To minimize the prejudice among the followers of Abrahamic religions and to minimize the clash of sectarianism in the era of capitalist global world, we always have to socialize a scriptural dialogue more than a theological dialogue or prophetical dialogue to discover a common platform, especially talking about one God and the essence of Islam in the Semitic tradition. Pope John Paul II respects to Islam which inherited Abrahamic tradition, based on monotheism, and was particularly close to Christianity as a spiritual brother.

‘The Church also has a high regard for the Moslems, who worship one God, living and subsistent, merciful, and omnipotent, the creator of heaven and earth ………. As a result of their monotheism, believers in Allah are particularly close to us.’


Meanwhile, Seyeed Hossein Nasr discovered the essence of Islam in the Abrahamic tradition through the other perspective, namely Brahmanic tradition. The essence of Islam as the primordial religion (al- dīn al-hanīf), according to him, is like the sanatana dharma of Hinduism.

‘Islam also considers itself to be the reassertion of the original religion, of the doctrine of unity, which always was and always will be. That is why it is called the primordial religion (al- dīn al-hanīf); it comes at the end of this human cycle to reassert the essential truth of the primordial religion. It is thus like the sanatana dharma of Hinduism ………….’

In the holy book of Hinduism, the Mahābhārata, one of Brahmanic religious tradition, the Shiites could also discover the primordial shadow of Ahl al-Bayt. In the holy Quran and the Hadiths, the Ahl al-Bayt is referring to five holy figures; Muhammad, Fāthimah, ‘Ali, Hasan, and Husein. Meanwhile, in the Mahābhārata, five holy figures referred to the Pandavās, namely Yudhistirā, Arjūn, Bhimā, Nakulā, Sahadevā. The relation between the Ahl al-Bayt and the Pandavās is representing the continuum of both levels; (i) from Brahmanic discourse to the Abrahamic discourse, (ii) from the Aryan tradition to the Semitic tradition. Obviously, five holy figures of Hinduism and Islam voiced the same to reject injustice in the Bhārat and Arab civilizations. Even, both civilizations also prophesized the era of messianic movement through the Mahdī or Avatār. These different terms represent the way of reformation in the domain of heavenly social critical movement. As the prophecies in form of revelation of all religions universally such as Meshīah, Mahdī or Avatār, these secretive messianic terms deal with a revolution to appear the just globalization and to fight the capitalist globalization itself; and Islam as the final religion of Aryan and other Semitic religions, regards that all religions in pre-Islamic times walked at the street of the prophets, because they announced the concept of Mahdism itself and the coming of the era of Mahdism which will fill the earth with the justice. Amazingly, our Mahdi as the twelfth Imam biologically, in the Shiite references, inherited the blood of Japhethic/Aryan race. He is of Parsee blood, from the Princess of Sahr Banu, the wife of Imam Husein; he is of the Greek blood, from the Princess of Nargis, the wife of Imam Hasan al-Askari. He also inherited the blood of Hamitic race; he is of Egyptian blood, from the Princess of Pharaoh, Hagar, the wife of Abraham. Even, he inherited the blood of Semitic race. He is of Ishmaelite blood, the son of Abraham, and a descendant of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. Therefore, in the next future, the Mahdi of Islam, as an expected one by all religions is a common global messianic perspective to built up the justice global order.

