Hit Egypt in its Touristic testicles
Friday, December 11, 2009
Joining forces with the US imperialists to build deep foundationed wall to seal the citizens of Gaza in their prison?
Bastards.
- Don't visit that country (unless its for family).
- Discourage people from visiting that phaoronic place.
- Divest.
- Deface all Egyptian Tourist propaganda in a distinguishable manner.
- Point people towards deep exploration of Turkey.

[New Game] Cowboys and Iranians
Tuesday, December 01, 2009
Remember that game where the annihilation of the Native American civilisations is celebrated through child's play?
Well this better game is set to superscede its imperial bastard stepmother. Valuing courage, creativity and exercise, and more essentially, promoting a sense of agency when the powers are stacked up against you, this game is a game for justice.
Rather than genocide, zionism and colonisation, it celebrates giving the bully a wedgy, challenging the technological hegemony and paternity of the nuclear tipped west.
Bringin these narratives and values into everyday practice is important for developing life skills. We must inscribe the ummahtic situation and potential into our very flesh.
Try it out on the sprogs nearby. Consider it an Eid Present from me.

UEA Climate Change email issue/
Thursday, November 26, 2009
The unfolding the the Hacked Tyndall Center Email Revelations story has been interesting, this mini post is mainly to remind myself to write about it.
- Fishy timing, with tories seemingly cool on the issue with election year in the UK approaching, and the very hyped Copenhagen negotiations imminent.
- Why is it such a surprise that science is actually socially and politically produced?
- Is this really such a big deal? simply scientist banter?
- Is this like the ball tampering issue from cricket? standard practice but a good few get their knickers in a knot over it.
- How much is the 'media' responsible for bad communication on this issue?
- Incredible that climate denial had joined the ranks of genocide denial and holocaust denial isnt it?
- What part has the isolation of human and physical disciplines played in this mess up? fake interdisciplinarity doesn't count.
- What part has governmental technocracy played in cynicising the public towards decarbonisation?
- Climate Change is a discourse of power, its terms are contested from the academy to the parliament. This must be unpicked and refreshed because it has repressed certain trajectories of knowing. (cf. research funding streams) and perhaps entrenched soulless intellectual activity.
- There is too much bandwagonning and therefore waste of precious scientific capital in this area, this isnt just about climate change field but any contemporary science policy perogative.
Thankyou George Monbiot, thankyou Nigel Lawson
oo, and big ummah love to all the hajis out there!

An Iqbalian Vision for a New World
Friday, November 20, 2009
Here's a bit of Javidnama.
There is a world stil lost in our hearts,
A world that still waits for the call or 'Rise!'
A world without distinctions of blood and colour,
Where evening shines brighter
Than morning in the West;
A world purged of sultan and slave,
Boundless as a beleiver's heart;
A glorious world, which had its seed cast,
Into 'Umar's soul by a single look;
An eternal world, but one whose events are always new,
Ever new fruit of its master principles;
Within, it is not afflicted with change,
But outward change is occurring every moment.
See, that world is inside you!
I will tell you what its master principles are...
(Trans. Mustansir Mir)

EcoNaivety
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Probably a temporary state, but i feel that certain publics are being rendered thus by the lifeless technocracy that has set in following neoliberal appropriation of environmental values specifically in the mitigation of human induced Climate Change.
Can you hear it?
Mrs Jones please turn of the light to save the environment (money), I shall just build a coal power station over your mothers grave, ok?
New parkings charges are now in place in the university, we are letting a private company run the operation because we care about the environment.
Look at me, im an environmental consultancy sucking off the teat of local government funding streams, would you like a keyring.
I am an ecocrapitalist. I have decided to crade imaginary carbon in order to exploit the current policy space for every last grain of hope it might have left.
I can always hear it.
Maybe it was the Stern Report, maybe its just us, maybe its just the trappings of our times and powerlessness.
EcoNaivety is stuck in linearity and must get out. It builds a wall of carbon kajoosity around potentially creative relationships with each other. Dont get me wrong, accountancy has its place. Along with Family, Islah, Ummah and Baraka.
I suppose this was what we were getting at all those years ago with the banner
'Let's not let our postindustrial guilt suffocate our wanderlust'
Instead of regarding humankind as a permenant blight upon the face of the earth, we might conceive of ourselves as a potentially custodial, sympathetic constellation of forces. This is not a new revelation.

Why are you taking it out on BROWN, it was you son's choice and the evil Bliar's leadership wot got him killed.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
These days the British public are being force fed armed forces pride and trained against thought crimes. Every billboard tries to explain the virtues of wearing a poppy with a backdrop of
The most wise and courageous thing to do would be to withdraw the limp phallus of british state terror from the middle east and central asian areas. Its made things worse. You can't polish a turd, even when its made with the congealed blood of tens of thousands of Asians and a few hundred white people.
The Prime Minister writes a letter to the mother of a soldier killed recently. What does she go and do?.... scream straight to the tabloids over his spelling. Meanwhile the tabloids get their kicks out of playing up the Prime Minister's sight problems. What grace and class.
Blue washed right, left and center.
Pathetic really.
Get them out .
Bring them home.
Stop thinking that you are the solution, you're not.

Awami Monkeys ban HT
Saturday, October 24, 2009
The Bangladesh Awami League are the most idiotic excuse for a political party and a crying shame on the face of their captive Bangladeshis. They should be finally, and permanently, discredited, and abandoned.
Why the angst?
Well they have just banned Hizbut Tahrir. Why?
For campus-centric non-violent, non-criminal political activity.
To be a political actor worthy of a future in Bangladesh you must sign up to some bastardised political mythology, kill people, beg from foreigners, promote your minions wherever they might be, lie about your history and have a rather poor crude aesthetic.
I think the secularist problem was that as soon as a few people with a little status and education from the west, who had thought for a while about political Islam came to the country without political baggage, their house of cards fell down. It should be interpreted as a shot in the arm for nonsecular political forces.
You see its mainly the children of the 71ers who get into HTism. Their political heritages have been bloodwashed.

We are not waving, we're drowning.
Thursday, October 22, 2009
A sad scenario for you tonight, I heard two tales of great similitude.
Imagine.
A British Council in Bangladesh which seeks to exploit perceptions of education to earn money by promoting bad education in the UK.
Brave, even foolhardy young people in Bangladesh who see the UK education option favourably to others, and write off warnings as 'jealousy'.
Thousands of 'kids' from desh in the UK this year who are unemployed and cannot afford to continue or return home.
Some of whom have died.
:-(

Just build the blumin road you slow coaches!
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
I just read aNewAge story about an ADB study over the costs and benefits of Bangladesh joining the Asian Highway. Here are some incomplete thoughts.
As if a linearly imprisoned, deterministic and economistic donor-driven study will ever do anything for national mojo? The BNP government sat on this and wasted it. The Awami league are going around with a begging bowl.
Lets talk about the 'wealthy and middle class bangladeshis' who stand to immediately and tangiably gain most from this.
Our national birthing occured in two steps, each one more parochialising and provincialising than the previous one. Appeals to Muslim and Bengal identity weren't really culturally productive, but political postures. Yet today with immigration, colonised curriculums and remittance, the Deshi wanna-bourgioise is better connecting to serving the technocratic interests of Anglosaxonia and the least interesting bits of Arabistan. It is also trapped by the Indian nation state and cowers to it on some important issues. Lets add some other countries to the mix. Let us have some partners.
Making it easy to reach other places by road would allow roots to grow into asia and broaden the outlook of this class of people. Perhaps.
