Re: Non-Desi View on Ummah post 9/11
Babybell, the concept of Ummah is as much of a pipe dream as the concept of khilafah. An anachronistic musing that has no real world basis of occuring. Umah in itself is a static concept. Religion is only one aspect of defining similarities of differences among people. It cannot supercede or submit to another attribute like culture or social or economic standing.
The result is the rampant confusion among the muslims community as to determine a bloc on a concept that has failed to unite from the very beginning.
