Description: World peace is a much cherished goal for humanity. Such a goal can only be achieved when all human beings accept, explicitly or tacitly, the concept of monotheism and the abrogation of usury.
Monotheism has been the concept propagated by all the Messengers of 'Allah ever since Nuh (Noah). As early as the time of Ibrahim (Abraham), monotheism caused him to suffer burning in the fire, although this did not take place, through Divine mercy. Profit making has always been sanctioned by Divine Messages, through legal transactions of buying and selling.
The triple family of Ibrahim (Abraham), including Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus), and Muhammad have been unequivocally steadfast about fulfilling the obligations of these two basic concepts of this creed, which Ibrahim (Abraham) has called Islam. The last phase of this doctrine is the one propagated by Muhammad and his companions all their life-time fourteen centuries ago. These two basic concepts include many other Laws, established from the time of Nuh (Noah), who prohibited idolatry, adultery, murder and robbery.
The long of history of humanity has shown us that periods of world peace have been really rare, due to the non-commitment to these Divine Laws. The conflicts between Turkish Muslims and Europe continued for about 400 years; and the Western and Eastern Crusades are still going on.
The followers of the third religion (Judaism) are supported all through their aggressions by the United States. As for Russian (Slavic) massacres in the Chechen, there can be no justification; it is only confrontation.
