NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
This was an e-mail sent by a crony in a UK to another crony in a UK. Both have been Malaysians nonetheless we have not revealed their names. we thought it would be interesting to read a exchange.
Obviously we need a little correct bargain of what is meant by socialism. Give me a call to encounter up for a sensible discussion. Hopefully we will afterwards realize a rabble we have been present has zero to do with socialism.
Brown's "socialism" was a delay of Reagan/Thatcher giveaway marketplace for a miserly to take all they could take in an unregulated market. Free marketplace is not about rewarding those who worked hard. Free marketplace is about giving a descendants of land as well as cattle thieves (the lords as well as ladies of a manor) as well as a generations of a slippery miserly bloodsuckers a leisure to amass some-more resources by regulating their existent wealth, power as well as connection to screw a majority of a population.
I am saddened which a great as well as intelligent man like we is present rabble upon interest of those bloodsuckers who instruct to obstruct attention from their despicable fervour which caused a economic as well as financial disaster we have been all confronting today.
I am currently in Malaysia, best wishes.
Basically, my two friends above were debating a workings of 'western' socialism. Let me join a fray (or throw a cat amongst a pigeons) as well as supplement 'Islamic' socialism to a discussion.
Muslims would routinely argue which Islam is not a sacrament though a approach of life (adeen). However, not each Muslim practices what they preach. Hence we tend to find a lot of pomposity amongst Muslims -- as we additionally find amongst a alternative religions which evangelise love though invade alternative countries given a final 1,000 years as well as have never stopped we do so until today.
If we were to investigate Islam in depth, we will find which Islam is a combination of socialism as well as capitalism. For example, Islam teaches we which we do commercial operation is improved as well as some-more just than operative for someone. Prophet Muhammad was a businessman, as was his initial wife who owned a commercial operation which a Prophet was managing. And so on.
Now, as much as most Muslims would never wish to admit this (and will whack me for observant it), a initial 'Holy War' was essentially a fight connected with trade. This initial 'war' at Badr (a encampment south of Medina upon a road to Mekah) was a caravan raid as well as was meant to cripple Mekah's position as a centre of traffic for a Arabian Peninsular.
At which time, Mekah was a centre of custom as well as this resulted in it additionally being a centre of religion, or vice versa. People from all over did their event to Mekah as well as at a same time engaged in trade. If Medina wanted to replace Mekah as a brand new centre, it would have to initial cripple Mekah's traffic supremacy. And to grasp this a Prophet pounded a traffic caravans upon track to Mekah. Before a fight of Badr, most caravan raids were conducted as well as a biggest 'battle' was supposed to be a a single passing by Badr.
!
Hence whilst a Islamists would demand which a initial 'holy' fight of Badr was about religion, we will demand which it was about trade, nonetheless it can be in a roundabout way regarded as about sacrament given yes or no became a centre of traffic constantly would additionally become a centre of religion. In short, traffic as well as sacrament went hand-in-glove as well as to be a centre of a single we must be a centre of a other.
Let me put it another way. The Prophet's forces pounded a traffic caravans not to modify these 'pagans' to Islam though to disrupt a traffic routes as well as cripple Mekah's leverage as a traffic centre of a Peninsular. Mekah, in turn, sent an army to Badr not since a Prophet was propagating Islam though since he was disturbing Mekah's trade. The fact which a single force was Muslim as well as a alternative 'pagan' was incidental.
That is my interpretation of a events as well as is formed upon story as well as not theology. And a Islamists for sure will not agree with my interpretation of events -- though which is their problem, not mine.
Hence traffic as well as custom is really crucial to Islam. And a placement of resources (zakat) is a single of a beliefs of Islam to a single side praying, fasting as well as behaving a event (Haj). And in Islam it is imperative which each year we compensate 2.5-3.0% of your resources as zakat. This zakat is afterwards distributed to a needy, poor, orphans, people too aged or too ill to work, travellers, people in debt, etc.
In short, we have been speedy to do commercial operation rather than work for someone so which we can become wealthy as well as so which once we have been wealthy we can take care of those less advantageous than you. So, as we said, Islam is a combination of capitalism as well as socialism. Islam wants we to emanate resources so which we can share this wealth.
Now tell me, how most Muslims will assimilate this or will agree with this? Of course, a ma! nner in how we have your income as well as how much profit we have is additionally an issue. But let's not go in to which or else this piece is starting to spin in to a thesis.
The long as well as reduced of it would be no a single starves or sleeps upon a streets under Islam's capitalist-socialist system. But a being is, there is some-more poverty in Muslim countries than in non-Muslim countries plus some-more exploitation, discrimination, misapplication as well as so on. So, a complement may be great though a people living under which complement do not imitate as well as deviate from what should be.
And which is why we regularly contend which becoming different a complement (or a government) is of no make use of unless a people themselves have been prepared to reform. In theory, a Islamic capitalist-socialist complement is superb. In practice, Muslim countries suck. It is not about a complement or a government. It is about a genius of a people.
In Malaysia, when we scream about reforms, we routinely talk about becoming different a complement or a government. But if it is merely aged booze in a brand new bottle zero great is starting to come out of it. Islam's capitalist-socialist complement is already great enough. It is improved than even a little western concepts. But uncover me a single glorious Muslim country. And uncover me a single Muslim nation which altered its supervision as well as became a Shangri-La. Most times a brand new supervision was as bad or worse than a aged government. Hence a best complement in a universe would be like throwing pearls to hog if a people have been not able as well as resist change.
