Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
I am continuing in my journey towards Hijrah alhamdulillah, with a few stumbles along the way but still I am satisfied with the speed I am getting things done with only my Arabic studies lacking at the moment.
I thought I'd give people an update on the CELTA TESOL course I am doing and my thoughts so far.
TESOL is a course for teaching non-English speakers English when they have some basic knowledge of English already.
It is an extremely well thought of qualification if you want to get into English teaching overseas (one way of supporting yourself once you have made hirjah) and the CELTA one is amongst the very best of TESOL qualifications.
Next week will be week 7 of the course and it will be the first time I am going to be teaching real students, so before Tuesday I must prepare a lesson plan and make myself ready to face the class who are a mixture of Saudi, Indian, Chinese, Italian and Iranian students.
Before this week we have covered the basics of how to prepare for lessons, the use of classroom resources and some basic grammar rules we must be able to teach.
I am finding most of the stuff I know already, I just didn't know all the names, rules etc but it just came naturally to someone who reads a lot alhamulillah.
I would recommend the TESOL course to anyone wishing to make Hijrah without qualifications or degrees, it is difficult and challenging but Inshallah it will all be worth it in the end.
More updates coming next week on my first lesson...
Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah

Somali Road Trip into Islamist Heartland - BBC
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Here is a story from the BBC showing the peace and security brought by the Muslims of ash-Shabab to the troubled nation of Somalia.
Somali Road Trip into Islamist Heartland - BBC
In the past I have heard every few miles of road was controlled by a different Clan militia or group of bandits, all demanding cash to let goods and people past, raping the women and killing men when they couldn't or wouldn't pay.
This report shows that although some roadblocks remain, only the Government forces take money from the people, that Ash-Shabaab and the other Islamic forces in Somalia do not rob the people, but instead look after them and their needs, giving security and peace to this troubled nation.May Allah swt reward these sincere brothers for their efforts, forgive them any mistakes they make and grant them a swift victory over the Kuffar and apostate forces, ameen.
Soon Inshallah the whole of Somalia, not just the south will be open for those of us determined to make Hijrah with the Muslims there actively asking for people to come and make Hijrah there and help them establish Islam as a full system, as it is meant to be lived.
Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah

The Extremists of Pakistan
ASIF SALAHUDDIN on 07 June, 2009
Taken from Daily Muslims
THEY have no tolerance. They speak, abusively if necessary, and desire little debate in return. They order and demand to be obeyed. They care not of another’s grievance or state of affairs, nor make any effort towards an understanding of such. They choose to remain ignorant of the world around and its realities that impact them. They wish their every whim to be met and every diktat to be followed by all. They are prepared to use violence - brutal, unrelenting and destructive violence – until they get their way.
Bearded, uneducated, warrior tribes from the North West reaches of Pakistan? No. The real extremists of Pakistan are the pseudo-intellectual, liberal elite dining away and making merry in the posh settings of Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.
For it is at their insistence that the might of the Pakistan army has been hurled indiscriminately at an entire civil populace, resulting in its wake the displacement of over 3 million people and the death of thousands. This now stands as the largest unsettlement of humankind caused by man since the Rwandan massacres in Africa fifteen years ago and further bigger than the migration during the Indian partition itself. All because of the US backed lie that a few thousand rag tag group of fighters could capture the capital and hence overrun the country.
These extremists sitting at the helm of the country have swallowed every instruction and propaganda issued by the Americans and in doing so have taken Pakistan down a path of self obliteration. The entire army now stands pitted against a major ethnic race in Pakistan and this in turn bodes only one outcome for the country – civil war leading to state level disintegration akin to the loss of East Pakistan.
Such individuals have chosen to completely overlook the fact that a major foreign power has shifted its entire focus on the region after having just meted out the same policy on Iraq where it has succeeded in destabilising the entire state and engulfing the country with ethnic and sectarian flames. They have ignored the fact that the USA has a brutal and dark track record of using its intelligence agencies to ferment such turmoil in countries and that these very agencies have now settled in Pakistan and have been given a free reign to run amok. The CIA and FBI are openly known to have offices in every main city, airport and a thorough presence in the capital Islamabad.
Such extremists, falling into two overlapping camps, are both drawn from the sitting and opposition political leaders, bureaucrats, elements of the so called ‘civil society’ and serving and retired military leaders. The first group has continued to grip the reins of power in the country and all the perks that come with it; essentially the hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from the USA for the trough from which only their snouts will gorge out of. The second group is a fanatically secular band that will turn vile the moment the words Islam and society are mixed in the same sentence.
Together, they have managed to execute quite immaculately the American plan to turn the US’s War on Terror into Pakistan’s War on Terror, since the people of Pakistan have simply refused to back the former.
But perhaps the biggest shame is that the real intellectual element of our society has gone along with this, or at best is standing idle at the wayside as silent observers, for it has been very easy to accept the mistruths churned out by the extremists.
The real truth – a lot harder to swallow – is that the US wishes to achieve complete domination in the region. It has to ensure that the planned oil and gas pipelines from Central Asia running through Afghanistan, down to the ports of Pakistan, remain undisturbed. Further it must guarantee that the waterways near the coast of Pakistan are never threatened by any other power and that the control of this vital Middle-Eastern oil artery remains completely under its domain. In doing so the US has concluded that the only real way to implement this is to militarily occupy the region and eventually carve up Pakistan into smaller, weaker and hence more manageable states.
However, this is something which the Muslim community in the ‘AfPak’ region have declined to play ball with as they simply refuse to be a subjugated people; they demonstrated this with the British over a century ago, they demonstrated this with the Soviets twenty years ago and they are now making this clear to the Americans. As long as these fighters attack the US troops in Afghanistan, and continue to disrupt their main supply line which comes from Pakistan, the US will not be able to achieve its materialistic objectives in the region.
After repeated drone attacks the US simply cannot stamp out this resistance. Nor has it been able to send its own troops across the border to tackle these elements, partly due to the immense anti-American public opinion in Pakistan. But what the US has now succeeded in doing is to get the Pakistan army to fight its war.
