And what would you suggest, how do we accelerate that change from within? Look, its very easy to sit outside and criticise, it's very difficult to actually do something.
Which part are you talking about, the one that says politicians use religion to justify their unfair and wrong wars or the one that says the US's claims of spreading democracy are BS, or both?
I agree, Muslims need to start being educated and need to start understanding Islam themselves and not blindly following what their Mullahs tell them - they need to start driving the 'well designed and crafted' car themselves.
lets get one thing clear… its not one of those new google cars that drives it self…. this car have to be driven by the driver.
the driver is either drunk… because the car isn't taking him anywhere… he takes the car where he wants.
Farid Zakaria became the Muslim of service...He replaced Adjami. For guy who swim in plagiarism, a mention of his name here, is an insult to PDF.
None of that is part has anything to do with Islam...Islam doesnt say go sit next to your pir or ask your neighbourhood mullah who doesnt even have a degree but asks one to seek knowledge for themselves even if they have to go as far as China (implying the distance and the need to explore as far as needed to gain this important stuff called knowledge)
You see the saying dont judge a book by its cover was created for this very purpose for narrow minded people...who just are quick to judge without knowing ....and guess what they are missing out the cool interesting story within the book
Zakaria was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, to a Muslim family His father, Rafiq Zakaria, was a politician associated with the Indian National Congress and anIslamic scholar. His mother, Fatima Zakaria, was for a time the editor of the Sunday Times of India.
One of the main points of Islam was knowledge, I agree with you. Unfortunately, it appears Muslims have strayed from these teachings of Islam. The Muslim world once produced the likes of Al Khwarzimi, Al Haytham and Ibn Sina, now we're just too busy ripping out each others' throats.
Not shooting but I already pointed out Islam is also diverse based on the culture of the person adhering to it...because majority prefer culture over religion....they just change the name of their religion but never drop their culture...it kinda speaks heaps and I never said lesser Muslim why are you jumping to conclusion?
I agree with you completely. In fact, the age of Muslim scientists and thinkers was actually more Islamic than today's muslim world.
Your opinion in this case is correct, they were not lesser followers of the faith. Actually many of today's Muslims are lesser followers because they disregard all the parts of Islam that preach peace and knowledge while focusing on only what they want to follow.
I really don't want to get into a debate about Pakistan's army dictators and internal politics as Its off topic but I agree with what you're trying to say. Mistakes were made, now we need to undo them. Inshaallah, we will.
Discussing what the Mullahs suggest is a waste of time, they suggest many, many things and most of them are absolutely wrong, from both an Islamic perspective and a common sense and morality perspective.
I agree - but it will take time. Mistakes made over a period of centuries can't be undone instantly, it will take time.
but you also forgot the other bit I highlighted:
Politics plus scholar....In India that literally means scholar ...btw, it says on his wiki he is a cleric ....and not a mention about his religious education to get that title....
