Where Is The Reason?

Early next month, come the sad memory of one of the most infamous political document ever produced in human history, a document that came to be known as the “Balfour Declaration”. I have already dedicated a book to the subject, and I will post for the occasion, next month, interesting parts of it. However, now I’d like to post a taste of it in the following lines quoted from my book.

>>> Quote <<<

There were critics of the Balfour Declaration, although among the cacophony of many events competing for attention, few but its beneficiaries concentrated on the significance of what was being offered. One was the Jewish leader and statesman Mr. Edwin Montagu, who had no desire that Jews should be regarded as a separate race and a distinct nationality. The other was Lord Curzon, who became Foreign Secretary at the end of October 1918. He prepared a memorandum dated 26 October 1917, on the penultimate and final drafts of the Balfour Declaration and related documents, and circulated it in the Cabinet. It was titled “The Future of Palestine”. Here are some extracts:

I am not concerned to discuss the question in dispute between the Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews . I am only concerned in the more immediately practical questions:

(a) What is the meaning of the phrase “a national home for the Jewish race in Palestine”, and what is the nature of the obligation that we shall assume if we accept this as a principle of British policy?

(b) If such a policy be pursued what are the chances of its successful realisation?

If I seek guidance from the latest collection of circulated papers (The Zionist Movement, G.-164) I find a fundamental disagreement among the authorities quoted there as to the scope and nature of their aim.

A “national home for the Jewish race or people” would seem, if the words are to bear their ordinary meaning, to imply a place where the Jews can be reassembled as a nation, and where they will enjoy the privileges of an independent national existence. Such is clearly the conception of those who, like Sir Alfred Mond, speak of the creation in Palestine of “an autonomous Jewish State”, words which appear to contemplate a State, i.e., a political entity, composed of Jews, governed by Jews, and administered mainly in the interests of Jews...

The same conception appears to underlie several other of the phrases employed in these papers, e.g., when we are told that Palestine is to become “a home for the Jewish nation”, “a national home for the Jewish race”, “a Jewish Palestine”, and when we read of “the resettlement of Palestine as a national centre”, and “the restoration of Palestine to the Jewish people”, all these phrases are variants of the same idea, viz., the re-creation of Palestine as it was before the days of the dispersion.

On the other hand, Lord Rothschild, when he speaks of Palestine as “a home where the Jews could speak their own language, have their own education, their own civilization, and religious institutions under the protection of Allied governments”, seems to postulate a much less definite form of political existence, one, indeed, which is quite compatible with the existence of an alien (so long as it is not Turkish) government...

Now what is the capacity as regards population of Palestine within any reasonable period of time? Under the Turks there is no such place or country as Palestine, because it is divided up between the ‘Sanjak’ of Jerusalem and the ‘Vilayets’ of Syria and Beirut. But let us assume that in speaking of Palestine in the present context we mean the old scriptural Palestine, extending from Dan to Beersheba, i.e., from Banias to Bir es-Sabi... . an area of less than 10,000 square miles. What is to become of the people of this country, assuming the Turk to be expelled, and the inhabitants not to have been exterminated by the war? There are over a half a million of these, Syrian Arabs -- a mixed community with Arab, Hebrew, Canaanite, Greek, Egyptian, and possibly Crusaders' blood. They and their forefathers have occupied the country for the best part of 1,500 years. They own the soil, which belongs either to individual landowners or to village communities. They profess the Mohammadan faith. They will not be content either to be expropriated for Jewish immigrants, or to act merely as hewers of wood and drawers of water to the latter.

Innocent Blood

In a previous post dated August the 3rd 2011 and entitled “Where Is Our Nüremberg?”, I predicted and warned literally saying, and I quote:

·         The Revolutionary Movements are being systematically weakened and sub-divided into powerless fractions ideologically and numerically through misleading mass control techniques. Just have a look at the various labels tagging their web-sites to realize the gravity of the damage.

·         The Political Parties are being slowly driven towards frontal collisions over political crumbs, sectarian differences and ideological banners, thus shifting their aims from the main demand as claimed from day one by the people’s revolution which is simply: “the complete ‘Purification’ of the entire system in order to establish a whole new one structured to lead the way towards ‘Real’ Freedom and ‘Real’ Democracy”.