But how long will the sincere elements of Pakistan stand by and watch the country being torn apart for a foreign objective under the whims of such extremists? How long will the sincere officers in the Pakistan army continue to act submissively under the orders of their traitor commanders and continue with this utter madness that has gripped the country? They must act now and listen to the voices of reason around them that call them to a new future for our Islamic nation. They must act now otherwise very soon it will be too late and America would have won.

Afghanistan - The Land of the Lions of Tawheed
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Here is another country Hijrah profile, though with a little twist this time...
Lets face it any of us who attempted to move to Afghanistan to make Hijrah there today would be assumed to be militant whether we were or not and locked up at Bagram airbase, tortured, sodomised and raped until we confessed to whatever they wanted us to say.
So let us assume this is a Hijrah profile of Afghanistan in a few years after the crusaders have been expelled and the rule of the Taliban has returned pretty much as it was before with them trying their best to rule according to the Quran and Sunnah.
I am putting in a firm disclaimer here. I AM NOT IN ANY WAY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO FIGHT IN AFGHANISTAN AGAINST THE US OR UK OR ANY OTHER WESTERN FORCES BUT AM TALKING ABOUT A HYPOTHETICAL AFGHANISTAN OF THE FUTURE.
Going to Afghanistan today is very difficult for single bro thers and next to impossible for families and unless you have land / family support there it is pretty pointless now anyway as you would be a burden on the people not helping them.
For those wanting to try you need to go to South Eastern Iran and pay the people smugglers to get you over the bor der but sometimes they sell people out and you end up being passed onto N ATO. The other route is nearly as dangerous as you must travel fi rst to the Tribal territories in Pakistan and convince one of the Pakistan Taliban factio ns that you should be allowed to pass so either route is not recommended until such a time as things settle down in Afghanistan.
After those points which needed to be made here is the Afghanistan Country profile, as usual comments and feedback appreciated.
1. How easy is it to practice the deen, and to what level, how practicing are the people there.
Very easy with little interference, as long as you are don't annoy tribal codes of honour you are OK.
The cities have practicing and non-practicing Muslims but the rulers keep the non-practicing ones in line. The countryside is more practicing but in a more traditional way with Sufi traditions (both the shirk and non shirk types) and other jahil traditions that have nothing to do with Islam.
Deobandiyyah is very strong here, with the Brailwee traditionalso present, the Ahle hadith seem to be absent totally but the leadership of th e state are from Ahlus Sunnah even if almost all of the people are ignorant of what Ahlus Sunnah is (See article - Are the Taliban from Ahlus Sunnah?)
2. Whether Autopsy is allowed or not, what are the circumstances Autopsies are carries out.
No Autopsies allowed at all.
3. How easy is to move to that land and how easy or difficult is it to acquire citizenship.
Difficult to get to given international politics but possible. Once there any practicing Muslim is allowed to stay, making Hijrah to this land is encouraged by the government with guest houses in the capital and other major cities for Muhajaro on.
Despite what some people think it is not necessary to be a Mujahid to move here and others are encouraged to come also to setup Schools, Hospitals and he ld build other infrastructure.
4. What are the employment prospects for someone who i s a non-native language speaker and doesn’t have a degree.
Not so good, unless you can find a job wor king for one of the allowed aid agencies who work with the government.
The Mujahideen are given a basic wage here and there are Islamic schools being setup by Arabs but they really want to teach Arabic to the kids not English.
If you have some skills like medicine or teaching or engineering it should be possible to find some work but like everyone else here you are going to be living very simply indeed.
5. What are the medical facilities like for both residents and citizens.
Medical facilities are very basic, almost non-existent other than the charitable sector and most people are forced to travel to Pakistan for private treatment if something serious.
6. What are the other benefits like for both residents and citizens.
If you are out of work you can get work they will pay you to big roads and other manual labour but no free rides here.
7. What is the general culture like there.
The general culture is good, with a strong Islamic theme running through the culture and the people being very friendly and hospitable towards outsiders.
There are some Jahil traditions such as forced marriages and wife beating but these are being addressed through the Imams and Masaajid as part of official government policy.
8. What is the environment like, i.e what is the sea level rise with global warming going to do the coast line, what other natural resources are present in the case of the oil crash.
There has been widespread deforestation in the mountains which is causing soil erosion and global warming will result in less reliable water sources from the Mountains as higher temperatures will cause snow to melt earlier in the year so not supplying an all year water supply as before.
But Afghanistan if it gets its act together does have enough land and resources to convert itself to a medieval technology level agrarian society with the necessary infrastructure as it is not much above that now.
9. General stability. How sta ble is the nation, are civil wars or state-v-state wars likely in the future.
General stability within the country is g ood, though everyone is armed to the teeth and there is a war in the north with the Brailwee / Sufi / Shi'a / Secularist northern alliance.
The main threats are external as the US / UK and the rest of the West hate to allow anyone to rule by Islam and show an alternative system but as the world economy runs down with global warming and the oil running low then this should decrease.
Conclusion
The Afghanistan of the future when NATO leaves will be good for Hijrah, but we must unfortunately wait and see if it can happen.
What is certain is that even if they leave the West will remain determined not to allow the Muslims to succeed in building an Islamic state which will show up the evils of their own system so expect difficulties moving from your own lands to there.

Afghan police open fire after protesters burn effigy of Barack Obama
Afghan police opened fire to disperse up to 1,000 protesters in Kabul on Sunday after they burned an effigy of President Barack Obama in protest at American troops allegedly desecrating a copy of the Koran.
By Ben Farmer in Kabul
Published: 8:43PM GMT 25 Oct 2009
Daily Telegraph, UK
The protesters blocked roads at Kabul University and outside the national parliament with some shouting: "Death to America! Down with Israel!" Several students threw stones at riot police, but there were no reports of casualties. Zabiulllah, one of the demonstrators, who were mainly students, said "the people behind this humiliation should be arrested."
One banner displayed by the crowd said:
"No to democracy. We just want Islam."
US forces have denied burning a copy of Islam's holiest book while carrying out a raid last week in Wardak province, south-west of the capital.
