Turkish PM Erdogan Questions Why Muslim Nation Has Never Hosted Olympic Games

The outstanding PM of Turkey Recep Tayipp Erdogan has questioned why a Majority Muslim nation has never hosted the Summer Olympic Games.

LM as my regular readers will know pointed out years ago how London 2012 was hijacked by the Israelites in part to further their miserable campaign to get the massacre of Munich remembered via a minutes silence during 2012. LM would be the first to remember the assassination on one condition that Israelites remember the Naqba and wiping Palestine off the map.

Banker Paul Deighton of Goldman Sachs the Israelite CEO of 2012 and close friend of Israeli IOC member Alex Gilady along with Keith Mills have been major supporters of Israel's cause within 2012 but fortunately Jacques Rogge got rid of them in the same manner we get rid of excrement under our shoe.

Returning to Erdogan's point about why no Muslim nation has ever hosted a Summer Games the issue he flags up is valid and serious which is no surprise for someone who LM has dubbed leader of the Muslim World along with his fantastic wife Emine. While the Muslim world are happy to focus on internal strife it is not only politics that is run via the Israel lobby but also Sport. Whoever it was that said Sport and Politics never mix what utter nonsense. Why do you think America's NBC snubbed Muslim Akram Khan's 7/7 performance during the opening ceremony.

Take a look at the treatment of Mohammad Bin Hamman or the way the Hijab has been used as a weapon to keep Muslim women out of Sport. When LM highlighted the treatment of Muslims in the UK football Premiership or how my local football club QPR behave in a racist manner despite Muslim investment it is to inculcate how Sport and politics do mix.

While the FA's Jewish David Bernstein helps the England team rightly visit the Gas chambers in Auschwitz one wonders his reaction to a similar request to visit Srebrenica where Muslims were massacred on an industrial scale. What does Bernstein, who followed another Jewish chairman of the FA Lord Triesman, understand about sport apart from ensuring he takes a leading role politically in the nations sport of football. In fact, as I've regularly highlighted while it is increasingly Muslims who excel in sport Israelites have hijacked the administration of Sport to counter our growing Muslim excellence in sports across the world.

Muslims as I have been trying to highlight when in Qatar need like Turkey's PM to understand we have allowed the Israelites to not only dictate Politics but Sport also which is why its high time we returned to the field of play not on the pitch but in the new corridors of power ie hotel lobby's around the world where real networking takes place. Alex Gilady has for years been strutting around London as if he owned London 2012 which is why Israel's interests are embedded on the lips of virtually every politician and journalist but hardly a word about our Muslim requirements like the need to wear the hijab or halal in the Olympic village.

Qatar 2022 was the first real boost for Muslim power and influence in Sport the next has to be Muslim unity to ensure Turkey win its bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics in Istanbul. How pathetic that other bidding cities like Tokyo and Madrid have already hosted the Games yet because of our own incompetence and division we Muslims have yet to host our first Olympics.

QPR's Malaysian Muslim Director Kamaruddin Invites Muslim Players To House For Ramadan

Great to see QPR's Muslim Director Kamaruddin invite three of our fabulous Muslim players Samba Diakite, Adel Tarrabt & Armand Traroe to his home for Ramadan.

The Players were in Malaysia on QPR's tour of Asia which will also take in Muslim Indonesia. However, have to say think Din should have invited all players to his home for Iftar.

Sadly while QPR's Director takes the lead on Diversity the likes of CEO Phillip Beard and Andy Evans from the Community Trust refuse to undertake any acknowledgement of Ramadan for local Muslims in West London as LM has previously highlighted.

LM's hope is the likes of Tony Fernandes and Kamaruddin answer one question, why should QPR employ two Chaplains "who serve the unseen needs of supporters" in Bob Mayo & Cameron Collington but no other faith appears to have representation so embedded within QPR and its Community Work?

Food Nutrition Advice During Ramadan

Further to my previous article about using Science to sight the new Moon its only a few days inshallah until Ramadan starts so the need for healthy Nutrition is vital. Take a look at the different range of food Muslims from around the world will eat during Ramadan.

Ramadan in London during Summer is going to be a challenge so it goes without saying the importance of maintaining good nutrition especially with some initial fasts lasting up to 18 Hours. The following two articles here and here both written by non Muslim experts in the field of Nutrition certainly gave LM food for thought and in my opinion need to be carefully understood and followed.

While understandably the focus during the blessed month of Ramadan is religious one cannot also underestimate the importance of our health particularly if for exempt you are diabetic and need to maintain your blood sugar levels. For those Diabetics who do not need to Fast as you are exempted on health grounds but will nevertheless go ahead for the sake of pleasing Allah SWT then please do read and follow the excellent advice by Diabetics UK.

With regard to Nutrition, LM found the above articles invaluable particularly the need to eat carbohydrates because they are digested slowly and remain in the body for longer so lots of brown granary bread and oat breakfasts. In addition, maintaining hydration is also vital so about 3 litres of Water but do try and avoid the Tea & Coffee due to the Caffeine.

When is Ramadan 2012 (Friday 20 July?)

According to this impressive scientific website Ramadan 2012 is due to start on Friday 20 July inshallah. The Fiqh Council of North America are respected scholars who use scientific calculations to determine July's new Moon.

