Moh’d Kheir Eiadat 25 September 2017
Can religion be a positive rather than a destructive force? asks Mohd Eiadat, of Jordan University: “Yes, in Islam, every generation should revisit it’s faith. There are 3 main traditions: 1 – the Sufi tradition, compatible with neutral political authority. 2 – the legalist, sharia based dogmatic model. 3 – the ethical model which allows neutrality, public sphere and plurality. Unfortunately the sharia based model has somehow constructed a kind dogmatic law that makes choice and revisiting Islam difficult.
