“This majority, they contend, are just like us. They pray like Americans, dream of professional advancement like Americans, delight in technology like Americans, celebrate democracy like Americans, and cherish the ideal of women’s equality like Americans.”
This describes my Muslim Brother In Law very well. A great husband to my sister. A wonderful father. An owner of a high tech business. But he’s a social Muslim. I’ve never seen him pray. But he grew up in Turkey. He’s a “social” Muslim, not a religious one. An example of upper-class Turkish secularism.
What kind of muslim do you think your BIL would become if he moved your sister to Turkey? Would he still be a social muslim do you think? In Turkey, islam is the dominating religion. In the US it isn’t.
Sorry, I didn't comment on this.
Then why doesn't he leave islam if he's more secularist than religious?
