Paper money “utterly haram”
September 18, 2011Islamic “philosopher” Imran N. Hosein isn’t done talking about the evil of Western paper money. During a live audio linkup from Trinidad to South Africa during Ramadan last year, Hosein lectured a Capetown mosque on the wickedness of “bogus and fraudulent and utterly haram paper currencies.”
Hosein argues that Western nations are “playing God” by creating money. In order to protect the ummah (Muslim community) from this “storm” of infidel currency and shirk (Arabic for idolatry), Allah has metaphorically put the ummah to sleep in a cave. Hosein concludes that, one day, the ummah will awake to a world that uses only gold dinars and silver dirhams.
Here’s a four-minute excerpt about the money. Take a listen:
The full, bloated 72-minute lecture (covering everything from Muslim dress codes, last year’s floods in Pakistan, and the sinking of some island in Dubai) is here for those with enough patience to listen to this bizarre yet colorful Islamist nutjob.
He may be a nutjob, but if you examine his past, he was prominent in the New York area Islamic community, did a lot of “interfaith” outreach and delivered a weekly sermon for 10 years at the UN.

Hmm, it grieves me to hear that since he is so anti-Semitic. But that’s what you get with the U.N. I suppose..
CONGRESS MAN DR. RON PAUL SAID IN HIS BOOK (GOLD, PEACE AND
PROSPERITY- THE BIRTH OF A NEW CURRENCY) I QUOTE,
” TO FINANCE OUR REVOLUTIONARY WAR, THE CONTINENTAL
CONGRESS ISSUED PAPER MONEY IN GREAT QUANTITIES. OVER A
PERIOD OF ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF YEARS, THE CONTINENTAL
CURRENCY FELL FROM A VALUE OF ONE PAPER DOLLAR PER ONE
GOLD DOLLAR TO ABOUT 1000 TO ONE…THE PHRASE –NOT WORTH A
CONTINENTAL — RECORDS THE FATE OF THIS PAPER MONEY.”
PAPER MONEY GAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRONGER INDUSTRIAL
COUNTRIES TO BUY THEIR RAW MATERIALS FROM WEAKER DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES WITH PAPER MONEY THAT MAY BE DEVALUATED AT ANY
TIME AT THE WILL OF THE STRONGER COUNTRIES AND THE WEAKER
ONES LOOSE THE VALUE OF THEIR WEALTH. THE SAME GAME WAS
PLAYED WITHIN EACH COUNTRY WHERE THE RICH GETS RICHER BY
KEEPING THEIR WEALTH IN REAL ESTATES & INVESTIMENTS THAT CAN
BENEFIT FROM INFLATION & THE POOR GETS POORER BY LOOSING THE
PURCHASING POWER OF THEIR WAGES & SALARIES THAT NEVER CATCH
UP WITH INFLATION.
It is very difficult to convince conspiracy theorists that there is no conspiracy.
But you go ahead and try basing a competitive national economy in the world today on gold & silver coins and see how convenient you find it.
