Thanks for the comments. I will take on board what has been said.
I have no problem with running things past an alim/shaykh and, insha-Allah, as time goes by I will do this more and more.
Also, apologies for the links to violent videos and perhaps inappropriate pictures - point taken.
I am new to the blogging world...the aim of the blog is (always in a halal context) to not just blog about things I find interesting, but to also try and present Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, in a gentle non-preachy way. There are quite a few non-Muslims at my work who read my blog posts, so I don't want to make it too Islamic so as to alienate them.
At the same time I don't want to alienate Muslims like yourselves, so points duly noted and I will insha-Allah try to be more careful about what I blog about in future. I do find it hard to blog about things that Muslims and non-Muslims both will enjoy reading, and find thought provoking...
