Borders in the Muslim world: mere lines in the sand
12th February 2008
Lines in Middle Eastern sand, drawn by civil servants in Whitehall, can not wipe out Islam’s Golden Age. People who talk about uniting the Muslim Ummah are often derided as ideologues; impractical and unrealistic. However, all it took was a few sticks of dynamite to remove the ramshackle physical barrier – officially known as the border - between Palestinian Gaza and Egypt.

Akmal Asghar
13th February 2007
Scrutiny of the Muslim community, these days, is unrelenting.
