As the Jewish Community celebrates Passover this month, which happens to coincide with Ramadan, we are reminded of the slavery of the Israelites in the land of Egypt and their deliverance from slavery by Prophet Moses (PBUH). However, a new type of bondage has emerged around all of us and that is debt bondage to the banking system, which divides people and pits people against each other to profit from war. One can easily google the term ‘war-profiteering’ to find out more about this concept on Wikipedia and other sites.
The messages of God were never meant to divide the People of the Book, Muslims, Jewish, and Christians. In fact, the stories of the Torah, Bible, and Qu’ran correlate with each other in terms of the chronology of characters and events and correspond with each other in terms of God’s message. This is in fact why I stipulate that they are in fact three chapters of one Book.
Holy Book Banking offers the People of the Book the opportunity to come together to work on the banking and financial crises including debt bondage to formulate solutions for a more peaceful future and a fair and just economy. The focus should be on unity and not division.
