I’ve been thinking over the last few months as we ran upto the day that England would become smoking-free in public enclosed spaces that this would probably be the most momentous day of my grown-up life, the one thing from this dunya that would actually make a real difference in the quality of our lives, and the lives of our children.

As a health-professional who has a vested interest in getting people to stop smoking, despite the fact that I hold the one who does it not to be committing haram but rather a despised, detested makruh act instead (the minority position), the health and social benefits of the ban are undoubted. Hey, this could be the first step insha’Allah in banning smoking for ever!

But instead of focusing on the smoking ban this great day, the headlines have been stolen by smoking cars, smoking terminals and smoking men - literally. What an utter and complete disaster wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

The mind would boggle except that we know that there are Muslims in our communities who have become absolutely oblivious to common sense, religious guidance, and divine warning. What else can we possibly do with them? These brothers and sisters, indeed fellow citizens in the main, have lost total control of their senses and religious priorities and seem intent…no, in fact they are intent on absolutely obliterating the Muslim community here in the UK, and no doubt “the West.”

Whilst watching the BBC last night with a Scottish worker describing the actions of one of the terrorists as, “…he clambered out of the car in flames throwing punches all over the place shouting out ‘Alla! Alla! Alla!’ whilst people were trying to help him put out the flames! It was then we realised…” I thought to myself just how many millions of people in this country must think that the word “Allah” is just some huge, sick joke.

Does it even matter whether this is accurate or not? Have no doubt that if it isn’t, there’d be plenty more maniacs to take the terrorist’s place as this is the mindset of those Muslims who have been smoking for far too long and have entered their own cloud-cuckoo-land which they call “Jihad”.

This has clearly gone beyond the madness of the Conspiracy theorists (of the other group of mad-cap Muslims we ‘enjoy’ in our community) dedicated to blaming everything on someone else. This is serious. The Community is in serious danger now from these terrorist lunatics and just how long will the Muslims expect the patience of our fellow non-Muslim citizens to hold? If you don’t like that statement, then you put yourself in the position of a nation that has another religious minority group that it is protecting whilst they launch all sorts of terror attacks on the sovereign state - how long would you hold back for, fearing for the safety of your family? How would you expect the intelligence and security services to respond?

These are difficult times. I advise all those reading this with such sick terror plans and intentions to fear Allah and remember that they will be held accoutable for their actions, even if they might get away with it in this life - smoking in the UK might have stopped for now, but soon it could be our entire community that’ll be going up in flames. And flames in the next life will await those who lit the flames here in the first place.