Captain Elizabeth Mathias, a spokeswoman for the coalition, said an investigation had found the allegation was Taliban propaganda.
(Comment - Allahu Alim whether they did or not, but they have flushed the Quran down the toilet, stepped on the Quran many times and used them for target practice in the violated Masaajid of Fallujah).
She said: "We did not burn a Koran ... It is unfortunate that the protesters believe a Taliban rumour."
Security remains tense in the capital after President Hamid Karzai agreed to face his rival Abdullah Abdullah in a second round of voting on Nov 7. Both men said yesterday they were determined to press ahead with the election despite hopes in Washington that they might come to an agreement over the make-up of a future government that would dispense with the need for a second vote.
The 'benefit' of Somalia's Pirates - Channel 4 News
The increasing levels of piracy off the coast of Somalia have caused an unexpected spin-off, raising the levels of fish in the sea.
Fisherman in Kenya have reported bumper catches of shark and shellfish because commercial fishing boats from China and Japan have been scared away.
Now the fishermen are able to catch up to £200 worth of fish per day in an area where the average daily earnings are less than £5.
The massive factory trawlers which used to drain their fish stocks have been scared away and that means there is a huge bounty for local fishermen as well as helping to restore the health of the marine eco-system.

Britons believe 'Afghan war is failing'
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Don't believe the crap the BBC is telling you about their War in Afghanistan going well, the BBC has always been a propaganda wing of the Government during war time.
Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah
An overwhelming 84 per cent believe British troops are currently losing the war in Afghanistan, a Channel 4 News poll finds, as thousands march on London urging an end to the conflict.
Almost half of the UK public believe that military victory in Afghanistan is impossible and significant majorities think British troops are not winning the war and should be withdrawn either immediately or within the next year, according to a poll published today.
The YouGov survey for Channel 4 News was released as thousands of protesters gathered in London to call on the government to bring the 9,000-strong British force in Afghanistan home.
Today's poll uncovered a much more pessimistic attitude towards the conflict than in a similar survey in 2007, when 36 per cent said that victory was not possible.
Just 6 per cent of those taking part in today's poll said that British troops were winning the war, compared with 36 per cent who said they were not winning yet but eventual victory was possible, and 48 per cent who said that victory was not possible.
The figures suggested an overwhelming 84 per cent believe that British troops are not winning the war with Taliban militias at present.
Asked when British troops should be brought home from Afghanistan, 25 per cent said "immediately" and 37 per cent said most should be withdrawn soon, with the remainder pulling out within a year or so.
Some 29 per cent said the UK force should remain "as long as Afghanistan's Government wants them there", compared with the total 62 per cent who wanted them withdrawn immediately or in the coming year.
The poll suggests that the public mood is at odds with government policy that Britain and its Nato allies should see through their mission in Afghanistan and keep troops in the country until responsibility for its security can be handed over to home-grown forces in a process known as Afghanisation.
Only last week, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was ready to send a further 500 troops, so long as they could be properly equipped and form part of a Nato-wide reinforcement with each ally bearing its "fair share".
Anti-war protesters march
Lance Corporal Joe Glenton, who is facing court martial for refusing to return to Afghanistan, became one of the first serving soldiers to attend an anti-war demonstration since the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001.
He joined thousands of former colleagues, military families and anti-war protesters for a rally and march through central London, calling for British troops to be brought home.
L/Cpl Glenton said: "I am marching to send a message to Gordon Brown. Instead of sending more troops, he must bring them all home. He cannot sit on his hands and wait while more and more of my comrades are killed."
A total of 222 British troops have died since operations in Afghanistan began.
Jeremy Corbyn MP, vice-chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, said: "The war in Afghanistan has no clear war aims, is clearly escalating and spinning out of control and can only impact on Pakistan and the whole of South Asia.
"Nato forces have been in Afghanistan for eight years and the result appears to be increased drug production, high levels of corruption and terrible losses of life on all sides, civilian and military.
"Now is the time to change policy and bring the troops home to prevent Nato involving itself in a Vietnam-style quagmire."
L/Cpl Glenton will join the march along with Paul McGurk, who left the Army last month because he could no longer support the war.
Also expected to attend was Peter Brierley - father of Lance Corporal Shaun Brierley who was killed in Iraq - who earlier this month refused to shake Tony Blair's hand, saying it had "my son's blood on it".

Pakistan - Land of the Pure or land of Shirk and Secularism?
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Here is my latest country profile and the one I will most likely get emails from my friends about for being too unfair on their country, Yes it is time to take a look at Pakistan as a place to make Hijrah to.
So is Pakistan the land of the pure?
A place for true believers in Allah to go and establish the deen and please Allah?
This is one vision of Pakistan where Muslims are welcome to come, forbid the munkar in society and call people towards the good of monotheism and the Shariah.
But there has always been another vision of Pakistan since it's founding, of a secular Pakistan which is Muslim in name but far from Islamic.
These two contradictory aims, pulling at the Pakistanis from polar opposites are what make Pakistan such a good for Hijrah and at the same time such a bad one also.
So here is my country profile for Pakistan, feel free to comment, discuss or disagree if you like.
1. How easy is it to practice the deen, and to what level, how practicing are the people there.
Totally varied from place to place, though you can practice as much as you like, even travel in the path of Allah, but many of the people not practicing. There is also a brailwee majority, though these people are brailwee by default not conviction.
This means they may do deviant acts, far from the Sunnah but these people are totally illiterate in many cases and so the need educating on what the Deen of Islam truly is.
These two jokers for example are supposed to be pious Sufi teachers, this picture was taken at an anual sufi gathering where up to 1.5 Million of the worse Shirk loving sufis get together.Here is a link to the story about the place...
Can Sufi 'Islam' counter the real Muslims in Pakistan?
So if you are going to move to Pakistan you really need to check out where you are going to move to because if you are practicing as much as you can and you move into some Brailwee village of city district and the people are practicing Sihr, forced marriage and shirk then yes it is a good Da'wah opportunity but it is also going to drive you crazy and it will be fitnah for your family and if one of the best points about Hijrah is to move away from the Shirk and munkar then moving to these sorts of places in Pakistan is going to be bad news for you.
