The New Jahiliyyah

A video lecture by Abdal-Hakim Murad via Mere Islam:

Also, his insights into the common “New Jahiliyyah” mentality of new Muslim converts who feel that “if only we can only get rid of those grumpy old Urdu-speaking gentlemen from the committee of the local mosque, the mosque will be a beacon of light and everybody’s going to convert” are certainly spot on. Indeed, all four forms of neo-Jahiliyyah that he discusses are very acute in our communities and thus important for all of us, not just converts, to understand.
