Jan 30

Quoting the Sunam, Ibn Taymiyah states that when a woman was killed the “Messenger of Allah” halted and said ” She was not one who had faught… tell him not to kill women, children and serfs” In effect contemporary Islamists such as al-Zuhari and Osama are engaged in an unprecendented exercise of corrupting and misinterpreting the word of God to generate support for their political mission. Or, as Mary and Appelby have described the roles of Islamist ideologues : By selecting elements of tradition and modernity fundamentalists seek to remake the world in the service of a dual commitment to the unfolding escatological drama ( by returning all things to the divine) and to self preservation ( by neutralizing the threatening Other)