Representation of Ideology
Ideology belongs also to one cultural aspect, because it is a product of the human creativity. It is a system of thought that becomes a principle providing the direction and the aim for the life of a society or a nation. Based on Biblical perspective and social activities, the West stands on apartheid and colonial ideologies. Philologically, these ideologies can be traced its sources back from the Torah and Bible; and these ideas are theologically used to marginalize other races; so that why they think that the white race was the clever, chosen by God, whereas the black race was the lazy race, cursed by God.
The social violence either direct or indirect violence can be triggered out by an ideology. During the time of apartheid in the South-Africa, an ideology that had been developed at that time had claimed that the white race was superior, even, civilized race, whereas the black race was inferior, even uncivilized race. The episteme of Western ideology in the era of capitalist globalization to the Eastern civilization, especially Islam and Moslems, was exposed clearly by Edward Said, in his book Orientalism (1978). In this book, the image of Orient and Islamic world have politically been constructed and reconstructed negatively by the West-Christianity through three colonial strategies; (i) the mission movement, the Westernized volkscholen, and political images to enrich the capital of the West. I think, in the era of post-colonialism, these colonial strategies become the seeds of violence among the Eastern men to understand the West and the Orientalism.
Based on the apartheid ideology and colonial orientation, the West have been doing the acts of persecuting, beating, forcing and sending the East into many forms of ‘slaveries’ such as an economic slavery which was politically justified and legitimated by a such ideology. So, an ideology can become an instrument of justifying the act of violence or of legitimating the act of violence. During the era of capitalist global world, there was very dangerous ideology; and the facts have proved that this ideology have produced many acts of violence. It is the national ideology; namely militarism. The militarism contains a national ideology which followers glorify their clan, tribes, and nation. This own military group is paid to do violence for reaching the political purpose. Both examples can be taken out from the social riots in Iraq and Palestine. Based on democratic-capitalistic America, they conquered Iraq in the name of democracy. Meanwhile, based on the Zionism, Israel imperialized Palestine to fight against terrorists.
To minimize the ignorance of Western episteme about the East, the Eastern intellectuals have to develop and enrich the Occidental Studies, such as the research of Hassan Hanafi about the roots of Western knowledge in Occidentalism (2001). Even, they have to create the dialogue of civilizations to marginalize the prejudice as an effect of clash of civilizations between the Western and Eastern civilizations, especially between the Hellenic Christianity and Islam, in the era of capitalist global world. The clash of civilizations is a cultural tragedy to represent an identity politic as a superior cultural identity marker. In this context, both have a common purposes to fight the matrix which represents the Western politico-cultural hegemony, because the matrix an sich is a cultural process through the universalization of particularism, or to universalize the capitalist cultural symbols through the process of globalization without the space to the other. One of the forms of capitalist industry is, of course, Mc Donald, etc.
Nowadays, the matrix as a reference refers to the domination of Western secularization. In the mind-set of the West, both cultural politic and religion have exclusive characters; and they must be separated from each domain. I think, this matrix in the world of hegemonic globalization will not stop and end in era of capitalism because the spirit of matrix formula itself is to minimize the role of religion (theology) in the context of private space, and to maximize the cultural capitalism in the context of all aspects of the life to other cultures, step by step, through both exploited and westernized global cultural strategies; and these strategies politically can be applied by the Western capitalist states in the form of hegemonic global government. If the modern men still adopt this system of thought to understand the just reality for universal humanity, they will get the utopist reality. In this matrix system, the capitalist states reject the myth of the hope of eschatological global government of Islam through the Mahdi, but in the same case, the secular Christians in the West can not reject the era of messianic movement of Jesus. It is not the myth of the hope, but a theology of the hope as the Gospel said about the age of reappearance of the Israelite Messiah literally. The atheists of the West recommended the capitalist global government era without the wall in the future of the world. To realize this secular reality, they use the forces of politic and culture in the internationals relations. I think, it indirectly also support a theory of secular messianic era. Obviously, the capitalist global community still expect the appearance of ‘the unthinkable global hero’ to win the capitalist cultural era in the battle among cultures.

The matrix, in the light of all religions, always rejects the government of the expected one, the Just Ruler to make a reformation in all aspects, and to end the capitalist exploitation through the power of state. The coming of him as an expected one in the next era, according to the Aryan and Semitic Scriptures, such as Kalkī Avatār of Hinduism in the Bhārat tradition , Jesus the Messiah of Jewish and Christianity in the Hebraic tradition or the Mahdi, the twelfth Imam of Islam in the Arabic tradition, is a global theological politic to fight against the power of hegemonic governments and to end the pseudo-justice from the hands of capitalists. About the messianic global era, Saeed Reza Ameli, in his article ‘Chosen Globalization and Hegemonic globalizations’ affirms that the divine globalization of justice which so-called the chosen globalization will destroy the hegemonic globalization of injustice as the dehumanized forms of globalization through one government of both holy men, they are Abrahamic Messiahs, namely the Mahdi, as the Ishmaelite Messiah, and Jesus as the Israelite Messiah.
