Happy birthday Malala yousufzai, 16 years old today, shot in the head (Oct 2012) for being a girl who wanted an education. Where in the Quran does it say that women cannot be educated? It's a rhetorical question.
This is a ridiculous pretext for power and control. I cannot understand any radical that went to fight a jihad in support of their cause, leaving mothers, sisters at home in blighty, free to watch tv, listen to take that or whoever else it might be, going to school, college or university...
I want the proper interpretation of Islam, I don't want a plastic imam, with an axe to grind, influence the mind of impressionable minds. I'm strong enough to express my views. There isn't anything that I'm saying that is outrageous. It's a tricky and almost dangerous proposition to have these views in certain parts of the world.
I'm not one to shirk my responsibilities but I've thought for many years that there is a significant disparity between what is preached and what is practised. It's become even more disparate when we try to reconcile culture with faith And western living.
These things are crossing my mind, I will write what I think, I'm fasting, I'm at peace with myself, I thought this as a non practising muslim. Am I a kufar for thinking like this? I think not, so why is this situation as it is? What is the reality of the situation, how can we change it?
