John Calvin, max weber's protestant work ethic and Al Shabab

[Typhoon]

academically it has been proven that , that type of work ethic is not exclusively protestant anybody can get that, a south korean works 1000 hours more then a german each year.
the point is; religion is harmonious and major catalysis in the productivity of citizen in the overall economy of a state

Al shabab is barbaric nevertheless, they have sowed a seed that will outlive them and that is: throwing religion into the debate and introducing in terms of governance the concept of the rule of law (shariah) into the civil war political discourse.

The Somalis in south Somalia are totally different people in terms of character, believe me, I have been studying them for a while and al shabab had a profound positive effect on them in terms of reviving the sense of commune and respect for authority

I believe the next Somali major power will emerge in the Deep South Somalia( I am bias but I believe its jubaland)


francis fukiyama in his book the origin of political order mentions that the rule of law comes from religion.
hernanado the sotto explained in his book the mystery of capital; that you can`t have major economic development without the rule of law

Religion and the Rule of Law
If one is seeking a source of social rules that is invariant and reflects
the shared moral values of a community, the obvious place to look is
religion—not as it is practiced in modern pluralistic societies, but in the
position that it occupied in premodern societies such as ancient Israel,
medieval Europe, or the early Islamic world.

Religious rules are held by
believers to be the product not of human agency but of divine authority,
and are therefore binding on all human agents, including the political
sovereign. Indeed, most rulers in such societies never claimed to be sovereign; God was sovereign, and the ruler merely acted as God’s deputy
or vicar on earth.

It is therefore not surprising that the rule of law first originated in
societies dominated by a transcendental religion, and that the first laws
that rulers had to respect were religious ones. The Hebrew Bible and
Talmud, the Roman Twelve Tables, the early Church decretals and canons, the Sunna and hadith, the Vedas and shastras were all recognized
in their respective societies as shared rules of justice, and in each society—Israelite, Roman, Christian, Muslim, and Hindu—rulers explicitly
recognized a duty to live under the religiously defined law.

When you look at 19th century America or 18th and 16th century Europe, all of a sudden it’ll become clearer that … the thing that broke the back of poverty and privilege in developed countries in the past was when property rights came around and destroyed feudal title.

A property right initiates the rule of law … makes people interested in the rule of law. The first thing that they understand … is that everybody on this earth lives on a plot of land.
