Everything Is Political
When it comes to ‘reviving the Islamic spirit’ & ‘journey of faith’ says Gabriel G, and he writes about his experiences during the first two years as a Muslim:
The purpose of this post is to give everyone a heads up so that they can be fully aware of the ‘intellectual/theological’ debates that are actively raging in Islam amongst scholars (at least those that carry much clout within the Muslim community - far from the fringe) and the ‘political/socio-economic’ conclusions that they can lead to. In other words, I will argue that, all intellectual and theological interpretations of Islam follow the same trajectory in that they all will eventually lead to particular political/socio-economic conclusions – therefore, no Muslim can avoid treating them as pre-cursors to a particular political argument. I will try to be impartial in opening up this discussion but I highly doubt it would be to everyone’s satisfaction — just keep that in mind.
