I suggest to Hizb ut-Tahrir how they might go about finding a Caliph to govern us all


1:17:00  A Caliph for a Caliphate


If you want a Caliph, why don't you organise a Caliphate Contest so anyone who wants to become the Caliph can throw his hat into the ring? Then every Sunday you could talk about the leadership qualities needed for a Caliph and think of ways of testing his suitability as a Caliphatic candidate. I have in mind Candid Caliphatic Camera situations where the candidates' Islamic principles will be tested after all sorts of temptations are put in their way. You could film it and then show it to us here. It will be fun!


Dr Abdul Wahid went to the same school as Clive of India!

I am sure that very nice Dr Abdul Wahid as Caliph would be very reassuring indeed to British men, women and children alike.



That nice Dr Abdul Wahid explains how the Caliphate would work under a rightly-guided alpha male leader.

Hizb ut Tahrir accuse Claire Khaw of not sticking to facts



If you want to know more, you have to read this 40 page document at
www.hizb-australia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Mehodology-of-Hizb-ut-Tahrir-for-Change.pdf

or 131 pages at http://www.hizb-australia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Method-To-Re-establish-Khilafah.pdf if you really are a glutton for punishment because no one at HT is going to engage with you on anything because they are either too arrogant or too frightened to answer questions.

If you can't be bothered to read boring Islamic documents of great length, tough. That's as much as their dawah goes.

Hizb ut Tahrir, Western imperialism, Clive of India, youth offending and Merchant Taylors' College


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?
   
9.  Ummah also means nation in Arabic. Would you agree? http://www1.cbn.com/onlinediscipleship/what-is-the-muslim-understanding-of-%22ummah%22%3F
   
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?

13.  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. Would you agree? https://www.facebook.com/claire.khaw.92/posts/1845229085551716?comment_id=1846060515468573&reply_comment_id=1846861275388497&notif_id=1520365865757713&notif_t=feed_comment&ref=notif
   
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?

Hizb ut Tahrir equate nationalism with evil and then refuse to answer my questions - because I am neither a man nor a Muslim?


Taji Mustafa says:

Can you guess the answer to this question?


Can you guess the answer to this question?


Can you guess the answer to this question?

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.

http://www.hizb.org.uk/viewpoint/disease-nationalism-continues-tear-world-apart/

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman%E2%80%93German_alliance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Sèvres

He does not mention the Eastern Question.

Abdul Wahid:

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

http://quillette.com/2018/02/19/one-state-delusion/ makes a lot of things on Western foreign policy and

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?

Would Thomas Hobbes have approved of a Caliphate?








What is the most interesting thing about Hobbes?

It could be argued that Hobbes supported a Caliphate.



Hobbes was not Muslim, was he?

No, but a Caliphate would be in harmony with the conditions he says are necessary for an absolute monarch."The institution of Churches, popes, priests, pastors, and theologians--who possess power and knowledge that is supposedly founded upon authority outside of the sovereign's domain (i.e. the authority of God and revealed religion)--creates a chasm in the power structure of the Leviathan. A subject's knowledge and obedience is split between two heads of the commonwealth, and this will lead, as Hobbes has repeatedly argued, to civil war. [He was of course thinking of the English Civil War.] As such a situation is against the laws of nature--in that it puts safety in danger--it is against the word of God for religious authority and civil authority to be split into two bodies. Thus the sovereign must also be the head of all religion.""the term caliph came into use as a title of the civil and religious head of the Muslim state."


How do you know Hobbes would not have supported British values?

According to Ofsted, 'fundamental British values' are democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith, which contradicts the absolute monarchy Hobbes advocated.

http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/hobbes/themes.htmlAbsolute

