Anfal and Islamic Economics

In this chapter, those elements of Islamic economics that enhance a confiscatory regime and are compatible with destructive coordination are explored. The choice of Islam in this study is closely related to the emergence of a critical social order in all regions affected by the rise of political Islam since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It will be shown that Anfal in the Shi’i Islam justifies a confiscatory regime by dispossessing people from all ‘ownerless’ public properties (res nullius) and transferring them to the restrictive property of the Imam.
