Halal loans could always be an option. -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)If it's that much a necessity, we should be fighting (not necessarily literally) to create a state where we can do all these things without problems.(Original post by Tpos)
but I was talking about it being a necessity. Do you think it's ok for Muslims to not become doctors, teachers etc? Would that not be bad for us? -

I liked his idea of "wearing the cross even though it's what you claim your lord was killed on" etc.

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)I realize that Islamic banks are just playing an annoying game with the interest by changing it's name and proposing Islamic alternatives, but scholars have agreed most are quite dodgy. But I was think more unproffesional halal loans.
For example: Ethnic women (mostly somalis) have a system whereby each contribute a fixed sum of money every month. Each person has a prescribed month where they take all the sum of money that has been contributed by everyone in the system. It could be 9,000 or less. And so once the person has taken the amount of money, he/she must keep contributing till the 'round' of loans is over (normally a years time). So everyone benefits really. -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)Ooooh this, asians have it too, they call it "kamehti/kameyti". They set it at the start and say "it's gonna be £2000 so everyone needs to contribute this much per week/fortnight - your name will come up eventually so you can take the money when your name comes up" or something. I never thought of that!(Original post by HeavyTeddy)

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)Muslims need unity before they can go around fighting for khilafa! atm there's too many people going around calling others kafir or "no you're not following the ahlus sunnah, I am" and all that.(Original post by S'Class)
If it's that much a necessity, we should be fighting (not necessarily literally) to create a state where we can do all these things without problems.
And then you'd need to think about how exactly it would work - who would be the leader, how it would be decided, how exactly it would be fought for etc etc etc -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)If the Muslims are serious about it, they would do it. It wouldn't be easy - they would be called terrorists straight away. Maybe there already is such a group/s.(Original post by Tpos)

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)Have you not heard of Hizb ut Tahrir?(Original post by S'Class)

And it's not easy because there's no real substance to the idea, people can't answer those questions of what it will actually be like, and how to attain it. It seems very dreamy. -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)you're not getting my point, it's being 'attempted' by the Hizb ut Tahrir, that's what they're group is for but it's not possible/real action isn't taking place because people don't know what to do/how to go about achieving it/ and what exactly the 'it' is! imo(Original post by S'Class)
I meant groups that are taking action. -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)Joining the modern world. Turkey has a growing economy, and actually has respect around the world, unlike Iran and Saudi - which are both governed by fanatics who care about getting personally wealthy and god. Turkey has two main problems - the treatment of the Kurds and achieving a healthy balance between secularism and non-secularism; I think it is on track to resolving these. It has a stable government, is becoming a great power and is evolving into a proper democracy. Places like Saudi are miserable places, and the world thinks they are, I'm sorry but this whole idea of a caliphate based on the Quran is never, ever going to happen. Mention Turkey to a non-muslim and they will say positive stuff, mention Saudi and they will shudder.(Original post by rupertj)
What is your definition of 'going forward'?

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)The problem is that lots of Muslims will agree that the governance of Saudi Arabia is corrupt- the monarchy are unelected elites who arose to power thanks to the western world, and the 'caliphate' will be restored with the overthrow of these dictators (hence why there has been overwhelming support for the arab spring by many Islamist groups)- what they don't believe in is liberal democracy and its corrupt moral framework that heralds individualism, selfishness, the deconstruction of traditional social values etc that the caliphate is supposed to instill.(Original post by Ferdowsi)

the problem is that no group has actually detailed the mechanism to which this social justice can be instilled, which is an issue that is inherent with anything that claims prophecy. -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)there have already been groups which have talked about these practical measures, as you have mentioned, Hizb is a good example. The problem is that such groups fail to take into account the psychological concepts of the individual, and instead fall for the same type of romanticism that shaped the earlier communist vision that was heralded by Lenin. Yet at the same time they denounce socialism as a means of political or social organisation.(Original post by Tpos)

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)omg noone is blaming the system... wtf are you talking about?? we're just saying there are alrenatives(Original post by In2deep)
Should we blame ourselves as implementers or should we blame the system?
Very true, especially your last point, we as Muslims except more from a country that claims to implement Islamic Law, its shortcomings are clear for everyone to see especially in oppression and corruption.
I liked his idea of "wearing the cross even though it's what you claim your lord was killed on" etc.
