Purpose behind this blog. I have a simple question for you. What do you think will be the state of Muslims in the west in 20 -30 years time? What do you think will be the most relevant issues the next generation of Muslims in the west will face?

If you are thinking after my last entry that I am trying to justify birthdays you are mistaken!!!Personally I don't feel comfortable celebrating my own birthday.

Not the haram practices that can be done at birthday parties like drinking and dancing etc. There is no dispute on this matter. However there is dispute on whether Muslims should or should not celebrate birthdays even by "Halal" means. i.e. if the