2. Whether Autopsy is allowed or not, what are the circumstances Autopsies are carries out.
Autopsies carried out in some murder and suspicious deaths in the cities but unknown in the towns and villages.
This is a real plus, as this is something practiced in most rich countries but the poverty and corruption of the Pakistani state and people prevent them from suffering from this evil harm.
3. How easy is to move to that land and how easy or difficult is it to acquire citizenship.
Extremely easy to move and live in this land if you have a UK passport but more difficult to get citizenship though people stop there for years and years no problem, especially in NWFP and Tribal areas.
If you are going to not cause too much trouble or take part in open rebellion you can stop for as long as you want and there are many Westerners living in the major cities and villages.
4. What are the employment prospects for someone who is a non-native language speaker and doesn’t have a degree.
Not brilliant as plenty of Pakistanis moving back who not only speak good English but also the local lingo also but some prospects teaching English.
This to be honest is the best employment opportunity for people going there as you will be Western and sadly enough they will love you for it, your English being better than the local teachers will get you the jobs but there is also the colonial mentality as well with the middle classes trying to be more English than the English.Some western companies are also moving their call centres to Pakistan like they have been doing to India for a few years now, the money is good compared to local rates of pay but I don't think most of us envisage working in a call centre full of young brothers and sisters checking each other out as our ideal job after Hijrah.
I think most of us would be fired within a few days after telling brothers and sisters to lower their gaze and stop all the filthy things that take place in mixed offices whether in the UK, the rest of the west or in the Muslim lands.
5. What are the medical facilities like for both residents and citizens.
All medical care is either private or charity, i.e good and expensive or free and not so good. Some parts of the country have good free or cheap hospitals but most don't, most have awful medical care unless you want to pay for private in which case you will get something getting close to a low class Western hospital.
6. What are the other benefits like for both residents and citizens.
Non existent, if you lose your job you have to beg, steal or starve. On the plus side the taxes are low also, so most people save up so if things do go wrong they are not stuck in such a bad way.Some families will only have a few individuals working and supporting the rest who are studying or chilling at home, this might seem very odd to us but it is normal in Pakistan.
7. What is the general culture like there.
Varies from region to region and village to village, would be better to say at least four distinct cultures for each of the four provinces but even this not really correct as more varied than this. Generally culture is very Jahil with Music and free-mixing common, open prostitution in some of the cities despite the Azhaan being called 5 times a day within hearing distance of such filth.But at the same time you can get a completely practicing community in the next village, or the next part of town. It is a total mixing pop with the filth alongside the good.
The people, especially in the cities are very westernised and do not really understand or value Islam. To them they see nothing wrong with going out meeting a girl, dating, sleeping around, mixing with cousins, dancing, music, it is all normal and part of their culture.
Other parts of Pakistan, especially in the north west are more Islamic, more practicing but even here you can get a lot of bad things going on in some places and shows you really need to do your research before you move anywhere.
One of the most evil customs I heard of was of women in Punjab being married to the Quran, where they don't wish to pass money out of the family when the father dies so where no cousin is available to keep the girl and her inheritance in the family they will marry her to the Quran in some bizarre Brailwee marriage ritual. Such women are then effectively nuns, unable to remarry and supposed to spend all of their time in seclusion when such a monastic lifestyle is expressly forbidden in the Deen of Islam.
8. What is the environment like, i.e what is the sea level rise with global warming going to do the coast line, what other natural resources are present in the case of the oil crash.
Over all the population of Pakistan is vulnerable due to its entire agricultural base being dependent upon melt water from the Mountains which will be less reliable in the future due to changes in weather.
Some areas like NWFP and tribal areas may benefit from milder winters and better growing conditions but rest of Pakistan is going to be worse off with more extreme weather patterns of droughts, followed by flooding.
9. General stability. How stable is the nation, are civil wars or state-v-state wars likely in the future.
Very unstable, Islamic revival has reached the level of open rebellion against the state in some areas and almost in a state of civil war all over the country.
I honestly think Pakistan is one of the three countries most likely to become a true Islamic state but there is likely to be a lot of bloodshed along the way as the apostate liberal secular elite will not give up power easily and neither will America let them go out of their influence without a struggle.
Conclusion
So there you have it, Pakistan. A land of total contrasts, easy to move to, but easy for the CIA to pick you up if you do anything wrong. Easy to practice but you must do so alongside prostitution and shirk.
As always, feedback appreciated.

Government anti-terrorism strategy 'spies' on innocent - Guardian Newspaper
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Below is a link to a story published recently in the Guardian Newspaper in the UK, it is left wing and socialist, so therefore atheist newspaper but it does occasionally come up with good stories, as does the Independent as well despite their open hatred of Islam.
Guardian Story
After reading that you will see these tactics detailed here in the UK are part of the Prevent Strategy, which is itself part of Contest II, which was supposed to be put on hold due to lobbying by Muslims in the UK (led by MCB) but it seems as usual the Government told the Uncle Tom's one thing and then went and did another.
SHOCK HORROR!Why do they fall for such tricks every time? Why do they trust the Kuffar when Allah has informed us they will never be happy with us until we follow their deen instead of the deen of Allah?
And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah's guidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper.
Quran Surah Baqarah, verse 120
Still, they attempted to stop such tactics, in the only way they knew how so credit to them for their intention even if they failed to achieve any reward from Allah by ignoring the need to follow the Quran and Sunnah not just good intentions in all that we do.
Inshallah it will wake a few more up to the reality of what is happening in the UK and the methods that Muslims should adopt which is not to integrate ourselves or isolate ourselves, but instead interact with society, seeking to change it without letting it change us. We need to challenge the evil without becoming part of it, never for one moment letting them think we accept them or their ways.
Instead all these groups seek to show off their anti-Islamic credentials in order to get Government cash, 'bidding' to see who can be most against their fellow brothers and sisters whilst still trying to keep the Muslims from rejecting them totally.
This article shows that if you are even a marginally practicing Muslim you are a target, they know Allah places a duty on all the believers to go out and enjoin the good and forbid the evil in society so therefore we are a threat to them.
