and Muslims. Many western influentials from politicians, policymakers to judges have taken it upon
themselves to undermine the Islamic beliefs, values and rules so to make it palatable to their
egotistic minds and the secular liberal thoughts.

This blog is dedicated:-

1. To argue the point for Islam in its belief and systems and to refute the misconceptions.

Who is Cameron to speak on behalf of the Muslims of Egypt?

This is a question that comes to mind as David Cameron arrogantly strolls down Tahrir Square, where the blood of the Shuhadaa' was spilled, and where the chants of protesters soared to the highest skies.

It is common knowledge that Egypt and other Muslim countries were first ruled directly through military occupation by the United Kingdom in its former glory. This led the common masses to openly revolt against their occupiers several decades ago.

After being shaken by the fear that Muslims might overthrow the Western tyrants, they rode the wave of protest underhandedly altering the presence of their military occupation through agents calling behind the guise of democracy and secularism. They gave the newly-forged countries flags to wave around in the presence of their dictators. They also gave them an "Independence Day" complete with fireworks and parades. But what does this Independence Day symbolize? They removed the direct military occupiers and installed a false sense of democracy through dictators. All the while, western regimes remain intact dictating commands to their agent rulers, that are applied via lethal force, well known to the citizens who bear the dire consequences of torture-filled prisons and death. The agent rulers defiantly ruled against their own people sacrificing their land and blood for the interests of the West.

Alhamdulillah the time has come when the masses have awakened to reject openly and defiantly their agent-rulers in broad daylight persevering throughout times of distress leading many to their death. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى grant them the ranks of Hadrat Hamza (ra).

Cameron boasts of being the first western leader to walk down Tahrir Square throwing statements to the press like, "What is so refreshing about what's been happening is that this is not an Islamist revolt...This is not extremists on the streets," Cameron said.

If millions of people call for Islam then they are deemed as "extremists" by the West not as people wanting free sovereignty from their agent rulers. What is so refreshing about that, Mr. Cameron?

"This is a great opportunity for us to go and talk to those currently running Egypt to make sure this really is a genuine transition from military rule to civilian rule, and see what friendly countries like Britain and others in Europe can do to help," Cameron said.

What is your great opportunity here, Mr. Cameron? What is the help you intend to offer Egypt? More agent rulers??? More secret deals to conspire against the sincerest of people??? Is this another wave the West intends to surf? Is it one of liberty, freedom and justice for all? The people are Muslim so it is natural for them to want Islam to be applied upon them. Muslims do not want Qadafi or Mubarak style democracy or Abu-Ghraib or Gitmo democracy. Do not fool Muslims with your chameleon skins of dictatorship to democracy. Do not barge into Muslim lands and force your false system of democracy and liberalism on the Muslim people. They do not want this corrupt system. No indeed this is not what they are revolting for despite the western commentary.

All the while, western leaders are revealing their innate fear of Islam's return. The people of Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya realize that their agent rulers' aims and desires do not match the aims and desires of the populations. These Muslims earnestly call for Islam to return and to be applied. They want the constant vivid nightmares to stop, and to finally feel tranquility and security in their lives and lands.

The West fully realizes the great impact of what the system of Islam entails. If Muslims revert to Islam they will be united as one mighty people or Ummah. This will then be the beginning of their end. Britain realizes the importance of the Middle East as it is their main source of interest and therefore needs to be protected at all costs. Egypt holds a unique position central to the UK‘s economy while holding political interests as well. They carefully monitor all actions so as not to disrupt this critical balance. Egypt is strategically placed on the world map, thus emphasizing its important role in the Middle East. The West quickly reverberated after Mubarak's toppling that Egypt will continue to uphold all peace treaties and agreements made under his regime. They do not want the status quo to change-this is Cameron and his fellow allies' first priority in their agendas.

