Peace bro bao bihari
Dr. Khalid Blankinship is a highly under-rated scholar of history in general, but as a Muslim he has studied Islamic history from angles that you and I couldn’t even perceive until he provides glimpses of it, he rolls dates of his tongue without a thought …
In other videos and his analysis of Islamic civilisation he emphasises that the caliphate model is doomed to failure … We cannot return to it … What he wishes for is a form of Islamic democracy … That state is separate to the religion, but collectively the people democratically favour religious ideals … That is Islamic Shari’ah is implemented through the choice of the masses rather than being imposed on them or reinterpreted to be favourable to the ruling elite.
The term “offensive jihad” … I find oxymoronic and offensive … How can a religion that practices peace be in favour of bloodshed? Rather the only mechanism of jihad that makes sense is to pick up a sword only to take the sword out of the hands of a madman … And after that is achieved to put that sword back down again, this is jihad.
We don’t need colonial penetration these days … Islam as an ideology is spread everywhere … The intent of spreading Islam to the whole world is already achieved through modern media … And the fruits of it are people like Khalid Blankinship … who are born to non-Muslims and convert to Islam.
This does not in any way diminish our zeal for jihad … That is a misnomer … Jihad as in the form found on Muslim battlefields of the past … should be waged when there is need for it not for the sake of it.