Reverts like myself are even more of a threat, when I went for a meeting with a local Police Officer over our Da'wah Stall and all the complaints it was getting he asked me why I was attacked more than other Muslims? Simple, The Kuffar look at me and they think "that could happen to me, that could happen to my son or daughter, that could be my wife / husband."
But not just reverts but all Muslims are under threat here, you have to be totally with the Governments Secular / Liberal / Democracy Agenda or else you are threat, someone who might turn the other way, someone to be targeted to be turned towards the Kufr of Secularism / Liberalism / Democracy.
Even the MCB crew are considered too extreme these days, only total Kuffar idiots like the Sufi Council of Britain and Quilliam Society are good enough for them, those who totally turn against Islam and Allah's law and accept man's law when man has no such right to legislate.
The MCB used to be Government favourites, denouncing their brethren but then the Kuffar redrew the boundaries and the MCB clowns found themselves now considered extreme themselves, ironic.
Believe me brothers and sisters, when they brought out Contest I, people were shocked but many went along with it, and the government used it to sideline certain radical sections of the Muslim community.
Then people were shocked with the idea of Contest II, why would they be? Didn't the naming of Contest I imply something else was coming after it?
Now will people be shocked again when Contest III (maybe under a different name) comes out in a year or two aiming to slice another part of the Muslim community away and label it as dangerous and worthy of attack.
It is like the Muslims in the West and in the UK in particular are living through the parable of the three Bulls which for those who don't know it is one of the most important stories to reinforce unity in the Ummah, upon the Quran and Sunnah but the story goes like this...
There was once a Lion who came across three bulls: a red bull, a white bull and a black bull. The Lion tried to attack them but because they were strong together he decided to bide his time. He befriended the bulls and told them he was protecting them.
One day he called the Red Bull and the Black Bull and said ”My friends I am really concerned for you.”“Why?” they asked. The Lion responded “The White Bull represents a threat to you; he stands out with his complexion and he is going to make you a target for other predators and hunters; the lives of both of you at risk, let me eliminate him.”
The Red Bull and Black Bull agreed, after all the Lion was their sincere friend and King of the Jungle. The lion attacked the white bull and, because noone came to his help, he was defeated. The lion ate him.
A few weeks went by and the Lion called the Black Bull over and gives him the same speech ”The Red Bull represents a threat to you by attracting attention, let me eliminate him and you will be safe.”
The Black Bull agreed; he was a friend of the King of the Jungle so who cares about anyone else….So he allowed the Lion to kill and eat the Red Bull.
A few days later the Lion confronted the Black Bull and said “Now it is your turn”…The Black Bull finally realised his mistake and said, ”I was killed the moment the white bull was killed."
Once more it shows the need to stand together, I have huge disagreements with some Muslims, to the extent of considering some of them to be upon kufr but I would never help the Kuffar in an attack against them as it would be Kufr Akbar for me to do so.
Not so the Munafiqeen in the Masaajid committees up and down the country, who if they see an evil should stop it with their own hand, not call for the police or other authorities to knock down the door of their brother, dragging him and his wife out of bed in front of their kids for what is usually more often than not suspicions, not even proven wrong doing and suspicion and spying on each other are other haram acts these House Negroes see now problems in engaging in out of their total ignorance of Islam.
May Allah swt guide us all, and give us aid in leaving this land where we are just beginning to feel a little of the oppression that is coming, ameen.
One last reminder...
The smart Muslims left Andalus early, the less smart later, the rest stayed hoping for the best until they were killed, forcibly converted and had to watch their children learn Kufr and die upon It.
Let us learn from their mistakes, not repeat them or think Allah got it wrong when he informed us about the attitudes of the Kuffar towards the believers.
Assalaamu Alaykum,

October 2009 House Negro Award Goes to...
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Most of you will have heard of Malcolm X, many of you will have heard of his Islamic name of Malik Al-Shabbaz, the name he used more and more after leaving the nationalistic, racist and shirk infested Nation of Islam movement.
You might have also heard some terms he coined being used today, such was the level of his thinking, decades beyond anyone of his time that today we can still learn valuable lessons from his speeches.
One of those terms is the derogatory term of House Negro or House Nigger, and what does that mean? We'll use Malcolm's own words to explain this.
Obviously we know from the TV who are the chief house Negroes today in the world and America in particular and so inspired by the ridiculous Noble peace price given to the War monger in Chief, President Obama (previous nominees have included Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin so no surprise there) I've decided to hand out quarterly awards of my own for those who have especially helped the kuffar in their oppression of Islam in the UK.
Lets read those words of Malik al-Shabbaz again and see how he classified a house negro.
"To understand this, you have to go back to what [the] young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro — back during slavery. There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes – they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good ’cause they ate his food — what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master’s house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, “We got a good house here,” the house Negro would say, “Yeah, we got a good house here.” Whenever the master said “we,” he said “we.” That’s how you can tell a house Negro. If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate,” the house Negro would look at you and say, “Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?” That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a “house nigger.” And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house niggers running around here." Malik al-Shabbaz, aka Malcolm X
So who I've been thinking, who amongst the Muslims in the UK are the house niggers of today, there are too many uncle toms on the committees to mention them all, though some come close with their shopping of brothers to the Police so who else is more worthy of being our first recipient of this award and after some hard thinking I knew who is must be, that's right the award goes to... Ed Hussain!
YES ED HUSSAIN!
A man who so badly wanted to suck up to his masters in the British establishment that his name of Muhammed wasn't good enough, wasn't white enough so he abandoned his name along with his Deen and became simply Ed to his mates at the country club.
It surely can't be too long now until he is given a Knighthood and gets to go to the Palace to bow to the Queen in reality, rather than just in his writings and pick up his little shiny Christian cross medal to go with his Shiny new Car and all his other bling he gets as perks of being the biggest traitor to the Deen here in Britain.
But in the mean time, 'Ed,' here is your trophy. I didn't have enough money to buy a real one so I borrowed a picture of one from Google Images.
For those unaware, Here is some history of Ed and his fellow apostates at the Quilliam Foundation.
