Destroy a corporation for Palestine

This is a cute idea but short sighted. Muslims cannot get along inside of muslim countries organizing them on a global basis into an economic powerhouse is a pipe dream.

It’s time for some economic jihad. Let’s destroy a corporation for Palestine.
-I suggest you start with the banks that helped damage the US economy.

Muslims must adopt a comprehensive economic strategy in this era of globalization.

If we don’t, then we will be worthy of contempt because we will have become our own worst enemies.
-Muslims have always been the biggest threat to muslims, declare jihad on your nearest mosque.

One and a half billion Muslims acting in unison can have a great influence on the global economy.
-Imagine what you could do if you actually had working economies. The failure of Islamic leadership to build working infrastructures has doomed a billon muslims to a life of poverty.

Indeed, the Islamic ummah is already a key component of the world economy since a market of 1.5 billion people cannot be ignored. But unfortunately, most Muslims have not realized this fact and the profits from our purchases are still being used against us.

When will we wake up?
-When you stop living in the seventh century.

However, it’s not easy to be a jihadi. The struggle must be fought on the physical, mental, and spiritual planes. True jihad must be fought on all fronts. It must be waged on the cultural, military, intellectual, ideological, psychological, spiritual, and economic fronts.

But in this era of globalization, it is essential that Muslims learn how to correctly conduct economic jihad.

First of all, we must not give money to the enemy.
-That would be the people that control you, the clerics and your political leadership.

Even now, the enemies of Islam are laughing at us, saying, “Look at the foolish Muslims. We have brainwashed them so completely that they are giving us their money. They are buying products manufactured by our corporations and are oblivious to the fact that we are using the revenues to pay for weapons that are killing their own people and to fund programs meant to undermine their own culture and way of life. They are financing the destruction of their own civilization.”
-Actually we are saying “look at those backward savages”

Shame on us. This is true for a large segment of the Muslim ummah.

Thus, clearly, it is time to reform ourselves.
-Duh!

And then we can truly begin the economic jihad.

There are about 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Although we should welcome any help from non-Muslims who believe in justice, our community, the Islamic ummah, is so large that we can do it on our own.
-Sure you can; just like you can build working societies.

There is currently a campaign calling for a boycott of Israeli products. This is a good idea, but we should expand the campaign and make it a boycott of all corporations that are financing the war on Islam.
-Boycott the blogs and email; it takes time to delete all the spam and death threats. I would have more time to post if you would just stop the nonsense.

Although it is important to target all enemy corporations, in order to achieve a quick initial victory, which would boost morale, we should especially target one giant multinational corporation.

We should first ask the executives of that corporation to stop financing the war on Islam. If they agree, we should take it off the boycott list. If they refuse, we should call for a worldwide boycott of the targeted corporation’s products with the goal of bankrupting the corporation.

The global economic crisis will help us. Many major corporations have gone bankrupt during the global economic meltdown of the past year.
-Hey genius your governments are also suffering. The US economy hickups and look what happened to the rest of the world. Your worst nightmare would be a world without the US.

This economic jihad is a novel way to turn the crisis into an opportunity.

A corporation from the U.S. military-industrial complex would be a very good target to begin with.
-Banks, start with the banks.

As a matter of fact, many Islamic countries are buying arms and military equipment from the very same corporations that manufactured the weapons, jets, and tanks that are being used by the Israelis to kill Muslims in Gaza.

Can’t we produce our own arms and military equipment in the Islamic world?
-First you would have to teach muslims a work ethic, strip away their sense of entitlement and teach them some skills. With effort you might get a working factory in a dozen or so years but you would still have to hire westerners to design, build and operate it.

Or, if not, can we at least make our arms purchases from corporations that are not supplying the weapons that are killing Muslims?
-Name one.

If we do not take action now, we will be making a serious strategic error and committing a grave sin. And we will have to hang our heads in shame for failing to act while certain Muslim countries are financing the destruction of Islamic civilization.
-Poor babies, if Islamic civilization could stand on its own merit there would be no threat.

The beauty of economic jihad is that it is completely legal. Even Muslims who would not participate in other forms of jihad out of fear of persecution and arrest could join this struggle.
-Screw it join a real jihad, race on over to Afghanistan and we will take it from there. Do not be a half jihadist, grab your sandals and join the Taliban, allah ackinberries.

Of course, the enemies of Islam will say that economic jihad is economic terrorism, but when that happens we must act swiftly on the ideological front to prove that such actions are totally legal. After all, people have been organizing economic boycotts for many years.

So, Muslim brothers and sisters, let us take up the struggle of economic jihad now. Destroy a corporation for Palestine.
-Bank, damn you, start with the banks.