Monarchy as the Best Form of Government [I think he means dictatorship]
Hobbes promoted that monarchy is the best form of government and the only one that can guarantee peace. In some of his early works, he only says that there must be a supreme sovereign power of some kind in society, without stating definitively which sort of sovereign power is best. In Leviathan, however, Hobbes unequivocally argues that absolutist monarchy is the only right form of government. In general, Hobbes seeks to define the rational bases upon which a civil society could be constructed that would not be subject to destruction from within. Accordingly, he delineates how best to minimize discord, disagreement, and factionalism within society—whether between state and church, between rival governments, or between different contending philosophies. Hobbes believes that any such conflict leads to civil war. He holds that any form of ordered government is preferable to civil war. Thus he advocates that all members of society submit to one absolute, central authority for the sake of maintaining the common peace. In Hobbes’s system, obedience to the sovereign is directly tied to peace in all realms. The sovereign is empowered to run the government, to determine all laws, to be in charge of the church, to determine first principles, and to adjudicate in philosophical disputes. For Hobbes, this is the only sure means of maintaining a civil, peaceful polity and preventing the dissolution of society into civil war.

 Are you saying Hobbes would have supported a theocracy?

When accused of atheism, Hobbes denied it. On his deathbed he said he "liked the religion of the Church of England best of all other."

23rd minute at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018csyq  He also says the sovereign should have the last word on religious matters and be head of of all religion.

"We are to consider now what office in the Church those persons have who, being civil sovereigns, have embraced also the Christian faith?" to which the answer is: "Christian kings are still the supreme pastors of their people, and have power to ordain what pastors they please, to teach the Church, that is, to teach the people committed to their charge."

Such is a Caliph.


Hobbes was a Christian. Why would he support a Muslim theocracy rather than a Christian theocracy, as you claim?

It does not appear that Hobbes was aware of Islam at all. Obviously, he had never heard of a Caliphate. A Caliph is a title of the civil and religious head of the Muslim state, which would have suited him down to the ground. You must understand that he thought the clergy had too much influence. Islam has no clergy at all and relies on the Koran to maintain morality. The closest Islam has to a clergy is the judiciary.

https://faculty.history.wisc.edu/sommerville/367/367-091.htm

"Hobbes believed that endless trouble and civil strife was caused by clerical pretensions - whether those of puritan fundamentalists, papal supremacists or divine right episcopalians. Hobbes wanted the clergy deprived of all independent power and kept on a short leash, strictly subordinate to the state."

Now, are you finally persuaded that Hobbes would have taken to Islam like a duck to water?

According to Hobbes, we should neither obey a government nor support a political system that leads us into war and does not protect us from predation by other nations

Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan is of course the Nation State offering protection to its citizens in return for their obedience. When we no longer believe that our government is acting in our interests, in the national interest or the interests of our descendants, then it is time to question its legitimacy.

Western governments do not support the institutions of marriage and the family because its politicians are incapable of thinking beyond the next election, always less than five years away.

That well-meaning politicians like Trump who win by the rules of democracy cannot really win because the deep state will act to block and isolate him is a sign that the current system is dysfunctional and that he is not in charge.

Not only is the first alt-right President of America not in charge, neither are the rest of our leaders who seem to be mostly childless men or women with no biological investment in the future. They cannot be trusted to lead or govern, can they?

We no longer know what Trump is doing or why he is doing it and the most obvious explanation is that American sabre-rattling against North Korea is intended to bounce the South Koreans into buying US arms and putting up with US-organised military manoeuvres designed to keep up the tension in order to prompt more arms sales.

The only nations in the world that are acting in their national interest and not trying to shove the abomination of gay marriage up the collective sphincter of its people are one-party states like China and Iran or Muslim states like Saudi Arabia.

If our rotten political system is not capable of being reformed under currently available mechanisms, then it must be replaced, so that we, its citizens and our descendants are protected from war by an increasingly demented international order apparently determined to start one.

Britain as a liberal democracy twice declared war on Germany leading to the loss of its world empire, reducing its populace to being citizens of a nation that is currently begging to keep its vassal state status to the EU and the US.

Hobbes believed there should be a supreme authority and absolute monarchy. This must mean Hobbes would support the Caliphate, which is a constitutional dictatorship. That he would support what is now called "British values" by our political classes, which is in fact Transnational Progressivism, is laughable.

Our civilisation may die, but people live on

If it dies, it was because of a flaw in our religion or our failure to follow its principles because there was a weak link in its transmission. In a way, we do live in the best of all possible worlds as Dr Pangloss in Candide believed, because we were at least part of a civilisation that will be remembered while as we live we retain the ability to peer nervously around the corner. What is useful and excellent about our civilisation will be looked after, even by those not of our race and nation, what is degenerate and evil will serve as as warning to others, to our descendants and to those who study history who are not our descendants.

