As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,

Don’t forget that the money-changers were operating not in banks, but in the temple, the Israelites’ equivalent of the Ka’ba mosque.

Usury rewards greed and creates poverty (this is my limited understanding). Religion or no religion, all humans are susceptible to the lure of easy money. Take the National Lottery for example which is effectively a tax on the gullible and stupid (perhaps the latter is a little harsh).

One of my favourite radicals of all time is Jesus (peace be on him). I would have loved to have been there as he overturned the money lenders’ tables. What would he do to the banks today? And how unpopular would that make him?

There’s only one religion that actually permits usury, considering its followers are such a minority it seem surprising that it is so wide-spread.

“Astonishingly, 2:279 is the only place in the Qur’an that war is declared by Allah and His Messenger.”

Of course, the only time Jesus gets physical in the New Testament is when he encounters the money changers

Fuck the economy! Fuck growth! Fuck capitalism!

Oh, wait, it fucked itself. Again.

Three cheers for the global collapse of capitalism and invented numbers in a world where everything has a price and is up for sale but where nothing has any value.

The time is ripe and right to do things a little differently and the MoD kindly pointed the way out a little while ago:

===================
The Middle Class Proletariat

The middle classes could become a revolutionary class, taking the role envisaged for the proletariat by Marx. The globalization of labour markets and reducing levels of national welfare provision and employment could reduce peoples’ attachment to particular states. The growing gap between themselves and a small number of highly visible super-rich individuals might fuel disillusion with meritocracy, while the growing urban under-classes are likely to pose an increasing threat to social order and stability, as the burden of acquired debt and the failure of pension provision begins to bite. Faced by these twin challenges, the world’s middle-classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest.
===================

Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains!
