The BBC News reports today that a number of Cardinals in Italy have urged women to exercise extreme caution before entering into "mixed-marriages." What they really mean is marriage to Muslim men.
One wonders whether their advice is based on concern for the marital well-being of the Italian woman, or out of fear that the Italian women will convert to Islam. How often is it that you hear of a non-Muslim woman marrying a Muslim, who despite not practising properly will expose her to the Islam in a way that the media rarely does, and ends up converting. [Alhumdulillah, quite often :)]
On another note, we've passed the shortest day of the year and summer is now officially coming. A couple of years ago i planned to spend the summer visiting different places in the UK, but somehow that plan fell by the wayside. I'm hoping that this summer i can visit some places... anyone got any recommendations?

I did read something similar a few omths ago about the vatican not recommending Mixed marriages. I'm a product of a lapsed Jewish - Catholic marriage that has lasted well over fifty years I reverted to islam in the late 1970s .
I recommend you could try the Yorkshire dales and the north york moors go up the old A1 which takes you through Northumberland and right up Edinburgh beautiful scenery and quite. One of my favourite parts of the uk . TRy also Northwest of Scotland , Hills and lochs of that region spectular countryside and(far from the Maddening crowd).
Ok sir,
you absolutely have to go to Alton Towers! That is one place I make sure I go everytime I am in the UK! It's one of the world's best theme park! Their roller coasters are so cool! Ok, now that I got that important message out, here are some of my favorite places/ or places I enjoyed visiting.
1. Durham
2. Wales (in particulr a small town called Betys-coed)-- we also saw some copper mines as well at Sygun...cool stuff! Castles were also impressive!
3. Bournemouth (day trip is sufficient)
4. The various museums in Central London! Amazing stuff.
Other places I could mention like Blackpool are nice, but not SO nice you stay the night there.
Mansur
HM - jzk for your recommendations. I've been to most of the places you visited. I loved the Lakes. And also Edinburgh.
Mansur - i've already been Alton Towers - i remember my mum going on some crazy ride which i was too scared to go on - haha.
Anyone been to Devon/Cornwall? They make some nice creamy cheese there
I have been to both Devon and Cornwall Pretty places especially Dartmoor, I would avoid Lands End,
Exeter is nice for a stop , Dorset is also very pleasant.
