The entry of Islam to the UK
The presence of Islam in Britain can be traced since 300 years ago, which originated from recruitment of the sailors conducted by the East India Company from Yemen, Gujarat, Sind, Assam, and Bengal. They are used as soldiers. A small number of them then settled in port cities in the UK, especially London, Cerdiff, Liverpool, South Shields and Tyneside. Muslims in countries that have cultural roots that are different from each other.
Around the 19th century, a number of Muslim businessmen have also been trade to the kingdom. One of them is well-known companies 'Mohamed's Baths' which was founded in Brighton by Sake Deen Mohammed (1750-1851). In addition to workers and traders, in the late 19th century, started to go well into English intellectual group. This can be seen when the period between 1893 until 1908, a weekly journal of Islamic nuanced, The Crescent, began to spread in Liverpool. The founder of this journal is William Henry Quilliam (which in the Muslim community is known as Sheikh Abdullah Quillam), who is a lawyer. He converted to Islam in 1887 after a long settled in Algeria and Morocco. Coupled with a wave of Muslim migration en masse to England in the 1950s.
In 1951, the country's Muslim population estimated to reach 23 thousand inhabitants. Ten years later, the Muslim population in Britain to 82 thousand, and in 1971 has reached 369 thousand inhabitants. Currently, the Muslim population in the UK around 2 million inhabitants. Swelling numbers of this migration, especially from the former British colonies such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, due to the availability of employment opportunities in the UK, especially steel and textile industries are growing rapidly in Yokshire and Lanchasire. Issuance of the Commonwealth Immigration Act of 1962, which increasingly provide facilities for UK citizenship to nationals of the former British colony, also helped push the rate of this migration.
The development of Islam and Muslims Position
Before the tragedy of 11 September, the development of Islam in this country very rapidly. In terms of quantity can be seen from the developments mentioned above. Likewise, in terms of quality, the Muslims there are not many get difficulties when trying to implement keberagamaannya. This is supported by the UK government policy which expressly release all its citizens to embrace and implement the teachings of his religion. That is, every British citizen is not restricted and prohibited to embrace a religion of any kind. State does not issue an official religion recognized by the state. Every citizen can embrace any religion (including no religion in it though) even though the new religion, including running the entire teaching. In addition, it supported also by the attitude of British society are very indifferent to the existence of religion as long as they do not feel disturbed. From this end the development of Islam so fast.
However, behind which there is freedom there are wedge-wedge developed collectively by both government and existing groups. For example, until recently, many of the younger generation that the average Muslim from South Asia is experiencing a great struggle is complex, especially related to persoalanan their identity as Muslims. They tend to be easy teralienasikan from frame kemuslimannya as a result of high unemployment, lack of opportunity to acquire education, the quality of faith, the question of women's lives in a public space, the bias of the media perspective to racial issues.
Especially after the tragedy of 11 September 2001, which turned out to give a very great impact for Muslims in Britain. It's no longer about issues, but more than that, acts of racial far only few in number befall the Muslims there, after the tragedy, in terms of quantity more often experienced by Muslims in various sectors of life. Plural racist attitudes seen in places where the cultural center of Islam. It often happens, some of the Muslims who have traveled similar measures at airports or railway stations internationally. To reduce possible negative impacts experienced by the Muslim community, a day after the attack, Prime Minister Tony Blair declared, "a reprehensible act (WTC bombing) was in stark contrast with Islamic values. Vast majority of Muslims are very flexible, honest people, who are also experiencing the same horror of what had happened. "
However, after this tragedy is also a change of government attitude towards the Muslim community. When this has been specially appointed by the British Parliament some experts that was tasked to study Islam in detail to help political decision-making related to the Islamic community. From this position of the Muslims there began experiencing a number of barriers to systemic marginalization.
