Mawdudi's Curse: Islamism in Pakistan and the concept of global, permanent jihad

As always factually incorrect at most points and the rest is selective reading based on personal biases.

We shall start with the concept of the nation state in Islam. Sovereignty is solely with Allah. Thus from a religious point of view a muslim swears his loyalty and servitude to Allah. Nothing else. No nation state. The concept of the Ummah is another manifestation of how the nation state is not a valid concept for the Islamic world. Hell the Europeans have proven very well that the nation state system is dead.

Then how do you explain the hadith that explicitly states that “Love of your country is part of the faith” then?

What you’re saying is that for Muslims living in the West, they don’t have to express loyalty, hence why you have extremist groups who use your similar reasoning to suicide bomb commuter trains in London and Madrid and fly planes into buildings in NYC. You are effectively giving the impression that Muslims in Western countries are not to be trusted and thus giving Islamophobes an excuse to restrain Muslim immigration.

Can you blame them?

BTW, the whole khalifa non-sense is dead. There’s a reason why it collapsed, but you’re too obsessed with trying to profess that you’re upholding the message of the Almighty, just like the Taliban did.
