There seems to be no end to the attacks on Islam these days as it appears to be punch bag in Europe.

President Sarkozy being the latest in a long line, who has now chosen to attack Burqa.

As these verbal assaults continue to build and get harsher, the Muslims in Europe need to be in a position to intellectually refute these attack, show the flaws in these arguments and at the same time present the solution from Islam.

This week’s talk discusses how we should not carry Islam and the Dawah of Islam, before going on to address how it should be done in the correct way.

A lot of lies and rumours are portrayed about the concept of Jihad in Islam. It is used by governments around the world, as a word that allows them to justify their political policies against Islam. It is also used as a word to instil fear and confusion in the masses of the Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The fact is that Jihad is the method of Dawah and the foreign policy of an Islamic state. It is there to be used to convey Islam to the world and bring justice to people who have been oppressed by the man made systems.

However if we look the concept of colonialism, we find it is also the foreign policy of the western Governments of today. However the objective of colonialism is not to look after the affairs of the people per se, but to exploit the people and their resources. Many incidences in the past couple of centuries, as in Sudan and the Indian subcontinent, highlight this fact and even more so today in the Muslim lands.

This week’s talk discusses the issue of Jihad and compares it with Colonialism, highlighting the very clear differences and how this subject should be discussed.

There is a lot of turmoil today in the British political system. The main issue being faced is the expenses issue. The politicians are enduring all rage of the general population and justifiably so.

However, the problem is not due to the how the expenses system itself, although this is a partial cause, but more to do with the mindset of the politicians.

The politicians go into their profession as a career aim. Most of them did not do anything before politics nor will they ever do anything outside of politics. The result is that the most of the individuals see it as just another job and not as a responsibility to look after the people.

Thus the mentality that develops over the years is one of ‘what can I get for myself’ – which naturally results in a creeping greed and the end result we see today.

In Islam there is no such concept of a career in politics. The idea is that everyone should be involved in it in their daily lives, but some are chosen to represent the thoughts and emotions of the masses, which is then conveyed to the Khalifah or his advisory council.

This talk discusses the issue of the career Politician and why it is flawed and how we as Muslims should address the subject.
