Dear Brother
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
I am writing to inform you about some exciting new developments within Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya UK.
The Art of Misinformation
Alhamdulillah, the popular blog ''theartofmisinformation'' has now become a site run by Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya UK. For those not familiar with the site, it contains a wealth of information about common allegations historically raised against Islam and the more recent allegations leveled against the Jama'at. In addition to refuting allegations, the blog hosts a wealth of learning resources such as:
- More than 40 years of open access Review of Religions publications, many of which are indexed;
- Fully indexed and open access Muslim Sunrise editions from 1921 to the present day;
- Articles on a various subjects and personalities relating to early and medieval Islam; and
- A selection of rare Ahmadi footage and photographs.
The blog also offers an opportunity for visitors to comment on the subjects raise and add to the wider discussion and knowledge base.
Despite being run by MKA UK, the blog is not limited to the Khuddam audience and so all members of the Jama'at are free to visit and contribute towards the site however they feel appropriate. Please visit the blog regularly, subscribe to it, follow it if you are on Twitter, and contribute towards the various discussions that take place.

Muslims for Humanity
Alhamdulillah, It is with pleasure that we are also able to announce the launch of a new website called ''Muslims For Humanity.'' The principle purpose of this site is to showcase some of the ongoing work that MKA UK has been carrying out across the country to support our local, regional, national and international communities. The site will also highlight topical news items and general issues as and when they arise.
Please visit the site, subscribe, follow it if you are on Twitter and feel free to circulate it amongst your friends and colleagues. The site also offers a comment facility in which anyone can comment and discuss the stories highlighted. Members of the Majlis are encouraged to comment and contribute towards the site.

Twitter
Alhamdulillah, MKA UK has been running a national Twitter account for a few months now. Please follow us @MKA_UK if you are on Twitter or choose to join. In addition to the main MKA UK account, there are a number of other accounts which have been launched that may be of relevance to you. These are as follows:
- Sadr MKA UK: @SadrMKAUK
- National Sports Account: @MKA_UK_Sports

It is our hope that you each benefit from these new resources. As an initial step, we would like to request each of you to subscribe to both of the above mentioned blogs and follow, if you are on Twitter, whichever of the above accounts relates to you.
If you are a Regional Qaid or Nazim / Secretary Ishaat and want to set up a twitter account, please contact me for further information and information: adam.walker@khuddam.org.uk.
Notes for Khuddam
The blogs and Twitter are not social platforms and only in place as an alternative means for both efficiently disseminating information to the entire Majlis and providing an additional tool for online education and constructive discussion. Please continue to keep in mind the general instructions of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih (abta) regarding online activities and the specific Jama'at guidelines relating to online social networking sites which can be viewed here: www.alislam.org/egazette/faq/facebook-policy/
For those not familiar with Twitter, it is an efficient means of communication which allows users to send messages to their followers which are limited to 140 characters. Setting up an account could not be easier and can be done in a minute or two by following the simple instructions found at: www.twitter.com/signup.
Most importantly, the intention behind all such initiatives is that they should benefit each of us. Please pray that they meet this noble intention and always feel free to share your constructive thoughts and feedback on each of them. Please also feel free to get in touch if you want to contribute to any of these initiatives.
May Allah the Exalted bless you.
Your servant in Islam,
Adam Walker
