Discussion About Dinar and Dirham Currency at Umar Vadillo’s FaceBook

In his profile Umar Vadillo wrote:

“Some people think we are just selling gold and silver coins, but they are wrong -they are only looking at the surface in which they dwell. If they had Taqwa they would reflect on their own sickness and join our common struggle fisabilillah to spread Trust in Allah, our firm belief in the unremitting authority of His Commands, and our unshakable commitment to join Allah and His Messenger in His war against Riba.”

Some Muslims agree with what Umar wrote, while others don’t.
Some who disagree such as Adrian Chin wrote:

Jewish Capitalists are Leech to the World

King of Pop, Michael Jackson said: “The Jews suck like leeches!” He said that because his 2 Jewish Financial Consultant sucked him up. After saying that, the Jewish Financial Consultants sue Jackson for millions of dollar.

What famous men have to say about Jews:

Jews are capitalists from beginning.

For example, in Prophet Muhammad’s era, there was a Jew who owned a well. But people should pay for him to get water. Muhammad asked his friend to buy the well and let the people get the water for free.

In Islam, vast land, water, and fire (energy such as oil and coal) are belong to all people. Not monopoly by a few of capitalist.

Let’s Use Gold, Silver, and Copper as Global Currency!

Currently some countries ask for the new global currency to replace US Dollar. The exchange rate between US Dollar and Local currency in many countries are very unstable and causing many monetary crises. For example in Indonesia, in 1946 USD 1 = IDR 1.88. In 2009 the rate become USD 1 = IDR 12,000!

In 1970 the Pilgrimage (Hajj) cost in Indonesia only Rp 182,000. In 2009 it become naik jadi US$ 3.500 (Rp 36,750,000). The Rupiah value drops 201 times  (20,100%!) in less than 40 years!

 

In Zimbabwe in 2003, USD 1 = 697.42 Zimbabwe Dollar. But in 2008 the rate become USD 1 =3.333.333.333.333 Zimbabwe Dollar! Inflation and prices change happen every hour ruining the economics! The funny thing is, Zimbabwe actually rich with natural resources such as antimony, asbestos, chromium, coal, cobalt, copper, gold, graphite, iron ore, magnesite, nickel, silver, and tin. Gold, chrome, and asbestos are the major mineral exports (Microsoft Encarta). With area of 390,000 km2 and population of 13 million people, Zimbabwe should be a prosper country. Yet, the “important” and uncertain of US Dollar value make all those natural resources worth almost nothing in dollar! The exchange rate is unclear. Set by speculators only.
