A ZIONIST THEOCRACY FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

1) A secular Israel is a fraud and perceived as colony of the West in a sea of hostile Arab nations seething with injured Arab nationalism.

2) Most Israelis would leave Israel if it became a rabbinical theocracy imposing death by stoning eg breaking the Sabbath, leaving enough land to share with Palestinian Arabs, obviating the need for a divisive two-state solution.

3) Religious Israelis who feel they have to go with theocratic Israel will realise that a theocracy run under Koranic principles is the only viable one because it acknowledges Judaism and Christianity as foundations Islam was built on.

4) A Koranic theocracy in Israel would allow Israelis peaceful enjoyment of Israel and allow it to have better relations with its neighbours and the rest of the world.

An Islamic theocracy would give Christians and Jews a more assured status because the Koran acknowledges that Islam is built on foundations of Judaism and Christianity while Jews would have trouble with Jesus (because he caused them so much trouble), Christians would have trouble with Jews (because they had Jesus killed) and trouble with Muslims (because they deny the Trinity). Muslims on the other hand give Jews and Christians special status ie "People of the Book" and acknowledges their prophets.

I had in mind Israeli judiciary of any faith administering law infused with Koranic principles after passing an exam in Koranic Knowledge.

HOW TO ESTABLISH A CALIPHATE IN ISRAEL IN ONE EASY STEP, WITHOUT CONVERTING A SINGLE SOUL

What is this first step?

The Koran is generally acknowledged to be a great work of literature, even by non-Muslims.

It is also said to be the direct word of God.

If that is so, it should be regarded as a contract between God and Man.

It promises to be a warning and a guide for mankind and warrants that its guidance will keep man peaceful and at peace with himself, but only if its directions are followed.

While it is said to be a religion of peace, it is also a religion of war – a war against evil and oppression, idolatry and irrationality, intoxication and sexual licence.  

This being so, it would benefit law students to study such a divine contract, whether or not they are Muslim as it would usefully add to their legal knowledge and drafting skills.

Even if Koranic knowledge were acquired reluctantly, just for the utilitarian purpose of passing a law exam and getting a law degree, it is very likely that the law student who goes on to becomes a legal practitioner will apply Koranic principles either consciously or unconsciously when interpreting and applying the law.

An example of this is seen in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donoghue_v_Stevenson which promoted the Christian principle of love thy neighbour.  The Koran has a similar principle too.

004.036
YUSUFALI: Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-
PICKTHAL: And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful,
SHAKIR: And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does not love him who is proud, boastful;

There will doubtless be skeptics and Islamophobes who will have to be persuaded of the wisdom of adopting such a course, which they will find objectionable and controversial.

To counter them, simply form a Koran Book Club and offer generous prizes to non-Muslims only for essays that confirm what has been said above.

The Caliphate should be fully mature in about two decades, I predict.

My prospectus for Dictatorship of a one-party theocracy to regenerate degenerate Britain

"Oooh! One party state! Isn't that Nazi-Fascist-Commie totalitarianism??!!!" 

Please note that I am saying NO - properly managed it will confer on MPs the rights of a Senator in Republican Rome.  All MPs would vote on policies on the basis that Peter Bone MP's House of Commons (Disqualification) Bill had been passed.   http://conservativehome.blogs.com/parliament/2010/10/peter-bone-seeks-to-abolish-the-flatterers-cajolers-and-sometime-bullies-that-are-the-party-whips.html

All MPs would have the following rights as enunciated in Article 4 in Chapter 1 of the Chinese Communist Party constitution.  (Currently, they do not even enjoy the right of free speech.. Ask Enoch Powell, Patrick Mercer, Allan Duncan etc.)

http://www.chinatoday.com/org/cpc/china_communist_party_constitution.htm#2

I propose a one-party state because the Koran warns us against dividing ourselves into sects (ie competing amoral tribal political parties) and rejoicing in our own doctrines.  30:32  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/030-qmt.php

I know Roman civilisation died out, and we also know why it died out, do we not?  (It died of being overwhelmed by Slut Single Mums and their bastards, of Roman citizens being on welfare (bread and circuses), and died of the failure of Christianity (the religion for ignoble slaves and cowardly and hypocritical women.)

So we just avoid its mistakes.

We avoid them by using the warning and reminder that is Koran.

