silence7What Can ‘Green Islam’ Achieve in the World’s Largest Muslim Country? Clerics in Indonesia are issuing fatwas, retrofitting mosques and imploring congregants to help fight climate change
So I’m a Green Party member in the UK and there are quite a lot of Green Muslims, and now more due to Labour’s islamophobia and backing of genocide. The Muslim Greens group on social media share a lot of things about environmental Muslim practices and environmentally focused parts of the Qur’an. I’m atheist but find it incredibly interesting.
It’s pretty common for religions to say something about taking care of the environment — it’s generally a prerequisite for human survival.
Christianity doesn't seem too bothered, with many Christians being strong climate change deniers, even though you'd think they'd take more care of what's basically God's Creation and the idealistic image of Eden as a garden.
There are multiple pieces of Christian scripture which call out the duty of the faithful to be good shepherds of God's creation.
They often aren't emphasized in most modern sects, but they are certainly part of the theology.
MrMakabarIf god gave 7s coal and animals, it is our duty to BBQ.
Or they see climate change as a sign of the end times and don’t give a shit. They’re going to heaven, after all.
It’s pretty funny since green is the colour of Islam.
But that’s great news, I wish more people would do the same thing
The main issue is that a bunch of the petrostates use religious patronage to prop up their ruling families.
hono4kamiIt’s rare to see such positive news. I myself an Indonesian and didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing
