Q-News in the

Q-News, Issue 361
March 2005
It’s a lonely job being Britain’s
only really independent Muslim publication. So - Alhamdulillah - it’s
nice to get noticed once in a while. The press industry’s leading
weekly trade paper The Press Gazette last month carried a feature
interview with our Managing Editor Fareena Alam who talked, among other
things, about the time that, “One of the imams from up north called and
said ‘the downfall of Q-News will be brought about by the women you
have placed in leadership positions,’ Fuad Nahdi said to him: ‘If you
can find me 200 bearded smelly men like you who can manage to do the
job these two women do then I would accept your point!’”
Sonia Malik’s brave piece on the secret lives of Muslim women on
Britain’s university campuses (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Q-News, Issue
360) has been syndicated to The Guardian, printed on 28 February, and
created waves from the BBC Asian network to as far away as Italy. |
