Makassar, South Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - Muslimah (female Muslims) grouped in Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) rejected capitalism which was identical to colonialism, according of a spokeswoman of HTI Muslimah.

"Capitalism facilitate the greed of capitalists to build wealth for economic growth. The greatness of a capitalist country is achieved at the expense of other countries whose natural resources have been exploited by the capitalist countries," said Febrianti Abassuni here on Tuesday.

The HTI Muslimah of Eastern Indonesia was holding a conference themed "Save Eastern Indonesia`s Natural Resources, Prevent Disintegration, Build a Great Nation with Khilafah "Caliphate" (Islamic state)" here on Tuesday.

The conference was part of a series of HTI Muslimah`s conferences being organized in Yogyakarta, Medan (North Sumatra), Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan), Surabaya (East Java), Ujung Pandang (South Sulawesi) and Bogor (West Java).

Indonesia was a rich country but its people were suffering because the nation has become a `diary cow` of the Super Power country and its allies, she said.

The rich natural resources available in eastern Indonesia had been exploited by foreign parties, she said. (*)
