MAGNA CARTA AND THE END OF THE POLITICAL CLASS by Shaykh Abdalqadir al-Sufi

Posted June 23, 2014 on www.shaykhabdalqadir.com

The worst result has occurred in the issue of the trial of the men accused of terrorism. The trial was ordered to be held in camera, that meant in private unwitnessed by citizens or media. The evidence and the summation withheld from the people. The excuse was ‘national security’ – as yet undefined even in the law justifying the principle. The laws destroying the great and up until then honoured foundation of British society was enacted under a Prime Minister now revealed as a mentally unstable psychopath. Worse than his madness was his slavish obedience to the financial masters of Britain since 1945, the U.S.A. The laws that dismantled the great defining document of civic freedom, the Magna Carta were direct copies of the set of laws by which America dismantled the legal framework of the Founding Fathers.

At appeal the affair was decided by Lord Gross who declared that the sensitive matter (the evidence on which they stood accused) should be held in camera but that the rest of the trial (an inhibited defence) could proceed in public.

Who is Lord Gross? This is a man who attended South Africa’s most prestigious Jewish school, Herzlia, and then presumably turned his back on the injustices of apartheid to find a high place in English law. Now, having disdained the inhumanity of the South African regime, he sits in authority on an English bench and first pays lip-service to Magna Carta then smashes it in his judgement.

The accused will still stand judged on an unheard evidence. This doubly weakens civic society, for one group can now argue that the accused were victims of agents provocateurs and it was this that had to be concealed from the citizens.

If this fundamental and primal law of civic society is as it now is both traduced and then rejected – what, we must ask is of worth? What merits security? Or is it that national security is a euphemism for a national prison of its inhabitants.

As if to cover the open crime of Lord Gross, traitor to English justice and to his own people who were slaughtered in their million by the simple original mechanism of arrest without trial, the Prime Minister declares the traduced law a basis of our intrinsic values.

In Israel Cameron grovelled for acceptance, declaring that his family had jewish blood. An Israeli general walked out, declaring:

‘That cuts no ice! He thinks we think like Hitler thought we thought.’

Cameron’s loud affirmation of our ‘basic values’ in the middle of a campaign of denigration aimed at Muslim British citizens held up Magna Carta just as the shameful Law Lord was destroying it. Well, here, it is a Muslim leader and a Scot defending it and now to teach the poor man about values.

Let us call things by their proper names.

We take our definition from ‘The Shorter Oxford Dictionary, Vol. 2’.

Value: Middle English and Old French.

That amount of some commodity, medium of exchange, etc., which is 

considered to be an equivalent for something else.

The material or monetary worth of a thing: the amount at which it may be 

estimated in terms of some medium of exchange or other standards of a 

like nature.

Therefore to establish justice in our commonwealth, the proposal of this loyal Scottish Muslim citizen is that the political-class which invented should now abolish VALUE-ADDED-TAX since to tax value surely is to de-value.

CROWN AND CIVIL SOCIETY – THE CROSSROADS by Shaykh Dr Abdalqadir al-Sufi

[Taken from www.shaykhabdalqadir.com]

In Britain a legal decision has been taken that represents an absolute severing of the most fundamental element in what has been our boast for eight hundred years. Again and again the governance of Britain has been called to account over centuries and tested in this matter. First monarchy, then parliament, and then in that wedding of crown and people that became the renowned compromise between monarchy and a two tiered parliament – one elected by the masses and the other a hereditary land-owning house of correction and honing of common law – which was to become a praised model across Europe. At the end of the twentieth century the unbalanced socialist premier put the final marker on the House of Lords, already fatally wounded by the decision to create life-peers chosen by government. Opposed by Lord Cranbourne, direct descendent of Queen Elizabeth I’s ruling family, the Cecils, the hereditary principle was abolished, reducing the second chamber to an extension of the Commons. Thus one chamber government in effect destroyed the British Constitution.

The weakening of parliamentary government was exacerbated by the slow restructuring of Commons’ practice following World War II. The Conservatives were reformed from a gentry-based farming party to a new-rich business party while the socialists moved from being a trade-union based workers’ party to being an Americanised middle-class party.

