Talk:Istislah

Istislah violating universal human rights

As a means of a more and more perfect realisation of the discriminatory normativity of shariah, istislah always violates universal human rights, free speech, secular values, and the equality of men and women. Insofar there is no difference between Rashid Rida and the Muslim Brotherhood concerning istislah. The two fundamentalists Rida and Sayyid Qutb shared one quran, one shariah, one istislah and knew their religion very well. Even with the greatest thinkable amount of istislah, muslims will never find a way out of Shari'ah into secular modernity. Instead, tolerated concepts and politics of istislah will pave the way towards a renewed ottoman Millet-System or renewed Andalusian Dhimma, a kind of quran-based apartheid. 79.251.112.232 (talk) 14:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Not sure how that's too relevant to this particular article -- traditional Istislah was mostly concerned with filling in minor gaps in the Shariah system, while modernist Istislah is actually about softening some of the harshness of traditional Shariah. AnonMoos (talk) 17:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
