@KarasekUS -Exactly. We Muslims and christians have the same enemy- Usury. Usury has driven mankind to poverty, the rich are permanently rich and the poor are forever poor. This is evil.

@drzakir123 As i wrote, I don't know Quran, I am catholic and these are the same moral principles taught by the Church: charity and "you shall not steal". These principles are universal and even people who try to discern right from wrong only intellectually, recognize them as part of the natural law. And as the scholar said, usury was forbidden by the Church and fought against in the christian world for centuries.

@KarasekUS point taken.what u have said basically, its is the gist of quran.its is the central issue i.e how to distribute wealth justly.personally i always try to read quran keeping the points u raised in focus.thanks

@drzakir123 I don't know Quran, but I think it is not an issue by itself. The exploitation is the issue, when the rich become richer at the expense of the poor. And that's what this lecture addresses. We are NOT created equal, we are all blessed differently, so as long as people get ahead with honest work and entrepreneurial flare, it is good. We need successful people to pull everybody up, including the poor. The spread is a socialist issue, and by vilifying the rich they bring everybody down.
-
@KarasekUS but what about the gap/spread between rich and poor.it always widen in this system.i may be wrong but these issues r more than 1400 years old and i havent seen the clarity with which these adress as in quran.thanks

@xXxPhyZedxXx Could you tell how does he contradict finance or economic/ Mind you everything is not black or white. so there maybe possibility of smaller portion going to poor but larger portion to reach
-
I agree with most of what he sais in regards to money. But I see one error - an economy is not, or does not have to be a zero-sum-game. An economy in which the rich are permanently rich does not necessarily equate to the poor being permanently poor. The amount of overall wealth can grow in which case the poor can grow richer as well.

@xXxPhyZedxXx Bahahahahahahaha that was a funny question. OF course not Xxx but I can tell by your tone that your smart and that you are bias toward Arabs & Muslims. Please inbox me your email address because a year from now I want to see what your view points will be.

@JCGCINC One more things Fiat currencies have collapsed, it happend in Germany 1930's. People have learned a lot since then and it hasnt since. It goes up and down but thats the nature of the beast. Are we supposed to give up the most amazing prosperity anyones expiriced to trade camels?!

@JCGCINC As for Israel, yes it only exists because the allies created it... point? Every country was created at one point. Israel happened to be taken from people with ties to Nazi's (yes there was a palestinian NAZI regime) and was given to people who suffered the tragedy of humans history on this earth. Yes they've made mistakes, but if you had arabs blowing themselves up everywhere how would you deal with it? Noone could lead Israel to "perfect decisions" as there's no way to please everyone.
Yes.The Jews are controlling the Christians and the Muslims in deception.
The Jews are getting richer.Instead the poor will become the slaves.

Looks like Muslims and Christians have the same enemy.