Allowing feminism to take over while refusing or being unable to discuss it is a sign of being in denial, a feminine vice.

When the entire political establishment including Fourth Estate refuse to discusses it, it is corrupt.

When those who are against the establishment - and by this I mean the alt-right - refuse to discuss it either, then your entire civilisation is degenerate.

If our society is irreversibly degenerate, we will be unable to change it using the political ideology and mechanisms currently available.

Why do you think radical Muslims in the West want a Caliphate?

If Thomas Hobbes - accused of atheism - were alive today, he would choose the Caliphate. You just know he would. Being ruled by a rational alpha male expected to protect the national interest is better than being in a ship of state being steered towards the rocks by a captain who refuses to engage in any meaningful debate or answer any urgent questions.

However, back to my main point: to live in a declining civilisation is better than not to have lived in one at all.

Humans who existed before cities were founded never lived in a civilisation.

When our civilisation is in irreversible decline, what do we do?

There are only two options: Stoicism or Revolution.

I am not known for my Stoicism. While there is still breath in me I will say what is obviously the truth to me, and if you understand what I am saying and choose to pretend you do not, or half understand what I say but dare not ask questions, then you must be one of the sheeple whose views don't matter and who are entirely without influence or friends. Of such men I cannot expect anything.

The Caliphate: a vision of the future?












It's a constitutional dictatorship.




http://www.hizb.org.uk/current-affairs/ten-features-of-the-islamic-khilafah



We can default on our debts - yay!























God will be the policeman inside people's heads. 









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.

http://5pillarsuk.com/2017/03/02/muslims-should-be-confident-in-discussing-the-khilafah-in-todays-britain/

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.)

What can be done to save America from its politicians and political system?




Nobody is really in charge of America because the political classes in reality have very little power and are at the beck and call of the lobbyists.

Can you imagine a dictator being told what to do by the arms manufacturers? He would soon tell them where to go.

It has always been a fallacy that democracies are always more peaceful than dictatorships. Athens was not exactly peaceable, nor did its democracy last very long. Whatever the nature of the government, it will find itself wanting to assert itself, show off and posture when it feels itself to be weak and losing power.  Failing empires who call themselves democracies are just a likely to do this as any petty tyrant in a tinpot dictatorship. Think of short men who take on larger than life personalities to over-compensate for their lack of height.

In any group 51% of its members are stupider than the other 49%. In a democracy, we submit to this majority of the stupid.

Indeed, a democracy only works if all voters are wise, and we already know that most voters are venal, morally corrupt, ignorant, intellectually lazy and easily led.

A wise ruler with wise advisers would best be able to keep the lobbyists and other enemies of society at bay, but not members of a political class riven with factionalism trying to do outdo each other while worrying about their status and the income that needs to go with it.

Can you imagine, for example, a Caliph being at the beck and call of his arms manufacturers? Granted, Hitler and Mussolini were hardly peaceable in their urgency to build their empires, but then again Franco had no interest in foreign adventures nor did Salazar. The Chinese one-party system would be best for the Americans. It will be interesting to see the debates they will have when they decide to change their constitution and abolish their oligarchy.

Dictator Trump would be a hopeful start, since the Americans already clearly adore him.





Does China Produce More Competent Leaders Than America?

Petition PEACEFULLY for a Caliphate by Referendum!

Dear Claire Khaw,

You’re not done yet!

Forward the email below to your potential supporters.

5 people need to click the link and confirm their support for us to publish your petition.

Thanks,
The Petitions team
UK Government and Parliament

I’ve made a petition – will you sign it?
Click this link to sign the petition:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/115623/sponsors/mFx8m80LEbj3s9PrSGnd


My petition:
Debate the feasibility of establishing a Caliphate by referendum.
ISIS are threatening to impose a Caliphate and fly the flag of Islam in Downing Street. Should we jump before we are pushed?
Click this link to sign the petition:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/115623/sponsors/mFx8m80LEbj3s9PrSGnd

At 10,000 signatures you get a response from the government.
At 100,000 signatures your petition will be considered for a debate in Parliament.