Utilizing Existing Momentum
If we look deeper, as if the measures taken by Prime Minister Tony Blair related to domestic and foreign policies contradict one another. However, if traced further, it turns out what is retrieved instead mutually reinforcing. Indeed, if judging from his foreign policy, the British tend against Islam. This condition is seen in how the UK with the U.S. insistence on attacking Afghanistan and Iraq which explicitly implies hatred for Islam. Not to the roots of history, which destroyed Daula Inggrislah Khilfah Islamiyah in Istanbul Turkey. Through the cruel conspiracy along with his minions (Mustafa Kemal, etc.), they are berlahan but certainly further undermine and overthrow the Caliphate as well as replacing it with British-style secular government. From here can be understood why in the framework of its foreign policy, Britain was 'dark eyes' of Islamic countries.
However, the opposite policy, namely to protect Muslims, captured in the British domestic political policy. Not only Muslims who have long become citizens, but Muslim leaders escape from various Muslim countries could also be easily obtain asylum to further continue its activities as is done in his native country. That is, all Muslims, as long as he remains a British citizen, will always be defended and protected, both when he was in British territory or not. Although their ideas are very opposed or tended to contradict the government's policies, they are free to do so.
Policies that seems ambiguous between one another, if we trace further not contradict each other. Indeed, there is in accordance with the doctrine of his foreign policy, namely to protect the security and enhance British influence in the international community, as well as support the creation of an international order that an orderly and safe.
However, in practical policy on emerging as a result of the first: UK institution to regulate and protect the freedom of every individual to express and issue opinions. The British government wanted to remain self-image as a democratic state that continues to uphold democratic principles and human rights. Therefore, every citizen is guaranteed freedom despite contrary opinions issued by the government or even tend to be insulting. As an example of what happens in a demonstration against Blair's policy of attacking Iraq. The protesters describe Blair as Bush's stooge with replication Bush as host, while Blair as a pet dog. This humiliation was not prosecuted at all by the government. This condition shows how freedom of expression is upheld. Islamic figures can freely without any sense of worry-affected legislation convey anti-subversive-Islamic ideas that in fact contradict frontally with secular ideology promoted by the British government. With this freedom also, they can easily convey the ideas of Islam to the general public and then invite them to apply Islamic law in everyday life.
Second, to deal with American politics. We know very well that the Islamic leaders who are vocal in essence, constantly attacking U.S. politics. These conditions produce benefits for the UK. Although there is no difference ideologically, there is a difference between the UK with U.S. interests, either in economics or in some other cases. This difference is then triggered the British tried to translate its policy for its foreign policy doctrine still achieved. On the one hand English is loyal U.S. ally who will always be asked for help to solve existing problems. But on the other hand, Britain is actually a U.S. rival to be reckoned with. UK foreign policy similar to the U.S. clearly will lead to any conflicts of interest. An example is in case of dispute about economic interests in the Middle East. Britain has long been planted its agents in the Middle East to secure its interests. However, since the Gulf War I had ended, stability and existence of the interests of British agents in the Middle East began to shift or even eroded by the interests and U.S. agents. Oil fields and other crops began to be sucked into the U.S.. Not to mention the level of loyalty of the leaders in Muslim countries. At first, we can be sure that they all were British agents. However, post-Gulf War I his condition began to change. They began to give their loyalty to the U.S.. This condition is very detrimental to British interests.
From here why in the end with the introduction of Islamic leaders who are critical of the U.S. in the UK would be 'blessing' for the UK alone. Their presence then transformed into a form of real support from one of the components of society to win the competition with the U.S.. In addition, they also become places of production 'weapon' powerful criticism easily available to be used to criticize U.S. policy. However, this policy would also be a 'blessing' the other for the development of Islam in Britain.
