Analyse – Grossbritanniens autoritärer Wandel


TAGES ANZEIGER: Seit dem Brexit-Referendum hat sich die politische Kultur verändert. Wem der Kurs der Regierung nicht passt, soll einfach den Mund halten.

Von einem Land, das am 23. Juni 2016 noch davon überzeugt war, dass es in der EU bleiben würde, ist Grossbritannien zu einer Nation geworden, die sich nicht mehr nur dem institutionellen ­Gefüge der Union entziehen möchte, sondern damit droht, Europa ganz den Rücken zu kehren. Die britische Regierungschefin Theresa May hat angekündigt, sie könne notfalls auch ohne neue Handelsvereinbarung mit den EU-Staaten leben. «Lieber gar keinen Deal als einen schlechten», sagte sie im Januar.

Boris Johnson, der Aussenminister, hat hinzugefügt, ein kompletter Bruch mit der Europäischen Union wäre für ihn «vollkommen in Ordnung». Und Finanzminister Philip Hammond hat signalisiert, sein Land werde sich gegebenenfalls in ein Billiglohnland und eine Steueroase vor den Küsten Europas verwandeln, um sich gegenüber der EU zu behaupten und um internationales Kapital an sich zu ziehen.

How to Eat Like Muhammad | Anthony Rogers


According to Islam, human beings don't know how to eat properly without guidance from Allah. Fortunately, Muhammad told his followers the correct way to eat. Muslims must eat and drink using three fingers of the right hand. Anyone who eats or drinks with the left hand is imitating Satan, who eats and drinks with his left hand.

Christianity, Islam, and Pork: How Zakir Naik Destroyed Muhammad


In his lectures, Dr. Zakir Naik argues that pork is haraam (forbidden). To support his claim, he often quotes the Bible passages Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8, which say that pig meat was unclean for the Jews. However, the very same passages also say that camel meat and rabbit meat were unclean. Why is this interesting? Because Muhammad and his companions ate both camel meat and rabbit meat. Hence, the passages Zakir Naik quotes actually condemn Muhammad.

Theresa May Calls London Terror Attack "Perversion of a Great Faith"


On March 22, 2017, Khalid Masood launched a terrorist attack that began on Westminster Bridge and ended in Parliament Square. The Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack. In response, British Prime Minister Theresa May insisted that the London terror attack was a "perversion of a great faith."

In this video, David Wood shows that if terrorist attacks are a "perversion" of Islam, Islam has been perverted for nearly fourteen centuries, because Muhammad himself slaughtered unbelievers in the name of Allah.

What’s to Blame for This Misfortune? David Cameron’s Hubris about Brexit


THE GUARDIAN: He treated politics as a game of chance and allowed the referendum vote to become a virility contest about whether or not Britain could stand alone

Sometime before the 2015 general election, an aeon ago in the history of British politics but less than two years ago in ordinary time, David Cameron told the Financial Times that he wanted to be judged on his success in resolving the two big questions that had overshadowed British politics for nearly a generation. This is how he described them: “One is, does the United Kingdom want to stay together? Yes. Secondly does the United Kingdom want to stay in a reformed European Union? Yes.”

No need to trouble with the score, then.

But where is Cameron, that sunny optimist, on this bleak morning when half his fellow Britons feel as if their country is being severed from Europe like a limb from its body? Where is he today, the day after the Scottish parliament voted in favour of a second referendum? Cameron is famously even tempered in the face of the buffeting of fate. He is a man said by those who know him to be exempt from the dark nights of the soul that keep ordinary folk tossing and turning at night in agonies of self-loathing. But even that David Cameron must have given some thought to the chaos his catastrophic commitment to a referendum on Europe has unleashed. And wondered why he ever thought it was a good idea.
