A new window on to Muslim London's journey

While the capital is home to an estimated 40 per cent of the UK's Muslim population, there are still many mysteries surrounding the faith that I follow. For I was born and raised a London Muslim.

I attended mosques and madrassas in Tooting and Balham, adding to the knowledge of Islam taught me by my family. From a young age we learned the importance of the five pillars of Islam; faith, prayer, charity, fasting - and Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a journey every Muslim must try to make in their lifetime. So I was delighted to visit the British Museum's Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam.

Don't let Europhobia undermine human rights

It has long been a hobby horse of the Conservative Right but in the furores such as the one over votes for prisoners, the Human Rights Act and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) have become targets for ministers too. Anyone concerned about our rights should find that deeply worrying.
