So, the world’s favourite teenager Malala Yousafzai can now add a Nobel Peace Prize to the Taliban bullet as things she has famously received and which qualify her as a global political sage. Does her talent for passively receiving things ever end?
Perhaps Yousafzai might next get run down by a lorry driven by a White Supremacist and immediately become spokesperson for Western race-relations.
I don’t enjoy having to use this silly tone to speak of someone so young. I must use it though because feelings are being demanded of me that I don’t have. I am being ordered to feel awe for someone who hasn’t achieved anything and who is being fattened by book-deals and political funds.
The institution responsible for the latest cheque in Yousafzai’s swelling bank account comes as no great shock. The Nobel Peace Prize committee has suffered for many years now from a dire lack of credibility. Ever since the awarding of the honour to (the then virginal) President Barack Obama, the honour has had a light, floaty, cosmetic feel to it – almost as if it was a means of political expression rather than of reward.
The choice of Yousafzai belongs undoubtedly to the same downward trend.
I should clarify that I don’t have anything personal against Malala. Or at least no more than I have against professional psychics, internet healers or astrologers. She is the kindly target of a storm of stupid emotion. That’s all. It’s not something I can either encourage or endorse.
Nevertheless, it has been uncomfortable to witness people I respect (friends among them) fall for Yousafzai’s sweet-smelling hypnotic. There have even been arguments put to me that I am somehow ‘jealous’ of the political starlet, or that I resent her for other base motivations. That is the purest nonsense. Malala is obviously cashing in at a furious pace, but this is no more offensive to me than the success of any other celebrity. What does miff me is that while Victoria Beckham or Miley Cyrus do not (rightly) enjoy either moral respect or political credit, Malala receives them by the bucketload. And for what?
If Yousafzai truly wanted to earn the respect and power she already possesses, she would leave Britain and return to her native Pakistan. She would stand as a Pakistani MP or set up a local organisation dedicated to the right of children to attend school there.
What possible use can she be to her professed cause in Birmingham or New York? The West is in no need of being lectured on the right of education. We already have that in place and have for some time.
Perhaps behind all the public virtues presented by Ms Yousefzai there is just a normal girl growing steadily accustomed to the pleasures of money, silk curtains and chauffer driven limousines.

You are exactly right about the Nobel. It’s just another feather in the cap for desperate seekers of good PR. I think Malala, with her winsome smile and girlish charm, has pulled off a coup. Ayaan Hirsi Ali deserved the award far more than this kid, but Hirsi had the temerity to renounce islam—something Malala will never do, and for a good reason. Of course, this makes a mockery of the whole Nobel credibility but that’s nothing new. They have yet again carefully avoided offending the hungry crocodile that is islam.

A symbol manufactured by the Western political & media elite to as if to say to the Muslim World: “Come on guys, treat your women better”.
But, because the reason women are not treated better is not made explicit, Muslim fundamentalists in Pakistan imply that she as a symbol is an implicit attack on their precious ideology. It annoys them and makes their major allies, the conservative Muslims in Pakistan, to go into a conspiracy theory frenzy.
For this reason alone, I like her. (And personally, she seems to be a nice girl)

Interesting to hear your viewpoint. I worry that Malala will evolve into an icon of ‘Moderate Islam’ and thereby create the impression that reform in Islam is possible.

Malala is becoming of an age where she should read directly about her religion and so more directly understand her iman and ulama..
At a risk of having converts, the koran should be COMPLETELY read by all. Even muslims in their so called refuge countries should do so.
Just prior to that, find out, go ahead and google for CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER of how it is written, and then read it in that manner, then see where Mohammad gives effect to the “ABROGATION” and the directions from Allah through Mohammad chronologically trumps all else. Take note of where the abrogation occurs.
It just depends on where a person stops reading the koran, but a true believer can not truly deny where he continues to the end, the final trumping, by abrogation, of commands and how it is written, and then so read it in that manner.
(that is how the imans and ‘Ulama’ – Islamic scholars interpret and use the koran)
That way “abrogation” as ordered by Mohammad, will make sense.
That will give you a better context, so it sort of makes more sense, even through there is a lot of repetition and a bit tedious.
Only an afternoons reading.
Great for further discussion over a cup of coffee, water cooler, etc. as people are hungry for facts. Ring out the truth, it does not need embellishment, just small sound bytes to discuss, just like a small hand bell.
For further consideration to the trilogy of the koran, there are sira and hadith, which muslims should base their lives on, which the IS undoubtedly does.
Malala will become a very well rounded girl, maturing to woman hood if she will read the whole trilogy. After all she is all for the freedom that education should bring.
We will know one way or the other too, if she has read even just the koran.

