An Alternative Muslim Christmas Message

The world needs hope and Islam not more of the same

When my father bought our childhood home back in the mid 1970s, one of the first things he did was get rid of the chimney. This morning I joked that because of this one act he had denied me so many presents from Santa.

As a Muslim who has never celebrated Christmas, I have never really understood the point of the Christmas message. I am not a big fan of the Queen or the King for that matter. They are, in modern society, an irrelevance, a throwback to a colonial age when lineage equated to power. Today lineage equates to access to Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew’s inappropriate friends.

Whilst the power and relevance of the Royal Family is now limited to a ceremonial one, the legacy of British and Western colonialism still continues strong. The only thing that has changed are the methods utilised.

The year that has passed has further exposed the hypocrisy of liberal democracy and its cheerleaders, both at home and abroad. Whilst those in the corridors of power across the world tuck into their expensive turkey roasts and cranberry sauce, they oversee populations in political, financial and social turmoil. Their actions abroad have done little to hide the moral bankruptcy of a defunct ideology fighting to save face.

Today in Palestine, the people will spend another day in their tents and flood water, forgotten by a world that for decades said never again. The world has witnessed a genocide live streamed 24/7, yet nothing happened.

The international order and rule of law have all been laid bare. We now live in a world that is beyond law and is at the behest of those who possess financial and military power. Palestine, Sudan and the Congo are just small reminders to Muslims and everyone else that all lives are not equal.

At home, millions are suffering the consequences of capitalism’s doomed economic policies. Unemployment is on the rise, inflation is out of control, and the government’s response is to tax everything and everyone they can. Taxes and rumours of taxes are destroying any confidence in the economy week after week.

AI will not save us all from economic doom. It could, however, lead us to another economic bubble, the consequences of which ordinary people will have to pay. Humanity should not have to live with boom and bust economics, where the rich get richer every cycle and the poor get poorer.

The revelations of the Epstein files, a nice cover to make the world forget the genocide in Palestine, have shown democracy to be the Brussels sprout of political systems. It is ugly, it smells bad, no one really likes it, but we must tolerate it all the same.

The rise of far right politics is just a symptom of the masses losing hope and the establishment pushing their distrust not at the system, but at immigrants and non whites. It’s a tried and tested tactic.

Whilst the voice of the right grows louder any voices supporting Palestine are legislated against. The values that for so long were shoved down the throats of the Muslim world are now clearly nothing but a lie. There is no freedom of speech.

Those who rule the Muslim world have proven they are puppets of their western pay masters. They care little for the lives of their brethren and more for their political survival.

In all of this upheaval the hope for humanity has to be in something different, something other than what has been tried and shown to fail for centuries are more.

Islam provides that hope for the world, the steadfastness and humility of the Palestinian Muslims should be a symbol of how we are meant to live. Not with political and economic arrogance but with honour and dignity.

The world needs economics based on distribution and not accumulation, politics concerned with accountability not power and a society built around aiding others and not ignoring a genocide.

Only Islam and the Caliphate offer the world this hope.
