172 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

The Detriments of the Anti-Religionist Systems for People
1. All reasoning based on moral values and conscience are eliminated,
and societies are oppressed under totalitarian regimes. Under these regimes,
people are not entitled to enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms.
Moral values are entirely refused, and groups with vested interests
dominate society. The disbelieving system disallows any activity not
serving the interests of the prevalent disbelieving system.
2. People are indoctrinated into believing that the dictator is infallible

country:"
6. Hunger and starvation claim millions of lives, including women,
children and the elderly. The system created poor and disadvantaged
people, imposing hard lives on everyone. In this life, buying a loaf of bread,
for instance, meant waiting in queues for hours.
7. People were interned in labor camps and executed en masse. Those
remaining were used for forced labor under very harsh conditions. Those
unable to adapt to working conditions were exiled to Siberia.
8. Rebellions were put down bloodily by communist militants.
Insurgents were shot dead before the eyes of the public.
9. Those opposing the system or offering criticism, be they politicians or
intellectuals, were executed.
10. Those holding power reveled in extravagance, while ordinary people
led their lives in misery. For instance, when the Communist Party held
power, the difference between the salary of a worker and a member of the
