AN Islamic radio station will be launched to coincide with the religious festival of Ramadan.

Radio Ramadan will be broadcast 24 hours a day across Edinburgh during the month-long period of worship and abstinence, from October 4.

The station will air discussions about issues affecting Muslims, such as the status of women in Islam, the wearing of the hijab headscarf and racist attacks in the Capital which have taken place since the London bombings.

Bosses have invited Colin Fox MSP, Nigel Griffiths MP and the controversial Bethnal Green politician George Galloway, who is popular within the Muslim community for his support of Palestinians in Israel and his stance on the Iraq war.

Intelligence "experts" are worried about a massive world wide terrorist attack over Ramadan. They could take place in the US, Europe, Australia, and in Israel

Galloway's second wife of 6 years (now divorced) is a Palestinian Muslim. Makes me wonder if Galloway is also a closet Muslim.

Ah, if only all MudIsSlimes were closet MudIsSlimes especially if the closet were 100% air tight.

Will "Radio Christianity" be launched to broadcast news of interest to Christians 24 hours a day over the Christmas season?
