Muslim Radicals ought to Rectify Mistakes, Learn Need of Pluralism
Summary: Here is an analysis of futility of
Islamic policies (basis of worldwide radicalism) in full swing for centuries;
the policies that have failed to better the Muslim lives anyhow are being
hailed as highest virtues and hence, the hope of hundreds of millions of
Muslims to live in a decent world with greatest confidence on Islamic virtues have
fallen through.
No Muslim country across the globe has ever gained a comfortable
position even as regards Human Development Index nor there hope of any such.
However, Dr. Tawfik Hamid beliefs it is the high time for Muslims to rectify
their perennial mistakes and learn how to live in amity with other
civilizations and other religious schools of thoughts. Unless, as per him, the
age-old gospel those who Live by the
sword, die by the sword will
come true for Muslims, already unbalanced with fratricidal killings, linguistic
conflicts, let alone burgeo ning confrontations between Sunnis and other Muslim
groups all over the globe.
And Dr. Tawfik Hamid is no ordinary man; he is a venerable Islamic
intellectual and also erstwhile Muslim extremist
from Egypt.
Discerning the threat of Radical Islam almost twenty-five years ago, he
appreciated need for a reformation based on pluralistic
notions and peaceful interpretations of classical Islamic core texts.