The new century saw the gradual surrender of Britain to what, 1945 had made clear, was the new role of post-industrial Britain, a financial clearing-house under American control. It was this transfer that was the real explanation of the otherwise inexplicable entry of Britain into military adventures, first in Iraq, then in Afghanistan. This entrapment in turn led to a series of changes in the law which radically redesigned the British legal system. With the new and undefined concept of ‘national security’, directly following America’s path to abandonment of its own past, Britain’s civil order began to unravel.

Now, with the new situation, Britain stands to lose its long heritage of protected liberty, and that means to break the tie that binds monarchy to people.

Before defining this affair it is vital to put on record that it is in no way an oblique defence of the men on trial. I am, over years, on record opposed to the follies of political Islam and its bastard offspring, terrorism. What is at issue is the decision to hold a trial in absolute secrecy, on grounds of national security. Further, let us put on record our disgust that the jewish law Lord, Lord Carlile, has spoken in its favour. That is something that for a modern jew is shameful, for it was such a decision in Germany that ended with an unchallenged mass genocide.

Our great guide in all matters of civil society’s health and preservation, the noblest and most important voice of the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Ferguson, spoke clearly. He said:

We must admire, as the key-stone of civil liberty, the statute which forces the secrets of every prison to be revealed, the cause of every commitment to be declared, and the person of the accused to be produced, that he may claim his enlargement, or his trial, within a limited time. No wiser form was ever opposed to the abuses of power. But it requires a fabric no less than the whole political constitution of Great Britain, a spirit no less than the refractory and turbulent zeal of this fortunate people, to secure its effects.

It is nearly the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, which alongside specific laws relating to land tenure, and kingly obligations, laid out a clear law assuring an accused person a trial in public hearing before his peers. Today it is about to be rescinded.

If these prisoners are tried in camera, in secret, and unwittnesed it will reverberate throughout Britain and indeed, the world. It will break Parliament’s bond with the British people, and worse, it will end justification for a monarchy indifferent to this essential human mark of liberty.

SYRIA – THE WORLD’S FEVER CHART by Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir al-Sufi

Posted on September 1, 2013 on www.shaykhabdalqadir.com

Helpless, though we certainly are as individuals before the sordid slaughter of the Shi’a family dictator’s fight for survival in Syria – it does not mean that we can not learn from it about the current state of world power. It gives us a reading on the condition of Russia, of China, of Britain and of the American republic’s collapse.

Russia. The world can now observe that after its disastrous attempt to engineer a technological society run by a pragmatic elite of politicians, bureaucrats and technicians, its whole governed by a rigid psychotic, it has blundered into a tiny oligarchic rule this time controlled by a below-stairs ex-KGB man. Putin is a man at the bottom of the pile, catapulted to a leadership that for a historical moment made him seem capable of the task. But, uneducated both culturally and politically, he has survived on cynical pragmatism doomed to be swept aside by the first Tartar star to rise in the east. The brutalism of his approach to Syria is clear to the Russian people. He fails to grasp that Stalin survived by his endless cold passion for the games of politics. He was an ascetic from a seminary. Putin is a man without background, his foreground now crammed with wealth. He is a push-over. It will come sooner than later.

Pakistan's Present, its Future and Imran Khan

Elections are well on their way in Pakistan and the tumult that is the norm of the country's political atmosphere has increased accordingly. New characters have entered the stage. Some represent the continuity of the civilian party politics headed by an increasingly dismal political class. Others remain a mystery and the cause and ultimate effect of their cathartic role remain to be seen. At least one relatively new player holds with him the promise of change in the face of incredible odds. The current narrative holds within it two potential directions and with it follows the unfolding story of what is a great country and an even greater people.

In one of these directions a deus ex machina can squeak onto the stage, hanging clumsily from political strings that no longer hold the strength they once did, pretending to unravel a difficult situation with ease while changing nothing. The other is a character in the mould of a Fortinbras, respectful of the great inner conflict of a young nation and ready to take the land to a new chapter.