I fear their could be a risk with English hate speech laws, so discretion may be required. Even the actual truth does not protect you. As for the cost Elizabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff paid, even though she was able to get that verse to be able to be said in public in Austria.
What will eventually is when many people have read it and are aware. That is what happened and activated the reformation period to protestant religions and reformed the RC church as well. Reform for Islam means it goes back to the base, of Mohammad himself.
The more that is known then it will be spoke about, and increasing numbers will understand some of the issues.So we must keep at it, so like a police man begins to get it, a few soldiers get it, then a sergeant, a lawyer, perhaps if we are lucky maybe a few journalists, and then an editor or 2.
As it spreads and in some parts goes up the chain, it will be harder to shut down the truth.
The other effect is that when one has read the trilogy, you really feel a visceral sickness of what the tv, celebrities, apologists, even more than just the bad news of what is coming out.
Still it would be good to encourage many others to obtain a copy, find the chronological order, and in a sense meet like a book club, with people you can trust.
Once you understand it, as you do, we need many more to know what is in the koran, hadith and sira

Spot on. The recent speech by Theresa May at the Tory conference suggested that they’re planning to clamp down further on free speech in the UK (despite the fact that she spoke of free speech being a British value in the same speech, oh the irony). There are thousands of people spreading the truth on the internet, they cant arrest everyone. The problem is that nearly any objective comment about Islam will violently offend some Muslims, so you have to exclude Islam from freedom of speech altogether in order to prevent disorder.

At some of those dawa out reaches at times, I wonder if there would be opportunity to obtain free korans.
Then number the surah (chapters?) in the chronological order, to be read and an emphasis on the abrogation verses. Sure it is a risk, Keep it simple so it is not altering thing in the koran, It is their truths.
Although at this stage may be a photocopied form paper clipped in. Just trying to get past the concept of damaging the koran 🙂 compared to a latter stage of stapled or pasted.
Even for muslims them selves.It is the truth; and maybe it is too soon and could be claimed to be damaging the koran, would make a very interesting court case.
Even eventually maybe an angle of publishing a reformatted koran, in that chronological order.
Yes, the internet has been great to get the information and for spreading the truth. I still feel it is best from the horse’s mouth the koran, and though tedious. It is so much more understandable when in chronological order, and in a sense gives much more context.
Any more ideas of this ” read the koran chronologically” would be appreciated.

Yes, the establishment is being taking over and trying to shut down free speech.
Appreciate your concerns of law changes and focus in UK
Certainly makes one wonder if many other British would quote and chant from the Koran?, as if in total agreement with moslems, while seeming to read the koran. They can not deny the truth, particularly as you can then use the “abrogation ” verses and many other verses that point out that you can not change the meaning of what Allah gave to Mohammad.
Like one good verse, then a verse that abrogates it.
But Muslims will say it is out of context. To complete this list you need to show a tafsir for each verse that usually comes from a hadith.
Knowing this, we will not be taken in by those rat bag advisors to our politicians and media, and it is impossible for them to dispute.
However I want to do is to keep it simple, and try and develop a formula that is full proof, and easy enough for us to understand and absorb.
With a koran on hand, with the chronological order paper clipped in (or pasted or stapled, be careful as it may damage said koran 🙂 ) to show the policeman, and /or down at the police station, that they would wish to use as evidence against you in a court of law.
Just when to do this in the UK I do not know, though I would like many others to know by reading up on the koran in the style as I first commented. People unknown to us, “further up the chain” perhaps better to front on tv and media may take a lead. Then also the general public will know where you are coming from in using the koran in this manner. That is so they are not just cast off as a nutter ( ok always a risk of a nutters) and more support will be available, like letters to papers, talk back radio, and hopefully all sane people talking of the koran, and no blaspheming 😉 . Just look at the comment zone on some newspaper sites that happens now.
We need to get it past not only the personal level, but also directly to the ideological level, of just what is in the koran, the recognized undeniable basis of islam. Later also evaluate the keys the hadith and sira and then read so they that can also be used.
That is why with these new laws coming to a place near you, it would be good to expose the koran as it truthfully meant to be, and I figure that it will not stand up to scrutiny. Nor will the rest of the trilogy.
In a quiet hope I even want the muslims to understand this and so that some of them have the chance to turn their back on islam. That can really develop into another topic, though I am hoping Malala does get it, and in due time, will take some time to sink in and then even more time on how to come out about it.
Any way small steps to start with as I see some people are becoming hungry for the actual facts in these turbulent times. Nor do I want people to get into trouble or go beyond where they are at. Knowledge gives power, and at some stage I hope with some skill and thought, cohesively come together for gentle strong action, to open this “can of worms”
Thank you DtMW for letting me hone my thoughts on these problems, and also ScrappTheBBC for making me think on any hitches.