Having become 'radicalised' to hang around student cafes and University Islamic society handing out their magazine and growing goaty beards and talking endlessly about how all will be well when we have the Khilafa back again they realised such a policy of endless talking to themselves wasn't working and becoming disillusioned left the deviant group, Hibz but Tahrir.
Now there is nothing wrong with the idea of a Khilafa ruling over us, indeed it is obligatory and we are in sin for not enacting this rule of Allah but rather than turning to true Islam as many ex-HT members have done he instead turned to kufr, rejecting several key ideas of Islam such as the Shariah and Khilafa and embracing man-made law and democracy.
Having turned his back on Islam Ed and his buddies now get £700,000.00 per year from the British Government to support their war against Islam, to provide moral support to those who terrorise innocent brothers and sisters, to spy on fellow Muslims and generally act as the 'reasonable' face of Islam.
All so the UK government can point to them and say to the media "look, not all Muslims are against us, here is one I bought earlier and he is the best Negro servant I've ever had, when he is done writing articles supporting our wars and oppression he is going to wash my car and mow the lawn."
I must admit I have total Bara towards this man, Yes I hate his guts and pray Allah swt guides him away from the kufr he is upon and away from the kuffar he has taken as his awliya and back towards Islam.

Qatar - Its got more than Al-Jazeera going for it you know!
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,
Time for another country profile, for a look at a particular country that people seem to be making Hijrah towards and what are the positives and negatives and this time we will be looking at the tiny gulf nation of Qatar.
As always these are my own impressions, from my own research and others are advised to look into matters themselves and if people feel I am wrong in some matter then correct me.
As as before, I will be listing matters which are important factors for me and my family when we make our Hijrah, others might have completely different ideas on what is important to them.
1. How easy is it to practice the deen, and to what level, how practicing are the people there.
Adhaan five times a day, easy to pray salaah in many masaajid and men and women both cover properly so on a surface level very easy to practice but…
The King has absolute power and would certainly not take kindly people speaking against him or his government or his policies so a need to be very careful on what is said and to whom.Saying that, others who have been forced out of other lands have settled in Qatar which is conservative, but not like Saudi, liberal but not like Dubai, these include Yvonne Ridley, Yusuf al-Qadawi, Billal Phillips and Sheikh Al-Albani for a time after he was told to leave Saudi for refusing to kiss Saudi Royal butt.
Al-Jazeera also seems to get away with saying an awful lot that wouldn’t be able to be said in other gulf Arab countries and that is the national tv network owned by the government.
There aer also good Da’wah opportunities with a large expatriate work force. They have the Fanar Islamic cultural centre which is specifically designed and built to give Da'wah to non-Muslims and teach non-Muslims the basics of the Deen.
2. Whether Autopsy is allowed or not, what are the circumstances Autopsies are carries out.
Autopsy only allowed with the express permission of the family.
3.How easy is to move to that land and how easy or difficult is it to acquire citizenship.
Easy to move here IF you have work, have recently started allowing foreigners to acquire property and settle but only with residency, next to impossible to get citizenship, requires 25 years residency and good reputation and considered an asset to Qatar, those these rules have been bent for foreign athletes who play for Qatari sports teams.
4. What are the employment prospects for someone who is a non-native language speaker and doesn’t have a degree.The language of business is English, so good prospects, but on the down side this is the richest country in the world so they demand degrees and diplomas sometimes even for little office jobs that anyone with GCSE’s would do in the UK!
They do pay brothers and sisters who are native English speakers to go work in their Masaajid and Da'wah centres to talk to the non-Muslims, visit them in hospitals so a potential career path there - imagine getting paid to do what you love anyway?
5. What are the medical facilities like for both residents and citizens.
Medical facilities are excellent and free for citizens and heavily subsidised for residents. This is important as it means we don't have to worry about falling ill and blowing all our savings on operations etc.
6.What are the other benefits like for both residents and citizens.
Good other benefits but only for citizens, nothing else for residents.
7.What is the general culture like there?
Traditional Arab culture, but government trying to modernise and the large youth are often more interested in racing their cars and throwing their mobile numbers at girls in the mall.
This aspect is disappointing and because the place is so small and urbanised, there is no real alternative culture out of the cities. But like everywhere else in the Ummah, the Islamic revival is pushing back.8. What is the environment like, i.e what is the sea level rise with global warming going to do the coast line, what other natural resources are present in the case of the oil crash.
Environmentally very vulnerable to the crash, massively over populated considering its natural limit without oil and will become an island with sea level rises cutting it of from Saudi.
Getting stuck here is worse than being stuck in the UK in many ways, before oil only about 20-30,000 people lived in the region that became Qatar, living off fishing, and looking for pearls but with oil it is supporting 1 Million people if you include all the migrants.
9. General stability. How stable is the nation, are civil wars or state-v-state wars likely in the future.
Extremely stable, people happy with the regime or content enough anyway, no border disputes.
Conclusion
So there is my impressions of Qatar, looks good for the first stop on a Two step Hijrah plan, somewhere to earn lots of money then go off and buy land elsewhere.
But not somewhere you would want to move to with your family for good, even if they would let you (which they wouldn't).
Inshallah, brothers and sisters have found this useful, feedback would also be helpful to me to let me know if I can improve things on here.
Assalaamu Alaykum,

Veneration of Saint Therese - Open Idolatry
Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters in Islam,
In case any Christians or others are reading this after Googling St Therese, well let us give you the greeting given to us for people like you by Muhammad (saws) which is 'Peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance.'
I came across this story recently in the UK press...
St Therese tours the UK
I must admit I cannot imagine a greater display of Idolatry, anything so far removed from the true message of Jesus Christ (as) than this.
Tens of thousands, quite possibly many times more will travel many miles to seek blessings from the bones of this dead woman.
Many others will keep pictures like this in their front rooms where they will venerate them, pray to them and seek help and guidance from them. I know this from personal experience having Catholic family members and their churches likewise are full of such Idolatry.
The Hindu's must be scratching their heads, wondering what happened there? When did the Christian's all convert to Hinduism in the UK?
