DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Sarah Ismail

In this week of religious festivals, today’s roundup has a slightly religious theme. I’ve never liked tricks much, so I hope you will consider it a treat. Happy Halloween! And, of course, belated Divali wishes to anyone who celebrated!

1820 – A two minute video clip for one of this week’s Friday Fun links.

Chicken Yoghurt – The public resigns over Brandgate. I couldn’t choose between them, so this week you get two Friday Fun links.

Harry’s Place – David T doesn’t trust the government on Islamism.

Indigo Jo – The Message, a film about the arrival of Islam, is being remade.

Manjula Sood/New Statesman – On the meanings of Divali.

Rahila Gupta/CiF – Wonders whether a film can lead to positive changes in India’s religious divides.

The Langar Hall – A voting guide for Sikh Americans.

Tory Troll – Adam has a question for our old friend Andrew Gilligan: are you being a very naughty sockpuppet?
