Jordanian Hawks.

This post is to express a mish mash of thoughts, past and present, and a dream. The dream was of Buckingham palace, and above the Palace flew a flag bearing a crescent moon, at the time I felt it was highly unlikely, but I walked passed the Palace and down Birdcage past Wellington Barracks, and a voice said to me 'turn and look' and as I did there in the place the standard would blow on a windy day was a crescent moon, I thought it an odd coincedence. So I return to my thoughts, some years ago when I read of a group of soldiers in the reign of Abdullah of Jordan. I think Abdullah was the first King of Jordan after the Saud dynasty chased the sharrif of Mecca from the Holy City. They would decapitate their enemies, shrink the heads then play Polo with them. Some time ago while I was in a delusional state lacking food and sleep and thus intoxicated, I was walking past Chelsea Football Club whose firm in the 80's was called the headhunters, and with the Hurlingham club being not that far away I again thought of the Jordanian Hawks of whom I had read. Now then, if Islam is the religion of the future, and I'm sure it is, then this Kingdom is an Emirate of the Caliphate of Europe, and if people come into this Emirate or any other Emirate in building and try and bomb or kill innocent civilians, then I think that the model of the Jordanian Hawks is certainly one to ponder. If they are shot dead, then why not let the Horseguards play polo with their heads, when they have finished bury the heads with their bodies. Again another dark thought but hey I have quite a few.

Last night the Shaitan visited me.

I awoke in the night to feel a presence trying to mark my right hand. He said that I was recieving his mark, so I told him in no uncertain terms he was no friend of mine, and that I refused his mark as I knew what it meant, and signified. This morning I awoke did my wudu, and prayed my morning prayer. I do not need the mark of the beast to trade. I have knowledge of what it means, and that knowledge lead me to become muslim in 1993, I am hardly going to enter into a bargain with a shaitain after being freed from the slavery of Babylon 12 years ago. So what can I have done to bring the Christian shaitan to me? The only thing that I can think I did yesterday was read Sura Iklas over a man I believed might be dying. I tried to keep the old man close to me in the name of the God, but I felt that he may be drifting. I imagined that he was an Italian, whether from the Italian Temple in the north, or the Honourable society in the south. I imagined that as no priest was present a declaration of God's unity at the moment of dying might have released the old man from a whole life of incorrect indoctrination, free him to rest easily in his grave. If this old man had made a pact with someone, then that someone would not be very pleased with me that I released one who had been taught an incorrect doctrine. I'm sure that's why the shaitan visited me and tried to get me to enter into a bargain with him, even now I feel people thinking that I have the symbol of the sun in my right had, that of a crucified man, but I am muslim, my path to Islam that of a temple cleric, and in my right hand is the mark of no man, but the name of the infinite and absolute, Allah. Now the 'family' of this old man must elect a new leader from within their number, but it is now safe for them to know that the Temple is Islam, and so is the Honourable Society, from now on let water be poured over the brow, or a star with an utterance of Jehesuah, no longer a mark of a cross other than the cross of tetragrammaton, and let the words, there is no God but The God. Let the children of Adam grow in knowledge.

A nightmare.

I don't usually have nightmares, but I just had one that woke me with a chill. I heard a young voice from my left scream one word 'DADDY!!!!!!'. Now my own children with my beautiful wife are certainly under my right so Insha Allah it was not them, and if it was them may they be brought back to me safely by the angels of Allah. I have heard a voice from the right saying that concerning them I must remember Ibrahim, while a voice from the left mocks me and tell me to remember Job. However there is another possible explanation for the scream, I have long suspected that my seed may have been taken from me for IVF treatment, I declare love for any woman who may have used my seed in place of her husband should he have been infertile or if she did it with right intention, I make Dua that Allah provide them with souls and ruh as he does with any child, and that he preserve them.

