Just because people are quick to associate anything to do with Muslims to terrorism doesn't mean it is right. Why not use DPOS to help unite the sects of Islam?
If you can unite smaller disjointed groups with these technologies, i.e. Christian sects that don't play nice either, it will only be easier to then work towards the logical conclusion of peace for all, including between the religious and non-religious.
Why dismiss potential to change the world so quick without an attempt? Take a note out of Satoshi's book and think outside the confines of today.
Believe me I'm open minded to all of that, but the facts are the Muslim faith has been dragged through the mud! I sympathize with all the real Muslims out there that these extremists are turning people against the Muslim faith, even though 99.9% of Muslims are peaceful and very decent people. But unfortunately as far as society goes anything religious is not a niche that people will adopt! Do market research and see for yourself! As far as coins go the words 'Islamic' and 'decentralised' going together will open you up to all kinds of shit, so I personally would not buy!
I agree with you, it would be probably be met with resistance from all manner of organizations. I think of a Zakat DAC as a freedom tool. Sharedrop it around Muslim populations globally. Muslims who are disillusioned could choose to pay their tax via the system instead of to central authorities as a way to say they are fed up with the way things are being managed. It could be used as a consensus tool across a broad demographic of Muslim populations that choose to opt in and a show of unity across splintered factions and feuding groups.
Anyways OP GL with your project and if you choose to make a DAC please join us over at the BTS forum.