·         The Reactionary Forces (The Counter Revolutionary Lobbies) quickly overcame the initial shockwave of February 11^th and reorganized their ranks to open a multiple fronts for the counter attack by using their followers still working in media, in municipalities, in governorates, in security forces, in intelligence agencies, on private TV screens and sympathising networks like the Saudi AL ARABEYAH. We have to realize that they are using every mean they have to orchestrate the music according to their favourite tunes.

·         Foreign Intelligence Agencies operating in Egypt are not standing by watching the events, they are steering the wheel.

History’s teachings are the only lighthouse for those, like us, who are seeking salvation from the darkness of evil and the turbulent storms of life. Unless we would have our “Nüremberg”, the worse may yet be waiting round the corner on the next turn.

(End of quote).

All along the course of our region’s history, the hope to divide Egypt into conflicting fractions obsessed the imagination of all dominating powers. We have to admit that “they” never ceased trying to satisfy their obsession, by all possible and available means, and never stopped hoping. 

Having said that, it seem obvious that the well manned, equipped and financed Reactionary Forces are still sorting to the use of “hired thugs”, they recruit from the poorest districts of the Capital, same as they have been doing for decades, to disturb elections or to terrorise opponents and to silence the “other”; this time to ignite a bloody confrontation(s) that could initiate a chain reaction to which no one can predict the outcome. Especially  when “friendly advises” are suggested, in the most sincere tones, by the well trained and deeply infiltrated operatives and assets of Foreign Intelligence Agencies, with their long curriculum of experiences in overthrowing governments and destabilizing societies.

As such the dish is served, we will have to pay for it though. The sad thing is that always the innocents pay the price. The Egyptian blood poured last night in Cairo is the proof. The “developing” Egyptian society, and for decades, was constantly hammered by separatist ideas like “The Re-birth Of The Coptic Nation”  or “Assiut Is Our Capital” used repeatedly as the populist slogans to oppose “Islam Is The Solution” another sharp and provocative populist slogan.

And as our so called governors/leaders thought that by dividing the society into sectarian fractions each watching the other yet all must remain under the strict dominance of the “Master”, then everything will be under control. They were obviously dead wrong, being so appallingly incompetent in their functions, they couldn’t see or realize that by doing so they are fulfilling an objective dear to Foreign Interests, and that is to pave the Egyptian soil for eventual interventions (cultural and logistic) to plant separatist agents here and there, to proceed with the division agenda raising the secessionist demands.

It’s already starting by the repeated calls from international diplomacy and media upon Egypt to “better treat minorities”! Of course they tried first with the Nubians, then the Bedouins, but the Coptic card is a winner as it attracts all sympathising Christian governments around the world. When TV reporters capture on video bloody faces crying for justice and holding the cross, apart from a guaranteed share for the transmission, but as well the political support and diplomatic backing are secured.

It happened before, and will happen again for as long as the “Egyptian Élite” lacks “Political Competence”, “Strategic Vision”  and “National Loyalty”, all being the biological fertilizers necessary  to cultivate a clean, uncontaminated and plentiful crop of “Free Transparent Democratic System”; able to create and maintain a self dependant, modern and unified civil state founded upon the principles of “Justice, Liberty and Republican Traditions”.

Is this too much to ask? 

Pass On The Word.       

Anger is not the term.

Two pieces of information, closely related to the Muslim and Arab spheres, passed unnoticed by the majority of their respective concerned public opinion. Either (mis)placed in the inner pages of newspapers or, worse, not published at all; they weren’t even granted any space on National TV networks which didn’t prove any interest for the matters in merit, and which I believe are of the highest relevance of all as you will see.

(I)

The first regards the shocking declaration pronounced by the Libyan leader Mr. Abdel Jalil, whilst in a joint press conference with Mr. Ignazio La Russa the Italian Defense Minister, by which he confirms that “the Italian Colonialism was better than Gheddafi, there were more justice”!



I had reserved admire and respect for Mr. Abdel Jalil till yesterday. Seeing him entertaining a hard-liner militant Fascist, who incarnates the cruel oppressive forces led at the time by “Graziano Il Mascellaio”: the Fascist General Graziano the Butcher, who captured and hanged an immortal icon of anti-colonialism heroic resistance commander like “Omar Al Mukhtar The Lion”, and leaving a long trail of blood rivers ploughing the Libyan deserts following the butcher’s massacres which harvested the lives of tens of thousands of innocent civilians; made admiration and respect fall off my shoulders and out of my mind just like the October cool winds would sweep away the falling dry autumn leaves.