From here it is clear, that although the look contradictory, essentially foreign and domestic policy of England remains the same, namely to the progress and glory of England alone

Islamic Histoy and Muslims Future

Today Muslims are living all over the globe. There are approximately 300 million Arabs living in 22 countries, ruled by Arabs. Approximately 700 Million Muslims are living in 33 non Arab Muslim countries. The term Darul-Islam is applied to these independent Muslim countries. Muslims, who are living under the rule of non Muslims, such as in India, Europe, North America, Russia, and China, are about 330 Millions. This segment of Muslim population is known as Darul-Harb. Then there are Muslims who are refugees, roaming all over the globe, numbering about Millions and they constitute 80 % of the global refugee population. This is called Darul-Muhajireen. There was a time when Muslims were the masters of the earth, controller of the destiny, but today they are on a path of continuous decline. Their Condition is horrible, they face miserable poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, disease and sickness. There is a feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, and frustration among the Muslims. They are just living, for the sake of living, without any sense of direction. Neither the rulers, nor the intellectuals of this nation, have any plan, for this huge mass of suffering humanity. It is really painful to see them suffer, despite the best lands, resources, and vast number. It is very important for those, who are concerned about the future of the Islamic Ummah, to ponder about as to what is the cause of Muslim decline, What if anything can be done to end this misery. Muslims had their own social, economic, Judiciary and political system of Khilafat, that was established by Messenger Muhammed peace be upon him and the system was further advanced by Caliphs (rightly guided successor). After 40 years, the system of Khilafa was derailed, and changed into Kingship, though the rulers continued to call themselves Khalifas. In order to understand the causes of decline of Muslims, one has to know the fundamentals of Khilafa, as follows: - ¤ The government is established according to the commandments of Quran, with Allah Almighty being the supreme and sovereign ruler of the state. Man cannot be the sovereign. ¤ All power belongs to the system, not to the Ruler. Khalifa is merely an agency to conduct the affairs of the state, by the framework given in Quran. When people obey this system, they do not obey any person, they really obey Quran, the word of God. ¤ The Khalifa is the central authority, on political as well as religious front. It is his responsibility to meet social, economic and political needs of the people. In muslim religion and the state cannot be separated. ¤ It is the responsibility of the Islamic system, to create the conditions within the state, where equal opportunity is provided for the Psychosocial development of every individual, on Quranic lines.   ░ Answering Islam By Telling Causes and Decline of Muslim World » Political Decentralization Tauheed is the most essential element of Islam. It does not mean only the oneness of Allah Almighty. It also means one nation under one God. Muhammed peace be upon him established the Islamic state according to Quran. He was the head of the state, performing the political and religious duties simultaneously. After his demise, it was the rightly guided Khalifah who followed the foot steps of the Rasool, with single central authority (markaziah). Subsequently the system was changed to the dictatorial system, where power belonged to the individual rulers, not to the system. Now these rulers were not interested in the religious affairs of people, they took control of the foreign affairs, treasury, defense and trade and left rituals of Salaat, Saum, Hajj, Zakat, marriage, divorce etc. for the priests. So the single centralized authority was divided into political and religious wings. The rulers invented the laws to serve their aims and goals and distanced themselves from the guiding principals of Quran. They did not care for immediate and delayed deleterious effects of decentralization of the Muslim Ummah. In dictatorship, whosoever gets the power, does not want to give it up and likes to pass it on to his descendants. The end result of this phenomenon is struggle for power among the successors, and fragmentation of the elite group. This fragmentation does not stop at the upper-level but trickles down to the commoners, who start supporting one leader against the other. In this way the united power of the people, required for the defense of the country, gets misdirected against each other. When Ummayya became weak in this way, they were easily eliminated by Abbassids who in turn were decimated by Tatarees. This is the punishment, Muslims received, for sacrificing the Quranic principal of Tauheed. Allama Iqbal expressed it well: - There is death for the nations, in