Shura Council meeting of the Islamic Empire( Closed to IE on

[Baghdad Caliphate]

The first Shura Meeting, post refounding.

Members:
Wazir: Baghdad Caliphate
Emir: Ali Imam
Wazir aljaysh: Nouistan

I, the Wazir hereby call the Shura meeting to order. We shall be here to discuss several issues arising out of the recent changes.

[Baghdad Caliphate]

Let me start by saying that we are grateful to the All merciful Allah , by whose grace we could salvage the region from being refounded as a colony of Genua. But then, certain thoughts have crept into my mind in these days.
I, personally am not all happy with the new founder's tampering of our flag, which demeans our independence and makes us subservient to the United Empire of Islam.
Moreover, the WFE also reflects the name of UEI prominently, which stings our desire for true freedom.
I would like to hear from you all regarding the above two points.

[Ali Imam]

Well, the times are extraordinary now and we must not forget that it is the UEI who got us our freedom.The founder had told right at the beginning that we shall be able to control the region like before. So that will mean the WFE and the flag.I don't think the UEI will impose any flag if we don't want it.
That said, yes even I find the flag to be offensive and we must restore the old flag ASAP.

[Insaanistan]

Asalaamu Ālaykum wa rahmatallahi wa barakatuhu, my brothers and sisters.

[Dawood Ibrahim]

Thanks, Insanistan, but sorry, this is a closed thread for Islamic Empire members only.We will surely meet later.

We also believe that the flag must be restored in toto. If at all it is to be changed, the region will take a decision as a whole. Hence, the flag must be restored at the earliest.
Also, definitely we are indebted to the UEI for their immense help, but the mentioning of the UEI name will be indicative of IE being a colony of UEI. This may make us lose members or fail to attract new members. Whoever wants to join a colony region? Thus, the continuation of the UEI name in the WFE, will be detrimental to our future as a region.

[Insaanistan]

Sorry, I didn’t realize.

At this moment, I feel we should refrain from inflammatory wordings, Dawood. I agree with Ali Imam, that the flag and WFE can be restored immediately as one of you has the necessary privileges. This can be done and does not even require any approval from anybody, because the restoration of the flag is one of the most important criteria after a raid.

[Ali Imam]

I see that most of the nations have agreed upon the discontinuation of the UWI's name in the WFE and the restoration of the old flag.
I would like to request the Al Wazir Al Awwal to pleas declare a whole Majlis vote for the same ( comprising of all members) so that our action is democratic and is represantative.

Put up the poll for all to vote upon. I too realize that we need the involvement of the whole region in this major decision.

[Mughal Huqumat]

Voted in the poll. Urge all to vote please.

[Dawood Ibrahim]

Voted for option 1.
But in view of the founder addressing the region and changing the WFE, one part is already accomplished.
Regarding the flag, I have two options which might serve as our flag:
Option 1.

AND

Option 2:

[Merneptah]

I prefer the second one.

I would go with the first one. Someday we might be an assertive region.

[Merneptah]

Regarding flags, the second one please.

[Nouistan]

So I was completely unaware this was happening as I have been busy and not logged in. I would have to ask some questions, though

1. To clarify the issue is being seen as a colony more general, not specifically that it is UEI?
2. Given that another member of that racist region gained access to this region, would it be useful to temporally downplay our Islamic sensibilities - in an aesthetic sense at least - at least until they seem to have gotten bored with us?
3. Alternatively is anyone aware if this website has rules regarding respectful comments or any other means by which to report many of the nations in their region owing to Islamophobia and racism?

[Baghdad Caliphate]

To clarify Nouistan's queries:
1. Yes, being seen as a colony in general. Definitely not specifically about UEI. It is the case of a weaker region being helped by a stronger region, albeit with conditions.But the issue now has been sorted out.

2. Regarding downplaying our sensibilities, we could do that temporarily, but it won't help.Moreover, it will mean too much of bending backwards for buying peace. We can't change their mindset.After their failed attempt, they may have already become bored.

3. Planting a mole to takeover the region will not be considered an offense, it will be considered part of gameplay. I checked earlier, but as long as they do not refer to any RL incident, they are allowed to take a position against any group. Also, their gameplay against Muslims, who are not belonging to any race as such, may not qualify for rascist acts.
Except strictly explicit Nazi symbols like swastika etc, many Nazi things are also not banned.

[Nouistan]

Thank you BC. It is rather concerning that even Nazi flags aren't banned here, but hey. Many of the comments they had made have been targeting us as Muslims so there's some possibility there. If anyone has seen such posts and could send me the links I'm compiling a report to send to the administrators.

[Baghdad Caliphate]

Looking at the new flags proposed by Dawood Ibrahim, the second flag is being selected for the region.

[Ali Imam]

I invite the leaders of our region for the second Shoora Council meeting.
As discussed with Baghdad Caliphate, we wish to incorporate the following agenda :
1. Council expansion:
The Wazir and I agree upon appointing Mughal Sultanate and Dawood Ibrahim to the Shoora Council, as Minister of Culture and Minister of Internal Security. As Minister of Culture, Mughal Sultanate has to coordinate RPs and host events and festivals for the region. As Minister of Internal security, Dawood Ibrahim has to check the credentials of the new citizens to the region so as to eliminate any threats.
Both shall report to the Wazir.

[Mughal Huqumat]

I thank the Wazir and Emir for appointing me as the Minister of Culture. It's truly an honor.The work is uphill, but I shall strive to deliver.

[Baghdad Caliphate]

I am sure that you will do a great job, Mughal Huqumat. Our region is growing from strength to strength. My only concern is the activity levels of our members.

[Mughal Huqumat]

Well, we talked about a constitution and since nobody submitted a draft, I am submitting herewith my draft for a good constitution for the Islamic Empire. I am thankful to Ali Imam and Baghdad Caliphate to guide me with the direction and scope of the constitution.
Here is the one:

We, the citizen nations of the Islamic Empire, solemnly resolve to adopt a new constitution which shall gurantee freedom, equality and rule of law in the comity of nations which constitute it's membership and hereby frame the following legal guidelines which shall be in immediate effect for the governance of the region:-

He shall hold the post of delegate of the region.The AYATOLLAH may declare a state of emergency if he is satisified that the region faces threat (whether internal or external). The decision to lock the region may be taken by the AYATOLLAH after imposition of emergency. This however shall need post facto approval of the Shoora Council with a simple majority.

[Baghdad Caliphate]

Thanks for your effort, Mughal Huqumat. I have already seen it. So I am Ok with it.

[Ali Imam]

I concur with the constitution. I will request to put up a poll for the whole region to vote on. The debate can continue here.
