Keep away from control, from becoming a slave to the global system (don't touch the 'gold')... okay, but how? Even if you were to stop buying coca-cola (for instance), and you want to switch to root-beer and make it for yourself at home... you still need to get the materials somehow. Any transaction is going to be tainted. I would LOVE to get away from such a system and it isn't just Muslims that are starting to understand the dangers here, although we see the issue in a very different way. There are some who are trying to live money-less but I've always wondered how that concept would work on a global scale. Those who are doing it are somewhat privileged in that they can borrow from their neighbour or use free internet in the library etc. (but they are still obtaining stuff/services that are tainted by the global system); still, can we all do so when everything we do is so intimately involved with the system? We're all implicated, even if we don't deal in interest.

I'm stuck on the how. Mind you, the video froze on me at around the 1 hour mark so I'll have to continue watching it to see what else he says, he really connected the dots that were floating around in my mind very neatly thus-far.

I suspect his opinion on how is going to lie in a unified ummah.

(This may be one post I end up deleting if I feel utterly foolish for voicing my opinions here but I wanted to engage in this debate in hopes that I can learn insha'Allah so please forgive my ignorance and faults).
