Islam is the only thing that conserves. Even Edmund Burke said once religion ceased to guide government, men were obligated to overthrow it, king, assemblies, or democracy be damned. The very fact that conservativism is still stuck in dialogue instead of action means it is mired in liberalism and accepting the legitimacy of the order

>causation
He is strawmanning ocassionalism here. Ocassionalists hold that while efficient causation doesn’t exist, Allahﷻ makes things run in a pattern like it; in fact that each moment leads to a state very closely connected and following from the prior is seen as evidence of divine sustaining of the universe, since causation is not rational and there must be some external factor establishing the consistency. So a dependable law like causation is taken for granted as how things are made to work, it’s just ocassionalists (and not all Muslims are ocassionalists, mainly Ashari are) deny things do this of their own accord. So the very fact that things have an extremely strong pattern of events that spontaneity could simply not dictate, is not seen as blasphemy, but rather proof of an organizing principle. The belief that there is no pattern worth using in research has nothing to do with ocassionalism.

>innovation
There are two kinds. One is general bid’ah, which can be good. The other is religion bid’ah, that is innovation in religious matters, which is of course bad, the current year cannot change Islam

>Avicenna
He built on prior work, saying he just copied it is outright lying. His theology was wonky but his other contributions were regarded and built on. All the other cases he’s making here is like saying, “Newton was heretical, therefore Christianity thinks calculus is heresy.”

>Islam means Submission
Yes, which is very related to peace (salam) from an Arab perspective, both have the S-L-M root. Of course the peace Islam is understood in Arabic thought it is inner peace from passion and rebellion against God, not living a comfortable, pacifistic life.

>westerners seem fucking cowed these days. they know islam runs against all their supposed principles, and yet all they'll do is roll their eyes and look for ways to sound snarky without facing the believable threat of violence islam and muslims bring.

Looking to understand the female experience

Why is it all the major Christian thinkers of the 20th Century were accommodationists and subversives like Teilhard and Tillich, whereas the major Islamic thinkers were revolutionary theocrats like Maududi and Qutb?
