It is true that the "root cause" of our coups by a "tiny minority of ostensibly malefic persons" in Fiji was beyond my comprehension.
A notable blogger has repeatedly clarified in this quest to seek an answer that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and that "Satan was the enemy and doing nothing was the shepherd" or something to that effect.
This was an acceptable answer for me and perhaps the majority of those like me, why, because we are Christian and understood this coming from a fellow Christian, well presumably, that it was just the fight of good over evil, but was this answer 'universally' acceptable?
Then it occurred to me. This is absolutely the same reason why Laisenia Qarase and Mahendra Chaudry or the International Community have been unable to identify a solution to tame this evil, even with the ostensible support of the majority of the population.
Why? No not because of guns. Because one is Christian and the other a Hindu who hate each other and have NO understanding of Islam. The same can be said of the Religious background of the majority of our freedom bloggers. What we do not understand, it is human nature to rubbish and focus on that which we do.
In fact one can draw from all religions and channel that knowledge to attaining happiness which of course is found within not without and is that which has been with us from the beginning and is attained at the end of desire.
However, if we continue to ignore this hidden power ruling in the shadows, the fate for any other leader that may emerge to replace these two in our country will be the same, that is just the way it is from the late Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara's era to Frankeinsteins now.
That is why we think that Frank is deranged (his St. Giles Records have been removed) , inhumane, bipolar etc. because we cannot fathom how someone can be so destructive and disrespectful of our indigenous identities and institutions, including our religious organizations.
The date of the purported abrogation of the 1997 Constitution says a lot, it is symbolic and was meant to be remembered by Christians.
Laisenia Qarase and Mahen lack a basic understanding of Frank Bainimarama's driving force, that is, the philosophy behind his throne, and hence when you do not know your enemy you will never defeat it.
If the Ganilaus' Nailatikaus' or the Maras' and the Security Council were in fact in charge, then why have we not heard a single murmur from these people, after all, the only ones that have spoken are the infamous Islamic five, that are linked to Alqaeda.
And how do I know who their leader is?, well for a start why dont you ask Dr. SahuKhan for his passport and see for yourself where he went to immediately prior to the 2006 coup, also look at the back of the passport to see how much money he took out of the country together with his 'mataqali' who went for their 'holiday' to Egypt.
Total outgoing funds was in the vicinity of FJ$175,000, yes I know you wondering how and what about RBF this and RBF that, well I thought we had addressed this issue, it really depends on who you are and the mula that you control, not necessarily physically possess and our underground economy in Fiji is too complex for Teletubbies Police, FIRCA, DPP, AG, RBF, FIU or anyone in "government" to understand, why, because they are not business people, they are all 'employees', people that have degrees hanging around their necks, with many initials after their names on their business card, pushing paper attending this and that workshop and symposium and think they know what is going on in the real world glorified in their self importance and official titles.
Also, if one were to believe the Peter Foster Chronicles that he spoke to Navitalai Naisoro who bragged about him being the man behind all in power, then the material questions omitted to be asked by Peter of Navi was Who is Behind You? Who is the Power behind your Throne Navi? Who devised all this scheming, conspiracy and treachery at your Prayer Breakfast, Power Lunches and Womanizing Dinners? The answer is found on the 8th floor of Dominion House.
Why do I bother talking about Tal-Qaeda? Well I hope to attempt an answer and consign it to the Lami dump because like my fellow freedom bloggers I like to talk about much more easier things, such as the state of our economy, or how our bush lawyers are doing with our Constitution, or how the arrival of Sir Paul Reeves in Fiji is akin to an Act and Scene of Cicero's return from exile in the tyranny of Julius Ceaser.
In this hunt for answers I stumbled across reflections of the brilliant life of Muhammad Iqbal, a poet, philosopher and lawyer (1877–1938), a common denominator of our shadowy figures, who was proud of his Islamic identity and desired to find the "root cause" of human suffering and in his first lecture in 1908, he asserted that out of all religious systems including Christianity, Islam took the most positive view of the human capacity to "transform" the world for the better.
As free, equal and responsible individuals, human beings are the makers of their own destiny and require no mediator between themselves and God. Islam rejects the Christian doctrines of redemption and the infallibility of the Church because these assume the "insufficiency of human personality" and create a dependency that Iqbal saw as "obstructing the ethical progress of man".
The ethical ideal of Islam in a nutshell is "a strong Will in a strong Body".Frank Bainimarama surely has a strong will in a strong body, the same can be said of all the Legal Advisors to Frank prior to and since the 2006 coup.
Ask yourselves, are there any Hindu or Christian Lawyers in Fiji that have the passion and drive to replace Aiyaz Kaiyum? I think not. When a person is driven by non-material metaphysical forces NO ONE will beat him/her. Ask yourself who put treacherous Anthony Gates to become our illegal CJ, and who was quick to justify the coup with a brilliant legal rhetoric?
The day that Frank Bainimarama replaces Aiyaz and Aziz and the Shameems and Sahu Khans and all others like them in the shadows, that is the day his 'empire' will collapse. This is the KEY to our FREEDOM.
So what is required to destroy Christianity and Hinduism or according to Iqbal "transform" Fiji for the better? The answer is simple, nothing, just the absence of the strength of Character and Physical prowess to protect our identity, our heritage and self respect.
Iqbal ascribed this to the visible absence of "life-force" due to the "decay of the religious spirit", which along with political causes beyond peoples control instils an abject sense of dependence.
