5.1 为什么会这样一团糟
5.1 Why such a mess
我们无论身在英国还是穆斯林世界,都能看到、听到、感受到库夫尔(kufr)所造成的混乱,而在穆斯林世界,库夫尔的法律同样得到实施。要理解是什么导致了这种局面,就必须清楚地认识产生它的思维方式,即资本主义意识形态,因为正是这种生活方式被西方国家所推广,并目前主导着世界。即使只是简单看一眼它的基本原则,也能揭示出资本主义是解决人类所面临问题的一种虚假且具有破坏性的手段。
We see, hear and feel the mess of kufr wherever we are, be it in Britain or in the Muslim world, where kufr laws are also implemented. To understand what has brought such a state of affairs about, it is necessary to have a clear comprehension of the way of thinking that produces it - i.e. the Capitalistic ideology, for it is this way of life that is propagated by Western nations and currently dominates the world. Even a brief look at its basic principles, exposes Capitalism to be a false and destructive means of resolving the problems faced by human beings.
资本主义信条的实质在于将宗教与生活事务分离,即政教分离(世俗主义)。因此,它既不断然否定也不断然肯定造物主以及宇宙、生命和人类的创造者与管理者的存在,而是主张这一问题与生活事务的运行无关。于是,规范社会的规则与法律的制定便交由人类自己负责,人类必须努力保障"四大自由":信仰自由、所有权自由、言论自由和个人自由(即按自己的意愿行事)。然而,这些自由必须加以限制,使一个人的自由不侵犯他人的自由。因此,资本主义意识形态采用了一种机制来决定对这些自由的限制,即以法律来规范人们的行为,而这一机制就是民主。民主在当今世界被视为一个社会实现公正和"文明"的绝对前提,它是一种选择法律的方式,其中受法律约束的人民本身就是负责立法的人。
The essence of the Capitalist creed lies in the separation of religion from lifes affairs, i.e. secularism. Thus, while it does not decisively reject nor affirm the notion of the existence of a Creator and Organiser of the universe, life and human beings, it proposes that this issue is irrelevant to the running of lifes affairs. Thus, the organisation of the rules and laws to govern society are left to human beings, who must endeavour to guarantee the ‘Four Freedoms,’ those being Freedom of Belief, Freedom of Ownership, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Individual (to act as they please). However, these freedoms must be limited such that the freedom of one individual does not impinge upon that of another. Thus, the Capitalist ideology adopts a mechanism for deciding limitations to these freedoms in the form of laws to regulate the actions of people, that being democracy. Democracy, held in the current world as an absolute pre-requisite for a society to be just and ‘civilised,’ is a means of choosing laws where the people who are to be subject to them are the ones responsible for legislating them.