Is this the “Justice” you were referring to Mr. Abdel Jalil? Or is it the Justice you have in mind for the future of Libya and the Libyan population? How can a man known to measure every word before pronouncing it make such a fall? Is it just a simple “Lapsus”, or there is more to fear behind that public shame?

I know that politic is the “art of compromise”. But could it impose such lowering levels? You may explain, justify, or even ignore; but remain certain Mr. Abdel Jalil, that in the end you will have to ask forgiveness to the tens of thousands of Libyan families victims of the Fascist Colonial atrocities, and you will present your heartiest and most sincere excuses to all the Arab Nation and those asking for Freedom and Justice.

(II)

The second traumatic news, yet completely ignored or should I say censured, concerns “Makkah”, the birth place of the last of God chosen Prophets and the last seal for God assigned Messengers “Muhammad Ibn Abd’Allah” (ppuh).

Being the highest regarded destination for Muslim pilgrims, as pilgrimage is the fifth fundamental of Islam, the royal house of Saud is providing additional 200 billion dollars for the new works needed to enlarge the capacity of “Masjid Al Haram AsSharif” to receive at once 1.2 million pilgrims. Till here the news are promising and encouraging.

The untold story is the collateral damage resulting from such repeated “good deeds” of the House of Saud: The building of various seven star hotels, managed by European and American companies, in sky scrapers suffocating “Al Beit Al Ateek”, making the pilgrimage a golden source for multi billion dollars profitable business for the royal family, and further indebting the Saudi people; all this would necessitate the removal of surrounding houses and the demolition of historic monuments and sacred relics dear to the hearts of every Muslim on the face of this planet, like the house of “Abu Taleb” where the prophet was raised, or the prophet’s house he shared with “Khadijah Om al Mo’menin”, and so many others that we shall never be ale to see anymore, as per the dictate of the Ultra-Orthodox “Wahabi” cult holding by the nose, if not by the balls, the throne and the realm under the sneering sardonic smiles of the “foreign powers”!

If Jesus “Issa Ibn Mariam” (puh) drew the “Merchants” out of the temple, when will our “Wise Elders” decide to clean “Makkah” and “Madinah” from that barbaric ignorant invasion launched in the name of protecting “Islam” from pagan practices! As if promoting and encouraging doubtful investments to finance such lucrative projects and their related auxiliary services, thus converting an already challenging and demanding religious ritual into an élite exclusivity.

The house of Khadijah

     The room where Khadijah and Muhammad lived

As such, they are deliberately draining “Spirituality” out from a practice that stands dearest, in the true meaning of the word, to the hearts and souls of all Muslims around the entire God’s Universe. Because whether they are practicing or not, you will find it carved in the hearts of all Muslims: the certainty that travelling in Pilgrimage to “Masjid Al Haram AsSharif  of Makkah” has only one prize, and that is God forgiveness of all prior sins. And a prayer inside “The Prophet’s Mosque at Madinah” offers the ever lasting spiritual serenity.  

But, by turning that fundamental religious ritual into a selective lucrative business, “They” are simply reintegrating the paganism that Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (along with hundreds of wise men of good will and sound spirit chosen by God to convey his messages) fought all their lives, giving the ultimate sacrifices, to cast it out of the lands and minds.

That’s why anger can not be the term by which I would precisely describe the feelings that are dominating my emotions right now. If you’d find a better one let me know, and don’t forget to, please, Pass On The Word.

P.S: How interesting is it that two rich states like Libya and Saudi Arabia, both lay down stretching over oceans of petrol and natural gas, yet both are not sovereign.

One is still fighting its way out of the grasp of dictatorship and is looking for free democratic rule, yet here are their leaders offering gratuities and free lunches to foreign interventions forgetting the powerful negotiation edge they have in hand by which to establish total welfare for their people, if adequately and wisely used for that noble purpose: Sovereignty and Welfare.

And the other, being originally founded by British design and American money, is now almost completely held in “Mortgage” in the hands of “International Financial Institutions”. The terms of that sort of transaction were set when the house of Saud agreed to offer the Saudi People’s Natural Resources of petrol and gas in exchange for the United States  guarantee of unlimited support to the Saudi throne. You know what that means of course. It means that as long as oil and gas are regularly provided at “Reasonably Convenient Price”, the United States will invest in modernising the Realm and defending the throne (of course through loans guaranteed by more oil and gas), and will encourage its allies to do the same.