LIVING IN A KHAVIAN CALIPHATE

Advantages for Men:

1. You can have 4 wives if you really can afford them and really want to. (White nationalists should note how quickly they can replenish their numbers if they are each allowed to have 4 wives who in turn have 4 children ... )

2. You can also have legal brothels if you just want no-strings sex with no Child Support Agency chasing after you if you knocked up some woman you wouldn't dream of marrying so stupid she let you have sex with her  for free.  http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/06/verse-in-koran-implicitly-condones.html

3. You will have a 20% flat rate income tax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khums

4. You will be respected as men and considered a degree above women if you maintain them.  4:34  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/004-qmt.php

5. You will have the right to chastise a recalcitrant wife short of divorce. http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-interpretation-of-that-wife-beating.html

6. If you are in favour of the death penalty, you will be pleased that the Koran permits the death penalty where it is just.  6:151  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/006-qmt.php

7. You can have slaves (but the corollary of that is that you may yourself be enslaved).

8.  If you are a Libertarian you would relish repealing all liberal totalitarian THOUGHTCRIME anti-discrimination legislation.  According to the Koran, "There is no compulsion in belief."  2:256  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/002-qmt.php  10:99  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/010-qmt.php 18:29  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/018-qmt.php

9. You will have a right to vote in referenda on controversial issues that affect you, eg whether to withdraw from the EU, whether to bail out more banks etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shura

Advantages for Women:

1. Ladies, you can share the burden of a husband if he is rich enough to have more than one wife. Many hands make light work!

2. Lesbians, you will have access to women (especially if they are your husband's wives), provided no more than 4 people witness your lewd acts with each other.
http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-islam-would-arrest-qualitative-and.html

3. Prostitutes will be able to work in brothels legally. 24:33  http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/quran/verses/024-qmt.php

4. Prostitution can always be the trade for slut single mums and their daughters if they do not wish to better themselves. Their bastard sons can be their bouncers, accountants, lawyers etc, if they better themselves in my proposed New Model Comprehensive.  http://thevoiceofreason-ann.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-model-comprehensive-by-tories.html

5. You will find it easier to find decent husbands to keep you staying at home as housewife and mother.  This will appeal to you because, let's face it, you're not stupid and don't really want to go to work after you have sprogged, do you, unless you and your husband can both afford to hire a nanny?

Advantages for All:


The Islamic prohibition against Usury, intended to discourage irresponsible lending and borrowing by both governments and individuals, will herald a new age in which the pound in your pocket keeps its value from generation to generation.  Imagine!  All you have to do is put your savings in the bank without having to worry about government-caused inflation to erode its value or turning yourself into a property speculator or a gambler.

Also, I would return the British currency to Pounds Shillings and Pence in order to make British children learn their time tables and to confuse the foreigner.

In this one-party theocracy, Charles will be the king of the Khavian Caliphate, and much will remain the same as before, but better governed and regulated, with a light delicate touch of a dictatrix who only nudges and gently cajoles, unlike the liberal oligarchs who bludgeon, tax, fine and imprison those who commit thoughtcrime and speech crime.

There will no thoughtcrime legislation in the Khavian Cailphate, for there is no compulsion in belief.

Only I am capable of interpreting the Koran to the satisfaction of most people, because only I understand the British better than they themselves do.  I also have a working knowledge of the English legal system.

My answer to "What is consciousness and why it is important"

I would define what is consciousness, and say that it is self-consciousness.

Self-consciousness is of course the awareness of the difference between myself and other people and other objects.

Self-consciousness is only possible if one were able to suffer pain or enjoy pleasure.

I would then say that I assume that all conscious creatures - if they were wise - would wish would wish to maximise their pleasure and minimise their pain in the long term.

This policy of maximising pleasure and minimising pain requires the use of Reason.

How well one uses Reason to maximise pleasure and minimise pain is a reflection of one's Wisdom, which is where philosophy comes in.

The use of reason requires one to make judgments on whether a course of action is wise or unwise and leads us to consider the nature of Knowledge and Truth (Epistemology) which would assist us in the process of reasoning.

The question is important because it demonstrates how so much time can be spent by so many clever people going down an intellectual blind alley that does not make us any the wiser, which is what philosophy and philosophers worth their salt ought to do for us.

The question "What is consciousness?" demonstrates the truth and wisdom of the saying "Ask a silly question, get a silly answer."

How did that silly question come to be asked? It came to be asked because Descartes tried to prove the existence of God by using his theory of consciousness ("I think therefore I am"), which is linked to his theory of knowledge ("How can we ever know anything for certain?") leading eventually, centuries later, to the Donald Rumseld Theory of Knowledge (Known Knowns, Known Unknowns, Unknown Unknowns).

Tallis is preoccupied with the existence of God because he is an atheist anxious to disprove the existence of God.  However, my theory of Agnostic Indifference to the existence of a Living God would most rationally reconcile the opposing positions of Atheists and Monotheists ie

"Only the altruistic and truly good would behave as if God exists (and do as they think He would wish us to do if He existed) for the Greater Good even as they entertain doubts about His actual existence.