Tunisia 1976

I walked quite a long way today. It was a pleasant day and I rambled on through the streets of London. I started to think about dreams I have, and the western liberal morality I inherited through my socialisation. Sometimes I have dark sexual desires and fantasies, and I beat myself up about them psychologically. Imam Al Ghazlai says that Allah never introduces and evil to a man other than he places a good within it, and a sufi friend of mine once said that sometimes honey is found in dark places. The thing is Allah has permitted man certain rights, and as a muslim these rights may not be in keeping with 20th century western morality, at least the public one. Earlier today I had this very discussion with an African brother, while a British brother made comments about MI6. He was alluding to the SIS building being a pyramid, I had to correct him that MI6 resembled a ship in my opinion, and if I am not mistaken at the inception of 5 and 6 one was predominately Army the other Navy, and thus one could even hazard a guess that SIS is in fact the ship itself, The prieure if you will, and the people working within are surely the extended firm/s. Surely the Windsors are the present firm, and 6 employees on the whole from the old firms. So after my long walk in the sun, I came home shattered and slept, awaking with the memory of something that has reoccured in my mind. It is a vivid dream memory of walking through a valley/wadi coming out into an arabic village. I am pretty sure that this did not happen as a man, I have a sense that I am somehow younger, and the only time I can place it could have been was during a trip to Tunisia aged 6 in 1976. 1976 had significance to me some years ago during a trip to Manchester, the town of my birth. I attended an Islamic meeting as I recall, and left some documents from the first gulf war that a friend had given to me in a diary. I had grown a connection with a man who died in the year of my birth, that being Alexander of Tunisia, Colonel in Chief of the Irish Guards, the Irish Guards motto 'Quis Separabit' being the motto of my preparatory school. On the mentioned trip to Manchester I was delivered to a position on the outskirts of the city the street bearing the name of my prep school, that being Holmwood, and it was as a home to me, and as I have said my wood is my bond. So as a muslim I must remember that had I been born a bedouin, I would not struggle with my morality; and recalling the opening title of my first post which was from the book 'Dune' and my pretensions to being Duke Paul Atriedes 'He will know your ways as if he was born to them'.

1 + 9 + 7 + 6 = 23 = 2 + 3 = 5

I don't do...

...Victorian values. The thing is that this isn't the reign of Victoria, and to be honest the Victorians didn't do Victorian values. I think that people will look back favourably on the Elizabethan era, and say, God willing, that the foundation of the future of these isles was laid during the reign of Elizabeth II.

Black eyes.

I keep seeing people with black eyes. I have seen them on and off over the years, at first I was a little scared, but hey like the hymn goes...'all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small'.

A tremor in the space time continuum.

As I was walking around yesterday I felt a tremor in the space time continuum. So I have to try and guess what it may have been. My guess is that maybe there was a ground burst nuclear explosion, very silly as we live on a fragile earth, but hey like the lyric is stings song 'one day in a nuclear age, they may understand our rage, build machines that they can't control, and bury the waste in a great big hole.' I am pretty sure if ET exists he would have been here at the speed of light after the 'Trinity' tests, can't have adam playing around with nukes capable of ripping space and time. Then today I had some Iranian idiot winding me up on the train, asking me 'did you help them?' I didn't know what he was talking about, but adding two and two in my mind maybe he was from the IAEA. Thing is I'm sure the Iranians have all the home grown help they need, and the wealth to procure the technology. Kind of puts a different slant on the middle east tho'.

Raphael.

It was a windy day today. When the wind blows I think of the Arch Angel Raphael. He is said to be the angle that governs the alchemical element of air, thus illumination, as opposed to Gabriel who governs water and is said to bring revelation.

I recall as a young child, around the age of 8, I was sat outside during a break, on such a windy day as today's. I recall vividly sitting and talking to myself,a voice spoke and said 'Is this wind cold' to which I replied 'A little', the voice then said to me 'Don't be cold, imagine this wind is sent by God to keep you warm' so I did, and I felt warmer.

Jahweh and Eloha

I've just been reading the Genesis story, and it has made me think about the two camps in what has come to be known as 'Judaism' but that which I prefer to call the religion of the Hebrews. In revelation it speaks of one who will blaspheme against God 'And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.' Now surely IHVH may be a god that dwells in Heaven, but as it is said 'if there were other gods would they not worship Eloha/Allah?' Like I have said there is a chance a city may descend, but be warned prior to this 'there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.' Remember what the serpent in Eden tricked man into eating, and have faith in the angels of Allah, and the God who has created the world, space, and the unseen world beneath his throne. Nothing has occured within creation without his will.

Londinium

Surely there is a Roman Catholic conspiracy. It is to make London seem like the city that rules over the kings of the earth, well they've had 2000 years. Thing is, that clearly Rome, and more specifically the Vatican State, what 'they' like to call the eternal city, has their plan. Question is who built London?? It was the Romans, whichever way they try and play this it's gonna come back to them. I mean the 'church' has been implicated in many things....

And as to the old school's of Britain, they sing Jerusalem, but there are no mills in London, and the old school prefers Al Qumran to Jerusalem. Metaphors ,metaphors.

