THE VOICE OF REASON
Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
If quran.com/24/2 were in force under a Caliphate governed by the principles of Secular Koranism, we wouldn't have any of that nonsense because most women of child-bearing age in the workplace would either be looking for a husband without being allowed to fornicate with them to prevent unwanted pregnancy and widespread illegitimacy, or at home looking after hearth, home, husband, children and their local community.
YOU ARE AN ANTISEMITE if neocon Jews hate what you say about UK foreign policy dictated by US foreign policy which is run by neocons who are mostly Jews. This is the reality of the cucked gentile British male who is clueless about defending himself against feminazis and Jews
Labour is vulnerable to accusations of antisemitism because leftists hate capitalistic imperialistic wars waged by Jewish neocons in the US which the UK obeys. Nationalist parties are vulnerable to the same accusations because they don't want gentiles to die for Israel and Jews.
It is really a mark of my genius that I summed up the origins of antisemitism in just two tweets as well the operation of UK foreign policy which bombs Muslim countries at the behest of mostly Jewish US neocons and then has to take in Muslim migrants which infuriates the right.
If there were any journalistic integrity in the Bitch, Bastard and Bugger Corporation, I would have a job there, or they would interview me, or air the interview after it was conducted, but I know they have a policy of no-platforming me because they are quaking cunts of cowardice
I was actually interviewed by a BBC journalist last month at a Trump rally, because I practically dared him to do so and also dared him to interview the other non-white Trump supporters, but none of these were aired. https://t.co/jh6ZIleOhR@BBCPaulMoss should remember me.
To the presstitutes of the BBC, I would remind them of the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. There is no point fussing about the content and delivery of your lies and propaganda if no one even bothers to listen to you any more, is there? They are all turning to Pleb Radio @LBC
I would be delighted to be interviewed by Jewish publications and journalists, but I doubt these neocon outfits will be wanting to give me a platform either. As for the Muslims, they really are too frightened of being accused of radicalism by having anything to do with me, sadly.
I actually expected the Muslims of @hizbuttahrir to be a little braver because they have the religious duty of jihad, but @AbdulWahidHT whom I have met twice avoids me like the plague because he knows I have a list of questions on nationalism and Islam I want to ask him.
I'd like to help @UKLabour defend itself against accusations of antisemitism by offering to redo the exchange @ken4london /James Butler had with @alanmendoza /@DPJHodges on their behalves. Happy to help foster better Jew and Gentile relations and win my Nobel Peace Prize!
Abdul Wahid went to Merchant Taylors - the same school as Clive of India, who was expelled from Market Drayton Grammar School after the shopkeepers of Market Drayton complained to his school that he was running a protection racket. https://t.co/ltr1lhS48u
For the avoidance of doubt, let me say it was Clive of India who ran a protection racket in Market Drayton, not Dr Abdul Wahid, who is a lovely man, though he assumes - incorrectly in my view - that nationalism is synonymous with evil and confuses it with Western imperialism. https://t.co/R13GjXn4ID
It is interesting, is it not, that Clive of India began as a juvenile delinquent and a youth offender, who subsequently became a hero of the British empire? Nations do behave like gangsters, do they not? What makes them respectable later is the success of their empire, I suppose. https://t.co/R13GjX5tR5
Are we therefore to think that all empires are evil? While I readily concede that all empires have as tendency to become evil, empire itself is an objective measure of human achievement. Even the invaded eventually acquire the benefits of a higher civilisation and gain knowledge. https://t.co/KPHUYHSlsC
If empire is an objective measure of human achievement, and empire is inevitably fuelled by war and conquest, the best we can do is to agree and stick to humane rules of warfare. The best source of humane rules of warfare is the Koran. https://t.co/pBGMvczSxX
I think I should be congratulated for working out from reason alone as an agnostic - and without ever relying on the actual existence of God - that Islam must necessarily and logically be the way forward for all of humanity. A Nobel Peace Prize is all I ask. https://t.co/VepGJXsi2y
I wonder if it is at all possible for my genius to be acknowledged within my own lifetime or even better, within the lifetime of my own dear honourable parents. I know poor old Confucius was a failure in his own lifetime. https://t.co/1o3Z1xuPtU
Modesty forbids me from claiming more than to have merely arranged the great ideas of civilisation in a rational, moral and practical way to indicate the way forward in the faltering twilight that is our uncertain future. If I my warnings are heeded, the chaos will be briefer. https://t.co/F25VNZ1yTh
I would say empire is an objective measure of human achievement and it is a game of do it to them before they do it to us and may the best man win. If nothing else, it keeps people on their toes. I am proud to consider myself a product of the British empire. https://t.co/CTJKNFZtYt
After viewing the HT video on the Caliphate, I have the following questions for them. I do hope they will not be deliberately ignoring me because I am neither male nor Muslim. If so, that does not bode well because it smacks of male and Muslim chauvinism. Neither would it be consistent with their policy of dawah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawah
1. Does Hizb ut Tahrir believe it can just abolish the nation state and live in a global Muslim village without engaging in debate with non-Muslims?
