Re: Revival of The Noble Muttawa League
Abu Hind,
You have tried to start a noble quest and that is admirable. However your quest will bring you in direct conflict with neo-liberal modernist types, who view Islam as a culture rather than as a religion. In order for your campaign to work you need to make alliances and/or endorsements.
To get anything to take hold you have to get endorsement from one of the main powerbases on Islamica.
One, is the teenybopper crew. Although this group seems on the surface to be very silly and fluffy, they carry a lot of influence because they are large in numbers and have many common interests. You can appeal to them by showing an interest in their interests. They are very loyal, and their post rate is very high so you will have a wide canvassing area for your message.
The teenyboppers are the setters of trends and popular culture on Islamica.
Two, is to approach one or more of the powerhouses on Islamica. A powerhouse is a poster who carries a lot of weight and influence. If you get one of these on board then your message will be carried much further. Powerhouse Islamicans are like philanthropists. They have a lot of wealth and power, and they know it. They like to choose pet projects that they can get excited about, and your project may just be something they're interested in.
The powerhouses are like the sultans and kings of Islamica.
The third group is the most difficult group to get on your side, but they are also probably the most powerful on Islamica at the moment, and that is the Girls Gang (aka as the FPH crew). They are most likely to be found in FPH which makes it harder to get to them, but if you are able to get them on your side your message is almost certainly set. This group is very tight knit and operate in uniform units. If you earn their anger or annoyance they will reduce your rep points to pennies, because of their blitzkrieg attacks. If you earn their anger or annoyance in a thread, they will chase you out of a thread, either leaving you isolated or very bruised. On the converse, if they like your style, they will fully throw themselves behind you, and they are very effectively organised.
The Girls Gang are like the Marines of Islamica.
A final but potentially much more difficult option is to take random Islamicans and form a rag-tag Mutawwa army. This will be like the guerilla fighters of Islamica.
Good luck and Godspeed!
