Salam, Boycott tu bagus, tapi idea untuk boycott satu kuasa ekonomi yang dah establish lebih 70 tahun kena ada stratergi. Bukan dengan emosi. Salah satu caranya adalah menyediakan alternatif.
Saya pernah mendengar Dr Roslan (USM) membincangkan tentang pemboikotan produk Yahudi. Setiap produk yang beliau nyatakan, setiap itu beliau berikan alternatif. Contohnya, "Jangan makan KFC, tapi makan Radix FC." Pendekatan sebegini lebih praktikal berbanding dengan mengekang semua perkara tanpa memberi jalan keluar. Malangnya, sedihnya, kita tidak berusaha melahirkan alternatif-alternatif tersebut. Hanya asyik berkata JANGAN dan menghukum HARAM. Sedangkan Tuhan yang mengharamkan zina pun memberi jalan keluarnya melalui perkahwinan. Kenapa kita tak belajar metod ini daripada Al-Quran? "Dan tiadalah yang mengambil pelajaran dan peringatan melainkan orang-orang yang berfikiran." - Ali Imran ayat 7. Hakikatnya, kita tidak menyediakan sebuah gedung untuk compete dengan TESCO, sebaliknya hanya menyuruh orang ramai jangan beli barangan keperluan kat situ. "Dah dia jual pampers lebih murah dari kedai mamak depan tu. Mamak tu pun pi beli kat TESCO jugak, lepas tu jual kat aku. Kalau aku tak pi kat TESCO, aku kena pi beli jauh. Minyak lagi nak kena consider. Masa lagi. Itu baru pampers. Banyak lagi benda lain. Akhirnya budget aku lari. Anak bini aku nanti susah. Macam ni ker Islam suruh?" Saya pernah dengar Dr Danial <http://www.mindasuper.com/> berkata, hampir semua produk halal kegunaan Muslim di seluruh dunia, dikuasai oleh orang bukan Muslim. Contoh yang paling realistik adalah ketika musim perayaan Tahun Baru Cina di Pulau Pinang. Orang Islam di sana boleh "mati", sebab semua orang cina bercuti. Itu baru dua tiga hari. Wallahu'alam.