2. Is HT confusing nationalism with Western imperialism?
3. Is it impossible in your minds to separate nationalism from Western imperialism?
4. First, tribes must be able to form a city-state before it can form a nation. Do you disagree?
5. Secondly, a city-state must control its surrounding territory before it can become a nation. Do you disagree?
6. Thirdly, a nation must be able to successfully conquer territories outside its own borders to become an empire. Do you disagree?
7. Jews were a tribe of wandering former slaves who through following Judaism conquered enough territory to become a kingdom. Do you disagree?
8. Islam was what first united the Arab tribes which then enabled Islamic imperialism. Do you disagree?
10. Nationhood is a natural aspiration for all those who live in a defined piece of territory. Would you agree?
11. Apparently, HT are Muslims who want to abolish nation states and borders who cannot understand that uncontrolled immigration upsets the locals. Such denial and naivete is not a secure basis upon which to embark on a global Caliphate. Would you agree?
12. HT seem to think nationalism is some wicked modern Western imperialist invention, apparently ignorant of the fact that the Jewish revolts against the Romans of the second century was also a form of nationalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism#History Would you confirm that this is indeed the position of HT on nationalism?
14. The Ottoman Empire ended because it could not reform itself before it was dominated then divided by the European powers. Was this because the Gate of Interpretation was closed? https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3114/muslims-ijtihad
15. God if He exists is a nationalist. http://Quran.com/3/104 is conclusive evidence that God approves of nations who promote their national interest by following His laws. Would you agree?
16. It is surely possible to defend the national interest without descending to xenophobia. Why do Muslims, like liberals and the left, assume nationalism is synonymous with evil? We all live in nation states, so why should we as loyal citizens not defend the national interest or expect our political leaders to do so?
17. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectification_of_names is a philosophy of calling things by their proper names or things will go awry. If you mean the policies of divide and rule used by Western imperialism, call it that and don't confuse it with nationalism. Is this a subject you are prepared to discuss?
19. Do you really think a transnational Caliphate can spontaneously come into being without first establishing an imperialistic Islamic State? If so, please explain your reasoning.
20. Have you considered putting it to nationalists and imperialists that running their governments under a one party theocracy would be in the national interest as well as good for Western imperialism and world peace?
"We must put an end to anything which brings about any Islamic unity between the sons of the Muslims. The situation now is that Turkey is dead and will never rise again, because we have destroyed its moral strength, the Caliphate and Islām.”https://t.co/qUqnaTr4Bk
It would appear that @hizbuttahrir is labouring under the misapprehension that Western imperialism is also nationalism. You can be a nationalist without being an imperialist if nationalism means defending the national interest. @AbdulWahidHThttps://t.co/QcKLk6iVfI
It is surely possible to defend the national interest without descending to xenophobia. Why do Muslims, like liberals and the left, assume nationalism is synonymous with evil? We all live in nation states, so why should we not defend the national interest? @AbdulWahidHThttps://t.co/EWLcbr9GJl
Apparently, Muslims who want to abolish nation states and borders cannot understand that uncontrolled immigration upsets the locals. This is not a secure basis upon which to embark on global government, is it? https://t.co/olRvldwKvq
These Muslims think nationalism is some wicked modern Western imperialist invention, apparenlty ignorant of the fact that the Jewish revolts against the Romans of the second century was also a form of nationalism. https://t.co/kiKg3mrbjL
We all have to start somewhere. Individuals exist in bodies, and countries as nation states. To call nationalism evil is to call the nation state evil, which makes about as much sense as denouncing individuals for necessarily existing as a physical being inhabiting a human body.