(P.S. I read that the Pope is attempting to counter the revolution of Calvin and Luther so as to prevent further protestation i.e. when all the 'Christians' see how they have been imprisoned by Rome by the basic creed that permeates nearly all the people who 'follow' Jesus, what would the protestation be? 'All you have taught us of doctrine and creed is a lie!!!! Now cling to Jehesuah and his two commandments)

Sniffer Dog.

Well I had a wierd day today. I went to meet a heroin addict to take him to an NA meeting, but he didn't show. So as I was sat there suddenly I heard in my head the phrase 'Combat 18'. So off I went in a rage to 'Combat 18' which entailed going to the house of the vicar who had sent me into the Labyrinth 13 years ago, but that's a story of my bitterness, an unwise vicar, and what I'd guess to be an ex-army chaplain. So I started to think about 777 or Babylon, and so of course 07/07/2005. I recall some years ago watching that movie 'Who dares wins', now really the most interesting part for me as a teenager was the last scene, where the radicals 'strings' had been pulled from behind the scenes. Now as I have posted brothers at the left should make sure they know from where their strings are pulled. I got to thinking about reports I heard after the initial explosions, which ended very promptly. They entailed the use of whom were called 'White' Mercenaries', and a fact that the bombs had been made using military plastic. Then started to think...what if....there was an Ashkanasim ZOG agent in, for instance, C18. How could this be...it'd be easy...eastern european jewry intermarried with Orthodox/Catholic families, family connection maintained. Mossad need some negative PR in Britian against Islam, in fact hey the US need some negative PR against Islam re: a resolution against Iran etc, right wing radicals smuggle plastic into the UK. Surely puppets pull the strings of puppets who pull the strings of puppets who detonate bombs. If I was MI5 I'd be sending out a bulletin around europe asking about known right-wingers with family connection to the Zionist state, even if separated by a few degrees.

When I was 16...

...the cold war was still on. I was even offered a job in Electronic Warfare that would have entailed learning Russian, but do I speak Russian...do I 'eckers like. So a couple of years later I was sat a very posh table being waited upon, and post dinner talk commenced. It was prior to the fall of the Berlin wall, and yet the conversation was about the fall of the Soviet Union. People at the table obviously knew something was coming. I listened, then summed up the conversation under discussion thus 'Well if you want them never to return to communism the best way is when they fall to let them fall hard, so they blame their own system.' Heads turned toward me and a voice said 'Exactly'. I remember the first time I read Das Capital, I bought it with money I was given for my eighteenth birthday, was always struck by the quality of the critique and the comprehensive nature of the book. Still to this day, while not being a Marxist (rather Marxian) I find that I am informed by Marxist critique. So...'From each according to their ability, to each according to their need'. Something all my grandparents would have indoctrinated me with even if they didn't force Marx down my throat.

The missionary came with the bible in his hand.

Surely the missionary came with the bible in his hand, I don't have to tell you which hand, and he has used it to chain you. Now stop kissing the white mans butt, emancipate your mind from the chains the white man placed upon you, and be slaves of men no more. Be servants of the God.

Part 'company'.

I just had an American looking chap walk past and look at me with what I would think was probably best described as a sad look. If I could have put a 'word baloon' in a freeze frame it would be 'This is where we part company'. It would obviously be as a result of my two previous posts...ahh well, loose some old aquaintances...gain some new (or maybe not that new!!). As I was never on the payroll of 'The Company', merely liasing and as the song by Gloria Gaynor goes 'I will survive.' Insha Allah.

Setting the nations of East Asia against each other!

I was recently listening to a BBC radio show outlining problems in East Asia, primarily between China and Japan. There was of course that history book, and now it would seem that the US is positioning Japan against China in the region. About this UNSC thing Japan, surely you are a proud nation with a great history, but the Chinese are still hurt by your actions from the last century. Adopt the humility that must accompany pride and honour and offer the hand of friendship to your neighbours, do not be the puppets of a nation that left the people of two of your cities as little more than shadows on the ground. As Europeans we would not entertain the idea of Germany on the UNSC so quickly, and the issue I feel is comparable.

MAssaDa

Well about this Iran nuclear proramme thing. I personally think that Iran has a case for wanting Nuclear weapons. I mean in a perfect world, there'd be none of them, as fire is the punishment of Allah, but we are certainly not in a perfect world. A warning to the muslims would be that it is said that Pride belongs to Allah, and if one takes of that which belongs to Allah, then Allah will punish; thus be cautious in the use of Allah's punishment for it belongs to Allah alone. The UNSC was able to pass resolutions against Saddam primarily as a result of his aggression against his neighbours, and secondarily as he was producing weapons that could be used against said neighbours. So when did Iran invade a neighbour??? Now if I could speak directly to China, and probably also Russia I'd say that the US veto has been used time and time again to support a country that western powers assisted in procurring nuclear weapons, and I would ask them to follow their example when it comes to Iran. People will surely cry out 'This is MAD!!!' I reply exactly...Mutually Assured Destruction, and let me tell you the Israelis not only are not up to the standard of the Massada zealots, they are an insult to their memory. Let us hope negotiations can work.

