ksazma posted:Ironically while the theory of Islam was intended to prevail, the methods by which those theories can be realized can be fluid. Islam when practiced by Muhammad went through several changes in order to accomplish its objectives. Changes continued even after the death of Muhammad which was beneficial to Muslims as well as non-Muslims. Unfortunately we have allowed the Arabs especially Saudi Arabia to push us back into antiquated methods that don’t correspond to how we live today. While it may look impressive seeing all those Muslims around the world dressed like Arabs now, the long term effects will prove detrimental as many modern Muslims begin to question it. To add to that eventuality will be the question of some of the methods not applicable to today’s thought process which can create a situation like how many Christians stop seeing any reason to be religious. Unfortunately the current breed of mullahs aren’t matured enough to see that far into the future. That is sad because Islam being practiced without the current Arab influence is beautiful.
My response should be above yours but I had to delete and re post mine because of glaring typos that needed editing to make sense. I sometimes get in a roll and never proof read until too late.