The Ottoman Empire ended because it could not reform itself before it was dominated then divided by the European powers. I'm no historian but am pretty sure it was something to do with the Ottomans closing the gate of interpretation. https://t.co/joIiS8g557https://t.co/kiKg3mrbjL
@AbdulWahidHT@tajimustafa@hizbuttahrir Can I take it that you do not intend to discuss these matters with me because I am neither a man nor a Muslim? Is that a constructive attitude to take?

But how will they spread the message of Islam by arrogantly refusing to engage in any discussion?
These unfortunate Muslims who want a Caliphate seem to be as lost as everyone else talking to each other in their own echo chambers disdaining to discuss anything with outsiders.
From the 19th minute
Abdul Wahid talks about the degeneracy of the Ottoman Empire. He claims the success of the military invasion of Turkey would not have been successful but for "the evil of nationalism affecting the Arab world". He calls Mustafa Kemal "the ugly face of Turkish nationalism".
He mentions the Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, but does not mention that Turkey supported the wrong losing side in WW1 ie Germany.
Bernard Lewis is the Islamic scholar beloved by neocons.
Taji Mustafa wants Assad destroyed and says an Islamic financial system would be fairer for the poor and poor nations. He has not heard of adverse possession in English law, clearly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_possession
Yahya Nisbet denounces nationalism and peppers his speech with so many Arabisms in an ostentatious Arabic accent that he must think his Arabisms will get him to Janah more quickly. It is just annoying for non-Muslims who want them to understand whatever they are saying quickly, but what the hell do they care as long as they can wear their piety ostentatiously on their sleeve?

19. Do you really think a transnational Caliphate can spontaneously come into being without first establishing an imperialistic Islamic State? If so, please explain your reasoning.
20. Will you be ignoring my questions because I am neither male nor Muslim?
A curious proposal. If that happens, will we become like America and fill up with Mexicans criminals? Perhaps the sharia will deal very firmly with them.
It seems fair enough, and I have had it up to here fretting about the deep state and Trump, to the extent of losing sleep because I worry so much. Have you too had enough of wondering if your politicians are up to the job of governing? (We already know they are fools and knaves and the puppets of our deep state, don't we?) I just want to know someone competent is in charge. It seems the Caliphate offers us peace of mind.
Instead of MPs, we could have mini-Caliphs, who have to satisfy a residential qualification in their constituency as well as pass a three hour exam consisting of five questions concerning
1) Koranic principles
2) their principles
3) what they understand by the national interest.
4) why they think they they should be Caliph
5) who else they think should be Caliph other than themselves and why
These mini-Caliphs who want to be Caliph can then choose the Caliph under the Papal Conclave rules, and Bob's your uncle, we will have a Britannic Caliphate. (NB: Women will be disqualified from being Caliphs because they are women.)
Cameron’s ‘counter-extremism’ strategy – another nail in democracy’s coffin Prime Minister David Cameron has outlined proposed new ‘counter-extremism’ laws in the Queen’s Speech, at the state opening of parliament. He has, once again, talked about ‘the introduction of a new civil order regime to restrict extremist activity’ and banning ‘extremists’ from working with children. He might use this muscular rhetoric to portray himself as the defender of democracy. And whether these laws are passed or not, he has managed yet again to demonise Islam – radicalising ‘middle England’ against Muslims with these proposal. But in reality, he has put another nail in democracy’s coffin. There are several factors that illustrate this.
