The Age of Darkness that Tony Blair has revived in Britain and elsewhere in the world has seriously undermined human struggles for civilised existence

What can be the best phrase, in the English language used by Britain, to describe what has been done to society in Britain in the past ten years of Blair?

There is a very good phrase in Arabic, devised in the Asian subcontinent of Bangladesh-India-Pakistan in the 19th century of the Christianity based calendar.

That phrase was derived from an even better one that was known in what is now called Saudi Arabia, in the time when the Prophet Muhammad [Peace be on him] emerged.

The task facing society even regardless of what was to follow under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad [Peace be on him] was a mammoth one.

The age was called the Age Of darkness. Of Ignorance. Of deep, deep darkness and ignorance.

It is interesting to note that in the Blaired state of Britain, there are apparent symptoms and tokens of ‘cultural sophistication’! The same was in essence the case in the Arabia that was awaiting the social actions which the prophet Muhammad [Peace be on him] led in his relatively brief period.

This is historical fact.

The age of darkness does not have to be literally dark.

Its darkness is in the facts of the dark, base, 'values'. Or in the lack of any values worth defending or upholding for human society.. Or lack of values that it promotes.

In the Blaired state of Britain, we have daily denial and lies being perpetuated under an endless series of excuses every single one of which appears to be plausible.

This has made the vast majority of the subject people almost used to the process.

There is therefore no evidence of any discernible awareness on the part of “ thinking” members in that society finding the disappearance of precious social and moral values a serious and fatal loss for all in society.
