The Struggle within Islam : the conflict between religion and politics
Islam is a simple religion: it requires of its followers only two things-one, a belief in the unity of God and, two, a belief in the prophethood of Muhammad. Despite the pure and homogeneous nature of the faith, the history of Islam has been one of conflict. The first problem Islam faced was the issue of succession to the Prophet. From then on, Islam has been riven by dissent-a result of the almost uninterrupted face-off between Islamic rulers, who were usually secular and flexible in their interpretation and implementation of the rules and practices of Islam and fundamentalist theologians, jurists and their followers, who insisted on a rigid adherence to the Quran and the Sunna. Besides a thorough analysis of this problem, the author examines other issues that have led to discord-the treatment of non-Muslims in an Islamic State; the power of taxation of the State; the nature of punishment for certain offences mentioned in the Quran and so on. There can be no denying the importance of Islam in this day and age: The Struggle Within Islam gives us the necessary background for an understanding of the controversial and quotidian aspects of the religion and its place in the world today.
