If we look at the first post, we can see threads of the same issues amongst Muslims.

Salafism = Protestant Islam
Secularism, humanism, democracy and worldly pleasure seeking is the goal of human life not the Pleasure of Worshipping God
Banking and Usury are 'natural'.

We as Muslims born in these times must really ask ourselves if we want to be living our lives based on the ideas of the the European Renaissance which has its own particular history, or if we want Islam.

I have met non Muslims who have spent their lives fulfilling their desires, fame, wealth, popularity, youth, good looks etc. but they have become depressed because they know it will all end at death and make it worthless...do we want the same as these, or do we want to please Allah

and make Him our Goal, so we welcome death and old age? The wise option is open to us all and we can start right now.
