Techie delusions and weirdness from MCB spokesman

I had a bit of difficulty getting to sleep last night, so i switched on the the TV and came across this audition on American Pop Idol. I've seen the UK version before and remember that guys from IT backgrounds suffer from delusions about how great their singing ability is, but this guy was in a league of his own.



I've come across a weird article by Inayat Bunglawala, the MCB spokesman, and Abdur-Rahman Jafar, who ran as a mayoral candidate in my borough for the Respect party. In the article they're arguing that Muslims should support gays in their fight against discrimination because it is the twin half of making discrimination against Muslims and other faith groups unlawful.

Yep, like i said, a bit weird.

Inayat has a habit of saying things from time to time which make me - as a Muslim - feel very uncomfortable, for instance his encouragement for Muslims to join the British army and his call for us to respect the sacrifice of Lieutenant Corporal Hashmi, the 'Muslim' soldier who died fighting in Afghanistan. What?! The guy was a traitor to the Muslims. Does Inayat believe that the British would respect the choice of a white British convert to Islam to join the Iraqi insurgency and fight the British army?

No wonder so many Muslims deny that the MCB represent their voice and the voice of the Muslims in this country.
