Is Islamism a bankrupt ideology?

Re: Is Islamism a bankrupt ideology?

Given the fact that it was propounded by people who had no knowledge of Islam and were merely trying to capitalise on the changing political situation. E.g. Maudoodey, who was a cheap journalist, knew feck-all about Islamic jurisprudence, and put together a** jumble of ideas** to form his ideology of Islamism. He opposed Pakistan’s creation, but once it was created he shifted office to Lahore to begin poisoning the constitutional deliberations.

How can we tolerate such people?

Cheap journalist?

Have you read his work? Definitely not.

Tolerance is in islam.

Islamism is not an Islamic term. It is created by the people who have no idea about Islam and see islam from a distance.

What Islamic view close to this term is Shariah implemented by Khalifahs immediately after the prophet. (PBUH)

Off course Shariah needs some addition and sbtraction to keep pace with changing world but essentials must reamain same.

But thats not what the intent of thread is. Its about bashing people who wanted shariah in Pakistan being an Islamic state. (No its not created as a ‘secular’ country’ )