I mean really what is the difference between seeking intercession from a Catholic (or indeed Muslim) saint and the Hindus going to their gods?
I'll tell you, nothing!
Allah tells us in Surah Fatihah, only in him can we ask others for help in such matters! Yet people disobey Allah and seek help in others. Many ignorant 'Muslims' have left the fold of Islam by copying such behaviour, doing exactly as Rasoolullah (saws) warned us,
Sahih Muslim, Book 34, Narration Number 6448:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: Allah's Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by your words)" those before you"? He said: Who else (than those two religious groups)?
The message of all the prophets was the same, only turn to God, not to them, not to false men and certainly not to little old ladies who although sweet and nice on the surface are calling people towards Shirk, towards the hellfire.
Man is born with a disposition to seek out and worship his creator, alone without partners, this is what in Islam we term your 'fitrah' but Shaitan, the devil is whiley old dog and will use any trick he can to turn people from the truth.
One of the easiest ways of doing this is misleading people with false visions, false miracles and then taking them into shirk and down into hell with him on the day of judgement. They remain on this shirk their whole lives as they think they are on the right path, and refuse to listen to anything of the truth because of this and Shaitan has won such people even more than his has the Hedonists who might at least repent and turn from their evil ways.
So Muslims, don't forget to bring this one up with your Catholic colleagues at work, school, college, or university and explain to them their Shirk and how they should turn towards the true message of Jesus Christ (as), which is to worship God alone, without partners - the message of Islam.
Any Catholics reading this... surely you can see this is not what Jesus (as) came to teach us? Surely you can see this no different to the idolatry of the misguided people to whom God sent prophet Abraham (as) or no different to the Hindus of today?
Assalaamu Alaykum,
Peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance,

Army refused to investigate Iraqi abuse claims, investigator claims
From
October 12, 2009
Senior British army commanders in Iraq refused to investigate hundreds of cases of abuse against Iraqi civilians that led to serious injury or even death, a former member of the Royal Military Police has claimed.
The former Red Cap investigator alleged that some of the worst cases had been covered up and that the interests of the military had taken precedence over the interests of justice.
It has been claimed previously that top commanders in Iraq ruled out calling in the RMP in cases where it was judged that deaths or injuries involving Iraqi civilians could not be directly attributed to British military action.
However, the new allegations, made by a former member of the RMP in an interview with Donal MacIntyre on BBC Radio 5 Live last night, could reignite the question of the treatment of detainees and the conduct of soldiers during the campaign against Shia militia extremists in southern Iraq between 2003 and 2007.
The Army is already facing embarrassing revelations during the public inquiry into the death of Baha Musa, the Iraqi hotel receptionist who died in British military custody after 36 hours of mistreatment in September 2003. Last week Dean Liggins, formerly of the 1st Battalion The Queen’s Lancashire Regiment, which had arrested and detained Mr Musa, said that it was standard practice for detainees to be hooded, despite this having been banned in 1972. Mr Musa’s head was covered in double hessian sacks for his time in custody, when temperatures reached 50C.
The RMP investigator said that the force had been out of its depth in Iraq. “I’ve seen documentary evidence that there were incidents running into the hundreds involving death and serious injury to Iraqis in the last six or seven years where the chain of command of the Army had decided that the circumstances did not warrant a Royal Military Police investigation . . . and it’s of great concern that among those there will have been undoubtedly suspicious deaths and serious injuries that were never properly investigated,” he said.
He alleged that the military chain of command made it difficult for the RMP to operate independently by not providing resources or denying access to prevent investigations. Investigators who failed to toe the party line would be overlooked for promotion and receive an “adverse report”.
Referring to Mr Musa’s case, he said: “It was a murder investigation on a plate . . . and amazingly this investigation was closed down or put in the waiting tray for a whole year.
“The whole system of military justice is flawed . . . and there is a very high risk there are other Baha Musas out there because of the number of incidents not investigated at all by the Royal Military Police, let alone an ineffective investigation,” he said.
In response, Lord Goldsmith, said that several cases had been brought to his attention during his time as Attorney-General: “I was concerned that the chain of command was interfering with investigations, was blocking investigations that should take place”.
Referring to the anonymous whistleblower, he added: “What he has been saying about the structural issues of the Royal Military Police . . . frankly do chime with concerns I had during the time I was Attorney-General.”
After a series of courts martial involving alleged mistreatment of Iraqi detainees that led to deaths — most of which ended in acquittals — Brigadier Robert Aitken, director of army personnel strategy, was commissioned to carry out a review of all allegations. He concluded that there was no systemic abuse by the Army in Iraq.
After the latest allegations, the Ministry of Defence said: “The RMP is subject to exhaustive inspection by bodies such as Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary. This provides the assurance that the RMP has the capability, capacity and competence to conduct investigations into serious crime. Over 100,000 of our personnel served in Iraq and, with the exception of a few individuals, they have performed to the highest standards under extraordinarily testing conditions.”
The unnamed former RMP man claimed: “There’s a catalogue of blunders, mistakes, ineptitude and the course of investigations being bent to serve the real or perceived interests of the chain of command of the Army.”
It was reported last night that the Government was planning to cut 900 jobs from the MoD Police. The force is responsible for guarding nuclear sites.
French Gay Paedophile promoted to be Minister of State
Assalaamu Alaykum all,
Look at this face... This is Frederic Mitterrand, TV presenter, intellectual, nephew of the former socialist president and self confessed and open abuser of young children.
It's the face of the future, no not everyone in the future will look that ugly but this man represents the coming of age of the Homosexual lobby in the West, a Paedophile who openly admitted travelling to Thailand to buy young boys for sex promoted to be Minister of Culture in France. It's not even like they were ignorant of his past, he put it all in his own biography which was published in 2005.
And what an accurate and apt Cultural Minister he is, everything evil and sordid in the West shown in the face of one man.
The thing is with Sodomites is that they, like all sexual deviants, having given in to the whisperings of Shaitan once are prey to keep doing so again and again.
Keeping on sinking deeper and deeper, using their wealth, their power, their influence to drag others down and so further the Shaitanic society they represent.
