Of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels

A friend sent me an article recently published in harakahdaily. The article was on how the media, the TV in particular, is eroding Islamic values in Malaysia. While the content of the article was the usual, I am intrigued by references to Marx and Engels. I never expected to see this - utilization of Marx & Engel's Manifesto of the Communist Party in an Islamist's writing in Harakah. How refreshing. Marx was today confirmed as BBC Radio 4's Our Time's Greatest Philosopher. Will we soon find in Harakah arguments in support of Adam Smith? This would be even more refreshing.

Ibn Khaldun, not Adam Smith!