Irrespective of whether you are Muslim or even want a Caliphate, wouldn't it just be great to see Parliament debate the pros and cons of having a Caliphate?

A Caliph would be a kind of constitutional monarch or dictator. (Yes, it is logically possible to have a constitutional dictator if it is possible to have a constitutional monarch! What is a king but a dictator in all but name? A constitutional monarch is a monarch limited by the constitution, and a Caliph would be a constitutional monarch (or dictator, if you prefer) limited by what the Koran allows.

Now that I have put it this way, it doesn't sound quite so frightening, does it?

As for the atrocities that ISIS have committed, you will doubtless be aware that the French Revolutionaries did their fair share of beheadings too, and after a while they calmed down under the dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte who crowned himself emperor.

If you ask a Frenchman what he thinks of the French Revolution, all you would get is a Gallic shrug and the comment that "Nothing has changed."

Did you know that the French are now on their Fifth Republic? If they change their constitution again it will be their Sixth Republic. If they were using sharia law, would they be changing their constitution as often as they change underwear? God's laws are eternal and universal, and won't need such constant correction. Wouldn't it be nice for us to all settle down after knowing and being told what's what and where we all are in society? You betcha!

Think of all the exciting Saturday evenings the British Nation would enjoy choosing a Caliph through a TV show called Britain's Got a Caliph.

#IS The Rise of the Khilafah Caliphate and the Return of the Gold Dinar


https://www.facebook.com/pages/Should-we-abolish-usury/351776538265174?fref=ts

My scrappy notes about the economics of ISIS gleaned from this video.

Coinage as a store of value, WW1 and Sykes-Picot mentioned as well as fractional reserve banking explained.

Gold standard, Weimar Republic, hyper-inflation.

Gold of Americans confiscated by their government.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

Bretton Woods and Federal Reserve. $35 per ounce of gold. Federal Reserve the banker of the world ie the dollar as international currency.

Countries of the world had to give the Federal Reserve either their gold or their exports.
If you want to engage in international trade you have to use gold or dollars.

Vietnam War financed by printing of dollar notes. This made the rest of the world get their gold reserves out.

Nixon annulled Bretton Woods and cancelled all redemption rights to gold.

Al Greenspan:

"The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to that so there is zero probability of default."

The amount of base dollars in circulation generated by the Federal Reserve rose from £220 billion to £2.5 TRILLION.

Don't even ask me how many zeroes that is.

Mike Maloney:

"When your currency supply is all owed back plus interest, and the currency to pay back the interest does not exist yet, it means you have to always go deeper in debt and so if the public doesn't always borrow more to cover the principal plus the interest it is owed on the currency supply, then the whole thing goes into a deflationary collapse."

Inflation is an adherent and perpetual part of this evil system, eroding the value of the pound in your pocket.

Thatcher herself admitted that inflation was a fraud on the saver.

"The lesson is clear. Inflation devalues us all."

MARGARET THATCHER, speech at Georgetown University, Feb. 27, 1981

"From time to time we have taken this prescription of sound money and good financial housekeeping. But we gave up because we didn't like the pain and discomfort that any medicine can cause when it starts to take effect. So we sought the easy option, but it always led to harder times—to worse inflation followed by more unemployment. Today we know that excess money creates the fever of inflation. Yet it is suggested that we are somehow jeopardising the future of industry by giving top priority to defeating inflation. I tell you that inflation is the biggest destroyer of all—of industry, of jobs, of savings, and of society. Surely, it is folly to diagnose the disease and to know the cure but to lack the courage to prescribe or the tenacity to take the medicine."

MARGARET THATCHER, speech to Conservative Trade Unionists, Nov. 1, 1980


Read more at http://www.notable-quotes.com/t/thatcher_margaret_iii.html#fjZkPohSwd77Mlx4.99

If you devalue the dollar by 10% you devalue the value of people's savings by 10%.

Edward Griffin:

"A good chunk of the debt created has been shipped overseas. I remember early in my research I heard this expression that the Americans have exported their inflation. How can you export your inflation? You export your inflation by sending all these dollars you created to these other countries and then they send you their refrigerators and their cars and their TV sets, so you get their hardware, and they get little pieces of paper. It is a great deal for the American people."