detachment from the center, There is life for the nations, in attachment with the center (Quranic Laws, Kabba) » Religious Sectarianism The vacuum left by rulers on religious front was filled by Mullahs. Majority of them were also insincere to the cause of Islam. Most were interested in strengthening their power and position. Their power grew parallel to the power of the rulers and they gradually evolved into institutions. The heads of these institutions became so powerful, that their ruling became the last word. They created followers and supporters, slowly personality worship started. As they say, two of a trade seldom agree; Interpersonal jealousy and struggle for power among the Mullahs, divided one nation into numerous sects. Through these so called Ulema, non Islamic, Greek Philosophy of Tassawwuff and Mysticism was introduced in Islam, that had reduced Muslims next to nothing. Today every Muslim proudly identifies himself with the titles of Sunni, Shia, Ahle-Hadith, Ahle- Fiqah, Ahle-Quran, Hanfi, Shafi, Malki, Hanbli, Dewbandi Brailwi so on and so forth. Sufis have not lagged behind, they too have hundreds of Silsilas. The rulers and Mullah have fragmented one Ummah into so many sects that there is hardly any hope of reunion in the near future. Further ruler and Mullah have developed a reciprocal symbiotic relationship. Ruler gives a special status to the clergy, tax exempt status, to collect tax free money from people. The clergy on the other hand pays it back to the ruler, by justifying the illegitimate actions of the rulers with their fatwas. They brain wash people not to react against the rulers, and ask them to accept the status quo. Poor is pacified and put to sleep with the statements like; “will of Allah Almighty, destiny fate, reward in life after death, hate for this base of materialism, person who suffers here is the dearest to God Almighty etc.” The purpose of this is to eliminate the spirit of struggle (Jihad) among the Muslims, so that the field can be left wide open to the infidels. To give a sample, look at the verses of Mirza Qadyyani, and pay attention to what he is preaching: - Now, forget my friends, the thought of Jihad In our time, for the sake of deen, haram is Jihad, Now the Masseeh has come, the Imam of Deen This is the end for all the battles for the Deen, Now the revelation has come down to say The fatwa of battle, war and Jihad is nay, He who calls for jihad, is the enemy of God, now Believer of jihad, is denier of my prophethood, now. » Psychological Change in Muslim Ummah Under the Islamic Khilafah, there is a complete freedom for people to express themselves. As a matter of fact, religion gives the ultimate freedom because Quran forbids enslaving of the people, even the Rasool does not have the authority to subjugate people. Public is encouraged to surrender to the system not to the Khalifah. In dictatorial system, people do not have freedom to think and speak against the state. If anyone does dare to speak, he just disappears, never to be found. So people become fearful and unconcerned with affairs of state. As a result of this, people learn hypocrisy, and suffer from fear complex. This is why the nation of 1.2 billion people is facing the crisis of altruistic leadership. Muslims are suffering from sickness of hypocrisy for the same reason. They address each other as brother, but act contrary. For the same reason, Muslim states do not trust each other and are plagued with conflict after conflict, purposely created by outsiders, to keep them tangled in their internal disputes. Both rulers and Mullahs are unconcerned with the future of the nation, as long as they can maintain their respective seats of power. Majority of us do not even react with our tongues, leave alone the constructive action. Is this the practice of Islam? Is this the Muslim brotherhood? According to Quran internal conflicts are the AZABUN-ALEEM (severe punishment). Today Ummah is caught in a vicious cycle of internal division, conflict, and weakness. This cycle must be broken by following measures.   ░ Reforms & Solutions » Reestablishment of Islamic Central Authority As I have discussed that the cause of Muslim fragmentation is because of the loss of a sacred central authority of Khalifah, we must make a sincere effort to re establish the Khilafah. It must be according to Quranic principals. Otherwise, it will be a failure. To achieve this goal is a Herculean task, but can be done, not impossible. Peaceful approach should be taken, through diplomacy, disciplined dialogue and tolerance. In order to succeed step number two must be taken. » Create Muslim Unity in Islamic states Open the Quran, understand the final revelation, and propagate it to the masses and win their hearts and minds to the ultimate truth of Quranic System. People must be mobilized to the stage of janoon. Unity can only be created through the message of Quran. If one descends below the level of Quran, where human thoughts come into play, the gap widens. No point in