Britain's Pakistani community, of which the four suspected London suicide bombers were members, is one of the country's largest and also most economically deprived ethnic groups. Around 675,000 people of Pakistani origin live in Britain, more than half of the country's South Asian-origin population. The first generation of immigrants arrived from the 1950s, mainly to take manual jobs in the

It's true, there arn't many Islamic humor sites online. But then today I stumbled upon Muslimswakeup.com that left me thoruougly impressed with their light-hearted and well-written literature. One section that, not so surprisingly, had me very amused was the 'Sex and Ulema' section. Here fiction mixes with religion treading narrowly on the path of blasphemy-but it's very entertaining
