I know less narcissistic Sola Scriptura believers who can see how Prima Scriptura can heal the world beyond pharisaic accuracy.
Infinite legalism
Legalism can be infinite and Quran criticizes Jews for infinite legalism. Sadly infinite legalism has entered Sunni Islam.
Enforced positivity of self censorship in Islam
Islam teaches that in order to avoid over victmizing ourselves we should self censor our suffering to grow close to God. In simple terms it say traumatic self censorship is a treasure of Paradise. I suffer from an invisible illness but I am not being specific to avoid the sin of being a wimp. This act of enforced self positivity can make brain act resilient.
Pakistan and Indo-Israeli integralism
I am a Pakistani. We are theologically Israelis and culturally Indians. This integralism and universalism can be a philosophical force even if Islam is not allowed political power.
Islam and AI weighing incommensurables
The question is whether AI can decide between duty and desire with duty of promise made to friend and desired date. I would choose wife over friend because in arranged marriage duty is more important than desire. Friend would fall in category of desire.
Towards semitic scientosophy
How long construction of a semi effective intercultural bridge will take?
I intend to introduce dialectical traditionalists like neo Ghazzalis to latest research on compatibilism, because secularists in west blame him for regressive East because he considered legal praxis more important than ideas, but Feynman considered it a strength instead of weakness. Even Afro American secularist scientist named Niel uttered the same cliche lazily. In fact I have inspired a fundamentalist to study philosophy at university. While you are more qualified to make western thought more diverse and universal by studying modern thought of integralism and reluctantly existential psychology ( as some open minded westerners think it enables imperialism which I do not know why) and when you grow too old to study perennialism. But this mutual bridge construction is a two century project I guess.
Epipaleolithic faith
Tell Abu Hureyra in Syria are the earliest known farmers in the world. I am happy to know history of agriculture is linked to the name of an Islamic Companion somehow.
NatGeo and iconoclasts
NatGeo and Afghan girl: My wife is Afghan. Authentic Afghan women delete pictures like iconoclasts. We plan to delete our wedding pictures before we die God willing.
Neo orthodoxy vs neurotic mysticism
Islamism is a pejorative for authentic self aware modern educated pious Muslims. Isn’t intelligent neo orthodoxy preferable to pro supernatural neurotic mystic sentimentality, in terms of potential of becoming interfaith, intra faith and intercultural bridges?
