The problem that I wanted to point at is that some form of egalitarian ideals is not at al uncommon among religions. Especially not the "world religions". The natural question is therefor why point at just one tradition, and especially so clearly point at Islam which is the yungest of the Abrahamic tradition.
Ok this one first, Look at the Islamic state setup by the Prophet, to my understanding it was the first to perfectly setup a socialist kind of way that was sustained and was accepted by all. But I did say that the Origins of socialism used now can be more clearly taken from the Jewish belief rather then the Islamic one as it is closer to the Ideals of the Jewish state then the Islamic one, where Islam gives 50% to materialism and 50% to spiritualism, basically has a more Religious side to it.
