    • 17 July 2009 • 5 comments

    Michael was a tragic victim of his own success. This, because the success he found was in the realm of an ever-changing entertainment industry; Michael was neither always relevant nor always admired. His success was set on a shaky pedestal from where it and he was then knocked down…

    • 26 April 2009 • 6 comments

    This Prophet of light then became the central figure in the life of every Muslim. He taught them how to eat, drink, speak, walk and sleep.

  9. Where will we find the perfect Muslim for monocultural Britain?

    • 30 March 2009 • 0 comment

    Somewhere out there is the Muslim that the British government seeks. Like all religious people he (the government is more likely to talk about Muslim women than to them) supports gay rights, racial equality, women’s rights, tolerance and parliamentary democracy…
