I like Lajos' idea best. Maybe we should involve the muslim brotherhood?


And there is no animal in the earth, nor a bird that flies on its two wings, but (they are) communities like yourselves. — Holy Quran, chapter 6, verse 38.

This verse indicates that there are two types of people. One, which like ants clings to the ground, and whose sight never rises above the world. The other type of people are those whose purpose in life is not this world, but the attainment to God.


Do they not see the birds above them spreading and contracting (their wings)? Naught upholds them save the Beneficent. Surely He is Seer of all things.  Holy Quran, chapter 67, verse 19.

In this verse man's attention is drawn to the Birds  for as long as the birds spread out (i.e., make use of) their wings they continue to soar, but as soon as they contract (stop using) their wings they fall downwards. In the same way, as long as one makes use of his intelligence and the divine revelation, then both material and spiritual growth is assured.


Seest thou not that Allah is He, Whom do glorify all those who are in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with wings outspread? Each one knows its prayer and its glorification. And Allah is Knower of what they do.  Holy Quran, chapter 24, verse 41.

***So my big question to you all is this; what could be done with the bird situation that would be as effective?***

Try to find a chapter in Quran which is saying/trapping/eating migratory birds is a sin, and than bribe all the religious leaders to distribute it as a fatva.

Cheers, Lajos