I want to know how much is the Saudi Sovereign Debt? How much of the foreign investments (in infra-structure, in tourism, in Hotel Management, in Armaments and Defence contracting) originate from Zionist Israeli Blood money?



It is your call. No one will place the bet for you!

I will never get tired repeating my heartiest cry for you to rise and save the revolution. Save it from the jackals encircling it in a that particular sad moment of  weakness and division, and patiently awaiting in vicious eagerness the right instant to perform their final assault on its throat and celebrate its death, drunk with its blood.

I have been calling, since February 2011 through e-mails and on my blog, upon the Revolutionary and Social Movements to stand up and unite their forces and resources together forming the necessary solid front, desperately needed in such critical times, to actively oppose the well organized, well financed and well equipped reactionary forces. Not forgetting that the meaningful external powers will support who will remain standing straight in the end when the dust settles. They will never support the weak or the loser. This is rule number one.

Having united the scattered forces and imposed your non negotiable demands, don’t concede to barter, intimidation and blackmail like the professional political parties who repeatedly proven their failures over long decades. Create the alternative and impose it with all necessary means. Total cleaning, and cleansing, is a must to make a revolution worthy and successful. So you need to change entirely the regulations of the game before starting a whole new one. You can’t start a new game having the same old players and referees who were used to change the rules while the game is on. So, impose your Unified Revolutionary Committee assigned to call for a nation wide signatures collection campaign – from every street in every city to every pass in every village - to be presented to the Constitutional Supreme Court in order to call for a public referendum to assign a people’s nominated committee the task of elaborating new electoral laws, and write down a whole new republican constitution, before any elections could be carried out whether administrative or presidential. That is rule number two.

Caring only for their closest interests, the foreign powers will endorse the one with a practical and feasible  ready packed programme, well digested by international media and organisations, and elaborating balanced mutual interests. And this means they will not be talking with thirty delegates, each claiming to be the sole representative of the Egyptian People, each with his list of demands and ambitions. They will reason with who proves holding a firm control over the bulk of the revolutionary forces and effective social movements, and as well maintains strong ties with regional and international strategic allies, and I mean Turkey, Iran, South Africa, China, India and Russia. One head with one dialect. Otherwise they will empower and place their own candidate as they did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Latin America, Pakistan before that, and lots of other places. And this is rule number three.

Don’t ever forget that foreign intelligence agencies are not standing by watching the play, they are actually directing it. So don’t allow them that, and use the same means of mass communications to make your voice be heard out-loud pronouncing your proper lines as written in your own script. And that is rule number four.

Obviously further delays, exploited by concessions, negotiations, intimidations, sterile dialogues and futile public declarations of vague promises; will eventually lead to more frustration and more divisions dilating anger and igniting violence. And as violence entails more violence, an uncontrollable situation will burst opening the gates wide open for a blunt foreign intervention imposing sanctions and dictating agendas. And that is precisely what the Reactionary Forces, allied with the ex-régime’s icons along with their profiteering supporters, are aiming to achieve for reasons well known even to elementary schools pupils.

So, restore what’s left of dignity, courage and will to get the job done and regain the Nation’s sovereignty. You lived long enough, as lambs, following wrong orders given by inadequate persons in complete submission to injustices. Not knowing why or what for. Don’t you think its time to rise up roaring, as lions, and pay the dear price for your free choices and to establish real democracy? Or you will seek some false sense of security embracing your jail guardians, those jackals, and surrender to a devastating collective Syndrome of Stockholm?

I placed the bet I can afford.. What about you? It’s “Your Call”.

Egypt’s Logarithmic Maze!

1.      How many “tailor-made” laws were designed, packed, voted in parliament and passed into force by the complicity of a divided and distracted, not to say inexistent or maybe servile, opposition?

2.      How many (un)constitutional adjustments (oriented changes) passed unobserved by both seeds of the parliament? (As-Shura & As-Sha’ab. It just needs that some of the opposition “Honourables” refrain from the vote or not being present to allow the wrong doing).

3.      How many “Honourables”, whether delegates or senators really devoted their mandate time entirely for the people, and not only and exclusively for their caste’s private benefits?

4.      How many of “Them” did abandon his/her private exercise while serving the mandate? (Lawyers to leave the practice and their private legal firms, doctors to leave their private clinics and apply for absence leave from public/private appointments before joining or presenting candidacy…etc.)

