List of Britain's most powerful Muslims for 2010 (OP)
Muslim Power List 2010 now published. This is from 30th April 2010, so some of it might be out of date now. This is from the website www.muslimpowerlist.com and there are lots I can agree with but a few on there I don't think should be there at all. Have a look. What do you think? A lot of important people are missing I think.

Those guys are giving Islam and muslims a bad name. Non of those people are representing Islam or the shariah - including the politicain.
peace
Do you think the pious don't sin?
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim

How can they preach Islam and use such disgraceful disgusting language =/
Just shows how uneducated and pathetic they are, and she is a Muslim, would they be okay with someone saying that to their sister? Despicable!
I agree. Completely ridiculous. If it was a member of the BNP, I would understand. As it stands, she is a fellow Muslim.
Supreme you ain't a Muslim so don't argue with me with Islamic beliefs alright!
We're not arguing about Islamic beliefs. You seem to be under the illusion that someone who you've never met and know nothing about is not who she says she is. I am simply pointing out that it is not your right to judge others when you do not know them. You do not know what she believes, although seeing as Islam isn't exactly popular in this country and the Muslim vote isn't her aim, I don't think she's likely to be lying about it.
Your just defending her cause she is doing good for your people and she is not practsing Islam correctly and i bet you love to see that don't you?
My point exactly. How do you know and how can judge whether she's practising Islam correctly??!! You don't know her!!
You just want the downfall of Islam but guess what it won't happen so you might as well give up!
Well this is just silly. If I wanted the downfall of Islam, or something ridiculous along those lines, wouldn't I support you slagging off and insulting one of your fellow Muslims? Think about it.

I think you misunderstood me, Iam not slagging her off im just stating a fact. afcurs u won't slag her off cause she is doing a good thing in your eyes. also i know she is not practsing Islam by just looking at her, u do know there's a big difference between Islam and christianity and modesty is one of them.

I'm sorry, but how is claiming someone who don't know isn't a Muslim when they claim to be not slagging them off? She's not doing anything but existing in government in my eyes, she hasn't done anything yet that's worth me thinking that she's good or bad- she hasn't been in office long enough. I don't know about you, but I don't think it's right to judge someone by their outwards appearances. How someone looks like on the outside is not important- getting to know someone and their personality is more important. Also, both Christianity and Islam preach modesty.

Iam not talking about her situation of being in the government Iam just talking about the way she represents her self. I mean a Muslim woman has to cover her self and that is one thing she is not doing, I mean maybe she might be a good muslim she might pray five times a day or she does other things that are considered good but if a person does not have modesty then they are unlikely to do other things that are told for them to do. Also Christianity and Islam have different type of modesty, do your woman have to cover their hair, and cover themselfs from arms to legs? (christian woman are half naked in reality) Islam is more stricter than Christianity bare that in mind. Hope I never offended you and i don't mean to sound negative towards you. But in our eyes what that lady is doing is wrong so in your presective she ain't doing nothing bad but for our prespective she is in the wrong . Hope you understand now

Lets leave it there brother, we aren't anyone to judge other muslims

Afcourse we can't judge others as we have to think of our own situation...Allah (swt) is the Judge.
But this Kuffar is over-reacting the only thing I said is what that lady is doing is wrong, he has no right to tell me of my own religion beliefs bloody hell!!!!

I never mentioned any Islamic belief, did I? I simply pointed out the stupidity of your statement when you said she wasn't a real Muslim! You need to get your facts right before you go shooting your mouth off.