The absence of a strong will in a strong body to lead us has led to our decay, which I think Wadan Narsey has outlined on RFN months earlier, due to our dependence on strong leaders, which as we speak, unfortunately can only be seen in Frank.
The Prophet of Islam had put it beautifully: "The whole of this earth is a mosque."
A state from the Islamic point of view was needed only to "realize the spiritual in human organization".
This is exactly what Teletubbies cult is meant to achieve, to realize the spiritual in human organization.
As the main working idea in Islam, tawhid translated into "equality, solidarity and freedom". It was incumbent upon the state "to endeavor to transform these ideal principles" into reality by constructing "a definite human organization" based on Islamic precepts. "It was in this alone", Iqbal claimed, "that the State in Islam is a theocracy."
This is the "radical change" that continues to come out of Franks mouth. Don't forget we can use the same words, but words mean different things to different people, depending on their vocation or philosophy. So although Frank may think he knows what they advise him to do, they come from a different paradigm, where the same word means different things.
Islam was against any form of government "headed by a representative of God on earth who can always screen his despotic will behind his supposed infallibility". This was what had pitted the Christian state against Islam and a solution had to be found by separating the political from the religious.
As is the case in Fiji that is why the Methodist Church of Fiji had to be separated from Politics and this is the root cause of the Church's persecution by Frank. If you look at it, Religion is always part of Politics, well at least in the Western World, who crowns a King or Queen? just look at the pieces on your Chess board, where is the Bishop in relation to the King and Queen?
In Islam there was no established church from which the state could separate. Moreover, "Islam was from the very beginning a civil society, having received from the Quran a set of simple legal principles which, like the twelve tables of the Romans, carried … great potentialities of expansion and development by interpretation"
By abolishing the caliphate in 1924, the Turkish Grand National Assembly had shown how the right to independent reasoning could be exercised in modern times. A republican form of government was wholly consistent with the spirit of Islam and an imperative of the time. Now ask yourselves which countries in the World have had coups? The overwhelming majority are Islamic, Africa and Fiji.
Though unsure about the ultimate fate of the nationalist ideal in the Muslim world, Iqbal was of the view that for now "every Muslim nation must sink into her own deeper self, temporarily focus her vision on herself alone, until all are strong and powerful to form a living family of republics".
Funny how SLR made our Fiji a Republic and Frank has sunk our Fiji into her own deeper self whilst caressing the others for Fiji to join our new 'family', no not the Commonwealth family, the Tal-Qaeda family of Republics.
SLR had the same chief shadow legal advisor still living today. I wouldn't be surprised that he is also the power behind the throne trying to revive the SVT in the shadows again. Have you ever thought of why the Indians that love soccer cannot get rid of MS Sahu Khan? It is because they are all Hindus, and have never understood his game plan, just like Chodo.
The idealist in Iqbal wanted to think that God was "slowly bringing home … the truth that Islam is neither Nationalism nor Imperialism but a League of Nations which recognizes artificial boundaries and racial distinctions for facility of reference only, and not for restricting the social horizon of its members".
What humanity needed, Iqbal contended, was a spiritual emancipation of the individual based on universal principles for the spiritual evolution of human society.
For Muslims, the "spiritual basis of life is a matter of conviction for which even the least enlightened man … can lay down his life". Given that the basic idea in Islam was that there would be no further revelation, Muslims "ought to be spiritually one of the most emancipated peoples on earth". But emerging from the "spiritual slavery" of pre-Islamic Arabia, the early Muslim community failed to appreciate the true significance of the idea of the finality of prophecy.
If contemporary Muslims were to grasp this point and reconstruct their social life according to the ethical principles outlined in the Qur'an, they might yet attain that "spiritual democracy" which is the ultimate aim of Islam.
Critics have scoffed at Iqbal's concept of a "spiritual democracy", describing it as "ornamental prose" aimed at awakening the spirit of struggle among Indian Muslims but devoid of any concrete guidelines on how to establish such a form of government (Ahmed 2002).
A poetic visionary, Iqbal was clearly more interested in changing hearts and minds than in detailing the nuts and bolts of a system of government where authority was to be exercised in the name of God rather than ordinary mortals. From the perspective of the history of ideas, the concept of a "spiritual democracy" represents the crystallization of Iqbal's views on human freedom and equality.
This is an identical trait of Frank, he is never interested in the nuts and bolts, he just wants to "radically change" our hearts and minds and "transform" our Fiji, whilst Teletubby exercises authority in the name of God. Don't forget there is only one God and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his Prophet and according to Islam Jesus was also just a Prophet. So yes it is a "spiritual democracy" disguised as the "Jesus Strategy" tailored for Panama oops Fiji.
This is also why NATO will never win the war against Terror, like us, and apart from Barrack Hussein Obama, they have no understanding of Islam's plight to 'transform' the World and punish the 'Infidels'.
Folks we are living and breathing in a Theocracy, part of the 'family' of Republics, they just have not labeled it as such because the majority of us are either Christians, Hindus or Atheists.

exactly the same scenario witnessed with the big talks concerning China and big time cassava planting for the Fijian people blah blah blah .. we are all still waiting my guess is we will wait 20 years for that Plant to be built. Now they say this Malaysia Co will build a Plant of sorts ?? This is the 2nd round of revelation on Plant buildings by this IG. 3 years on and still no Plant from China. No monies from China. No monies from India. What kinds of idiots believe the IG idiots.
