Indigo Jo Blogs Blog
Let’s hope Sally Clark stayed in today …
I’ve got a rather uncared-for Miscarriages of Justice page which I may have transferred to Blogistan but the link on my home page still points to my old Geocities site. It gives details of...
Another Respect-bashing article!
Another week, another Respect-bashing piece from a centre-left journo in the British press. The usual culprits are Nick Cohen and David Aaronovitch. (You can read the latest Aaronovitch piece here at the Guardian’s site.)...
No scam-baiting for me …
The fatwa I requested from Islam Online has been given … Dr Monzer Kahf, “a prominent economist and counselor”, wrote that it is permissible to lie in order to catch a criminal, but not...
Just back from the Lakes …
Last week I decided to go and join my parents briefly on their holiday in the Lake District. For those that don’t know, the Lake District is a part of north-west England, and it’s...

Kingston Green Fair & Galloway speech
It’s 10 days to go until the election insha Allah, and today I went to two separate Respect engagements – a stall they were running in Kingston Green Fair which was here in Kingston...
So, Abu Hamza’s off the streets
So, Abu Hamza’s finally been taken off the streets, not because of David Blunkett’s efforts to take his citizenship away so they can bury him alive in Belmarsh, but because the US government has...
Back on the wagons
I’ve just done two more days of driving trucks around – yesterday it was in a sort of anticlockwise circular tour of Surrey county, from Croydon to Weybridge, Egham, Woking, Guildford, then down to...
So, where’s Manji’s hadeeth coming from?
If you’ve been reading carefully you’ll have noticed that one of our “correspondents” has quoted a hadith to the effect that “religion is the way we conduct ourselves toward others …”. I didn’t realise...
Kerry, Michael Moore and getting rid of Bush
Now that Michael Moore and his film have won the Palme D’Or in Cannes, I thought it was time to posit this possibility. We hear quite often that Kerry’s main draw is that he...
Out on the streets for Respect
Today I was out in Kingston town centre again handing out the new newspaper-style election leaflets for the Respect Coalition. I had to wear a ‘jacket’ consisting of two of their “Bliar, Bliar, Iraq’s...
Back to the blog!
I haven’t had the opportunity to blog for a couple of days because I have been busy working – I went back to my old job agency on Wednesday and was out at work...
Threats halt car pool vigilante site
I found a rather amusing story about a website which put up pictures of lone commuters in California using the lane reserved for car-pools – until it was taken down following threatening emails. Over...
IACN article on Khilaafa …
I didn’t think I was going to have anything to blog today, until I got the circular from the “Islamic Affairs Central Network” in Nottingham, which had an article (follow the link “Khilafa Callers...
Another anti-philosopher
Unlike Saraji, I briefly did philosophy when I was in college (AS-level, one year, 1994-5). A little of it was interesting, much of it was boring and some of it was profoundly disturbing. We...
Couple of articles from today’s Guardian
While a lot of people are celebrating that the Bharatiya Ja-Nazi Party has been booted out of office in India, George Monbiot reports that some of the darlings of western politicians have been booted...
Robert Spencer is still lying
Ginny posted yesterday about sitting in her family’s truck while they listened to the infamous Robert Spencer’s appearance on the Michael Savage show (see here). Ginny is of course not the first Muslim convert...
Panorama scaremongering?
Did anyone else see that Panorama programme that was on BBC1 this evening? Did anyone else think this was a scare story? Even the Home Office refused to take part for precisely this reason....
Mono
I’ve been thinking of starting a new sub-blog to cover my tech interests which are becoming more prominent in my life now that I’m about to start my college project (insha Allah). The last...
