WORLD ISLAMIC ECONOMIC FORUM (WIEF) SERVES AND BENEFITS THE NON-MUSLISM COUNTRIES MORE THAN THE MUSLIM ONES.
…MANY
ARAB AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES ARE STILL IN DIRE STRAITS SINCE IT FIRST CAME INTO
EXISTENCE WITH MANY WHICH ARE NOW ALMOST DESTROYED BY INFIGHTING AND EXTERNAL
PROVOCATION.

It is
quite obvious that the organizers of the so-called World Islamic Economic Forum
or WIEF, does not care or know who they are actually serving or benefiting the
most, the Muslim countries or the non-Muslim ones.
The
truth remains that since it first came into existence, there are many Arab
countries that have suffered, being destroyed, with their economy in shambles.
This
happened through infighting and mostly by external provocation, by unseen but
known and obvious enemies of Islam, the countries that had never ever used
their veto power to protect Arab and Muslim interests in the United
Nations.
Yet, the
organizers of the WIEF can look elsewhere taking their act and with their
officers and the so-called leaders of the Arab and Muslim countries giving
comments and speeches as though they do not realize that the Muslim World that
they like to talk about truly does not exist.
And that
cooperation between and amongst Muslim countries and those of the non-Muslim
ones favor the later.
WIEF has
indeed benefited the non-Muslim countries more than the Muslim ones.
If it is
that interesting and truly beneficial, then it can be seen in the way Muslims
interact to each other through commerce, which is what the Prophet Muhammad,
pbuh, had also been engaged in, for which had become the tool of Islamic
propagation, which had also caused Melaka to become the most important center
for the spread of Islam in Southeast Asia.
Unfortunately,
trading as encouraged by WIEF, has not managed to do this.
The
organizers of WIEF and the so-called Arab and Muslim leaders are not fully
aware why they are happy to be invited to attend this forum, when it is not
service the real cause of Islam in anyway.
It can
be said to be effective if it can also help cause the expansion of trading
amongst Muslim countries and between the non-Muslim ones, which can in the end
cause the economic hold of the Muslim countries by the west to be further
reduced, with the American dollar and European euros and other currencies of
the non-Muslim countries depreciating in value and worth.
But this
has not happened. It can never happen because the organizers of the WIEF, does
not really know why they are organizing this sort of forum.
To them it is no more than to counter the World Economic Forum (WEF) that is held in
It was a
good start. But WIEF did not know how to enhance their prestige and reputation
other than to be the counter-WEF.
Whereas
the WEF can rest on the earlier achievements of the countries in the west which
have been fully developed, in all fields, WIEF has not managed to even think
why they were able to achieve what they had managed to do, so that the WIEF,
too can encourage other Muslims to go into the line of businesses that those
countries in the west especially America had done to uplift their economic
performance, so that they can influence not only the economic development of
the Muslim countries, but also to promote Unity amongst the Muslims in the
world.
WIEF has
a very narrow-minded view of the Muslim World and also the world as a whole.
They are
happy to get as many prominent Muslim and non-Muslim leaders to attend their
annual conference.
And these so-called Muslim leaders are normally eager to attend it, because of the prestige attached, where they can read the prepared texts which do not espouse anything unusual or new, other than to repeat what has been said by their counterparts and also themselves before.
