friends, dato and tansri,
before we move on to surah as sad , for us who missed al jazeera's fine documentary on 'the 'caliphate',
let us revisit this documentary.
i am no historian.
it is difficult to precisely pin point when exactly the dirty fingers of political islam really started.
one can argue political islam really started after nabi's demise.
certainly not seen much during caliph abu bakr.
during umar 's time, the land mass under muslim rule got bigger with muawiyah being an efficient general as well as governor
with othman's assassination, political islam was in full bloom.
with territorial expansion, lots of money and dunya, this is inevitable.
and interesting and well researched documentary.
a sad one as well towards the end.
watch this series if you can spare the time.
this will mainly explain :
...why later days muslims, 1.8 billion of them become 'apologists for their ugama in the late 20th and early 21st century;
...why 'muslim nation states' come to regard social bodies and organizations that really can uplift their level of depravity and sense of pride , bodies such as ikhwanul muslimin, hamas and hizbul it tahrir, just to name a few , as organizations that need to be banned and shunned, by muslims themselves.
... why this recent shameless blockade of progressive state like qatar by its shameless neighbours can occur. donald trump wants it!
....why much of syria, iraq, afghanistan, pakistan and yemen are presently in turmoil
liberal islam, ok
g 25 islam, ok
g 25 islam, ok
sisters in islam , ok
irshad manji's brand of reformation in islam , very very ok !
[ ....and by the way she 'got married' to her partner, laura bacaro, in hawai in may 2016 ]
that is also ok.
'these types of islam ok.
but if you guys talk about syariah , we will nuke or drone you'

[ the caliph part 2 ]
[ the caliph part 3 ]
ps:
for readers from usa, europe and outside malaysia, not familiar with these two terms: g25 and sisters in islam,
these two represent socalled progressive muslims in malaysia.
g25 is consisted of retired distinguished senior govt servants and ex ambassadors, and sisters in islam, prime movers are mainly a small group of single professional ladies with liberal islam in their minds in the background.
