Islam: Identity or Faith? | |
By Saif Shahin, NewAgeIslam.com 15 Jan 2012 |
Globalisation has posed questions of culture and identity to everyone. Europe is living in fear of turning into “Eurabia”, while Arabs are afraid their children, being brought up by housemaids from Kerala, will speak Malayalam as their mother tongue. In such a world, there is no running away from the question: who am I? And there is no harm in the answer being: I am a Muslim. But Islam need not be just an illusory identity, it can be a liberating faith that helps people not just find their place in the world but be at peace with it as well. -- Saif Shahin, NewAgeIslam.com http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamIslamAndWest_1.aspx?ArticleID=6396 |