Firstly, not defining ‘extremism’ precisely gives the government a free hand to use such laws against any person or any organisation that can be made to fit into the vague and broad definition of ‘extremist’. This would not be new (existing anti-terrorism laws and counter-extremism policies have already been used against Walter Wolfgang for heckling Jack Straw, and anti-fracking protestors) but it would extend state powers such that it will be even easier to suppress dissenting political and ideological views – even those expressed solely in terms of rational argument. By doing this, Cameron and Putin don’t differ in principle, only in degrees of totalitarianism.
Secondly, he is not simply using a security policy to silence political opinions, but to interfere, clamp down and even redefine religious orthodoxy – forcing believers to conform to today’s liberal capitalist norms. The endless focus on relations between men and women, Muslims not integrating enough and any manner of issues that are unrelated to violent actions proves again and again that this is nothing but an attempt at a forced conversion to liberal values where argument has failed to convince.
Thirdly, there remains no pretence that this is about ‘extremism’ or a strand of opinion amongst Muslims. There is a systematic attempt to bully orthodox practicing believers in a manner that would be called persecution if the subject of the bullying were any other community. The draconian plans to intervene in ’unregulated education settings’ (Muslim religious instruction Madrassas for children) is a clear example of this.
For those who hold different values or dissenting views and are attempting to persuade others, a confident answer would not be to ban them but to win the argument – unless of course they cannot win the argument, in which case the strong-arm tactics of the despot become the norm.
They are in a lose-lose situation. If they persist with these plans they will expose the weakness of democracy. If they desist, and leave Muslims to adhere to their own beliefs and bring about the Islamic system in the Muslim world, they surely will see that humanity will have a far better model of governance than democracy can ever give to people.
Our message is clear. We will continue to advocate that Muslims embrace Islam completely in their lives. This means a Muslim world coming out of darkness and chaos into justice and security for all its citizens under Islam. And it means Muslims in the west exemplifying the noble Islamic values and inviting others to look at them. As for Cameron and his anti-extremism rhetoric, this is no different to the rhetoric of the Quraysh. They too initiated measures like Prevent and the silencing of Muslims. They failed miserably and Islam was implemented throughout the Arab peninsula. Cameron and democracy are upon the same trajectory as the Quraysh.
Are the media facilitating a discussion about UK foreign policy?
Of course not. Those who speak out of turn tend to lose their jobs and saying anything found to be objectionable by Jews will have you labelled as an antisemite, and antisemites are of course evil nasty Nazis whose views must either be suppressed or ignored.
This is why no one ever listens to Paul Craig Roberts, because he has been labelled as such, even if he is a wise old man and was once adviser to Ronald Reagan. In the West the young despise the old. Anyone who is not attractive enough for them to think of having sex with is automatically dismissed as worthless and even immoral. In any dispute a social conservative might have with a libtard the subject of how much sex one has had will arise as if the number of sex partners one has had in one's life is indicative of one's moral probity and intellectual respectability.
Most people who consider themselves educated and well-informed in this country have never heard of the Wolfowitz Doctrine, as I discovered to my horror recently.
I would say so. You would have thought the media would like to challenge my views but the collective consensus amongst libtards is not to give me the oxygen of publicity before they can think of any counter-arguments to my arguments. I am not even complaining about bad publicity being a sporting kind of woman and prepared to let them do their worst. My touted appearance on the Channel 5 hatchet job on UKIP suddenly came to nothing after filming me over two days for a total of six hours. It was probably because I did not seem to them to be mad and hate-filled enough to fit into the usual mould of what the left like to think of as UKIP supporters. http://thevoiceofreason-ann.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/why-i-was-omitted-from-channel-5-ukip.html
These people no longer play by the rules and will bend and break them if it suits, and they are so shameless they see nothing wrong with this.
I know what the problem is and I have the solution, but no one wants to hear it, even the people who are in government supposedly promoting the national interest and those who are expected to have a professional interest in reporting news with impartiality.
So, what we know now is that UK foreign policy is not about to be discussed because the government has no plans to change it at the behest of its citizens. They also know that virtually no voter will vote for any party on the basis of its foreign policy, and they think they can continue to get away with it.
