Ice and Islam (sorry, I just love alliteration!)

The final of ‘Dancing on Ice’ aired this Saturday. We watched with anticipation as the finalists flew high above the ice, disregarding the title of ‘Dancing on ice’ (but no one else seemed to notice that). I wasn’t particularly bothered about who should win (so am not sure why I’m writing a blog entry on this), since my favourites were voted out weeks ago (probably because I didn’t waste 50p on voting for them). The Arran St girls decided it would be funny to send us a phone message 10 seconds before the winner was announced, but luckily it arrived too late (may still be a cause for revenge though).

This week is ‘Islamic Awareness Week’ and today I was given a booklet explaining the Muslim faith which made an interesting read. Muslims claim that Jesus was a prophet, sent by God, but they believe that virtually nothing he said was true, or was inaccurately translated. They also believe that Jesus didn’t die, but that someone who looked remarkably like him took his place. For some reason, I’m not convinced. They also gave me a bookmark with ‘Islamic Awareness Week’ written on it, which is great because I really need a new bookmark for my bible.
