Biblical, Talmudic, or Koranic literalists remind me of children wrinkling their noses at Belon oysters and asking for more Chef Boy-E-Dee. They want the world to be as simple as they are. ↗

لا يكاد العرب ــ وربما المسلمون ــ يتوقفون، علي مدي القرون، عن اختراع حوامل يعلقون عليها انقسام عالمهم وتشظيه؛ وبما يعنيه ذلك من أن الأصل في العالم هو الانقسام والتباعد. وهذا النوع من الانقسام هو أحد نتاجات رؤية للعالم استقرت وغلبت داخل التراث الإسلامي؛ وذلك مع ملاحظة أن تلك الرؤية للعالم تعد من رواسب ومخلفات عالم القبيلة الذي جاء الإسلام، في سعيه إلي بناء عالم جديد، لكي ينفيه ويرفعه، لكنه استمر حياً وفاعلاً في وعي العربي حتي الآن، علي الرغم من غياب القاعدة المادية الحاملة له في الواقع. إن ذلك يعني أن (القبلية) تستمر فاعلة في الوعي الراهن؛ ولو كرؤية محفزة للانقسام والتفكك، وذلك علي الرغم من غياب الحامل الواقعي لتلك الرؤية ( الذي هو القبيلة) ↗

The anti-religious modernism which now threatens Islam and Muslims everywhere can be fully understood only by understanding the religion of the civilization in whose bosom modernism first developed, against which it rebelled, and whose tenets it has been challenging through constant battle since the birth of the modern world in the Renaissance. ↗

— Seyyed Hossein Nasr

How bold we are. We shy from a flame that licks the tip of our finger for a fraction of a second, and from which we are allowed the luxury of escape. But most of humankind flaunt their disobedience in the face of an eternal fire that engulfs all, and from which there is no escape. Ever. ↗

I am a Muslim, because it's a religion that teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It teaches you to respect everybody, and treat everybody right. But it also teaches you if someone steps on your toe, chop off their foot. And I carry my religious axe with me all the time. ↗

He(Prophet Muhammad) was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports. ↗

In the Islamic world itself also there is a great crisis in he modern established universities precisely because the systems from the West have been transplanted into that world without a close integration between the humanities, which should be drawn totally from Islamic sources, the religious disciplines and the sciences which have been imported from the West. ↗