I think we need to think about this struggle in 2 levels:
First level is among the already aware, to increase our knowledge of subjects like the chronology and abrogation as you mentioned. Dr Bill Warner seems to have done a good analysis of this.
Second level though is just as important, possibly more so. This is what to say to the mass of people who are currently ignorant or indifferent about Islam (I fear there are many of them and many of them are Muslims). This
needs to target really simple points that stand out on their own.
A problem is that there are also some pretty violent things in the Old Testament – i.e. Christianity and Judaism are both affected. So such a debate can get bogged down even though Christ’s message probably abrogates these things as it comes later. So comes the response – why single out Islam only then? So we need a point to which there can be no comeback, as follows.
The prophet is the most perfect man, so everything he did must be ok then. Like when he took as a sex slave a woman who he had just bereaved (father, brothers, husband killed). This is apparently the incident most likely to wake up a Muslim (especially a woman) to the problems of their religion. It really stands out on its own as abominable, no context could defend it. Actually I think there were more than one instance of this as well. Then you can point to the fact that the Yazidi women are being treated in exactly this way by IS, right now. Very short argument, clearly Jesus never did anything like this either. I fear there may be things a bit similar to this event in the Old Testament, but Islam makes it personal, its an action of the final prophet, the most perfect man.
Of course we can go on and on, massacre of Banu Qurayza, marriage to Aisha, these are events that also stand out on their own, context cannot defend them. To reform the religion you would have to start by demolishing the perfect man belief, but the whole house of cards would quickly collapse if you did that, because this is enshrined in the Koran, the message from Allah. Malala, Maajid Nawaz and the rest have nothing to offer the world until they renounce it.

