Hello There comrade, its nice to see an islamic socialist guy ! xD
As you see im catolic, here in Brazil, and in all latin america in general, we have a strong libertarian arm of the cristians chuches, called "the teology of libertation", which is a gruop inside of the churches who tries to reflect the revolucionary propose of the Holy bible and the chirstian history
There is a strong bad felling among the communisties about religion in general, and that is very comprensive, because the high clerical always stays in the side of the powerfulls , but if you guys reads the Rosa Luxemburg anallizes of the chuches history
http://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1905/misc/socialism-churches.htm "socialism and churches" , its becomes easy to understand that the christian movement was actually a revolucionary movement of slaves who were fighting against the roman empire, and tried to implant a equalitary system which failed, because the final product of the work was socialized and not the means of production.
I didnt study sufficiently to talk about the islamic history, there is a lack of this kind of materical cause the socialist movement made stared in the occidental world, so there is fell analisyes about that religion, but im sure that it has revolucionary thoughs in its history, Mohamed (Maome) uniting the people against their cruel arabic tribes and nation and calling them all to a construction of a huge free coutry, seems to be very revolucionary to me, so its very possible for you to develop a libertarian wing in a islamic society.
Now, just be ware of nationalism, patriotism and all of this bullshits , yeah its really a bullshit, the world is divided only in two classes "The ones who have the means of production (bourgeoise)" and "the ones who sell their work force"(Proletarian), nationalism is a toll used to the the bourguesie to inspire the proletarians to fought for the NATION SECURITY (their power over others country) in a war for example.
The World War I, was a war for the worlds domination market and colonies distribution, a fight made by the bourgueosie of France, United States, Germany, Italy, Russia..., the workers of those coutries never had problems with each others , they didnt have reason to fight, but the bourgeosie will never take a rifle and start a war among themselfs, they dont need to die, they have mental slaves for that job, so in a attempt to inspire the works to go to war, it was created a massive national-patriotic propaganda, in this era was created the Uncle Sam, and phrases like "I WANT YOU!!! DEFEND YOUR HOMELAND"
Remember my friends WORKERS HAVE NO NATION (communist manifesto), our only coutry is the INTERNATIONAL COMUNIST, which is the all world together as a single nation, that is the only contry that you can have national-patriotism fellings, all the others nation are bourgueoasie divisions of the Earth
Be Welcome! Best Regards,
Lucas Becker