5.      What influence, over the country’s political, economic and social sorts, had the imposed monopoly of all parliamentary committees majority into the hands of the governing party?

6.      What impact did the public funding, to major media and mass communications mediums, produced over the country’s political, economic and social education?

7.      Why the opposition parties remained silent and never succeeded to move the mass?

8.      Where were the opposition parties hiding when the shameful flagrant looting of the country’s resources have been going on in the form of treaties, contracts, protocols, accords, monopolies…etc?

9.      When, in our modern history, a general deployment of social forces and movements to collect signatures for the purpose of obliging the governing bodies to abide by the people’s will? (Except in 1919).

10.  Who decided to substitute the term “Civil Servant” by “Honourable”?

11.  What could be our reason for accepting to pay “Them” golden salaries, privileges, benefits and wages; and let “Them” do whatever pleases “Them” and their caste’s objectives not ours?

12.  Who will answer in detail these legitimate questions?

13.  What political ideas inspire Egypt’s declared national and international policies?

14.  Why did we allowed “Them” to ruin our lives, our health, our culture and our economy?

15.  Where is it written that we must remain obedient to the international monetary institutions orders?

16.  Why our intellectual class didn’t inform us of the dangers and hazardous results of that kind of “follow the herd” obedient practices?

17.  What was the real impact of the religious institutions, over the past 60 years, on the overall Egyptian “Cultural Behaviour”?

18.  Why did we permit such a “Horde” to experiment continuously the wrong policies? (in education, health, agriculture, culture, labour, economy…etc).

19.  When did “Scientific Research” had any influence over political decisions?

20.  What reason(s) is (are) there for not having anymore: Om Kolthum, Taha Hussein, Abbas El Akkad, Moustafa Musharrafa, Saad Zaghloul, Moustafa Kamel, Mohamed Farid, El Ghazaly, Moustafa El Nahas…?

There are thousands similar questions buzzing, loud at a million decibels rate and fast at light speed velocity (just because the Neutrinos speed isn’t completely proven yet), inside my brain and between my ears. I am sure that the moment we would honestly answer at least these few I mentioned here above, will be the moment that we will be able to confidently answer this classic question:

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”.

Politicians.. enough.

The indecent and irresponsible show which most of you are performing, is no longer tolerable by the largest portion of the citizens from every political alignment.

Your acting attentively and solely for your private or your political party’s interests, small or grand they may be, ignoring the sovereign interests of the country, is bringing it towards disaster and is causing an irrecoverable damage to its credibility.

Realise that the larger part of the population doesn’t favour trust or respect any longer for many of you, and that they don’t have the minimum intention to grant a political class similar as you, save very few exceptions, the opportunity to represent them and express their hopes and needs that such a class, or should I say caste, have deserted and withdrawn far away from its horizons.

The actual crisis that is dangerously demolishing the world economy, our country included, demands seriousness, competence, credibility, sense of state and love for own country as essential prerequisites enabling a fairly safe exit out of that delicate and preoccupying moment. However it is quite evident that the largest part of this caste doesn’t possess these characteristics. On the contrary it was structured on purpose, several decades ago, of unprepared and incompetent elements without any perception whatsoever of the country’s problems, or of the gravity of the moment; over and above their flagrant lack of a worldly vision to observe and consider the possible future scenarios awaiting us.

As well, part of the economic environment, the one that doesn’t live by true market values and honest competition rules, have earned itself the major responsibility of the situation we’ve been driven into. Because, in fact, for too long it developed strong ties with that political caste, based upon opportunities and momentum conveniences, sustaining it in many ways, even becoming part of it if not being ‘it’, though never refraining it to the sense of duty for the good interest of the country.

Now the gravity of the situation calls upon all components of the society to unite and explore together , in the most responsible, serious and competent manner, the possible ways out of that critical situation for the benefit of all. To give a practical positive prospects to the future of our younger generations, to create and protect job opportunities and to guarantee to all citizens a dignified way of life, especially to those mostly in need.

The above is not my address to the Egyptian Political Class, it is  the most sincere translation I am able provide for an open letter published yesterday, Saturday October 1^st 2011, on a full paid page on all Italian national newspapers, written and signed by Mr. Diego DELLA VALLE the well known industrial figure: president of TODD’s, owner of the football club FIORENTINA, brilliant member of the Italian Industrials Confederation, and many more local and international economic and financial roles he, and his family before him, represents and administers for over four generations in these parts; and most important with no political ambitions.

