Produktbeschreibung
Many in the West think that they know about Islamic law and its system of governance. But they are victims of the illusion of knowledge. They receive false knowledge from Islamophobics who refuse to acquire or acknowledge true knowledge. Misapplication of Islamic law and its system of governance in many Muslim majority states re-enforces this false knowledge. Misunderstanding must be illuminated with knowledge. Islamic law and its system of governance misapplication must be clarified. This is the goal of the book. Because this book utilizes only the most authentic sources of Sunni Islam to defeat ignorance, it poses a great challenge to the Islamophobia's demagogue. This book uproots years of Islamophobic work seeking to spread ignorance and hatred of Islam. To be sure, this book is neither an apology, propaganda, nor a work of advocacy. It aims only to illustrate what Sunni Muslims believe of Islamic law and its Ideal system of governance. Neither wrong practices of Islamic law and its system of governance nor the smokescreen of Islamophobia should control our understanding of the subject matter. A simple analogy may clarify the issue at hand. A distinction ought to be made between the car and the driver. A distinction must be made between Islamic law and its system of governance on one hand and the common misunderstandings and misrepresentation by Muslim majority States.