However, therein lies the proverbial difficulty with we Muslims because sadly the Fiqh Council website uses the dreaded words Science and astronomy which frankly old fashioned Muslims don't understand. As a result, rather than acknowledging the wonders of Science & Algebra Muslims gave the world sadly we now have to rely on some old Brother in Saudi or Pakistan verifying for himself with the naked eye sighting of a new moon before Ramadan is officially confirmed.

Still in doubt, well how about a science lesson on the validity of Astronomy in determining moon sighting. What is it with our Ulema who seem so bereft of intelligence and understanding about the basic concept of Science which enables us now to verify and establish the dates of Ramadan up to and including 2020.

QPR Travel to Muslim Malaysia And Indonesia

QPR as my loyal readers will know is LM's passion and currently the team have embarked on a pre season tour of the Far East in Muslim Indonesia and Malaysia.

Despite supporting QPR as a kid and welcoming new investment from Malaysian Chairman of Air Asia Tony Fernandes sadly QPR's traditional contemptuous treatment of our local diverse population remains unchanged which prompted my memo to Chairman Tony Fernandes last year.

West London has had many changes over the years like other parts of London, where first the vast council estates of White City and Shepherds Bush were populated by the Irish then West Indians and now the Muslim community. However, one constant has remained and that is how QPR first with West Indians and now the Muslim community have literally pushed away the goodwill as well as positive sentiment of ethnic minorities who are willing to engage with their local football club.

Recently QPR in the guise of their CEO Philip Beard was sent an innocuous request to consider holding a Iftar Event during Ramadan for not only the Muslim population on their doorsteps but also their own Muslim footballers who LM has also mentioned. Given that QPR is funded by huge investment from Muslim Malaysia and has a Muslim Director on it's Board in Kamruddin one would have thought they should have embraced the idea. However, sadly the request was rejected with the most ironic of responses stating that QPR would be "observing" Ramadan while in the Far East being entertained by Muslim hosts. In other words they can travel 10,000 miles to observe Ramadan but not 10 minutes to embrace their Muslim neighbours. Is it any wonder that on match days you will hardly see a non white face on the terraces.

Racism in its direct form is often understandably seen through the lens of monkey chants banana throwing or anti Semitic hissing at Jewish supporters while the recent John Terry-Anton Ferdiand saga has also highlighted the nasty residual racist aspect by some within the game. However, racism in its subtle indirect form is also prevalent in the game and used to great affect. Take a look at the lack of Black football managers when Black players have excelled or the lack of Black Administrators within the FA or Premier League. White men in suits pervade the upper echelons of the game to the detriment of women and Ethnic Minorities which is why you still get crass moments of Sky TV handing alcholol "prizes" to Muslim footballers.

Little has changed since LM's first post on Muslim Footballers in the League back in 2009 when I first highlighted the growing dominance of Muslim players on the pitch while off the pitch little genuine effort is made to embrace or welcome Muslims into the family of football. The one change LM has highlighted is the continuing dominance of outstanding Muslim footballers despite a virtual news blackout on the topic of brilliant Muslim footballers. In addition, get ready for another Muslim inspired football revolution at Nottingham Forest following the Kuwaiti Muslim Fawaz Al Hassawi takeover.

In order to be fair and balanced there have been the odd occasion when those within the game have shown a sympathetic understanding towards the customs and requirements of Muslim football players. Most notable has been Alan Pardew Newcastle's Manager who stated his desire to build a prayer room for his outstanding Muslim footballers. Neil Warnock when he managed QPR showed fantastic understanding of Adel Tarrabt's requirements during Ramadan.. However these important steps have sadly been the exception rather than the norm.

At QPR we have fantastic diversity in the boardroom from Tony Fernandes, Amit Bhattia and kamruddin however, given their travelling demands they mistakenly leave the operational day to day running of the club in the hands of typical white men in suits like CEO Phillip Beard. Man City are the model QPR should follow Muslim owner Sheikh Mansour who appoints a Muslim chairman Khaldoon Mubarak with great Muslim players following huge Muslim investment and ultimately the Premier League title.

Saudi Princess Sara Bint Talal Al Saud Seeking Asylum In UK

Saudi Arabia's Princess Sara Bint Talal bin AbdulAziz Al Saud the Niece of Saudi King Abdullah is claiming political asylum in the UK.

Apparently when outlining her plight to the Torygraph she told them she was living in fear and her assets had been frozen after accusations she was working against the regime for Iran. Princess Sara who is a divorced mother of four says she is seeking asylum because her family are facing persecution in Saudi. According to the Mail she was assaulted persecuted and threatened. LM is not the brightest colour in the box however, if a niece to the King of Saudi faces persecution in the land of the Two Holy Mosques then what hope for the rest of us lesser mortals.

Saudi Princess's do seem to be having an interesting time of it at the moment. How can one forget the legend aka Princess Maha Al Sudairi and her difficulty over paying hotel expenses in Paris or how about the even stranger case of another Princess Sara this time Sara Al Amoudi whose interesting racy love life involved having a Swedish male model as a lover and beating up her chauffeur.

Clearly a rather troubled time in the House of Saud which seems to be in a bit of turmoil when it comes to the behaviour of the Princess's. However, and in order to ensure a fair and balanced coverage of the Sisters within the House of Saud, LM has already highlighted the exemplary behaviour of Princess Basma Bint Saud who courageously is calling for reform within Saudi.

**Update** Princess Sara outlines Plans to establish a Saudi Opposition Party.
