Aaargh - pleeeeease let us use our furqan & not fall for the psychological fallacy of either Muslim or Western.
Islam is a Deen, & Western relates to geography. Since the whole world is one halal for us, one can logically be BOTH Muslim & Western, as many reverts & immigrant-descended communities are. It is as facile as saying at the time of Muslims in Madinah, saying either Muslim or Makkan.
But I take the underlying point about "Muslim" (meaning one whose faith & external actions reflect obedience) compared to the oxymoronic jahil "Muslim-origin" behaviour.
London Muslim with a left of center political agenda but dont let that put you off.
I write about issues the mainstream Murdoch agenda ignores and more than happy to also take on the tiny minority of vociferous fruitcakes in my own community.
In addition I'm a long suffering supporter of QPR. So, a Muslim with a sense of humour
..shes muslim?...i thought as much but shes abit western...*hmmm*...
