Islam Today
February 9, 2010
This is the problem with unedifying labels like Islam and the West: They mislead and confuse the mind, which is trying to make sense of a disorderly reality that won’t be pigeonholed or strapped down as easily as all that.
Where does one really draw the line? I feel as if Islam does not prohibit Western/modern thoughts and ideas as much the media protray’s it to. I find as if we are trying to finding so many differences amongst each other instead of similarities. Said says it best when he states: “…we are all swimming in those waters, Westerners and Muslims and others alike. And since the waters are part of the ocean of history, trying to plow or divide them with barriers is futile.”