Jim Rickards on dollar dumping from 39th minute.

40th minute: dollars coming back, chickens coming home to roost with inflation.

Other countries such as China and Russia currently benefit from this system but they are taking steps to protect themselves waiting for the right moment to dump all their dollars.

What is the UK Treasury doing? Burying its head deeper into the sand.

ISIS is going to sell oil only for gold.

ISIS gold is 21 carat and weighs in at 4.25g.

Actually, this should be found scarier than all the beheading videos put together. These guys HAVE A PLAN, and they are speaking of what is bound to happen - Western economic collapse.

Austrian Economics Is Now Equivalent To Terrorism Thanks To Latest Islamic State "Gold Standard" Propaganda Clip



(1) PC Liberalism/Neoliberalism/Neoconservatism [ONE EXTREME] (2) Secular Koranism [THE MIDDLE WAY] - (3) Anjem Choudary's sharia law [THE OTHER EXTREME]



Hudson learned that monetary theory concerns itself only with wages and consumer prices, not with the inflation of asset prices such as real estate and stocks. He saw that economic theory serves as a cover for the polarization of the world economy between rich and poor. The promises of globalism are a myth. Even left-wing and Marxist economists think of exploitation in terms of wages and are unaware that the main instrument of exploitation is the financial system’s extraction of value into interest payments.

http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/worldhistory/twelvetables.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Tables


TABLE 1 - 100 LASHES FOR EXTRAMARITAL SEX (SSMs  TO RECEIVE 100 LASHES PER ILLEGITIMATE OFFSPRING)

024.002
YUSUFALI: The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
PICKTHAL: The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers witness their punishment.
SHAKIR: (As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day, and let a party of believers witness their chastisement.

TABLE 2 - LESBIANS & LEWD BEHAVIOUR BY WOMEN

004.015
YUSUFALI: If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.
PICKTHAL: As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).
SHAKIR: And as for those who are guilty of an indecency from among your women, call to witnesses against them four (witnesses) from among you; then if they bear witness confine them to the houses until death takes them away or Allah opens some way for them.

TABLE 3 - COTTAGING

004.016
YUSUFALI: If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent and improve, then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever relenting, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And as for the two who are guilty of indecency from among you, give them both a punishment; then if they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.

TABLE 4 - LEGAL BROTHELS

024.033
YUSUFALI: Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is Allah, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them),
PICKTHAL: And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye may seek enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity. And if one force them, then (unto them), after their compulsion, lo! Allah will be Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And let those who do not find the means to marry keep chaste until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among those whom your right hands possess, give them the writing if you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth of Allah which He has given you; and do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, in order to seek the frail good of this world's life; and whoever compels them, then surely after their compulsion Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

TABLE 5 - MEN ARE A DEGREE ABOVE WOMEN, BUT ONLY IF THEY MAINTAIN THEM

004.034
YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
SHAKIR: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

