It would be an intra-religious movement as opposed to a universalist one (though obviously it doesn&#8217;t shun allies). It would be a cousin of the international left, but in a Muslim garb. Just as the Muslim right found Islamic means to justify the destructive ideas from the enlightenment (Fascism, Marxism, totalitarianism, evangelical religion), the Muslim left should find Islamic means to justify the positive ones (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anti-foundationalism\">anti-foundationalism<\/a>, pragmatism, autonomy, tolerance).<\/p>\n<p>This Muslim left should also espouse the following basic ideas, without being limited to them:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 separation of mosque and state;<br \/>\n\u2022 opposition to tyranny (even if the tyrant has liberal values);<br \/>\n\u2022 affirmance of republicanism or democracy;<br \/>\n\u2022 an ability to coherently demonstrate that the Muslim right represents merely one interpretation of Islam;<br \/>\n\u2022 a commitment to free speech and eagerness to defeat the Muslim right in the marketplace of ideas;<br \/>\n\u2022 commitment to religious individualism and opposition to left-collectivism, specifically Marxism;<br \/>\n\u2022 opposition to economic protectionism;<br \/>\n\u2022 opposing any and all calls for a &#8222;council of religious experts&#8220; that can oversee legislation (even if those experts are liberals); and<br \/>\n\u2022 affirming international law.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim leftists will &#8211; it is a must &#8211; have to be able to articulate all of these in Islamic terms, in order to persuade the people who need to be convinced, ie Muslims. This means that a Muslim leftist will, naturally, also have facility in the Muslim traditions. The real-world paucity of individuals with such dual facility is indicative of how far behind Muslim leftism is currently.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ali Eteraz, ein junger pakistanisch-amerikanischer Intellektueller, hat eine interessante Serie \u00fcber &#8222;islamische Reform&#8220; im Guardian.
