“Islamic” Entrepreneur Scholarship that Fuels Islamophobia
By Rashid Samnakay, New Age Islam

The word “Islamic”
today has become synonymous with scholarship of Quranic knowledge. And
the Muslim world is considered as a homogeneous “Islamic” nation
adherent of faith system, which has its roots in the Book called Quran.
There is the misguided
view that all Muslim peoples’ actions and their practices are therefore
within the ambit of a global nation and therefore the idea perhaps of
“Islamic civilisation”, the same as for example the Western and Chinese
civilisation. Nothing can be far from the truth!
But some knowledgeable
ones, for their various strategies will even invent a practice to give
it global “Islamic” tinge. For example:
-Obama
administration’s political “Burial” of Osama bin Laden at SEA in the
middle of the night was given as being according to “Islamic”
principles!
Allegedly having
killed him in an inland city Abbottabad-Pakistan, during the day, at
least one thousand kilometres from the sea and dumping the dead body at
night “according to Islamic principles” must top the list of inventions!
President Obama’s
Father, an educated Muslim of Luo tribe of Kenya, was borne not far from
the biggest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Victoria in East
Africa. He could have told his son if Muslims or anybody else including
pagans for that matter, dumped dead bodies in the lake under any
tradition or custom.
And what about the
son’s knowledge of the largest Muslim country Indonesia that is spread
over thousands of Islands and where he had spent some time as a child.
Do they practice burial at sea?
