I was fortunate enough to pray magrib with br. Yusuf today at the regent park mosque in London.

He is extremely humble in his mannerism. The only thing that made me aware of him was the little children pointing at him then I realized that he was next to me.

The mosque it self is beautiful and located in the heart of London a block away from Lords

Yusuf Islam hangs out with Hamza Yusuf who I really like. I like Yusuf Islam too but Hamza Yusuf speeches always bowl me over.

bannas, dem na need me help.

On Saturday I travelled from West London all the way to East London and I tought that I was in Saudi Arabia. Them men wearing full gowns with head scarf like the imans at the Haram.

As for Hijabs, the only place I saw more Hihabs was in Saudi Arabia.

Its only now I kind of understand the magnitude of the issues over there.

As for downtown London, all you see is the rich arabs shopping as if things will finish in the stores.

Just like it is over here, the white people selling their homes in London and moving into the country to get away from the brothers and sisters.

There is going to be a serious backlash against Muslims in London and it wouldn't come from whites. Its the Hindues, Sikhs and Africans who are tired of all the Sharia Law talk.

Is mostly on University campuses, Muslim youths are threating Hindu girls to tell thier parents that they are engaged in sex with them if they don't convert. Photos of a few girls have been posted in a half naked state on the internet.

Thursday, February 22, 2007 ‘Hindu women being targeted for Islam’
.
“…Muslim extremists who try to force teenage Hindu girls to convert to Islam are being targeted in a new police crackdown. The recruiters – often paid £5,000 for each success – are stepping up ‘aggressive conversion’ tactics, especially around universities, religious leaders believe.


Some young students have been beaten up and forced to abandon their courses by extremists, Hindu leaders told a security conference.
Islamic extremists invited the girls on dates before beginning campaigns of ‘terrorism’ until they converted, they claimed.
.
Ramesh Kallidai, from the Hindu Forum of Britain, said: ‘Extremist Muslims make life miserable for Hindu girls. ‘Some are petrified; they feel these men have complete hold on them. One girl was beaten up in the street and others have been forced to leave university.’

The problem was most common in cities such as Birmingham, Leeds and Bradford, he added, while London universities had ‘at least two or three cases’ each.

Mr Kallidai estimated hundreds of girls had been targeted, with some reports of Muslim boys being offered £5,000 ‘commissions’.
.
The National Union of Students said it did not want to discriminate against Muslims but agreed some extremists were causing concern.
They have managed to infiltrate Brunel University in West London, Bedfordshire University, Sheffield Hallam University and Manchester Metropolitan University, according to a Muslim charity.

Scotland Yard is to set up a Hindu Safety Forum with ‘aggressive conversion’ as its top priority.”

Sounds like nonsense to me. Why would you want to convert half naked girls? To cover them up?

Islamic Student Recruiters Targetted By Cops
Thursday, 22nd February 2007, 14:50
Category: Crime and Punishment


Extremist Muslims who force hundreds of vulnerable teenage girls to convert to Islam are being targeted by police, it was revealed today.

Cops are working with universities to clamp down on the practice of 'Aggressive Conversion' that has seen girls beaten up and forced to abandon university courses, announced Sir Ian Blair, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.


Those most at risk are Hindu or Sikh girls, who are especially vulnerable, according to the Hindu Forum of Britain.

They claim that hundreds are subject to intimidation, threats and beatings by Muslim men who take them out for dates before beginning a campaign of 'terrorism' until they convert to Islam.

And they say some Muslims are being paid up to £5,000 for every person converted to Islam in parts of the country.


Sir Ian Blair stated his support for the Hindu community at a conference organised by the Hindu Forum of Britain.

Ramesh Kallidai, secretary general of the Hindu Forum of Britain, said the Hindu and Sikh community were infuriated by the conversions.

He said: "There is a lot of passion and resentment in the Hindu and Sikh community over aggressive conversions and intimidation on university campuses.

"Extremist Muslims make life completely miserable for Hindu girls. Some are completely petrified because they are constantly being phoned up, having their door knocked. They feel these men have a complete hold on them.

"One girl was beaten up on the street and and others have been forced to leave university.

"We believe there are at least two or three cases in each of the universities in London alone, based on what we know from victims telling us.

"It is probably more prevalent in cities such as Birmingham, Leeds and Bradford and I would absolutely say are hundreds of such cases.

"We have seen posters in Luton that specifically ask Muslim boys to convert Hindu and Sikh girls because they are very vulnerable.

"They are encouraged to go on dates with Hindu girls, and once they have won their trust, to aggressively convert them.


"I have even heard rumours that Muslim boys are paid as much as £5,000 to convert someone.

"The problem is we don't know the full extent of the problem because even coming to tell us takes very brave girls. They know the boys that do it and are frightened they know where they live."

Last November, Higher Education minister Bill Rammell claimed University campuses had become focal points for Islamic extremism.

Police urged any girls who have been targeted to report aggressors to them.

However Mr Kallidai said they were not doing enough to tackle the problem and that they needed to identify the extent of the problem before attempting to deal with it.

He continued: "The problem is that police are saying they will deal with this and work with universities, but they don't know the scale of the problem.

"They've got to encourage people to report and intimidation, then investigate the problem. They need to find ways in which girls will feel more confident to report it.

"I think a dedicated, confidential line would be of help - something like Crimestoppers is too general."

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The Commissioner and other Metropolitan Police colleagues attended a Hindu security conference organised by the Hindu Forum of Great Britain yesterday.

"The Commissioner told attendees that the Met understood the feeling in the Hindu community that police had not given them as much attention as some other groups and gave reassurance that their concerns are taken seriously.

"The issue of Hindu girls being reportedly subjected to aggressive conversion techniques and intimidation on university campuses was raised.

"Neighbourhood police officers work with university authorities in London and we would encourage anyone who has been targeted in this way to seek help and support and where necessary use third party reporting facilities if they do not want to contact police directly."

Seems like someone is trying to stir up a Hindu-Muslim war in London for the article failed to point out if any of the allegations are true.

Responsible Hindu and Muslim leaders should step in right now and put an end to this.

Another interesting thing I observed is the number of Halal resturaunts.

Each one I visited served alcohol, so it looks like people make sure they eat halal cutters with their drinks.
