| PHOTO-TIPS | Party It!
 Idea
Capture the Light !
Knowing that a photograph is as simple as a piece of light captured on a film, we can then play around it generating a lot of creative, fun, and amazing things resulting a “party.” :)
The concept of this “party” is all about long shutter speed; with movement. If you remember the “ghost” tip we covered in the previuos issue, thid is very close in principle to this one.

| CAPITA | Mu’hammad (P.B.U.H.) In Others’ Words

George Bernard Shaw

| OCCIDENTAL VIEW | Giving “Freedom of Speech” a Bad Name
The Sanctity of the freedom of expression is validated by reason and is not a reason in itself to exercise it.
“…one of the founding principles of our E.U.rope is freedom of expression, including the right to criticise. It should be crystal clear to all that violence, intimidation, and the calls for boycotts or for restraints on the freedom of the press are completely unacceptable.”
- E.U. Justice Commissioner

| OCCIDENTAL VIEW | T.V. Images Don't Bring Change
For weeks after the racialized poverty of New Orleans was laid bare in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, people in the United States asked, “Could this be a turning point? Is this a moment when America might wake up to the inequality and racism in our own country?”

| MACROPHONE | To Take a Bullet for Him
Back in 1993, when I was sharing an apartment with John during the school year, he suggested that I see the newly released movie “Dave” starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. The storyline of the movie was about an affable car salesman with uncanny resemblance to the U.S. President who finds himself forced to replace the real President in an attempt by the White House staff to avoid a potentially explosive scandal.

| MACROPHONE | Finding a Breeze in Chaos
We all have the right to make our voices heard. Practicing this is a basic human right that all people, from childhood and onwards, should enjoy. It is our freedom of speech. Yet freedom of speech has at times caused chaos when it was detached from a sense of social responsibility. In light of the Danish anti-Prophet cartoons and in describing them as freedom of speech, a wave of chaos hit our shores.

| MACROPHONE | Where Have All the Morals Gone?
As Muslims, we are extremely blessed to have an example to help guide us in our daily lives, and that is the example of our beloved Prophet Mu’hammad (P.B.U.H.). Prophet Mu’hammad (P.B.U.H.) was a man of utmost character. He was kind, gentle, understanding, yet at the same time, people did not take advantage of him because he was respectful, considerate, and tolerant.

| INSIGHT | The High Morality of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
As a verse of the ’Qur a~n reveals, “… Mu’hammad is the Messenger of Allaah and the Final Seal of the Prophets.” (Surat al-A’hzaab: 40), the Prophet Mu’hammad (P.B.U.H.) was sent to mankind as the last prophet. He was a living example of the sublime morality of Allaah’s last revelation. He was a friend of Allaah and inspired humanity by his nearness to Him. He was His representative, noble in His eyes, and a friend to all believers.

| FAIR VIEW | Islaam as a Pastoral in the Life of Malcolm X
The Autobiography of Malcolm X is a hymn of praise to the soul of man, which can survive in the face of the most corrupting circumstances. This heroic achievement is possible because man is always capable of dreaming of a world of pastoral innocence and of maintaining a measure of spiritual purity even after becoming the most cynical of all cynics.

| IN DEPTH | Islaamic Consciousness: Nationalism or Anti-nationalism? (Part 2/2)
“Terrorism”
That is why, for instance, there is a propensity to view the violence perpetrated by Transnational Militants simply as “terrorism” – which indicates a focus on its methods and effects – rather than transnationalism – which is a corollary of, and reaction to, the illogicality of the nation-state given the current advanced state of technology. The masses, in other words, do not possess the necessary concepts or the mindset to produce words that ...

| LETTER TO THE EDITOR | A Caricature of Academic Freedom:Nasser Amin and the reality of free expression for Europe’s Muslims
Axiomatically, leading academic institutions involve intense and varied debate over a variety of topics, and some of that debate ranges over territory that mainstream conversation often misses. The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), a prestigious higher learning institution in the centre of London, would appear to have a defender of free and open discussion in head Colin Bundy. In the last month, the Director and Principal has openly defended the right of an apologist for the Uzbekista ...