I believe it suits very well our situation in Egypt. So, if you wish, you may publish it and pass it on your twits and blogs, though please honouring the signature of Mr. DELLA VALLE, and my translation.

Who’s fooling who? Between Max WEBBER and Ahmad EZZ!

For decades they(*)  have been trying to convince us that “Efficiency” is “Market” and “Private”, while “Waste” meant all what is aligned with “State” and “Public”. Consequently any needed “Recovery” to heal an agonising economy, must necessarily pass through the only viable safe way: “Privatisations”!

I say that is pure semantics! Not to say stupidity or idiocy. It is just a blundering false rumor dispatched for evident truth on purpose to slip our wallets out from the trouser’s back pocket with the most serene dexterity.

I doubt that the “Protestant Ethics” has truly produced the “Ascetic Capitalism” and “Virtuous Market” that the good old Max Webber explained and sustained; because, in today’s world, the “Spirit Of Capitalism” is made of another paste: it is depraved, corrupt, profiteer, and waster (of other’s money of course). So in that context, privatisations turn out to be the “Selling-Off the public thing” (giving away at very reduced or unrealistic prices), and with “Villainous Squandering of public money”. Certainly not “Recovery”, “Reforms”, or “Healing The Economy”.

The Selling-off the public thing? Like “Fixed Assets”, for instance the public real estate belongings, which would call for the order to “sell all and immediately”. That’s so, to the advantage of this or that lobbyist who happens to be on watch. And if he wishes to double the asset’s cubature for better future speculative ends? Peace and patience.. A reasonable “Incentive” in the hands of the administration’s “front man”, the man with the red pen, would ease the matter and move things ahead; anyway the rules governing urban design have long been blown away, for the poor man of the sad administration needs to secure re-election/nomination and to possibly enjoy a peaceful yet luxurious retirement. By now this is common news.

Squandering of Public Wealth? Well, did you think that handing over the fundamental services (education, health, energy, water supply, sewage, trash and garbage…etc) into the hands of private operators really produces savings and boost economy? You bet! Running rivers of cash have ended up into the extra-large pockets of friends and relatives, companies of convenience, consultants paid their weight in gold. And also that has become a daily common news.

Having embraced, since my prime, the liberal democratic ideas, I never believed of any opposition separating “Public or Private” from “State and Market”. In my opinion they collude! In spite of those poor simpletons who still believe, and follow, the neo-liberalist deceptive and misleading prescriptions.

Yes, they collude at the highest levels, as in the “Oil Wars”, same as in the medium/low levels, also extremely costly, like the scandals tarnishing our societies in fervent frequency - from trivial embezzlements, bribery, or unfit food imports; passing by tax evasion and up to the building trade mafias or the fortunate grants for public resources and services monopolies entailing corrupt contracting manipulations (water, gas, energy, health, education, agriculture…etc) to finally reach the buy & sell of electorate, or even worse those of the Parliament’s Delegates and Senators - thus steadily turning the immoral into morally acceptable practices with their own gurus, followers and defenders, to the extent of becoming the system itself, and as such become the normal daily life common news!

Always at our own expenses, we the simple innocent honest ordinary citizens; whom our clan is shrinking day after day and are condemned to turn into the helpless and hopeless minority! Who else will absorb the devastating outcome of continuous inflations and currency devaluations? Those resulting from accumulated overdue loans topped by interests that someone, because there is always this someone, with confident deep serene voice kept explaining, day and night, how urgent the loans were needed. To feed the poor or cover the naked? Not at all, they were urgently needed to finance “Privatisations”!!?

Isn’t the actual resident economic crisis, overwhelming the entire globe, the logic outcome of this new breed of genetically manipulated Capitalism? A Capitalism that doesn’t have anything to do with the one Webber extracted from the womb of the protestant doctrine, to lead the world towards progress and prosperity via sound moral values of equal opportunity, hard work, scientific research, devotion, tolerance, cultural exchange, civil discipline, honesty, and individual competence for fair competitiveness.

The above is the view of the scholar part in me; the other part: the Muslim practicing believer (as thus I hope to be), would add one more thought:

“To save our ‘Nation’, and the rest of the world, from those dangers jeopardising humanity, we should practically demonstrate the virtues and benefits of the ‘Resources Based Economy’ as detailed in the Holy Quran and as proven throughout history by the just and prosperous governance over a widely spread Unified Nation.. The time when it really was a Nation”.
