| Very interesting Un
It would take years to research all the references of the website. Just the tiny bit that I read of the author below,( Qur'an references) Seems the problems of mankind (as all of us know) is not in the God or Gods they worship. From what I can determine from religions is they all have common threads. The ancient wisdom's survive today because their core concepts remain applicable, regardless of the time. Things that don't work go extinct.
Governing the people from Moses til today has been a catch 22( Moses is referenced in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Didn't the ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics make reference to Moses?)
Anyway I found this interesting
8 &Qur'an 6:90; 11:31.
Would it spell perdition for our subjects if the provincial
and district governors were relieved of their
present absolute authority, whereby they function exactly
as they please, and were instead limited to equity
and truth, and if their sentences involving capital punishment,
imprisonment and the like were contingent
on confirmation by the &Shah and by higher courts in
the capital, who would first duly investigate the case
and determine the nature and seriousness of the crime,
and then hand down a just decision subject to the issuance
of a decree by the sovereign? If bribery and
corruption, known today by the pleasant names of gifts
and favors, were forever excluded, would this threaten
the foundations of justice? Would it be an evidence of
unsound thinking to deliver the soldiery, who are a
living sacrifice to the state and the people and brave
death at every turn, from their present extreme misery
and indigence, and to make adequate arrangements for
their sustenance, clothing and housing, and exert every
effort to instruct their officers in military science, and
supply them with the most advanced types of firearms
and other weapons?
+P15
would it constitute a deviation from what is right and
proper, if we were to strengthen our relationships with
neighboring countries, enter into binding treaties with
the great powers, foster friendly connections with well-disposed
governments, look to the expansion of trade
with the nations of East and West, develop our natural
resources and increase the wealth of our people?
