but folks, most discerning debhelopmenteers habhe problems with microcredit practices.

but consider this. Most blog sitters contribute little or nothing to debhelopmental uplift, and the ‘islamic’ sectors are copying and ethically adapting grameens model.

traditionally organisations of the reactionary islamist flabhour stand firmly against grameen. But you must look at the positibhe aspects of it and the conidence boosting ability of the nobel award.

yes there is some political element to the peace prize, isnt their always. what do we eexpect.

but folks, dont be mean spirited to the extent of confusing the western debhelopment industry’s idiocy with the hard work and creatibhity of prof yunus.

That said this is fascinating! (not the grameen brain-washing and unislamic practises!!!) How a people number in the billions can not muster the strength to get together and help out the poor muslims around the world. Wouldn’t it be a grand idea if a few well off muslims organised an institute to help people in poorer regions for instance to help establish a livly-hood for themselves. To help establish schools and social affairs of the people. I know there are quite a lot out of groups doing this sort of work (al-muntada for example). But surely the rest of us can get off our butts and do something? (that includes me btw). I come across so many well educated, very well financed young muslims on a daily basis. Surely with these resources and given the strengths of the muslims in the uk, it would be an easy task in taking up the cause. Khair may Allah help us all.

Grameen, in that vein, also requires women to sign a pledge waiving their right to any mahr. Not just to protect them from the adopted practice of women’s families going into debt in order to follow old Hindu customs, but also requires them to waive their Islamic right to a mahr from the husband.
