Argument of Hussein Ibish is a Joke - In Islam Religion and Politics Remain Integrated.

Submitted by Singha (India), Mar 11, 2009 at 22:07

Hussein Ibish's pitch to separate violent concepts like Jehad will make sense only if islam manifests the capability to separate out religion and power politics. When in islam in reality, both politics and belief remain integrated, why does he want to separate these out just in schools; unless of course the intention is fool around.

He should give satisfactory answer to the fundamental question rather than pretending as if islam is just another belief system like Hinduism, where the separation of religion and secular power politics is established.
