Re: Political Aspects of Religious Movement
^ thats a loaded question brother
who is right ? the pro-establishment or anti-establishment religious lobby
to personify this conflict look at ibn tayymiyah/syrian school and their feud with the Kufan /iraqi school
I havent totally figured it out myself , but I lean towards where I find the majority of the sahaba /tabeen and their pupils who were steadfast muslims and continued to uphold islamic principles whether through sword or simply imparting "subversive" religious knowledge.Thats why I favor the kufa/iraq and medina schools which were also incidently the focal points of the majority of the rebellions]
