I would like to refer you back to my post above. Please read my statement in response to the previous posts. One statement which you said:
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make about the west being proof that mankind does not have the wisdom to make up their own laws. That, in my opinion is a pretty broad generalization considering there is much about the west that works and works quite well. Honestly PH, do you believe that mankind is doing that much better in other parts of the world
The point I am trying to make is that the west doesn't work nearly as well as people seem to think. We have a multitude of problems just like in every culture and country on earth just as you have stated. As I stated:
What our progress does is misdirect us to yet another problem that needs solving without curing the first problem.
however, I would like to suggest that despite the evil that lay outside the walls of our homes Islam has protected women from it by laying a foundation of laws in which to follow. And education and action starts within ourselves, the home, our neighbors and the rest of society. Its the butterfly affect that happens from our good actions like antibodies gaining strength and numbers to fight off disease. Although we will never be free from it on earth!
Tweety.. you somehow think I am against the west! I am not!
I think the west has done far more then muslims have in centuries. Especially in terms of giving womens their rights (although they have been taken away from all of mankind in other ways). And I am equally as passionate towards members of the muslim world who have introduced alien ideas into our religion (which I personally deem perfect and they, the muslims, attest to this fact).
My point being that Islam has given us common sense options to combat these problems on earth whilst giving us our full rights and deepest desire of justice and peace for all. Whilst doing it all so we can establish worship of God on earth and make mistakes along the way (free choice). (And this was in reference to Diamond Girls post)
That statistic came from a World bank report some time ago where they have written extensively of the woes of our current monetary system. Unfortunately my pc has a virus and I am unable to find and copy the statement. (it was also more of an analogy then bonafide statistic as it came from a memory of about 2 years ago. ).
Last of all Tweety, you need to govern yourself and your country to what you think is best! I am only stating my own personal beliefs and giving naseeha to the muslims who do not understand the common sense behind our great and fantastic religion. For me I currently believe that the perfect faith and system of Laws is Islam because it was written by God. However, I am not certain of this and could change my opinion in the future. Which is why you will not see on any of my posts that I demand another person to follow Islam. Although I do clarify a person if I feel they, who claim Islam as their faith, go against Islam in their sayings on this website. And even then I am very mild and careful considering some of the sayings on here. (although a non muslim would not understand this or a person who lacks knowledge of Islam and insight).
Many westerners have written extensively on the excellence of our faith when followed correctly. I do feel that it is upon every sincere person, who loves good, to search for that system of beliefs which is righteous or the nearest to righteousness! None of us may get it right, perhaps only a few, and perhaps we are all right but if, with pure sincerety in our hearts , we seek the truth then nobody can fault our intentions!
