Re: Segregation in the UK?
A couple more interesting links from Yesterday's Sunday Times:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...796280,00.html

This one highlights some of the issues involved with arranged marriages.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspap...796407,00.html

This one focuse on Cat Stevens and his proposed new album. The article seems to imply that his Islamic views are softening a little. However, the quote from one Muslim leader is initially quite amusing; but when it sinks in, you can see what a hardline approach this man has. It made me wonder if that is typical or atypical of Muslim thinking?

Quote:

Sheikh Ibrahim Mogra, chairman of the Muslim Council of Britainââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s mosque and community affairs committee, conceded some scholars would admire Islam for reaching out to the wider world with his message of peace but said: †œMy personal view is the only music that should be permitted is the voice and the drum. I do not believe the electric guitar is acceptable for Muslims. Contemporary music has many associations with dance, nudity and taking drugs, which is not allowed.ââ‚ ‚¬Ã‚
