I swing one way and then the other, backwards and forwards eternally, from one extreme to another, backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards.

We prefer not to think about the 91,000 looked after children in our...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Salamutations, Can I humbly request that the term &#8220;gora/gori&#8221; is not used interchangeably for &#8220;non-Muslim&#8221;. I do appreciate it&#8217;s not used maliciously and has just become a convenient short-hand, but I think it&#8217;s important that we raise our children to appreciate that Islam is for everyone regardless of their ethnic, cultural or social background. I&#8217;m...]]></description>