Thank you., scrapTheBBC
Malala, Maajid Nawaz and etc.,You are right, and I would not pin my hopes on any of them., well perhaps Malala in the future perhaps, as she is young and feisty. I would figure she is controlled by her liberal muslim family and probably “minders” at this stage. If she is honest as she as appears, then eventually she will read all of the koran, taking in the abrogation and perhaps some of the sira and hadiths. I believe it will take time for it to soak in, a time frame of 2- 3+ years. She will then either turn or double down and become an apologist.
If she turns, already she is aware of being a target of the taliban type and will also be aware of Salmon Rushdie’s problems. Whether to keep her head down, and at this stage may be wise, gather and control her resources such as her share of the $1.4m (£860,000) pounds in prize money, which means she may be come more free and independent, or will the money be frittered away, even if on so called worth while causes?.
Also she risks being shunned and shut down by the media show, that fawn over her at the moment, until, if she changes. Still who knows and I figure with in 5 years or so and maybe we may see some small/hint sign of change, as she grows up and past the “accustomed to the pleasures of money, silk curtains and chauffer driven limousines”.
Maajid Nawaz, of quilliam I do not like, and as you say nothing to offer. At least Mo Ansor was exposed by Tommy Robinson for what he was.
There will be many twists and turns, even for us, as we live learn, pressures and life is still to be lived. To keep to principles and the truth is not always easy, and I like to think we keep trying to do so, despite all our foibles.
As an aside;- Last night saw an interesting movie “The Apostle” written, directed by and starring Robert Duvall, for an interesting relaxing aside, showing life is to be lived too, for all of ones foibles, and other missions in life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apostle
http://criminalmovies.blogspot.co.nz/2010/09/apostle.html gives a whole readable plot line and character development so it has a lot of “spoilers”.
In the mean time, yes concentrate and work out what little we can do, to be most effective.
I am aware of Bill Warner, and seen some of his videos. You make me consider to focus and follow up more so and copy up some of those notes from him. Also I must gather more resources, that are easy and short, to the point like you mention.
I do have a blog, that just gathers general information, that interest me and for me to refer too at a later time. It is rare for me to me to put my point of view, only occasionally making a point of drawing attention to certain points of a post.
The things that I think may be very contentious, I leave in draft form. It is sort of my repository of background information. Having had some nasty comments targeted at me at one stage.so am a lot more privacy and security conscious on the net.
I also copy all the comments that I make now, on some other blogs back to the draft in my blog, so it is easy for me to find again and review them, and sometimes redraft and improve for future use, and use on some other blogs when the post is suitable.
All is a learning curve, in computers, typing up and then refining what I am trying to express. Also even the act of writing , correct English, grammar and punctuation to get across what I really want to be understood.Then in doing so, my own thinking and understanding takes on more learning, at least I hope so.
This making comments does take a lot of time 🙂 though practice should help to become faster and the thinking involved does sharpen you up, particularly when commentators like you aid in the honing and fine tuning.
Oh I do know I can talk too much or the comments can be come too long, but in certain areas I think it is good, as others help show where the true focus is.
I do more to the point comments as many only want to read sound-byte explanations, on some other blogs.
You are right on the 2nd level.
I have found from the biblical point, what was the most violent thing that Jesus ever did. ? He overturned and whipped the money lenders, no broken bones,, no flow of blood, and they were allowed to escape, so did not receive that many blows per lender. and if they fell over, were not stood over and hit mercilessly. It was done to prove a point, but can one show that it means Jesus was a violent man?
Now what did Mohammad do???
As touched upon in earlier comments, with changes in Christian/church reformation. The church had eventually took a life of it’s own, with finding wealth and power and being able to control by being the sole interpreter of the bible, prior to the printing press. People can still take use power and manipulation over others, but the basis if freely read is the bible, “That will set you free” as that is what Jesus tries to guide one to with your own free choice.
What does the koran say? and mean about Peace?
Another point was the stoning of adulterers, When Jesus happened on this situation, with the women about to be stoned, although he did not change the old testament law, he changed the back ground of thinking and applying it, by saying “Those who have no sin, can throw the first stone” and on total reflection, no one could. That is sort of what changed the thinking for how to see the old testament.
Now what did Mohammad do?
When put to people, I find that many do not know what Mohammad did, and commands all his followers to do,- and that the general public in the west believe that some muslims have got it wrong. and the guidelines of koran is all peace.
Yet it is the only religion that does not believe in the Golden Rule of “Do unto others as you would wish to be done to you”. Another abrogation the bible has that over comes “the eye for an eye” idea.
Not long ago I was at a dinner table of a dozen people that a discussion came up about world’s happenings with terrorism. A fair share of liberal people. I drew back from some that wanted to “slam dunk” all muslims, and a lot of argument with multi culture type, debate and multi conversations. At a certain point , as best as I could, sort of the cuff, drawing on the koran, about the chronological order and abrogation, and comparing old and new testament, (there were no Christians and nor did I want to preach to them) I realized that everybody was listening to what I was saying, even though I was talking passionately, and answering their questions from all round the table
Afterwards being surprised to be the centre of constructive debate, I realized they were hungry to know what? and how? drives muslim thinking. Sure they know of said “radicals” = bad. As you and I know if I may presume , that it is a difficulty of defining good and bad muslims and in whose eyes, . That part is not essential and is really for another time.
It was they who wanted to know what was islam, and were very surprised when I kept relating to the koran and how it was to be read.
The overall tone of questions to me, was not disparaging, but can that be right?, is that for real? where did you get that from? that can not be right? Islam was great for the knowledge that they gave to Europe, etc. and Crusaders did this and that.
For me I did not want to get involved with the politics of right and wrong, left or right politics, but just the bare truth from the koran that shows Mohammad for what he really was and for them to figure the rights and wrongs.
Later queries to me seems to be back on the basis of what made the koran and mohammad, so it seems that is the right track, as also you and I seem to be.
This link, where you can see this apostate in the 2nd half of the transcript says exactly the same thing, and very succinctly. “the problem itself is in the Islamic books”
http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2014/10/17/he-was-hamas-royalty-then-he-spied-for-israel/
Some how has got past the self censor of her and CNN, and I admit I do not care for her and her ways.
Some other blogs are not so receptive so I want to hone the message as you say
“This needs to target really simple points that stand out on their own.” and to become even more succinct.
And not to be side tracked to other issues, though I feel in a general conversation I can hold my own as face to face, people will take it in, even if on other issues as did occur with comparing the bible at the dinner table.
It is the trolls on blogs, that just keep side tracking to off topics and attacking on blog comments, so to stay on topic and always succinct.

