Fatwa: Iraq Oil Belongs to "Allah" and His Sheiks
2007-09-09
Fatwa (Muslim Opinion) Concerning Petroleum and Gas Law

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate the Merciful,

Allah said :(Oh, ye that believe! betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you)

Therefore, all properties originally are the possession of Allah, all properties belongs to him, he said:( To Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and Allah hath power over all things) and said: (Give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you )

Islam has declared that a human being can possess properties in accordance with a certain manner known as reasons of possession, so it must clear that a possession right would not be fixed unless a religious confirmation and confession, as the religion is the source of the Law and the rights would not be confessed unless with the religion, and also the rights in the religion are not natural rights came by thought, but they are AllahÂ’s gift to the human being according to evidences related.

The has classified the properties into three kinds: individual properties, common properties and properties of the State. We are interested in this Fatwa with the common properties...

Fourth : It is forbidden to a leader of muslim country to make the properties available to non muslims or wrong people, as the nation of that muslim country has the rights in that property...
The Association of Muslims Scholars in Iraq (AMSI) actively supports Sunni terror groups. Unfortunately, for them, US and Iraqi forces captured their headquarters on Aug. 20, arrested all present and confiscated pro terror material. However, this fatwah is typical of dogma that binds Sunni clerics, and should cause us to question their value as allies.
Sixth : Every muslim has to know that voting or having the most common opinion would not be in such matters regarding the religion, Allah said It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path).
That is why true democracy and liberty are anathema to educated Muslims.
From this point and what has been mentioned above, this is considered void and null from the stand point of islam religion if the members of the Ministers Council have confirmed, and should be interrogated and settle outstanding accounts over it.

In addition, it is religiously forbidden to the members of the recent parliament to vote in favor of the law or confirm it in any case, the angriness of Allah will be upon who will agree and will be considered as the assistant of the enemy in taking the common properties wrongfully, more over considered as faithless to Allah and his Prophet Muhammed.
It means that authoritative Sunnis oppose the new Oil bill on Islamic grounds, and prescribe jihad against any legislator who affirms the law. The Sheiks aren't saying that the resource belongs to the people; they are claiming sheik control over it.

#10  That's fine. They can have their God-forsaken sand box, as long as we infidels/Christians/Joos/whatever get to take back our rightful properties on-site. Let's see 'em get that black gold outta the ground w/o American ingenuity, equipment, resources, captial, etc. Gotta be quite hard, and would result them in being what they were w/o American resources...just a bunch of Bedouin tribes killing off each other.

#8  I'll always believe the only mistake we made in the occupation of Iraq was not sending every Iraqi adult a check for actual oil revenue royalties.

#7  how mandating that the clerisy deserves all the fruits of property leads to poverty.

It's merely a repackaged "divine right of kings" and just as evil.

#6  I think I understand the poverty of Islamic societies, now. Hernando de Soto (the modern one) could write a couple books about how mandating that the clerisy deserves all the fruits of property leads to poverty.

#4  Yet one more reason why Iraq's current government needs to be dismantled and replaced with one that refuses to accept any role of shari'a law. All who insist upon inclusion of shair'a should be put to death. If that includes 90% of Iraq's population, I could not give a ripe sh*t.

#3  newc:

Shiism is even worse. Ayatollah Rafsanjani is worth a reported 1.4 billion US. Of the top 14 Ayatollahs, the poorest is worth over $100 million. And they use an Islamic group - Basij - as strike-breakers, to ensure that labor is without power. This is possible, because Islam's phony 'prophet' claimed 20% of all proceeds of Islamic governance. In Iran, the "khums" tax is benefited only by the clerics. A degree from Qom seminary is worth more in Iran than a Harvard MBA.

The most successful countries reject monopoly stagnation and encourage enterprise. If you want general poverty, convert to Islam.

#2  This is a perfect illustration IMHO of what islam has been by design from the very start, a vehicle for the ambitions of the Learned Elders/Fearless Leader more than an actual religion (except for the little people, but from the pov of the LE/FL, it is a quite totalitarian-like mean of societal control).
