>>>>>>>>> Actually Islamic banks around the world performed impressively during the global financial meltdown around 2008. Western scholars are taking great interest in it and some western universities are offering classes in Islamic banking and Islamic thoughts about ecomony.
As far as slavery is concern, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) discouraged enslaving people and highly motivated people to giving freedom to slaves. He freed many slaves during his time. Hazrat Belal (RA) was a former slave and later became a Muslim leader of his time. Islam is the ONLY religion which gave wide focus to curtail/end racial discrimination. That is one of he reason why Islam is so popular among people of color.
but is far from being an economic system that can solve the problems of the present world very efficiently. The current economic systems are very complex compared to the systems that prevailed 15 hundred years ago.
>>>>>>>> It is a work in progress. Now bond marker, investments, Share market are witnessing Islamic ideals. For example US had it's first Islamic mutual fund decades ago. It has been a long time since Islamic finance houses are working in western countries.
. It must be a product of the thoughts of some economists and entrepreneurs who want to give an Islamic color to the economic system.

গতকাল আরাফার ময়দানে বিশ্বের লাখ লাখ আল্লাহ প্রেমিকের এক মহাসম্মিলন অনুষ্ঠিত হয়েছে। এ সম্মিলনে চলমান বিশ্বের প্রেক্ষাপট তুলে ধরে খুতবা প্রদান করেন সৌদি আরবের গ্রান্ড মুফতি শেখ আব্দুল আজিজ বিন আব্দুল্লাহ আলে শায়খ । খুতবায় তিনি সিরিয়াসহ আরববিশ্বের বিভিন্ন দেশের সহিংসতার বর্ণনা তুলে ধরেন। তিনি মুসলমানদের উদ্দেশ্যে বলেন, বিভক্তি, বিশৃঙ্খলা এবং সাম্প্রদায়িকতা ত্যাগ করতে হবে। কুরআন হাদীসের মূলনীতির ভিত্তিতে বিশ্বমুসলিমকে ঐক্যবদ্ধ হওয়ার জন্য তিনি আহ্বান জানান। ধর্মের শিক্ষার অনুসরণ ছাড়া কোন শান্তি মিলবে না উল্লেখ করে তিনি পরস্পর ভেদাভেদ ভুলে গিয়ে শান্তিময় অসাম্প্রদায়িক বিশ্ব প্রতিষ্ঠা করার জন্য সকলের প্রতি আহ্বান জানান। ............

Muhammad emphasized on equal treatment of all, helping the poor (Zakat), abolition of interest earnings, etc. These are all great but are still less than perfect compared to modern concepts of economic equality. For example, Muhammad emphasized on kind treatment of slaves which is a great idea, but he did not abolish the slavery.

Muhammad emphasized on equal treatment of all, helping the poor (Zakat), abolition of interest earnings, etc. These are all great but are still less than perfect compared to modern concepts of economic equality. For example, Muhammad emphasized on kind treatment of slaves which is a great idea, but he did not abolish the slavery. Islam's equality and fraternity concepts are great, but still a lot of improvements can be made upon these. As a general economic principle and philosophy it is fine, but is far from being an economic system that can solve the problems of the present world very efficiently. The current economic systems are very complex compared to the systems that prevailed 15 hundred years ago. Corporations, globalization, global warming, and stocks and shares are just a few examples. An Islamic system, if it really exists, cannot be exactly some thing that has been elaborated in the Koran or the sayings and practices of the prophet of Islam. It must be a product of the thoughts of some economists and entrepreneurs who want to give an Islamic color to the economic system. Islamic banking is one such example aimed at targeting and catering to a particular segment of customers for maximizing profit by the entrepreneurs.
Neither do you!

Peace activists will find the speech to be too general and will not find much real guidance in it. One big issue facing the Muslim Ummah now is the terrorists belonging to a Sunni sect terrorizing the Shia people and his country calling a neighboring country a serpent whose head needs to be slashed. A real interfaith dialogue is a must.
Advising the Muslim world to adopt the Islamic economic system exclusively cannot be treated as an open minded gesture.
Any way, no terrorists will be paying any attention to the speech.
Common people will be inspired by the speech no doubt. But the so called educated and politicized people with strong sectarian belief. Oone Sunni Muslim sees Hazrat Ali simply as a muscle man (that's all he could say about this companion of Muhammed). This kind of attitude has to be shaken off for peace.

Makkah, October 14:
Delivering the Haj sermon from Masjid-e-Nimra, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz on Monday said Islam was a religion of peace and condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
"Hell is the final abode for those spilling the blood of innocent human beings. Islam doesn't allow terrorism at any cost. Islam condemns violence and terrorism plaguing the world today. Muslims should demonstrate love for peace and unity," the Grand Mufti said.
He said Muslims throughout the world were going through difficult times and stressed that the global economic crisis could be controlled if the Islamic economic system was adopted. "Muslims should support the community by investing in their businesses," he urged.
According to the Grand Mufti, Muslims were facing problems because they had forgotten the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). He said the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) carried a solution to every problem. He called upon the Muslims to remain united, as success lay in their unity.
The Grand Mufti said: "The Holy Quran is the ultimate guidance for the entire humanity which should be implemented and acted upon.""Oh Muslims be God-fearing, adopt taqwa (fear of Allah), shun earning money through un-Islamic means, hold fast to the rope of Allah and don't divide into diverse schools of thought, get united against injustice," the chief mufti urged hundreds of thousands of pilgrims.
Regarding the prevailing world economic crisis, he said Islam had given a comprehensive system of economy and urged the international comm