When she has time to read, to study, to contemplate, the very foundations of her religion, may take some time as it has to work through her very being, her family, relatives, imans, and liberals that are riding on her coat tails.
At a certain point, then she has to start to make some decisions, some will be “baby steps”, some will be dead ends, and if she keeps seeks more and pursues down this road,then some tough decisions will have to be made, that will eventually totally turn her world upside down, as she will not be so innocent, and I trust not so naive so that she can survive this epiphany.
She will need another support base, as not only her family and friends may turn on her, but the sycophantic liberal supporters will be extremely vicious and would happily sacrifice her.
What a dam cult she is born into, and then the self serving liberals that are inculated through the west.
The “liberalism” is even more of a beast to escape from, as it shows in my link below

the only one of his year, that had issues/objections with his educators, so get the full context the link is, even though it is a different topic, the principle is the same.

Though it is a different issue, sometimes it is good to see an amazing parallel, to take time and see the reflection in a different topic.
Though not exact, one can possibly see what is happening and perhaps with a fresh frame find new understanding so lead to new approaches, and actions.
Also it runs much more than just teachers, but goes deeply through government departments such as health, corrections [judiciary] media etc.
A faithfulessness to its own peoples as it runs through all our institutions, and is going through so many countries.
I have over the years wondered why I did not agree or seemed to be so obtuse to others, but finally using computers, the education from many other blogs and finding kindred spirits, plus the thoughtful expressions and debates; for me has lifted the fog, to be much more sure of myself and taking on and explaining to others, if only leaving them a “sound byte” to think on.

“Malala” (she is usually known simply by the one word now, like Madonna) is all over BBC news again today:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-30407319
Her expression does come across somewhat the same as the one often seen on the faces female left-wing feminist journalists – simpering, yet self-righteous.
Malala is famous for something (albeit tragic) that happened *to* her, rather than something she has done. She is famous in the same way that Doreen Lawrence is famous. She now wants to be Pakistani Prime Minister and champion education… but she remains a Muslim. So, have a read of the Quran and see if you think anyone with any sense would think it was a good idea do “educate” anyone with this:
http://forum.theodoredalrymple.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=3496
Who is paying for Malala’s education here, and why is she not first being educated that the content of the Quran is absurd and totally antithetical to a peaceful and “tolerant” society? No questions such as these are typically asked by our craven PC media, but people seem to increasingly seeing through and ignoring them – thinking the “wrong” thoughts. The more desperate the media then become, the more they smear UKIP and the more votes the latter pick up. It’s proving entertaining to watch.

It’s important to note also that many Pakistanis oppose the Taliban for nationalistic reasons, rather than a disagreement over human rights/religion. Malala is a hero to many of these (very devout) patriots; all of them vicious enemies of India.

Yes, as it happens I work with a lot of Indians at the moment. For the most part they are very decent people and we get on very well, although we realise we are different (they are only here temporarily, on professional visas). I have become friendly enough with some to have chatted about the British Empire and as far as I can tell they regard it affectionately. It saddens me and it is almost ironic that they, with their polite manner and formal clothing, have held onto the best elements of English culture, while we have become decadent.
But at the mere mention of Pakistan, their eyes roll. The Pakistanis and Pakistani culture are utterly different to the Indians. I would not want Indian culture here, but only in India. I certainly cannot see any benefit of Pakistani culture here, but we can see the terrible costs.
In this video Paul Weston mentions how the Labour government urged Pakistani people into the UK in their thousands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwtxy8fZ2AA

I once volunteered for a while at an Oxfam. While I was there, an earthquake killed thousands in Pakistan. The day after it happened, an Indian woman came in to make a general donation but added the proviso that none of it was to go to aid the rescue efforts there. At the time, I felt this was repugnant, but I understand more and more with time.
