I worked extensively in Shenzhen (though it was a breath of fresh air to get back to the states), and it is a great ecosystem but I do want to address something not covered in the documentary. Their are a lot of things you need to be carefu

This seems looks like it was designed to be abused. If this is used, their must be additional training for cops on how to make a seizure decision, and major repercussions if they seize money from a person who is then proven to be innocent.

Yeah you are right. I meant to write Malaysia which is a Sunni Muslim nation.

Just to add, but a lot of responsibility is being dumped on western nations who are acting out of humanity. But no one is mentioning the complete failure of extremely rich and near by Muslim nations from doing anything (Saudi Arabia, Iran,

This comment should be at the top. So many westerners who bash their own governments, communities and beliefs without any real knowledge of the situations and what caused them.

You should read this study from Michigan State University that focused on the refugee mentality. Highly skilled refugees integrate well, and they are the ones you know because they integrated well. This creates this skewed view for you. How

Terrible idea. Just because the west can spend billions of dollars it makes no sense to bring in large populations of a foreign culture and then actively try to assimilate them into another one. It doesn't work and leads to alienation

I don't think you understood the point of the OP's article. This article is calling out the motivation and entrepreneurship gurus who push the idea of entrepreneurship like its some kind of way to unbind yourself and become truly

Passion without genuine skill and knowledge is useless. You can be passionate about many things, for example cars, but unless you put in the hours, your passion doesn't mean you will be a great car engineer, or automotive company execu

I agree with what you are saying but not to the degree that the ideology is purely influenced by the governmental structure. Islam existed far before either Iran or Saudi existed. Their formation was influenced by the type of ideas Islam en

Anything that Mohammed commanded has to be followed. For example all Muslim men must grow and beard and shave their mustache because that is what Allah through the prophet commanded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpSgEr2vn

Ideology is not post-hoc but tied in with the process that creates it. Look at stat ups. The culture of a start up is its ideology and gives direction to the company which reciprocates by cementing that culture as a definite if it causes th

I agree that there can be contradictions, but those contradictions don't stand in complete separation from the ideology like you say. Ideology can serve people in power, but for the average citizen it forms the way they think and condu

Exactly no ambiguity. The Quran and the Hadiths clearly state things as they should be and leave little to ambiguity, and that is why reform is extremely difficult within Islam. When the book clearly says that it is the one and true word of

Trying to justify one terribly gone wrong political ideology with another isn't a good way to justify an argument. And in the modern age, many Christian majority nations have successfully created secular states, something Islamic state

To give people some context, the difference between the two (Shia vs Sunni Muslims) is that the Shia believe Mohammed's son-in-law should have been his rightful successor (and he eventually did become the leader) while Sunni's bel
