Muslim MPs - they are good for something! Well... one is at least

I cam across this on the MPACUK website:

Shahid Malik Signs EDM!

Last week the Muslim Public Affairs Committee reported that 3 British Muslim MPs had not signed an early day motion regarding Israel's Relationship with the EU. It has now come to our attention that Shahid Malik has signed the Early Day Motion. What is remarkable is that he has had the moral and ethical courage to sign it.

We would like to ask the supporters of a just peace in the middle east to email Shahid Malik MP to congratulate him for signing the early day motion.

Unfortunately Khalid Mahmood MP nor Sadiq Khan have signed the early day motion. Please do email or call them and ask them why they have not signed it yet. There is no shame by signing it but there is shame for not having their names on there

It sad that Khalid Mahmood and Sadiq Khan couldn't be bothered to sign the EDM - you know, you'd think that Muslim MPs would atleast want to stand up against injustice, but it's a shame that isn't true.

Insha'allah as we get more Muslims finally getting involved in politics we can make a positive change cos the current ones aren't that good - but it is good to see that Shahid Malik is not a complete sell-out.

*cough* Khalid and Sadiq, sign the EDM *cough*
