It narrates the story of the early <i>cryptic</i> Christians who first arrived in Britain. Hazrat Alhajj Hafiz Hakim Maulana Nooruddin - Khalifatul Masih I (1843 - 1914) believed (via Geoffrey of Monmouth) that these are the People of the Caves refered to in this chapter of the Quran. This is largely due to a neorealist view of history as being cyclical. There is an historical parallel with the decline and fall of the British Empire and the time of Jesus' first descent and the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. The removal of the seat of Islamic Caliphate to London 25 years ago as a result of insane persecution also parallels with that of the early Christians to Europe as a result of severe Roman persecution.<br /><br />Maybe I'm digressing, but it all harks back to the Green Man, you see.Rehan Qayoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391797858691917631noreply@blogger.com
