Page 77 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 75

Children will be forced to work as long as people do not acquire the wisdom and
conscience the Qur'an brings.

All over the world we are familiar with the situation of underage
children forced to work, and the harsh conditions surrounding them in

the workplace. Despite this, however, rather than bringing these children
the social services and educational support so essential to their
development, these countries are concerned about the competitiveness of
their economies with the cheap products produced by the child
workforce. In their meetings, they even discuss how to increase their
competitiveness, and not how to save these children. 9
Many countries in the world allocate significant portions of their
budgets to defense. India and Pakistan, countries where areas such as
education, health and industry all call for urgent reform, are no
exceptions. For instance, Pakistan allocates 60% of its budget to
armaments and to defense spending. That the majority of the public is

blighted by poverty does not alter the situation in Pakistan. Nuclear
armament spending in the USA is 35 billion dollars a year. From 1946, the
year when programs linked to the atom bomb were initiated, until the
year 1996, approximately 5.5 trillion dollars were spent. 10
