The Islamic government officials, or the modern class of representatives, because of their lack of the provision of economic solutions, find themselves on the opposite side of democratic economy and therefore resort to manipulating the mass of producers through ideological means and through the falsification of threats from the non-Islamic world in an attempt to generate nationalistic fervor to cover up the social, economic problems with which they are confronted. In order to create a historical justification for their governmental security organs, the Islamic leaders resort to presentations of major threats arising from the world of capitalism and imperialism. In our world, specifically in the developing world, the vast majority of the public considers the threat of Islam to be no less than that of the threat posed from imperialism. In truth, the dangers of Islam are no less than the dangers from imperialism. Islamic leaders who are truly defending the economic bureaucracy of the new leadership and follow conservative methods in production show inhumane approaches when confronted with the complaints of scientists and those of research institutes. But it should not be forgotten that the continuation of social life without scientists and specialists cannot be beneficial. Therefore, the Islamites cannot bring about their physical elimination. Thus, in this situation, the scientists more than others come under pressure through the Islamites. It should not be forgotten that the era of resorting to ideological means is over. The curtains have gradually fallen, and the integrity of the Islamic leaders in the eyes of the public is losing momentum. The esteemed reader may say: Supposing all these arguments presented here are true and acceptable, how would you verify the shortcomings of economic production within the most advanced Islamic countries? In response to this question, I would say that, above all, the important factor is that levels of production should not be achieved at any expense. Of course, the price of raw materials could be reduced. Workers’ wages could be paid much lower than standards set internationally and even the investments made many times more than those in Western institutes, so that products with identical qualities are obtained. Is this method of production profitable or logical? In production, the question is never the quantity but the profit gained from the level of investment, and the quality of the product is the most important issue. Now we ask: Has the Islamic party adapted to follow a bureaucratic method in production and in the economy? So far has it been able to produce high-quality products with the lowest level of investments while increasing the level of pay for workers to international standards? If so, then where is the evidence? The following reports made by the Islamic leaders of Iran read as follows: “It could not be said that the basic structure is satisfactory. The truth of the matter is that we have applied huge investments but that relatively low dividends are produced, i.e., less than what was expected.” We know that economies in Islamic states are managed through bureaucratic schemes. To start off with, these methods might have had some successes. But after a while, the usage of bureaucratic and oligarchic methods in economic management of the country produced major diversities that ultimately blocked the path of economic development in the same Islamic society. It could be wrong to associate the ultra-Islamites alone with the economic bureaucracy of Islamic states. The first Islamic country encountered many difficulties following the collapse of Islam. Almost the entire country’s industry vanished. The process of the revitalization of lost industries and the transfer of industrial centers to Eastern lands and the construction of an extensive railway system necessitated centralization in the field of production. Orders issued from center were transmitted speedily, materials and necessary finances were allocated to large organizations. Today, the pressure from such a centralized system in production is deemed essential. Many have accepted this reality. In my view, the denial of the necessity of centralized production in the present day would be unfair. Of course, this is not to mean that the initial stages of industrialization within the above country were free from great faults; in fact many mistakes in the utilization of raw materials and construction work took place that caused developments in the economy that claimed many victims. This was indeed a heavy price to pay. But today, is the management of economic affairs within Islamic states governed by democratic means? Is accountancy within Islamic states today not at its lowest Levels? Within Islamic states, the evaluation of laws and monitoring of production affairs does not exist. In organizations, the economization of products has no meaning. In Islamic states, attentions are focused on the quantitative aspect of products. The value of industrial goods gradually decreases against international standards, and production continues only with huge government subsidies and losses. To generate balance between profit and cost, the price of consumer products therefore rises rapidly. At times, VAT surpasses many times the finished cost of the product. Even today, officials in Islamic countries pay excessive attention to the quantitative aspect of products. If we attend to the methodology of economic management within Islamic states, we can easily deduce that more than anything within the Islamic economy is the presence of ministries, offices, and various other organizations in resolution to bureaucratic economic management in the field of production.
