Wrt newhams issues bhai im gonna have to agree to disagree. its an issue which imho isnt quite easily explained as black and white. the recent candidates that stood off the back of the 'markaz issue' were just imho not up to being counsellors

Agreed. Mufti Sadrudeen should stick to teaching quraan and hadeeth and his hardcore zikr and leave the field for others

As far as I'm aware initially the appropriate avenues for the Markaz were never taken, meaning planning permissions etc...which set off on the wrong footing with the council.

And one of the local meetings where they had celebrity like reverts both male and female, I saw footage of local ulama involved with Markaz.... shaking hands and sitting side be side with them, open for public meeting for support and discussion. With newspapers and local reporters present.

Many brothers walked in and walked straight out...but many stayed on. Very disappointing.....just a laypersons opinion.

Mufti sab im sure has got some political acumen which easily comes across from some of his talks (which are brilliant) ...though when you're running for counsellor during your 4 years terms you'll have to get (sincerely) involved with all types of issues that locals feel strongly about be it: improving local schools, helping protect frontline local public services, making the area more 'green', dealing with local anti-social stuff, keep Ms Marple's elderly luncheon club going, sitting on various council committees, increase/protect funding to those projects that helps the most depraved and vulnerable in the area, etc etc.....

I could imagine the perceptive in the local electorates minds if after loosing a local election such candidates or parties such as NPA started actively physically, verbally, by the pen etc getting involved in bettering the local area for most/all and rolling sleeves up and jus getting stuck in .... By the next local elections May 2018, Ms Marple (aged 87) and her crew, Harjeet the guy who's son you helped secure SEN funding for, Summayah whos family you helped by curbing/dealing with anti-social behaviour outside her house so now she and her family feels safe (especially when her kids come and go from school and madrasah), Mr and Mrs Middle-Income who you helped secure a small unused patch of grass for their Growing Communities local fruit and veg project etc will come knocking on your door begging you to stand...and if you say no...they'll drag you out the house by your hair and march you to the town hall with a gun in your head demanding you stand to be their representative.

mufti saab's sincerity is not in question. In politics such things are done though if he did do what you said I find it extremely problematic praising both of those individuals. The issue is that mufti saab does not seem to be the best person for such a task. Also since mufti saab has an extra ordinary capability in quraan and hadeeth he should focus on teaching.
