BRITISH occupied India from the Muslims. Although the Indian public, including Hindus, resisted British power initially, a special interest group of high-class Hindus with the support of the British Raj emerged.

Western orientalists and new Hindu revivalists had been rampantly attacking Islam, its culture, religious practices, and its respected personalities.
MUSLIMS have requested that blasphemy (ridiculing, insulting, disgracing) against Prophet Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, Abraham, and other Messengers of Godï·º be made a punishable crime, felony.

 Muhammad Abd al-Hameed THE 18th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan (passed in 2010) entrusted curriculum and syllabi and preparation and publication of textbooks entirely to the Textbook Boards of the provinces. Shall we suffer the same consequences in our provinces as occurred in East Pakistan in 1960’s?
We initiated your creation, then We gave you each a shape, and then We said to the angels: 'Prostrate before Adam.') . They all prostrated except Iblis: he was not one of those who fell Prostrate. (Al-Quran 7:11) These verses should he read in conjunction with (al-Baqarah 2: 30-9). The words in which the command to prostrate before Adam is mentioned may give rise to the misapprehension that it was Adam as such who is the object of prostration.
THE misunderstanding has always been common among the ignorant people of every age that a human being could not be a Messenger of Allah. They rejected a Messenger just because he was a human being and took his meals and had wife and children like themselves. In contrast to this, after the passage of the time the credulous followers of a Messenger began to claim that he was not a human being at all because he was a Messenger.
Syed Jawed Anwar In 2015 parents' campaign against radical sex-ed curriculum when these Imams came under fierce criticism, they issued a statement on sex-ed curriculum in which they tried to satisfy both government and the community.

A Gay Bible is now available for those who feel the need to have their gay lifestyle justified by Scriptures. Verses condemning homosexuality are now re-written gay friendly scripture. Similarly, things are changing so fast in the “Islamic†leadership that it is not beyond the comprehension that gay-friendly “shariah†might be developed soon.
Syed Jawed Anwar I was shocked when I heard the news that Tanya Granic Allen (a prominent activist against sex-ed curriculum and a candidate for last PC leadership race) was removed as Ontario PC party candidate by Doug Ford during June 2018 election campaign.
Imam Yusuf Badat of Islamic Foundation Masjid, Nugget, Scarborough, Toronto, decreed a fatwa on Pink Day (February 28) justifying and encouraging Muslims to wear pink shirts that day; however, he himself didn’t show up in the Masjid in pink on Pink Day.

Syed Jawed Anwar ONTARIO Liberal Party under Kathleen Wynne’s leadership has been defeated badly in June 2018 Ontario Legislative Assembly election. She grabbed only seven out of 124 seats of the assembly. Progressive Conservative (PC) got 76 seats and formed majority government. She resigned from the party leadership, and this is the end of her era. Wynne’s political activism starts when she changed her lifestyle.
By Syed Abul A'ala Maududi WE Muslims call Prophet Muhammadï·º Sarwar-e-Alam, which means Ù€ "Leader of the World." In Urdu it is “Duniya ka Sardarâ€. In Hindi it's “Jagat Guruâ€.