TABLE 6 - THE WORD OF A MAN IS WORTH TWICE THAT OF WOMEN, BUT ONLY IN THE CONTEXT OF WITNESSING LOAN AGREEMENTS

002.282
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! When ye contract a debt for a fixed term, record it in writing. Let a scribe record it in writing between you in (terms of) equity. No scribe should refuse to write as Allah hath taught him, so let him write, and let him who incurreth the debt dictate, and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord, and diminish naught thereof. But if he who oweth the debt is of low understanding, or weak, or unable himself to dictate, then let the guardian of his interests dictate in (terms of) equity. And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not (at hand) then a man and two women, of such as ye approve as witnesses, so that if the one erreth (through forgetfulness) the other will remember. And the witnesses must not refuse when they are summoned. Be not averse to writing down (the contract) whether it be small or great, with (record of) the term thereof. That is more equitable in the sight of Allah and more sure for testimony, and the best way of avoiding doubt between you; save only in the case when it is actual merchandise which ye transfer among yourselves from hand to hand. In that case it is no sin for you if ye write it not. And have witnesses when ye sell one to another, and let no harm be done to scribe or witness. If ye do (harm to them) lo! it is a sin in you. Observe your duty to Allah. Allah is teaching you. And Allah is knower of all things.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! when you deal with each other in contracting a debt for a fixed time, then write it down; and let a scribe write it down between you with fairness; and the scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so he should write; and let him who owes the debt dictate, and he should be careful of (his duty to) Allah, his Lord, and not diminish anything from it; but if he who owes the debt is unsound in understanding, or weak, or (if) he is not able to dictate himself, let his guardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other; and the witnesses should not refuse when they are summoned; and be not averse to writing it (whether it is) small or large, with the time of its falling due; this is more equitable in the sight of Allah and assures greater accuracy in testimony, and the nearest (way) that you may not entertain doubts (afterwards), except when it is ready merchandise which you give and take among yourselves from hand to hand, then there is no blame on you in not writing it down; and have witnesses when you barter with one another, and let no harm be done to the scribe or to the witness; and if you do (it) then surely it will be a transgression in you, and be careful of (your duty) to Allah, Allah teaches you, and Allah knows all things. 

TABLE 7 - RELIGIOUS & POLITICAL FREEDOM

002.256
YUSUFALI: Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
PICKTHAL: There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
SHAKIR: There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

TABLE 8 - DIRECT DEMOCRACY

003.159
YUSUFALI: It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee: so pass over (Their faults), and ask for (Allah's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast Taken a decision put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).
PICKTHAL: It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast lenient with them (O Muhammad), for if thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about thee. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those who put their trust (in Him).
SHAKIR: Thus it is due to mercy from Allah that you deal with them gently, and had you been rough, hard hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around you; pardon them therefore and ask pardon for them, and take counsel with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who trust.

TABLE 9 - THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT NOT TO BE TAXED MORE THAN A FLAT RATE TAX OF 20%

008.041
YUSUFALI: And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
PICKTHAL: And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination, the day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things.
SHAKIR: And know that whatever thing you gain, a fifth of it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in Allah and in that which We revealed to Our servant, on the day of distinction, the day on which the two parties met; and Allah has power over all things.

TABLE 10 - INFANTICIDE

017.031
YUSUFALI: Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin.
PICKTHAL: Slay not your children, fearing a fall to poverty, We shall provide for them and for you. Lo! the slaying of them is great sin.
SHAKIR: And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.
081.008
YUSUFALI: When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
PICKTHAL: And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked
SHAKIR: And when the female infant buried alive is asked
081.009
YUSUFALI: For what crime she was killed;
PICKTHAL: For what sin she was slain,
SHAKIR: For what sin she was killed,

The interpretation being "You cannot kill your children just because they are the wrong sex ie female or because you fear poverty, but you can kill them for other reasons eg if they are disabled unviable and unwanted under the principle of what is not forbidden must be allowed.

The laws of the Twelve Tables of Rome required the pater familias to ensure that "obviously deformed" infants were put to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pater_familias#Children

TABLE 11 - ONE-PARTY STATE

030.030
YUSUFALI: So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not.
PICKTHAL: So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not -
SHAKIR: Then set your face upright for religion in the right state-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but most people do not know--
030.031
YUSUFALI: Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah,-
PICKTHAL: Turning unto Him (only); and be careful of your duty unto Him and establish worship, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him);
SHAKIR: Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be not of the polytheists
030.032
YUSUFALI: Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!
PICKTHAL: Of those who split up their religion and became schismatics, each sect exulting in its tenets.
SHAKIR: Of those who divided their religion and became seas every sect rejoicing in what they had with them
What is representative democracy but dividing our state ideology into sects and rejoicing in our own doctrines? Let us not journey further on this road to perdition.   

TABLE 12 - PRIVACY & DEFAMATION

049.012
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Ye abhor that (so abhor the other)! And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is Relenting, Merciful.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion, for surely suspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor let some of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful.

Can't say fairer than this, can we?

Let us make this bargain with God even if we don't quite believe in Him, for doing so and adopting Secular Koranism will once again give the West access to a reliable source of social conservatism now that Christianity has fallen to gay marriage and democracy is dementia. We can survive a bad religion or bad government, but not both. Let us therefore jump before we are pushed by ISIS.
