A new anthem for the English to be called MECCA?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time

Jerusalem


And did those feet in ancient time.
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green and pleasant Land.

John Forster, a well-known Church historian once said:  "Yes, a wonderful tune; but the words ask four questions and the answer to them all is NO."

I would like to change the words of the poem while keeping its metre and theme it on a time when the English were unconsciously Islamic and happy and glorious compared to now.

These days, you can beg and plead with Islamophobes again and again to tell you what they find so objectionable about the Koran and they will still be too lazy, illiterate or proud to read it.   If they have they will be unable to point to any particular verse that offends against morality or common sense.

The English could be Islamic again, and properly so, and it would be no bad thing, if the Koran is interpreted for them in the way that I would interpret it for them.   [Secular Koranism for the judiciary (who do not have to convert - only pass an examination that I myself shall set), Anglican Islam for the masses (incorporating Anglican forms of worship where they do not contradict the Koran) and Agnostic Indifference for the political classes in my proposed one party state that will come into being the moment Peter Bone MP's House of Commons Disqualification Bill is passed.   http://thevoiceofreason-ann.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/khaw-consultancy-advisory-service-to.html]

England is stuffed with Muslims the English hate and fear precisely because they have been so disgracefully unIslamic.

How have they been unIslamic?

Qiblah-hosting Muslim nations would encourage travel and world peace

The Saudis won't like this, but I am toying with the idea of recommending to the ummah that the direction of prayer for Muslims should move from time to time so no Muslim country gets a monopoly of pilgrimage, like  Saudi Arabia. I recommend that this works along the lines of tenders for the Olympics. It should always go to the most Islamically advanced country in the world.  No country may vote for itself. 

No reason why the Qiblah has to stay in Mecca, is what I am saying.

002.144
YUSUFALI: We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.

PICKTHAL: We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.

SHAKIR: Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so We shall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like; turn then your face towards the Sacred Mosque, and wherever you are, turn your face towards it, and those who have been given the Book most surely know that it is the truth from their Lord; and Allah is not at all heedless of what they do.  


The verse seems to suggest that the Qiblah may change direction when circumstances dictate as long as it is in a direction dear to the Prophet's heart.

Why would a place of worship in a land judged to be Islamic and enlightened by the ummah not be dear to the Prophet?

If he were alive, would he not wish to visit it himself?

These are my reasons for suggesting that the Qiblah can be changed to foster an international spirit of competitiveness for enlightened Islamic government.

No Islamic reason why it cannot one day be London, Paris, New York, Rome or Beijing ...

Its direction has changed once, so it can change again.  A precedent has been set. (It was Jerusalem before it was Mecca.)

It might one day be Britain, who knows. Be nice to think of all Muslims in the world praying in the direction of Britain, while British Muslims have the privilege of praying in any direction ...

There is also a huge money-making opportunity for those makers of those prayer direction thingies ("QiblahNav"?  Qiblah Compass?) that tell Muslims which way to face when they are abroad.

I suggest it changes every 4 years, just like the Olympics and the World Cup.

A new one every 4 years - an excellent commercial opportunity for Qiblah compass manufacturers.
