This before them?

October 16, 2008  |  Thoughts

Muslims activists struggle each day.

Whether its democracy, feminism or technology, they try to say how Islam had the first this or that…

But what is their purpose? What’s the idea?

To show us how we ended up with -this- before them?

Didn’t Islam bring something different?

Something better than -this-?

    Selamun aleykum,
    Holistically speaking, Islam is not comparable to any other system. Deconstructing other systems into piece parts and arguing against discrete components, is not effective. It appears to be reactive and defensive to speak in terms that are coined to support the other systems. Often the logic falls short. Muslims should explain Islam as it is – not as it compares. The basic foundation of capitalism is wrong, against the human spirit. Why try to explain Islam with reference to fundamental errors?
