Just when I thought I would have some time to get back to all of my blogging, the day for departure has arrived. I have read your comments and I thank you for your well wishes and duas. I would like to thank IJTEMA for posting my last entry on their blog. I hope to pick up this subject later as I keep running into Muslims who want to talk more about the arts in our community and how we can use them as a tool for dawah and social justice.
I would also like to send salaamz and duas to Brother Tariq and Brother Umar. May Allah ta’ala reward you both for standing up to the lies and deception. You are both the victims of a classic corporate media tactic. If and when reporting on Muslims, you can’t find something controversial or illegal, simply make it up! May God strengthen your communities and all the maligned members justice.
I know I have been out of the loop but many duas for you all. I may have access in Paris but if not, I’ll be back on Tuesday. Insha’Allah, my blog won’t be filled with spam entries saying, “Cool, interesting, fantastic.” Who are these people. I wish I could meet some British Muslim bloggers out there in Europe but if I hop on the Chunnel, I’ll let someone know.
Here’s to a safe trip and boat load of pictures, insha’Allah. :-)

On behalf of Ijtema, you’re welcome.
I spent 5 weeks in France last year, and loved it masha-Allah. Paris is a beautiful city. May Allah put barakah in your trip and continue to shower you with His blessings insha-Allah.

Asalaamu Aleikum! Ca va bien? Wow Paris - I was until recently in Brussel/Bruxelles (only one hour and half by high speed train) but am now stateside to visit dear old dad - pa kettle. Will we ever meet? Don’t miss the grand Masjid of Paris or the Centre du Monde de la Arabe - but of course you knew that already! Maybe Mali… Bonjour Trieste etc.
