I think you meant to comment on a previous post. Your comments have been moved to here.

You have the ability to waltz with words yet your dance has no substance. Your seething anger and disbelief are more than apparent but you fail to leave room for any discourse. For one to be so forceful in attack suggests there is something to be protected. However, you do not endorse communism, there is no mention of capitalism, religion clearly repulses you; it leaves one wondering what exactly it is you DO believe in?

Without proposing the alternative, your comments are nothing but an articulation of incoherent, poorly justified and contorted thoughts which have more likely than not, been spoon fed to your pliable mind through the secular societal voice (your blog is evidence of this where you merely reduplicate and use excerpts from media articles and reports).

As be humble said, you are desperately lacking historical facts. Seeing as the Islamic state was destroyed in 1924, the social, political and economical failures you witness today, are failures of the current system, not Islam.

You speak of ‘corrupt dictatorial regimes’ (perhaps Tony Blair and his foreign policy?), ‘grinding poverty’ (caused by the likes of the IMF?), ‘illiteracy and intellectual backwardness’ (due to marginalisation of ethnic groups?), misogyny (manifesting itself in the workplace through unequal pay scales) etc etc. It seems to me that you’re breeding a ‘death-cult’ of your own. Enough to make more than one shudder, no?

And as far as petulance goes…you ooze it.

Do continue to comment on the blog however. If you have an ounce of backing to your arguments, if you can denote the smallest amount of credibility to your thought, if you can articulate more than just raw emotion, I believe we can all have a meaningful discussion.

Excellent post!

I went to a seminar given by an English doctor at UCL. One interesting point he made is that he is often instructed to prescribe less effective drugs simply due to corporate pressure, even though he knows there are better drugs!

He also mentioned that there are many alternative medicines that have been recently discovered that the Prophet (pbuh) taught us 1400 years ago. Again, these medicines are not advertised because they are so cheap and won’t fill the pockets of big pharmaceutical companies.

I don’t have anything against big companies making money – however, when this is done within a Capitalist system where individuality and selfishness is the norm, it can lead to horrible situations where money becomes the only criteria in whether a drug should be promoted or not.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “For every disease, there is a cure – so seek the cure”. It was this statement that led the Muslims to discover cures for thousands of diseases and illnesses. Alas, today, Islam does not exist anywhere on this earth – rather we see pseudo-Islamic dictatorships, which give many non-Muslims a false image of Islam.

If you want to live in this appalling world, you’re welcome to it – just as long as you don’t infect civilization with this petilence.

The Muslim world is backward now because of the dictators installed by the western governments. Before the Islamic state was destroyed it produced some of the greatest astronomy, scientists and mathematicians the world has ever seen. Every historian will tell you that, the Islamic state dominated the world for centuries rescuing people from the oppression and darkness of the other secular empires. You need to understand that these dictators ARE secular like the west and that’s why they are corrupt.

You are really letting down your fellow secularists with your blind ignorance, before you make another comment try doing some reading up, it helps!

If islam were the dominant idealogy, modern medicine wouldn’t exist. Islam, as Muslims love to point out to us, is not really a religion but ‘a whole way of life’ from the state apparatus down to the individual defecating at home.

Islam as a ‘whole way of life’, as a political, social and economic ideology has proven time and again that it is an utter failure, producing corrupt dictatorial regimes, grinding poverty, illiteracy and intellectual backwardness, misogyny, hatred of the Other, debilitating fatalism, dysfunctional individuals, institutionalized hypocrisy and nihilistic terrorists.

One shudders at the possibilty this death-cult will ever be “dominant”…
