event took place in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, on Thursday: The
ceremonial release of the 4th edition of the Sinhala translation of the
Holy Qur’an.
Part 2 of 2 In this two-part series, Islam Online takes a look at the town of Bradford, England, which has come to be known as the country’s “mini-Pakistan.” While postwar Britain was conscious of a change in its social fabric due to immigration, there was little public interest in the ethnic shades and varieties arriving in towns and cities across the country.