One thing is for sure, while Cameron visited Egypt sitting down with the interim government, he is quickly trying to seize the opportunity of the present situation, by allowing Britain to get its foot in the door. While there is still a space between the millions of people and the government, it will try to interfere in government reform. InshAllah it will not deceitfully ride the wave again as it has done before in history. The Muslim people have recognized the Western ploys against Muslim lands and their agent rulers suppressing the people's desire for Islam to be their guiding light out of this miserable darkness that has plagued them for decades. InshAllah, the Muslims will soon experience a true Independence Day marked with a new flag bearing "La ilaha illal-Allah Muhammad rasool al-Allah." An Islamic State where Muslims and non-Muslims alike will experience the justice of a great ruler.

What they said...

“Islam represented the greatest military power on earth…It was the foremost economic power in the world…It had achieved the highest level so far in human history, in the arts and sciences of civilization...Islam in contrast created a world civilization, poly-ethnic, multiracial, international, one might even say intercontinental.”

[Bernard Lewis, Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Orientalist and Historian, 2001]

"There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world. It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts…the civilization I'm talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600… Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage"

[Carly Fiorina, ex-CEO of Hewlett-Packard, 2001]

"For the first three centuries of its existence (circ. A.D 650-1000) the realm of Islam was the most civilized and progressive portion of the world. Studded with splendid cities, gracious mosques and quiet universities where the wisdom of the ancient world was preserved and appreciated, the Moslem world offered a striking contrast to the Christian West, then sunk in the night of the Dark Ages."

[Lothrop Stoddard, Ph.D (Harvard), American political theorist and historian, 1932]

"Medieval Islam was technologically advanced and open to innovation. It achieved far higher literacy rates than in contemporary Europe;it assimilated the legacy of classical Greek civilization to such a degree that many classical books are now known to us only through Arabic copies. It invented windmills ,trigonometry, lateen sails and made major advances in metallurgy, mechanical and chemical engineering and irrigation methods. In the middle-ages the flow of technology was overwhelmingly from Islam to Europe rather from Europe to Islam. Only after the 1500's did the net direction of flow begin to reverse."

[Jared Diamond, UCLA sociologist and Author, 1997]

"No other society has such a record of success in uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity and endeavour so many and so varied races of mankind. The great Muslim communities of Africa, India and Indonesia, perhaps also the small community in Japan, show that Islam has still the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great societies of the East and west is to be replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition."

[Hamilton Alexander Rosskeen Gibb, Professor at Harvard University, 1932]

“The Muhammadan Law which is binding on all -- from the crowned head to the meanest subject is a law interwoven with a system of the wisest, the most learned and the most enlightened jurisprudence that ever existed in the world.”

[Edmund Burke, British Statesman and Philosopher, 1789]

"The Exile here is not like in our homeland. The Turks hold respectable Jews in esteem. Here and in Alexandria, Egypt, Jews are the chief officers and administrators of the customs, and the king’s revenues. No injuries are perpetuated against them in all the empire. Only this year, in consequence of the extraordinary expenditure caused by the war against Shah Tahmsap al-Sufi, were the Jews required to make advances of loans to the princes."

[David dei Rossi, Jewish Traveller 17CE, quoted by Norman A. Stillman, The Jews of Arab Lands]

"The notable religious tolerance towards Christians and Jew under Muslim rule had given way to the uncompromising zealotry of Spanish Inquisition. Jews and Muslims thus fled Spain with large numbers of Jews immigrating to the Ottoman Empire which was known for its tolerance to the Jews."