This is why so many Homosexuals are also paedophiles, buggering younger and younger men until they sink into attacking children. They are already weak, they are already slaves to their desires and so slaves to Shaitan and so wish to push this upon all of us.
This has often been the allegation levelled at the Homosexual lobby, that it was homosexuality today and buggering of boys tomorrow. That they would never be happy with sex with consenting men (as evil as that is) but wanted to return to the evil times when ancient Greeks used to keep boy slaves for their amusement and here is quote directly from this evil scum...
"All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excited me enormously... the abundance of very attractive and immediately available young boys put me in a state of desire."
The West has always seen ancient Greek society as the pinnacle of civilisation, they copied its values, its governmental system of democracy and now its open slavery and buggery of boys.
One more reason we need to get out of here as soon as we can, but whilst we are here lets all denounce this evil man, this evil way of life that perverts the nature of man that Allah gave him and abuses those too young, too poor, too oppressed to know better or help themselves if they did.
Assalaamu Alaykum,

The Pope's having a laugh! or... People in gold plated, marble homes with stained glass windows shouldn't thrown stones!
Assalaamu Alaykum,
To the non-Muslims - peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance,
The pope was having a go at materialism and the evils of all this greed coming from the West recently whilst visiting Africa.
for those who missed it here is the story from the BBC...
BBC, Pope's visit to Africa
Now lets face it, the guy is right. Western Material is toxic spiritual rubbish. Couldn't agree more with the Pope on that one.
But in case you missed it, here is how Popey boy dressed when delivering the sermon...
Now call me a cynic here, but isn't he a little over dressed for delivering this message?
I mean, shouldn't he be a little more humble and maybe have worn something with a little less Gold thread in it?
Isn't the gold throne and gold crosses he is surrounded by a little OTT, and how seriously are we supposed to take his message of not abandoning a simple spiritual life for the materialism of the West when the man lives in this!
This place is huge! you could house half of Africa in there. I mean look at the size of the place? You can perhaps understand how the Pope is a little out of touch with reality and the true simple humble life led by the prophet Jesus Christ (upon him be peace) when the closest he gets to real people is waving from his balcony.
Look here's a picture of him waving...
Waving to all the people who have come to Worship him, this is truly sick. "Hello, come kiss my holy but you idiots, give me all your money!"
I mean as Muslims we are told by Allah in the Quran,
Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. Quran (5:82)
But this man is so far from even this level, he is on some next level of arrogance, above even the kings and presidents of the world. Where is the simple humble lifestyle of the prophets? Gone, instead we have Papal palaces and Papal thrones.
Here is the man's chair...
Quite big isn't it? Lets face it, that is one big chair. When the Christians envisage JC sitting down with his companions, do they really think he was sitting in anything like this?
No. Of-course not, but still people follow him and his corrupted faith.
And by the way, this picture of the Papal throne really doesn't do it any justice what-so-ever. You need to zoom out a little to see the full effect and the full pomp of this ridiculous setup...
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF IT!
And the man who sits on THAT chair has the cheek to talk to anybody about anything to do with morality, to tell people not to be materialistic.
You know someone living in a gold plated, marble home with stained glass windows really shouldn't be throwing stones.
This man is so far misguided, so far removed from the true simple teachings of the prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus Christ and Muhammad (peace be upon them all and all the other prophets also).
But yet people listen to him, take him as their spiritual teacher. We all see the Hindu guy selling charms as a Charlatan but give a man a gold throne and all of a sudden he is believable, I mean if he and his predecessors ripped off so many people in the past then he cant be a fraud can he?
I am sure other Christians reading this are sitting there all smug, but heay here is a picture of the residence of the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury. He isn't doing too badly out of the old simple God fearing man business is he?
Here is one of the many mansions built by the TV Evangelists in the US on the money of Christians who are told to buy their promotional materials 'and support the Lord's work!'
At least they get to marry into the bargain as well, the poor Pope gets all that cash but because of modern media he doesn't get to spend so much of it on women of ill-repute as his predecessors.
If that comment upset some catholics reading this, well this turn this off before you read the next comment... Check the link.
Bastard Pope Family History
That's right, not only did Popes have many mistresses and affairs but they also rigged the elections and got their bastard sons into the seat after them.
And yet the present occupant of the chair, lectures to the world on the need to follow a simple religious life, free of materialism whilst at the same time surrounded by Gold leaf, Silk Marble and hundreds of servants and sycophants.
Why do people trust this man when he is so obviously insincere in his character, which he shows to the world through his actions?
God / Allah says in his final revealed scripture to mankind, the Quran.
And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and Allah will inform them of what they did.
O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of the Book and passing over much; indeed, there has come to you light and a clear Book from Allah;
With it Allah guides him who will follow His pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness into light by His will and guides them to the right path.
Quran (5:14-16)
The Christians therefore reading this, being disgusted at the behaviour of their leaders should go instead look at the example of the Muslims.
Go to any village in England, any village and the first or second biggest house will be the vicarage. Even today the vicar gets a sweet deal, in this life at least (his next will be much more unpleasant).
But go to a Muslim village or community, the man usually with the most simple home is the village Imam as we don't put money before piety and we certainly don't 'sell God' and expect to get rich in this life on the proceeds, the only time an Imam is rich is if he has earned his money otherwise.
I am not trying to say Muslims are perfect but compare such examples to your Popes, your Arch-Bishops, your Millionaire Evangelicals?
Who is closer to God's true message and teachings as given to us through the example of the prophet's? the Christians or the Muslims?
Assalaamu Alaykum,

To the non-Muslims - peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance,
The pope was having a go at materialism and the evils of all this greed coming from the West recently whilst visiting Africa.
for those who missed it here is the story from the BBC...
BBC, Pope's visit to Africa
Now lets face it, the guy is right. Western Material is toxic spiritual rubbish. Couldn't agree more with the Pope on that one.
But in case you missed it, here is how Popey boy dressed when delivering the sermon...Now call me a cynic here, but isn't he a little over dressed for delivering this message?
I mean, shouldn't he be a little more humble and maybe have worn something with a little less Gold thread in it?
