Medina in Birmingham, Najaf in Brent
Muslim intellectuals may try to define something called British Islam, but the truth is that as the Muslim community of Britain has grown in size and religiosity, so too has the opportunity to found and run mosques which divide along ethnic and sectarian lines. Just as most churches in Britain are affiliated to one of the main Christian denominations, the vast majority of Britain's 1600 mosques are linked to wider sectarian networks: the Deobandi and Tablighi Jamaat movements with their origins in colonial India; the Salafi groups inspired by an austere form of Islam widely practiced in Saudi Arabia; the Islamist movements with links to religious political parties in the Middle East and Sout...

New Insights into High-Energy Processes on the Sun and Their Geospace Consequences
The Sun releases an enormous amount of energy during explosive solar activities, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. The solar corona can be heated up to tens of millions of degrees and a large number of charged particles can be accelerated to nearly the speed of light. Heated plasmas and high-energy particles increase solar radiations across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to gamma-ray wavelengths, which can have a profound effect on the Earth’s upper atmosphere immediately after about eight minutes. These create additional ionization and heating in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, leading to radio blackout, GNSS signal interferences and tracking loss, increased drag on spacecraft, etc. Recent studies have demonstrated that the effects can extend to the Earth’s magnetosphere via electrodynamic coupling. When the high-energy particles propagate through the interplanetary medium and arrive at the vicinity of the Earth, known as solar energetic particle (SEP) events, they can pose hazardous radiation threats to astronauts and spacecraft electronics in space.
