Its a good start, but it needs more content and some cleaning up
This article sounds extremely interesting, but it doesn't really contain any concrete facts or even cited sources for its assertions. Take this, for instance:
"Scholars have highlighted the similarities between the Islamic economic system and socialist theory, e.g., both are against unearned income. Islam does allow private ownership but natural resources and large industries are owned collectively."
Which scholars have highlighted the similarities between the Islamic economic system and socialist theory? Where in the Koran does it call for collective ownership of large industries and natural resources? -- ktaylor
Both Qaddafi and Bhutto were nationalists, not Islamic clerics or anything like that. I don't think there is any Islam in this socialism at all.Bless sins 16:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
For background information, please see RFC/U and Cleanup. The contributions by Jagged85 suffer from severe presentism such as the claim that a companion of Muhammed was the founder of Islamic socialism! This issue is a repeat of what had been exemplarily shown here, here, here, here or here. I have removed thus all contents added by Jagged85. Regards Gun Powder Ma (talk) 09:14, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- I wrote the part about Abu Dharr last year. That was not the work of Jagged85, who I've never heard of until now. I found out about the controversy over his work only when investigating why my contribution was deleted. I'm not getting involved in any controversy over that individual. However, I supported my own contribution with abundant cites from solidly reputable sources. I can see how the word "founder" can be called into question. I'll reword it to say Abu Dharr's views on economics and social justice in Islam are credited by modern Islamic socialists as their inspiration and a principal source of their thought. I believe my contribution is perfectly valid; in fact, a history of Islamic socialism with no mention of Abu Dharr would be incomplete. So I'm restoring my contribution as I originally wrote it, with the above-noted edit. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 11:59, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