(P.S. I'm sure the Chinese might even add to the West, we gave you people gunpowder and look what trouble you caused with that!!!!)

The blood is on all our hands.

I just watched the guy who had his lower leg blown off on the tube. Got me thinking about conversations I have had recently about the brothers who went to the left, may Allah forgive them. The first conversation I had with my brother in law and his friend who has recently arrived from Austria. They were criticising terrorists, and saying that it was not Islam. Thing is, and this post is directly to muslims for a change, while the majority of us do nothing some brothers will always find themself at the margins, and sometimes those margins will be at the left. If we address the issues motivating them as an Ummah, not dismiss them, then they will sit with us and we as an Ummah will move forward. I've been listening to the people rally against them, and surely most of them are for want of a better term, 'house niggers'. They may as well run around saying 'Yes Saab' in the Raj, or 'Yes Master' lest they have to say 'Yesum Boss' in a cotton field. That's how I see it anyway. The second conversation was with a Pakistani brother who runs a local shop, I said to him straight, if our lack of activity means brothers have to go to the left, then the blood of the dead is on all of our hands, and if a sin is recorded in the book of their left, then a sin may be recorded in all of our books.

Just in case anyone feels like defending....

...the Pagan Religions of Al Hind!!!!

'Bijnor, India: In a gruesome incident, a temple priest chopped the head of a eight year-old boy with a dagger to propitiate a deity by human sacrifice in a town in Bijnor district, police said on Thursday. The incident came to light when the boy hailing from Kalagarh was reported missing after he had gone to the shiv temple to play with his friends, police said. His body was later recovered from the nearby bushes. On interrogation, the priest confessed to the crime, police said adding the priest has been arrested.'

I never thought I'd say it but that kinda makes the paedophilia of the Roman Catholic Church seem mild!!!! Maybe mild isn't the term for a church which perpetuates a solar rite and teaches you to bow to the image of the beast, but hey you decide?

(As a post script...I don't mean to destroy your faith, I know I am shaking it, I really don't want to destroy it. God is still there, Jeheshuah is still a reality, so cling to his name, and obey his two commandments, Worship God, and try and love your neighbour as if he was yourself!!!!)

Microwaves!!!!

Was just walking down the street when my mobile phone lit up, felt the warmth through my leg. So either that is a really poor attempt at an assasination, or a relatively good shot at sterilisation. Thing is why would they want to do either??? Well in the first instance because they need my genes to mutate causing cancer aparently without cause, in the second coz there are loads of gorilla (or jealous chimps) who don't want this chimp to stud ;)

Planet of the APES!!!!

(P.S. As the song Woodstock goes 'we are stardust, we are golden, and we have to get ourselves back to the garden'...surely every electron, neutron, and proton within us has been forged in the stars!!! Bit of radiation hopefully won't do too much harm)

The Left The Middle and the Right.

Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem

'Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.'

Sura 2:143, Al Baqarah - The Cow

'And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). These will be those Nearest to Allah. In Gardens of Bliss: A number of people from those of old, And a few from those of later times. (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), Reclining on them, facing each other. Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: And with fruits, any that they may select: And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- Like unto Pearls well-guarded. A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,- In shade long-extended, By water flowing constantly, And fruit in abundance. Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. We have created (their Companions) of special creation. And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- For the Companions of the Right Hand. A (goodly) number from those of old, And a (goodly) number from those of later times. The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? (They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water, And in the shades of Black Smoke: Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please: For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury), And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme! And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?- (We) and our fathers of old?" Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times, All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known. Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!- Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum. Then will ye fill your insides therewith, And drink Boiling Water on top of it: Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!" Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital! It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth? Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,- Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not. And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises? See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground? Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause? Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment, (Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing): Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)" See ye the water which ye drink? Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We? Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks? See ye the Fire which ye kindle? Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it? We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts. Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme! Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,- And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,- That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable, In Book well-guarded, Which none shall touch but those who are clean: A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem? And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false? Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,- And ye the while (sit) looking on,- But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,- Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,- Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)? Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah, (There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights. And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand, (For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand. And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong, For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water, And burning in Hell-Fire. Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly. So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.'

