Asalaam alaikum warahmatullah wa barakatuh and welcome to Islamophonic – putting the ha! into jihad.
It's an end of year show so we're looking back at the lows and lows of 2009 – it's never good news with Muslims – including bans, anniversaries, takeovers and the obligatory Guardian segment on Barack Obama.
Helping me hack my way through the headlines is the never knowingly undersold David Shariatmadari from Cif belief and the expect more pay less Zahed Amanullah from altmuslim.com
Enjoy listening to the show and do leave your comments BTL (that's not a sandwich, it's "below the line".)
