Islam in a Multipolar World Lecture By Mr. George Yong-Boon Yeo Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Singapore #جامعة_الفيصل #alfaisal
When I heard George and his views on kindred spirit, brotherhood between all peoples and his replying on “healing”, I teared, his message struck my heart, and I said to myself, never again will I read the lies, vomit and garbage of Western Main Stream Media.
The development of Africa had been thought of by China long ago. China had cultivated African friendship for decades at a time when most of Africa were colonies and even after independence, political and cultural ties were maintained and heightened. African countries viewed China as a former colony overlorded by terrible imperialists which extracted what they can from China. Hence through a common history, China has been able to penetrate the mindset of Africans and this is what the West is coming up against. Its past imperialist actions are the main obstacle to its intention and ability to develop Africa - in fact Africans(and the world) still regard the West as imperialists and not as co-developers of their region. So when one talks of development of Africa, one is actually talking of how, when and to what scale China is developing Africa. What does America do? It forms Africom. This is almost a knee jerk reaction but that is what US has been doing for decades. So China's development of Africa will benefit Europe in the long run. For this. Europe must assist China to do so and not join the US is a useless campaign of sanctions against country and people. Today we see how Europe is suffering from the effects of following the american directions to sanction Russia. Big economic giants like Germany are being deindustrialised. An emasculated Europe cannot assist China, let alone assist Africa. This is a long term scenario of great economic importance to Africa, Europe and the world.
The Islamic world should read one book: Tao De Jing (Laozi) The evolution and modernisation of the Islamic world will be unstoppable if the Muslims can digest this book.
Islam had links with many regions around the world. The western region developed more rapidly after the renaissence, where religion and the state was separated. Islamic clergy rejected scientific development and incorporated religion into governance. While the western world governance was able to change, Islamic countries could not do so without sidelining religion.
With all due respect, AV and technician were distracting. And there were some intermittent “drilling” noise in the background. Also, surprising movement of attendees. Is this normal there?