Sura 56:7-96, Al Waqi'a - The Event

'Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion. Such are the Companions of the Right Hand. But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand. On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).'

Sura 90:17-20, Al Balad - The City

Onward!!! (and Upward)

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,With the star of Je'shuah going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go!

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the star of Je'shuah going on before.

At the sign of triumph the host of Iblis doth flee; On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the star of Je'shuah going on before.

Like a mighty army moves the temple of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the star of Je'shuah going on before.

What the saints established that I hold for true. What the saints believèd, that I believe too. Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold, Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the star of Je'shuah going on before.

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the temple of Je'shuah constant will remain. Gates of hell can never gainst that temple prevail; We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the star of Je'shuah going on before.

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud and honour unto Christ the King, This through countless ages men and angels sing.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the star of Je'shuah going on before.

(P.S. Let Al Quds and Bilad As Shams return to the Deen of Islam!!!)

The Priory

Well look I'm posting about 'The Priory' again. But there is good reason for it, I work quite close to the Priory of the English Tongue of the Knights Hospitaller and St.John. There is a flag above the Priory, which bears a resemblance to the flag of Switzerland, and of course there is a place called Sion in Switzerland, the bank in Brown's 'Da Vinci code' was Swiss, and of course as the Evian advert proclaims 'le secret c'est dans les alpes'. Thing is you don't need a fancy key, the key of the temple of Solomon will do....

'In and Out'

'I was walking down the street one day...'

actually today and a van pulled in front of me bearing the company name of 'in or out' (whether this company actually exists or not is moot!!!) So anyway it brought a wry smile to my face, and I pondered the phrase as if it were a question posit. I imagine a sly old man (ok ok less of the old I hear you say, how about 'prime of life!!) with a wry smile also telling someone 'well if you want to know the answer to that question you had better find a clever way of doing it!' So I guess after all the trouble I am obliged to answer. In my mind I walk casually along the edge of Green Park, and when asked 'In or Out' I reply 'No No my dear chap its 'In and Out''

'Laugh...I nearly shat...'

British Knights

I was in Mallorca this summer staying with my mother, and on the BBC it described a game of rugby played between British Asians and a Jewish team which had the darned cheek to call themselves 'British Zions'...the damned cheek of it!!!! As Zion, the cornerstone, Jeheshuah came odd on 2000 y.a. and not many Jews I know accept him as Messiah using the name Zion and British together is a incitement....'s truth. I was working at that Live 8 thing, and executed a tackle on a fence jumper, which has inspired me to take up Rugby at college. Now if I was to gather a team together of my contemporaries what would I call it....well it would have to be British Knights ;)

Considering murtad.

I was discussing today with a French colleague the phenomena of 'muslims' becoming christian. This is considered a serious crime in the religion of Islam, but I am minded to attempt to moot an opinion. A child is born with Fitrah, thus can be said to be muslim as it is said all of nature is muslim, without thought or knowledge if you will. For an adult to be a muslim however, there is a requirement to utter the shahadah, and for this to be more than just movement of the lips. For the shahada to have any relevance it must be supported by a good and correct understanding of Tawheed, that being the basis of Islamic monotheism. Thus there are probably many people born in Muslim countries with l'air of the deen of Islam who are not muslim at all, as they lack the requirement of knowledge to validate their kalima. My French colleague was telling me that he knew 'muslims' that had become Christian, to which I replied that he could not, he of course argued the point that he did, to which I replied that if they were able to become Christian, then they lacked the intellectual requirements to be muslim, and thus had not left the deen of Islam, they had never been muslim in the first instance, other than as a child and in the same way as the tree, the earth, the sun, moon, and stars.

In the name of the Rose

I recently watched the movie of the book by Umberto Eco, where a wandering English monk enters a vatican library and discovers conspiracy etc., suprise suprise. Made me think of approaching the Vatican library in a big pair of boots, giving the middle finger to the swiss guards, saying 'In the Name of the Rose', and kicking in the door. At the same time I was reading that 'Da Vinci Code' book, and the author said that the keystone would be under a rose, kinda made me think about the Royal Arch, the tribe of Zabulon, and the cornerstone of the temple, Jeheshuah, the reconciling pentagram, and all of those with his name written on them.

Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem

"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things. (Lit is such a Light) in houses, which Allah hath permitted to be raised to honour; for the celebration, in them, of His name: In them is He glorified in the mornings and in the evenings, (again and again)."

Sura 24:35-36, Al Nour - The Light