Those who will not listen to reason are implicitly saying they will only be moved by force. Muslims who come to realise this are radicalised, creating a pool of radicalised people who will take the next leap of thinking: deciding to act logically on this conclusion in an extra-legal way ie become terrorists.
In the meantime both the government and the media continues to close its eyes and shut its ears, for this is now the way of the West.
In the meantime, Muslims will continue to be targeted by the police and security services while being told that only religious fanatics take what their scripture says literally.
It is laughable the way Western governments thinks they can stop radicalisation. Even if Anjem Choudary were forbidden to appear on TV or from using Twitter, there will be others who hold his views and others who will logically act on the conclusion they have formed.
The only way of peaceful protest I can think of is to form a group of Muslims and non-Muslims who make a point of refusing to condemn terrorism because condemning terrorism is a distraction from condemning UK foreign policy.
Condemning terrorism is condemning the symptoms while refusing to cure the disease that is government policy because, without exception, all terrorism is caused by bad government policy. Those who disagree with me about this are invited to think of just one act of terrorism that was not caused by bad government policy and to remind themselves that that late world statesman Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for terrorist offences.
Will the BBC facilitate an honest debate about Western foreign policy with SMS voting and will the government undertake to change it if enough people vote against it?
Can you imagine such a television event ever being broadcast?
If it were being proposed by anyone at all, it would soon be shelved after being put on the back burner. Britain is a vassal state of the EU and the US because our politicians simply have not got a visionary alternative. Only Muslims have an alternative vision.
THE PROCESS OF RADICALISATION
Radicalisation does not only happens to Muslims. Breivk was radicalised and he was an Islamophobe. Radicalisation is when you come to the conclusion that the democratic process is an exercise in futility because it will never give you what you sincerely believe is moral and what you ought to have.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RADICALISATION AND COMMITTING TERRORISM
The radicalised person knows that the democratic process is an exercise in futility as regards what he believes it is moral and just for him to have while the terrorist is someone who is radicalised and knows that only force will move those who have ignored and marginalised him, and is prepared to use violence. The more you antagonise someone, the more he is likely to use violence against you, even if the use of force turns out to be suicidal, if that is the only way he is ever going to get his revenge.
The state should remember what happened to the Austro-Hungarian Empire when its response to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ended its existence.
As they say, it ain't what happens to you, it is how you deal with it.
Those who refuse to be moved by reason are by implication saying they will only be moved by force. When you implicitly transmit this message, you should not be surprised when war and terrorism and perhaps revolution and defeat will be the consequence.
Once again we witness the hypocrisy of man made laws, freedom of speech is only allowed if you eg insult the Prophet! http://t.co/n0X9sADWSX
Muslims worship and fear an omnipotent and morally perfect God whom they believe will come to their assistance if they obey His laws. What do Islamophobes believe in? They worship and fear the fornicating slut who is the embodiment of the sexual liberation they are addicted to.
What Westerner can make the connection between respecting marriage and forbidding extramarital sex? No Western politician will speak up for marriage by denouncing those who allow and encourage extramarital sex. The almost universal practice of extramarital sex in the West is the sacrament of Westerners and what they would call their way of life and their liberty. That is really all they mean when they so grandiosely elevate fornication and widespread bastardy as their national identity and national tradition.
God if He exists sent Muslim terrorists to punish errant Christians and Jews, who really should know better, being the senior branches of the Abrahamic faith.
These days, just listening to the Today Programme, even when it does not mention Muslims or ISIS at all, is a radicalising act.
Every time you hear some stupid policy eg gay marraige, being proposed and turned into law, it is a radicalising act.
When the SNP have 56 seats with 4.7% of the vote while UKIP get only 1 seat with 12.6% of the vote, it is a radicalising act.
When your government bombs another country with no good reason at the behest of the Americans, it is a radicalising act.
You are radicalised when you know that your government and your media are the bad guys who will always ignore and smear you even if you have command of all the arguments.
You are radicalised when you hear Andy Burnham telling the Pope to accept gay marriage thinking this will make him more likely to become Labout leader.
