"BRICS" open the doors to 4 senior Arab countries

Let me make it clear for you. Islam does not allow dictators,kings and queens period full stop

My friend, dictatorship is not allowed, you're right about that. However, the concept of 'kingship' or 'malakiyya' absolutely is allowed in Islam. That's been determined through the ahhadiths as the khalifat(s) ended. Malakiyya is essentially the foundation of Al-Mamlakah al-ʿArabīyah as-Suʿūdīyah.

المملكة العربية السعودية

You think these people based the kingdom out of thin air and not through the teachings of Islam? Come on, maaan.

BTW, how much clout does the free, United Kingdom have in running the government and PM of Great Britain and the UK? The notion that the British royalty is simply "pageantry" and has no bearing or influence on the British or UK politics is one of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated on the ignorant.

I can stand in the middle of the stree and give French president a one finger Salut not a single security person will visit me than or later Can I enjoy that freedom in Any middle eastern country except Israel?

If that's the 'freedom' you feel is important for you to have, feel free to move to France then. Or Canada for that matter or even the US. Go to Israel if you think it's so free and see how they treat you over there.

But don't make it sound like that's the determining factor to making the country that is the center of Islam be as viable as Europe in many other ways.

That's the subjectivity previously mentioned. One man's version of freedom is another's version of vile, disgusting and provocatively trashy behavior that is detrimental and serves absolutely nothing of importance to a viable and vibrant but conservative society.

If you said "allow the journalists to express their views and criticize the government or the royal family without repercussions", then I would agree with that. But having the freedom to give the king the middle finger? If that's the bar for judging societal norms and freedoms, we're all doomed.

I am not talking about freedom and liberty in the form of dressing half naked or free sex. Freedom and liberty are far more than that.

As for democracy, I don't know of another system of governance that made any country like the European countries. Democracy has demonstrated to be the best form of government so far compared to others.

If the Arabs think that they will be like Europe without rule of law, freedom and liberty, democracy, god speed to them.

Democracy is great for Westerners

Islam is great for Muslims

Authoritarianism is great for many others

Democracy works for Germany but does it work and allow India/Nigeria/Brazil to be rich and safe countries?

Western countries arrived at democracy because of centuries of slavery/genocide/colonialism that made them rich and allowed them to decide to live of an easy system. For countries that were 'given' democracy like India, democracy is keeping them extremely poor due to democracy not punishing poor leadership/corruption and allowing politicians to do as they want and make empty promises without any substance.

This, as well as joining BRICS could possibly be a developing thorn infection in Egypt's side. Not agreeing to send military aid to Ukraine and joining what really amounts to the economic version of the Warsaw Pact, plus the recent Menendez scandal where he's accused of allegedly accepting bribery from Egyptian businessmen in exchange for "benefiting the Egyptian government" which frankly I find absurd could lead to much larger forms of retribution by the west and specifically the US. We all know very well this is how things are manipulated so that the end justifies the means.

Are you blind to the fact some 3 dozens of countries wanting to join BRICS? These include some of the most vibrant economies. Speaking of desperation, Biden, Blinken, and almost every top US officials are desperate to see Xi and visit China. Why?

Join BRICS for what. Does any of BRICS countries get any economic advantages ?

It is like a country club where the powerful mingle. Of course everyone wants to be seen as powerful.

Lol, they are going to set up a BRICS + currency in the next few years for the block to trade, get rid of dollar. They are going to coordinate their economic policies and agendas esp dealing with the developed world including such as G7.

They are going to.

 

[A Voice of Reason]

Would love to see all the Arab countries get in.

The way to destroy an organization from being effective is to just bring in more and more members.

 

[nahtanbob]

They are going to.

When ? In 50 years

 

[etylo]

When ? In 50 years

a few years.

 

[nahtanbob]

a few years.

More like never

 

[etylo]

More like never

That's your delusion and wish.

 

[nahtanbob]

That's your delusion and wish.

There are two choices - you can use the Chinese currency or create a new joint currency. I have not seen any inkling which way China wants to go. It is not like you can wake up one morning and go a particular route

So what are you saying exactly? I shouldn't wish that all Arab countries be invited into BRICS? Not sure I get what you mean.
