Muslim call to thwart capitalism

Muslim call to thwart capitalism By Mark McCallum In Granada, Spain

An Islamic conference in the Spanish city of Granada has called on Muslims around the world to help bring about the end of the capitalist system.

The call came at a conference titled 'Islam in Europe' attended by about 2,000 Muslims.

Earlier this week Granada saw the first official opening of a mosque in Spain for more than 500 years.

The keynote speaker at the conference was Umar Ibrahim Vadillo, leader of the worldwide Muslim group known as Murabitun.

The group is strongly opposed to capitalism.

Mr Vadillo said America's economic interests had become the religion of the world and that people slavishly adjusted their lifestyles to suit the capitalist model.

But he said capitalism cannot sustain itself and is bound to collapse.

Disapproval of terror

Mr Vadillo, a Spanish Muslim, called on all followers of Islam to stop using western currencies such as the dollar, the pound and the euro and instead to return to the use of the gold dinar.

He said the introduction of the gold dinar to the world's economies would be the single most unifying event for Muslims in the modern era.

Shortly afterwards, he said, the capitalist structure would quickly fall and it would make the Wall Street crash of 1929 seem minor by comparison.

The conference also heard from Abu Bakr Rieger, a German Muslim.

He said Islam could only be practised in Europe in a traditional way, not in one adapted to European values and structures.

He also said private terrorism would find no approval among European Muslims.

Oh yeah! Let's go back to the 9th century and the Caliphate - Islam's version of Theocratic Feudalism. Gotta love it when you're the lord and they're the serfs. Too bad the serfs have to suffer but that's their preordianed lot in life.

ISLAM - a religion of theocratic totalitarianism.

muslims are droooling to take over that which they lost in the ottoman empire. The french will gladly hand it to them. (The BBC must be drooling at the prospect of anti-capitalism. Why do they give main access to these freaks?)


Private terrorism? what about "public terrorism"? Remember its not a sin to mislead or lie to an infidel according to the muslim faith.

"The West, or the universal civilization it leads, is emotionally rejected. It undermines; it threatens. But at the same time it is needed, for its machines, goods, medicines, warplanes, the remittances from the emigrants, the hospitals that might have a cure for calcium deficiency, the universities that will provide master's degrees in mass media."

-- V.S. Naipaul, Among the Believers.

I wonder if the Spaniards will kick themselves for screwing up 500 years of relative peace!

I'm certain that this indulgence by largely-Catholic Spain will be reciprocated by, say, Saudi Arabia, by allowing the construction of a cathedral in Mecca.

The Pipeline of Hatred

Quotes from the Stalinist Ramsey Clark:

"'Islam has probably a billion and a half adherents today. And it is probably the most compelling spiritual and moral force on earth today.' - http://www.africa2000.com/IMPACT/clark.html
'Islam is the best chance the poor of the planet have for any hope of decency in their lives. It is the one revolutionary force that cares about humanity...' - http://www.peacethrujustice.org/AmericanPolicymakingMistakes.htm

And just what exactly will they replace capitalism with? Will they de-invent all the products created in a consumer society?

No Muslim country has had any major technological development in the last 1,000 years. they even stole algebra from a Persian.

Arab civilization began it's collapse as Islam rose and that is not an accident at all.

I was wondering where these gold bugs we have around here were getting this stuff. A lot of those same guys are immigration freaks, too. Spanish-speaking Muslims have got be their worst nightmare. And now here they come... and they're gold bugs! This is cosmic justice.

He calls capitalism a religion. I call modern Islam a political system, namely, totalitarianism.
