The Labour government scapegoats the Muslim community to hide foreign policy disaster Wednesday, 22 November 2006 Tony Blair's admission that the war in Iraq has been a 'disaster' finally brings some realism to the British Government's absurd denials over it's failed policy with America in invading and occupying Iraq. The obvious cue for this admission has come with George W Bush's domestic election losses as his Republican party lost control over both Houses of Congress largely because of the Iraq war. With local council elections looming early next May, New Labour must fear that it's turn must be next.

They sensationalised the story with shadowy reconstructions and sinister background music. They proved their insincerity by not checking the truth of the allegations beforehand. If they had bothered they would have found many of the specific allegations immediately proved false. The response to this programme from Muslims, and indeed many non-Muslims, was a total rejection of these allegations. Add comment (2)   Book Review: Londonistan.

Instead, Tony Blair has adopted the neo-conservative mantra that it is Islam that is the problem. We have compiled key intelligence reports and political statements which have conclusively proven that the governments of the west is where the problem lies.

Tony Blair has promised the Home Office agenda will take centre-stage in the Queen's speech this year. In particular new measures on security may be announced. What the newspapers say: "Tony Blair has put the Home Office at the centre of next month's Queen's Speech, partly in order to boost Dr Reid's profile against Chancellor Brown. Dr Reid is dealing with incredibly sensitive areas, ranging from immigration to terrorism." [Daily Mail, October 7th] "The Home Secretary fuelled speculation that a fresh anti-terrorism Bill will be announced in the Queen's Speech next month as he tried to turn the fire on the Tories and Liberal Democrats for opposing controversial measures designed to crack down on extremists. He told MPs: "I want stronger powers to detain and control; I want stronger powers to deport." [Independent, October 19th]   "This month's Queen's Speech looks set to contain legislation allowing national security to be weighed against concerns about torture. This would make it possible to send people back to countries where they risk torture - an extraordinary development in 21st-century Europe. More extraordinary still is the insistence that nothing in British attitudes has really changed." [Steve Crawshaw, Independent, November 2nd]   "But it is likely that a third piece of legislation which is designed to consolidate all the many different emergency laws to deal with terrorism since 2000 will prove the most difficult for Mr Blair to get through parliament. Gordon Brown hinted strongly this week that they will come back with a further extension of the 28 days without-charge detention powers of the police, if Scotland Yard can make a strong enough case for doing it; and the attorney-general, Lord Goldsmith, has also made clear that the introduction of phone tap evidence in organised crime trials is firmly on the agenda. It promises to provoke fierce clashes over the balance between security and liberty, with Gordon Brown's newfound interest in a written constitution making for an interesting new twist to the civil liberties debate."

The horrific circumstances surrounding the case have brought about a huge amount of media interest not only upon the individuals involved, but the Muslim community in general. Meanwhile, four other Muslims are standing trial for the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky. Although the trial has not ended, the case has highlighted a problem that exists within our community.

Add comment (3)   The Khilafah and the Indian Subcontinent Wednesday, 08 November 2006 Abu Ismael al-Beirawi It is assumed by some that the Muslims and their scholars did not react to the call for the abolishment of Khilafah and that they did not realise its significance. This is untrue, history is a testament to the reaction of the Muslims, their struggle to maintain it and their pain at the eventual removal of the shade of Allah (swt) from the earth. The example of the Muslims of India and its renowned Khilafat Movement demonstrates this.

The allegations have not been backed by evidence, rather the administration has cited that it’s evidence remains 'classified'. However Hezbollah apart from being a military organisation, is also a grassroots political party already holding two cabinet positions. Thus America's accusations of Hezbollah meddling in Lebanese politics come across as slightly absurd to say the least. Whatever the veracity of these claims, it is remarkable that of all the governments in the world, the American regime has the audacity to accuse others of meddling and interference in other nation’s affairs.
