Asalamu Alaikum everyone. I was wondering if anyone else has read the following article : Zarqawi And the D-Word: Is Democracy Un-Islamic? by Prof. Fawaz Gerges. I'd be very interested in anyones input on his statements below: "Young Muslims, in particular, long to be in charge of their...

Assalamu Alaikum Friend, The history lesson is Sufism was very thorough. But the question asked was never answered. I am assuming you reading Ibn Arabi's work in the original Arabic of his time, and these quotes are not gleaned from and English translation? I was not there to witness al Hallaj...