discussing the past, look forward, towards ultimate goal. Past is past, can not be reversed. People in the past made their decisions depending on their circumstances and we have to make decisions based on our circumstances, and the circumstances demand unity. highlight our similarities, rather than be fixed on our differences. Further unity can be created by step number three. » Learn Arabic Language Bulk of the Muslims today are non Arabs, living outside the Arab lands, who neither speak nor understand the language of Quran and Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. All Muslims must learn to read write and speak Arabic language for effective communication. If we can master English, French, Spanish and German, there is no excuse not to learn Arabic. This should be in addition to their other regional languages. » Islamic Education In The Light Of Quran Present system of education is given to us by colonial powers, secular system of education, which orientates us towards Capitalistic mentality. It teaches us, myself first, while Islam wants us to meet the needs of others first. This system of education transplants Western mind on the Eastern shoulder. It must be replaced by Islamic system of education. Allama Iqbal's philosophy of Khudi must be reassessed and practically implemented in the new system of education. This will infuse the ruh "essence" of Islam among the younger generation, which will be more community orientated. » Elimination Of Priesthood In Quranic Islam, there is no place for priesthood or Mullaism. The word Maulvi, Mulla, and Maulana is not used with the names of companions of prophet. This means These titles are the invention of Ajmi Islam. Priesthood is strong arm of Zoroastrianism, Iranians of that time brought with them Mullaism and introduced into the Quranic Islam, during Abbasi period. At present, If one carefully looks around, the newer sects are produced by these Maulvis, through the process of personality worship. Therefore, those madarsas that produce Mullas should be curtailed and gradually abolished, so that further divisions in the nation can be eliminated. » Implement Islamic Economy Muslim Economists and scholars should develop models of LARIBA interest free economy. Central Islamic bank and regional Islamic banks should be developed to finance these projects. Banking should be part of LARIBA Islamic economy. » Islamic Media In order to present Muslim point of view, entry into the media is of utmost importance. Through this vehicle all negativism against Islam should be challenged. TV, Radio, Magazine and Newspapers must be established. Movies have a very powerful impact on people. So far Muslims have neglected this powerful mean of impacting the public. This should be persued. » Focus On To Real Concept Of  Hajj The word Hajj is from Hujjat, which means to discuss and find the solution to the problems. At this annual event, must discuss the problems and find the solutions for the problems facing the Ummah. Annual program must be spelled out in front of the Ummah and and in the subsequent year the goals achieved throughout the year should be presented at the next Hajj. This is the place where unified policy of the Muslim territory must be charted out. It should become United Nations of Islam. This should be in addition to present rituals of Hajj. » Protection of  Right of Muslim minority Muslims, living in Darul-Harb, are facing severe discrimination in education, jobs, physical insecurity; they are denied religious and political rights. An effective policy should be charted out to deal with the Governments of the offender countries. Our resources, our trade should be shared with those countries, only if they are willing to change their policy towards their Muslim subjects. » Dialogue with Non Muslims Since the collapse of Communism, all the cold war is shifted toward Islam. West is suffering from fever of Islamophobia. Christians are made to believe that green menace is coming after the red menace is dead. This prejudice is the result of the hate literature, produced by enemies of Islam. Christians must understand Muslim point of view. Through interfaith dialogue and through positive literature about Islam, their fears must be conquered, and sincere friendship must be established with Christian world. Fair minded, Justice believing Christian scholars should be encouraged to present real Islam and promote the understanding between the two communities. In the end I will say to the Muslims, if such a plan can be developed, and dedicated efforts are made, the abysmal fall of ummah will stop and rise will not be too far away. To rest of the globe I will say, After all, Muslims are a significant number of one human family, progress of Muslims, will be the progress of the whole human family. At this time when globe is progressing toward one world government, The dream of world peace will remain a dream, unless the global policy is based on justice, freedom and equality, which Muslims are denied so far.
