An influential British Muslim think tank has called on Muslims and non Muslims to mark President George Bush's state visit to the UK with a day of fasting.
The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) has called for 20 November to be a day of fasting for Muslims and non Muslims to show solidarity with people around the world who have been a victim of American foreign policy." ------------------------------------------------------------------ A good fast to clear the mind...I'm going to join them.
2. JUst think what an economic statement this would make..
No one goes to McDonalds, no restaurants, even school kids stay away from cafeterias. What a global statement! Better than a peace march because you don't have to take off from work to participate.