[Graham Fuller, Author and former CIA, 1995]

“If there is much misunderstanding in the West about the nature of Islam, there is also much ignorance about the debt our own culture and civilization owe to the Islamic world. It is a failure, which stems, I think, from the straightjacket of history, which we have inherited. The medieval Islamic world, from central Asia to the shores of the Atlantic, was a world where scholars and men of learning flourished. But because we have tended to see Islam as the enemy of the West, as an alien culture, society, and systems of beliefs, we have tended to ignore or erase its great relevance to our own history”

[Charles Philip Arthur George, HRH The Prince of Wales, 1993]

"...Not being subject to the Sharia, Jews and Christians were free to go to their own religious authorities for adjudication of disputes; but in many cases they went instead to the [Muslim] Qadi"

[Richard W. Bulliet, Professor of History and Author, 2004]

"Here in the land of the Turks we have nothing to complain of. We possess great fortunes; much gold and silver are in our hands. We are not oppressed by heavy taxes and our commerce is free and unhindered. Rich are the fruits of the earth. Everything is cheap and each one of us lives in freedom. Here a Jew is not compelled to wear a yellow star as a badge of shame as is the case in Germany where even wealth and great fortune is a curse for a Jew because he therewith arouses jealousy among the Christians and they devise all kinds of slander against him to rob him of his gold. Arise my brethren, gird up your loins, collect up your forces and come to us."

[In his book 'Constantinople', Philip Mansel quotes a rabbi in Turkey writing to his brethren in Europe where they were facing increasing persecution after 1453]

"Praise be to the beneficent God for his mercy towards me! Kings of the earth, to whom his [the Caliph’s] magnificence and power are known, bring gifts to him, conciliating his favour by costly presents, such as the king of the Germans, the king of the Gebalim, the king of Constantinople, and others. All their gifts pass through my hands, and I am charged with making gifts in return. (Let my lips express praise to the God in heaven who so far extends his loving kindness towards me without any merit of my own, but in the fullness of his mercies.) I always ask the ambassadors of these monarchs about our brethren the Jews, the remnant of the captivity, whether they have heard anything concerning the deliverance of those who have pined in bondage and had found no rest."

[Hasdai Ibn Shaprut (915-990 CE) Jewish physician, chief minister of Islamic Caliphate in Cordova, 'The Jewish Caravan']

"In Baghdad there are about forty thousand Jews, and they dwell in security, prosperity, and honour under the great Caliph [al-Mustanjid, 1160-70 CE], and amongst them are great sages, the Heads of the Academies engaged in the study of the Law…’"

[Benjamin of Tudela, Rabbi in Baghdad in the year 1168 CE, 'The Jew in the Medieval World']

"Those Eastern thinkers of the ninth century laid down, on the basis of their theology, the principle of the Rights of Man, in those very terms, comprehending the rights of individual liberty, and of inviolability of person and property; described the supreme power in Islam, or Califate, as based on a contract, implying conditions of capacity and performance, and subject to cancellation if the conditions under the contract were not fulfilled; elaborated a Law of War of which the humane, chivalrous prescriptions would have put to the blush certain belligerents in the Great War; expounded a doctrine of toleration of non-Moslem creeds so liberal that our West had to wait a thousand years before seeing equivalent principles adopted.

[Leon Ostorog, French Jurist]

"The debt of our science to that of the Arabs does not consist in startling discoveries or revolutionary theories; science owes a great deal more to Arab culture, it owes its existence"

[Robert Briffault, Novelist and Historian, 1928]

"The only effective link between the old and the new science is afforded by the Arabs. The dark ages come as an utter gap in the scientific history of Europe, and for more than a thousand years there was not a scientific man of note except in Arabia"

[Oliver Joseph Lodge, Writer and Professor of Physics, 1893]

“Thus, when Muslims crossed the straits of Gibraltar from North Africa in 711 and invaded the Iberian Peninsula, Jews welcomed them as liberators from Christian Persecution.”

[Zion Zohar, Jewish scholar at Florida International University, 2005]

“Throughout much of the period in question, Arabic served as the global language of scholarship, and learned men of all stripes could travel widely and hold serious and nuanced discussions in this lingua franca. Medieval Western scholars who wanted access to the latest findings also needed to master the Arabic Tongue or work from translations by those who had done so.”
