I fully agree on teh bottom paragraph

regarding what defines someone as muslim, jewish, etc, its not about practice, its about belief.

If someone believes in teh fundamental beliefs of Islam, they are a muslim, namely that there is only one God or creator, that we can ask from that creator without the need of "lesser gods", statues and intermediaries, and that the creator is nothing like a human being or even imaginable to us, something external to the universe and all powerful and knowing. Secondly that muhammad SAW is the final prophet and messengerm and taht the qur'an is his message that is the word of God. If a person believes this, they are a muslim.

Im sure you get the idea, same applies to other faiths except replace the above paragraph with their key beliefs.

I agree man, muslims could be worldl leaders if they get their acts together inshallah

They are like the neo salafis , small in number, violent, wealthy - petrol dollars, they own eastern medias etc

It is because the Jews get their power from the magic of riba and fractional reserve banking. It is a magic trick like Pharoahs magicians perform.

Also because they made themselves seem non-threatening to the Christians, got educated, moved to capital cities, got influential jobs, tied up with the Freemasons and business elites and also became influential in the media.

Numbers are useless if they are mostly from the disempowered masses. Muslims need to realize that a great way to serve Allah is to follow the path the Jews did (educational, social and economic rising and development, public relations etc), but without compromising the religion or doing anything haram.

The main reason is that they have uses Ribba / interest to inslave the Majority of the world ...

So that Ummat e Muslimah doesnt have to waste their time after these things. The peasants do the work but the prince enjoys the final product. The prince however is busy preparing to be a king.

Anyways, dont believe the hype, there are a lot more Jews than what they claim.

Not to mention they usually rip stuff off other people.

Jews have a great sense of unity in their community, Israel is a strong collectivist country.

I think it was Sheikh Zahir Mahmood who said in one of his talks that the jews of israel are upon the sunnah of this Khalifah of our past (I can't remember his name from the top of my head, I think it begins with M)...but anyways, in palestine for every israeli killed dozens of Palestinians are killed in return, and I remember a while ago, the Israelis freed 100 palestinian prisoners for the release of one israeli soilder held in captivity by palestinians.

The funny thing is jews within themselves are extremely divided, often they give "kufr" label on each other, however, they set aside all differences and unite as an ethnicity against outsiders.

Hollywood is run by Arab Jews, I am sure you have heard of the term "Old Money". What is portrayed in American pop culture (movies, music etc) is not really American culture or American people, its Jewish culture. Its Jewish slang. Its Jewish comedy, Jewish ideas.

Just if you live/work among them for some time you can connect the dots and see just how great of an influence they have on the world, they got an entire population speaking and even thinking just like them and dressing how they want them to dress.

There are two factors for their successes:

* They view themselves as a minority and potentially under threat (by Muslims and others), hence their unity is stronger. Minority groups are always tied together in a better knot.
* They are less a religious group and more a racial group (thats how they perceive themselves; dispite them being from different ethnicities). Hence, they have a racial-superiority complex about them, this also helps them in being united and helping each other out, and most of all helping their "nation" out (Israel). This is no different than what we have from Chinese nowadays, and formerly from Japan, Germany, Russia. Even those chinese who dont like their govt, they love their country and strive to pursue glory for their nation.

The true jews are the "Mizrahis", the jews who are brown and from the middle-east. The palestinians themselves are more jewish than most zionist-jews, who are from europe, russia, central-asia.

Problem is, most jews consider themselvs part of a racial group, and the SAME racial group. This is just to justify their occupation Israel, claiming it is originally theirs. However, this mentality has also seeped into those who dont care much for "Judaism", but the racialism makes them become zionist and hence continue to identify themselves with "jewry".


I do not care much for personal wealth, but the "gains" of a community can have many forms and uses. And indeed, this pleases Allah... In the old day, a third of all children died in infancy. Our Prophet (sa) himself lost many of his children. The modern innovations and inventions in the medical field have totally turned it around. Children no longer need to suffer, women no longer need to suffer during or after birth. MANY lives are saved now. And vaccines have helped to prevent diseases/handicaps. Fans and ACs have helped to make it cooler for the Muslims in the masjid.

Information-technology has made it easier for muslims to communicate with their loved ones, seek advice from the reputed scholars, and spread news/truth which must be known by their fellow man/brethren. Cars and planes have made it much easier for the Musafir. Planes and ships make it possible for people from around the world to go to Hajj. And it makes it easier to do business/trade the way the Prophet (sa) took the caravan to syria, and the sahaba and Khadija (ra) did trade all around Arabia. Surely, these are "successes", and surely these please Allah (swt). Because ultimately every one of these innovations have helped the Muslims, and helped the cause of Allah. And surely our Rasul could have made use of each and every one of the aforementioned.

this is true and on the converse the Muslims mostly no longer identify truly with Islam,
they mostly identify with their race first and Islam second
and everywhere Muslims are sticking together in their racial groups against the rest
and within this they are sticking together with their national group against the rest
and within these they are sticking together with their tribal group against the rest
and within their tribal group they are sticking together with their broader families against the rest
and they are wrapped up in the world.

people don't see themselves as Muslims first any more, they have become Pakistani-Muslims instead of just Muslims from Pakistan and Turkish Muslims instead of just Muslims from Turkey.

When most Muslims are so far from the way of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) it is no wonder that Darussalam has become somewhere the kafiroon can use as their toilet, their bomb's target and then take whatever they want from it when they want.
