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
Read more here
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*

Crazy dude arrested - Muslims don't care because he's crazy!
Check out this video that I found on this blog
This blogger* thinks that Zulfi Bukhari (from MPACUK) was making an incorrect point, but I agree with Mr Bukhari - Abu Izzadeen is nothing but a loudmouth who no one actually listens to.
But the media love talking about/to him - he's nothing to the Muslim community! He doesn't represent anyone, and he just goes on about stuff that nobody really gives a flying hookah about.
To have arrested him, like Mr Bukhari said, will not go down well within the Muslim community - what great steps we're taking towards helping Muslims to "integrate"
*this blogger has the funkiest views on the Middle East Conflict - he thinks is Israel is good! lol! how stupid can someone be? May Allah help the Palestinians through their suffering and pain. Ameen

Iran will be attacked - at precisely 4am on the 6th of April
The drums of hate are beating again, and the army of hate has Iran in its sights.
WASHINGTON DC, -- The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 am on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.” Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for 12 hours, according to Uglanov, from 4 am until 4 pm local time. Friday is the sabbath in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.
The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, and for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces to be wiped out.
The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviation from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula. The goal is allegedly to set back Iran’s nuclear program by several years, writes Uglanov, whose article was reissued by RIA-Novosti in various languages, but apparently not English, several days ago. The story is the top item on numerous Italian and German blogs, but so far appears to have been ignored by US websites.
Observers comment that this dispatch represents a high-level orchestrated leak from the Kremlin, in effect a war warning, which draws on the formidable resources of the Russian intelligence services, and which deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness by pro-peace forces around the world.
Asked by RIA-Novosti to comment on the Uglanov report, retired Colonel General Leonid Ivashov confirmed its essential features in a March 21 interview: “I have no doubt that there will be an operation, or more precisely a violent action against Iran.” Ivashov, who has reportedly served at various times as an informal advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, is currently the vice president of the Moscow Academy for Geopolitical Sciences.
Ivashov attributed decisive importance to the decision of the Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives to remove language from the just-passed Iraq supplemental military appropriations bill that would have demanded that Bush come to Congress before launching an attack on Iran. Ivashov pointed out that the language was eliminated under pressure from AIPAC, the lobbing group representing the Israeli extreme right, and from Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.
“We have drawn the unmistakable conclusion that this operation will take place,” said Ivashov. In his opinion, the US planning does not include a land operation: “ Most probably there will be no ground attack, but rather massive air attacks with the goal of annihilating Iran’s capacity for military resistance, the centers of administration, the key economic assets, and quite possibly the Iranian political leadership, or at least part of it,” he continued.
Ivashov noted that it was not to be excluded that the Pentagon would use smaller tactical nuclear weapons against targets of the Iranian nuclear industry. These attacks could paralyze everyday life, create panic in the population, and generally produce an atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty all over Iran, Ivashov told RIA-Novosti. “This will unleash a struggle for power inside Iran, and then there will be a peace delegation sent in to install a pro-American government in Teheran,” Ivashov continued. One of the US goals was, in his estimation, to burnish the image of the current Republican administration, which would now be able to boast that they had wiped out the Iranian nuclear program.
Among the other outcomes, General Ivashov pointed to a partition of Iran along the same lines as Iraq, and a subsequent carving up of the Near and Middle East into smaller regions. “This concept worked well for them in the Balkans and will now be applied to the greater Middle East,” he commented.
“Moscow must exert Russia’s influence by demanding an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to deal with the current preparations for an illegal use of force against Iran and the destruction of the basis of the United Nations Charter,” said General Ivashov. “In this context Russia could cooperate with China, France and the non-permanent members of the Security Council. We need this kind of preventive action to ward off the use of force,” he concluded.

I truly hope that Iran isn't attacked, but we've all got to stop kidding ourselves.
I personally think that they are gonna go for Iran, then Syria and then bring on Pakistan.
May Allah protect the innocent and end their suffering - Ameen.

"Reach Out To Israel, Arabs Urged"
I don't think everybody needs to be told as to what is going on in Palestine. Our mothers are being raped there this very second, and another one of our brothers just got shot in the head.
But I can't believe that Arab countries are being asked to reach out to Israel! Below is the article from the BBC
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has called on Arab nations to reach out to Israel.
Ms Rice was speaking in Jerusalem after three days of meetings with Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian leaders.
She said Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas had agreed to meet every two weeks.
Ms Rice also said there was a "path of co-operation" with the new Palestinian unity government.
The secretary of state was speaking on the eve of the opening of an Arab League summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
'Complex' issues
Ms Rice urged Arab nations to take a more active role in regional peace efforts, although she said the presence of the militant Hamas faction in the Palestinian government made the issues "more complex".
"The Arab states must be reaching out to Israel... to show Israel that they accept its place in the Middle East," she said.
Ms Rice said there could be co-operation with the new Palestinian unity government but stressed again that Hamas must renounce violence.
Hamas has refused to adhere to three key international demands to recognise Israel, renounce violence and honour previous peace agreements.
Ms Rice said Mr Olmert and Mr Abbas would meet regularly and that she would attend some of the meetings.
"They achieved something, which is the very regularised meetings between the two of them, in which they will not just talk about their day-to-day issues, but also about a political horizon," she said.
Ms Rice said it was "not inconceivable" for a peace deal to be reached before the end of US President George W Bush's tenure.
But she added: "We're not yet at the... [stage] of final status" negotiations.
I can't believe this - it's like they're saying "why don't you Arabs do more? - it's all your fault".
Yes the Arab nations should do more - they should help their Palestinian brothers and sisters by forcing the Western countries to see that they can't be paid up (as so many of the arabs have already) and that they want Israel to no longer exist - everyone can live in Palestine in peace. If it was possible in the past then surely it is possible now.
The part that really made my blood boil though was when Condoleeza Rice said:
"The Arab states must be reaching out to Israel... to show Israel that they accept its place in the Middle East," she said.
Israel is murdering innocent people day in and day out. The only crime of the Palestinians is that they are Palestinians.
But how do we stop this? How can we end the killing of the Palestinians?
The answer lies in our mental ressurection. We shouldn't stay oblivious to the butchering of the Palestinians. It's our foreign policy (along with America's ) which allows Israel to get away with murder.
Change the foreign policy, then you change the future of the Palestinans to something that they can look forward to.
Our mosques and our MPs have too long allowed injustice to prevail - now we have to hold them to account and show Allah that we are Muslims who do care and want to please Him.
If we politically activate then we can ensure that Palestinians get the justice that they deserve.
