Conservatism just means to want things to not change.
By that meaning, Islam is conservative and will always be conservative. Islam cannot be changed. Any innovation in religion leads to deviation. Islam was already perfected to us.
It has nothing to do with chopping people's hand off or not.
That’s the shariah punishment for theft.
Does Sharia allow for monarchies? no? then how can Rashids
Rashidun Caliphate wasn’t a monarchy. If you think that, sorry we cannot debate on this topic anymore. This is factually incorrect.
It's like saying North Korea is democratic since they allow their citizens to fore for Kim Jong Un. Sure they "Voted" but by definition you can't be a democracy if you are a dictatorship.
So the previous caliphates were not good? But weren’t they also golden age of Islam where you your self said had no “conservative Islam”?
If these caliphates were not good doesn’t it negate your argument that conservatism or “conservative Islam” is the reason for our downfall? Because as far as I know these were the golden age of islam during these caliphates.
Does Sharia prohibit acquiring knowledge?
I’ve never said it does.
Conservatives Muslims Absolutely want to prohibit the acquisition of (certain) knowledge.
Even the most “conservative Muslims” were very knowledgeable people. However what you said is true and not just “conservative Muslims” but Muslims in general. Certain subjects like astrology or black magic and certain parts of other subjects like numerology are not allowed for us to study because they involve shirk.
So brining up Sharia is pointless.
Bringing up shariah is absolutely necessary because you want to say the golden age of Islam was good because it wasn’t “conservative” but you also would call shariah law in Pakistan as “conservative” even tho these Muslim states during Islam’s golden age had shariah. I’m just pointing out how you guys selectively choose what you want while ignoring everything else.
How did that turn out? There must be no sects in Islam now right?.... right?
Are you saying the approach of great people like Ali R. A was wrong? Nauzubillah.
Are you ignoring the countless Hadith we have on telling us how to deal with khawarij and how hard to be on them?
There must be no sects in Islam now right?
Fitna was always gonna spread. This was predicted in Hadith’s. Nothing could have stopped it.
1. Lets compare the numbers of mosques blown up by the US/it's allies vs mosques blown up by "mujahedeens" It's not even a comparison
Ofc it’s not even a comparison. Us and its allies have bombed 100x the masjids that khawarij have. American B52 levelled entire villages in Afghanistan.
2. When the secular states do bomb mosques, it is not due to them being sunni, shia, ahmedi, etc.
I agree. It’s due to them being Muslims and not bowing down to their religion, which is the religion of a secularism and world order. They fight ideologically because secularism is also an ideology.
While mujahedeens do target mosques for being the "wrong" type of Muslim.
Those same khawarij are supported by secular states. So by extension, the blood of these innocent martyred Muslims also falls on the hands of secular states. Just like you, me and the state of Pakistan claims ttp is supported by secular india. Ttp bombs masjids. So by extension, secular india is also behind it and responsible for it.
You are asking if a secular state will bury their religious troops in a religious way. I provided examples of them doing so. Is this not what you are saying?
Your answer was about a Muslim cemetery. Was answer was about the Janazah as a whole including the whole process and on multiple levels. The other person responded more thoroughly.
