When Islam Breaks Down by Theodore Dalrymple, City Journal Spring 2004: Apr 21, 1:10pm 7 reviews islam
http://www.city-journal.org/html/14_2_when_islam.html; raises intelligent points and valid criticisms, but I disagree with the conclusions. This is because of personal experience, the same reason (freely admitted in the article, which is refreshing) used by the author. The ignorance he mentions by his Pakistani-African Muslim acquaintance, I accredit to social dilemmas; lack of education, not realizing the necessity for diversity in one's religious pool, short term gains delivered by zealotry, lack of religious understanding outside of adhering to dogma. The blinding and self destructive religious elitism that exists in these cultures is not implicit to Islam. This isn't Islamiphobic, just not overly compensating to appeal to moderate Muslims, and really calling for a step away from strict religious adherence. This is where the author's argument becomes weak, for the ideological deterioration is no longer an exclusivity to Islam, but something to accredit to organized religion. The separation of church and state as a political strength does not dissuade this, but reflects a basic difference of opinion. The current crisis is not a necessary repercussion of believing that worship exists continually in life (a staple of eastern faith), but a failure to understand that worship, and falling servant to political agenda .
