The War within Islam *India: Muslim Dalits a downtrodden lot <http://www.newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1403>*
The book says that the disease of social inequality was prevalent even in the Arab society during the pre-Islam and post-Islam days. To drive his point home the author asks: "If there was no inequality in Arab(ia)-where Islam was born-how does the Arabic literature contain the words, ashraf, azlaf and arzal? These three Arabic words are derived from their Arabic roots, sharf, zalf and razl which mean gentle, lowly and pariah respectively." The book does not wholly deny the theory that the Hindus who were converted to Islam carried the vestiges of their caste-based culture with them in the Muslim society. "Who denies the impact of Hinduism over Islam or vice versa…..Synthesis and compromises happen when the two cultures and civilizations meet and decide to co-exist." But if the Muslim society, the book argues, imposes the onus of the vice inequality and casteism wholly on Hindu society it is absolutely wrong.

Richards, Money, Greed, and God: Why Capitalism is the Solution And Not the Problem. Please remember Frederick Douglass. That is to say, remember the Frederick Douglass of “*power concedes nothing without a struggle*.” And I’m not sure that the struggle with market fundamentalism has even been joined yet, at least not at the level of principle where it most needs friends. … As welcome as such signs of incipient panic might be, I would much prefer to hear the definitive death rattle of *an anti-human market ideology* that serious people of faith should have long since rejected completely—and opposed with all appropriate vigour. I’m not hearing that death rattle yet. But, like Simeon, I’m not giving up hope. -- *Peter Laarman* More.<http://www.newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1400> -- Syed M.
