The feeling is mutual. Your child like belief in Keynesian economic voodoo scares me deeply. It actually perpetuates the myth that governments are a positive force for social change, something that they are clearly not. Your unceasing Keynesianism explains why you have such a rabid, almost messianical belief in the essential goodness of Siad Barre regime, or any regime for that matter.

Stance on Islam? How insulting. I do not have a 'stance' on Islam. On the contrary, I have a deep and abiding faith in Islam, and the concept of Rizq. Evidently, you have some problem with the Rizq of Allah, and his encouragement for those more fortunate to give to the less fortunate, otherwise this nonsense does not come up.
Funny you should say that my economic ideas are non-Islamic Sadeboi, because I've had a look at what is currently referred to as 'Islamic Economics' is not really a discussion of Economic theory at all, but Government fiscal and monetary policy. Essentially, this new Economics is a rehash of failed Keynesian theory with a nice, glossy, green
Islamic sticker on it. The prohibition on Usury, excessive interest and speculation, the use of a gold and silver standard (which Keynesian's hate), the encouragement Islam gives to giving charity (which Welfarism destroys) and the absence of regulation are measures I fully support and believe in.
What then of your brother and his funny, non-Islamic ideas about economics? No problem there, I gather.
