New Taifas until we secure the peninsula.

I, Qasim al-Cyrahzax of the glorious and unopposable Taifas, propose that we focus our efforts in annexation on the three westernmost Christian kingdoms of Iberia: Portugal, Galicia and Leon.

These realms are the weakest of our neighbors and the most vulnerable to direct military force: we must crush them before greater Christian kingdoms, France especially, decide to interfere with them. Every Christian king in Iberia is threat and a wild card- it's intolerable!

I, Sheikha Rabab al-Majnun, support Emir al-Cyrahzax's proposal. The Christian kingdoms are a pack of dogs that have always nipped at the heels of glorious Andalusia. Let the light of Islam spread to the whole peninsula!

I, Sheikha Hibbar Rubik of the League of Merchants, wish to support the proposal of Dansar rabb al'ustul alttijari. My reasoning is that by strengthening our trade we better the economy of the realm so that the New Taifas and the Ulama have the needed funds to undertake their own projects. I humbly request that everyone who supported my proposal to consider supporting this proposal as it benefits us all.

I, Sheikha Rabab al-Majnun, support this proposal, though it comes from a merchant of common blood. We cannot make war or peace with empty coffers. Dominating the regional economy is the first step in spreading ~~Pax Andalusia~~ as-Salaam al-Andalusi.

I, Sheikha Rabab al-Majnun, throw my support behind Lutfi al-Uthman's proposal to keep our alliance with the Celts, and further propose that we ally ourselves with any other enemies of France, regardless of their faith. Believe me, I understand the kneejerk reaction to an alliance with Christians after so much Andalusi blood has been shed driving them from our rightful lands. But the followers of Isa are still People of the Book, and unlike the filthy conquistadors infesting the north, the Celts have never threatened Andalusi territory. The Ulama would do well to recall that Islam cannot thrive without a secure land for the faithful. We must build an alliance against the Frankish hordes. If we must grit our teeth to fight alongside Christians, then so be it!

I agree with the sentiment here, but we must go further:

I, Ismail al-Cyrahzax, propose that we use the wealth that will surely be coming to us on a comprehensive program of military expansion and reform. We should build a barracks in the capital and in other population centers if possible, while also expanding the size of the standing army, recruiting better officers to lead it, drastically increasing our research into military technology, and maintaining a minimum amount of wealth for hiring auxiliary forces in times of crisis.

I, Sheikha Rabab al-Majnun, support this proposal.

Switching to Merchants..

It looks like our new Sultan has military matters well in hand. We need cooler heads in the Majlis.

And it seems pretty obvious that we need to accept the dhimmi as a core culture. Tolerance ~~Wolf~~ Calligraphy will be revived!

Proposing the Caribbean D.R.E.A.M. Act - Focus on nabbing territory in the Caribbean with an initial goal of establishing at least one self-sufficient colony* there.

I, Sheikha Saz bint Rabab al-Majnun, having taken my family in a different direction since my mother's death, support this policy.

I, Sheikha Rabab bint Rabab al-Majnun, propose the Western Muslim Brotherhood Act: Let us try to mend relations with the Almorovids as much as possible. Our mighty victories have cost us huge amounts of money (oh, and people I guess), and the last thing we need is another expensive war. If we must go to war, it should be with the vulnerable Christians, or even with this so-called caliphate in the East that dares to demand our allegiance. We have centuries of friendship with Morocco--we should not throw that away after one king made a foolish decision.

In addition to my faction members, I encourage other factions, especially the Ulema, to support this act in a coalition vote.

I propose we secure an alliance with Mali. They might be willing to help attack Morocco, so I think it's worth pursuing. While they are unlikely to be much help in any of our other wars, it can't hurt to broaden our alliance network.

Supports this motion, with the addendum that we should also pursue alliances with any other nation that might threaten Moroccan holdings. This includes the native powers of Gharbia.

These are glorious days for Al-Andalus, but they could be improved, no? Castille's continued existence is a national embarrassment, one that must be corrected, so I propose Annex Castille Act. It is self-explanatory.

I, Sheika Rabab bint Rabab al-Majnun, support this act.

On a different note, what do folks think about eventually allying with New England? They're not a priority now, but they might be a useful ally against Celtic expansion in the future.
