Hi,
Speaking of Islamic law and how they might rule the world...is this a bit
different from the traditional type of law (Sharia) that I keep hearing that
ALL
Islamists want to institute?
I'd be curious to know the differences...they have listed on their website a
constitution that they say would be healthy...if they were in charge (I
gather).
Develop a Working Constitution & System.
This is the Key difference that makes PM stand out from all the movements
that have called for a return to the path of God Alone. PM has put together all
the legal verses from the Quran to produce a vibrant and dynamic
Constitution, system of government, and laws based on the system of God.
Also--have you read this book (published by the Progressive Muslim folk
themselves--probably because like that of the emergent Christian movement,
they
have been somewhat locked out of many markets...?
Best,
Marlena
(thinking that LH needs to remember that what we see is often what we
get--just because you don't see/hear of the progressive/liberal/moderate
Muslim
writings does NOT necessarily mean they do not exist-often if they are by
small
presses, or contrary to what the 'popular' sensational viewpoints are, they
won't get reviewed by the ones who either need a common 'enemy' or who
discount it because it is published by not-in-the-mainstream...)
The Natural Republic : A Guide to Muslim Advancement into the 21st Century
(Paperback)
Book Description
The Natural Republic tackles the most controversial of issues to bring out
the answers of what has happened to the state of Muslims, while presenting a
viable and realistic solution to move forward
After 1,400 years of the Quran's revelation, and after being role models for
humankind with advancement in every aspect of life and science; Muslim
nations have regressed to become weak, dysfunctional, and problematic.
The Natural Republic is written by Muslims, for Muslims, to bring about a
proper understanding of the model of Islam and, through the implementation of
the system and constitution outlined in this book, to return its followers to
become productive societies and role models for humankind.
To many Muslims, what will be revealed in The Natural Republic may be
disturbing to established beliefs and practices. However, unless we are willing
to
realize our mistakes and make amends, there will be no other way for us to
move forward.
"That is because God was not to change any blessings He had given a people,
except if they had changed what was in themselves. God is Hearer,
Knowledgeable." (Quran 8:53)
