Talk:Islam and modernity

[edit] The Quote

"There is no a-historical Islam that is outside the process of historical development." Isn't this a truism? What's the point? Arrow740 11:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

The article is on relation between Islam and Modernity. This is the intro that at least two of the sources (in the external link) give at the beginning. It is a stub, the relevence will hopefully become more clear. --Aminz 11:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

It's certainly a very interesting topic. Arrow740 11:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't appear to be an appropriate topic for an encyclopedia. Arrow740 09:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

This looks like the beginning of a POV essay.Proabivouac 18:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paper

This looks like a very good collection of scholarly papers: [1]. TruthSpreader^reply 09:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

These two topics are related. This article has a strongly cited history section, but the second part sounds like a POV essay. The other article actually mentions some philosophers, but could use better citation. That said, these two articles seem pretty compatible. So long as they don't just get into *recent* Muslim philosophy, both of them deal with the efforts of philosophers to reconcile Islam with human rights, science, economics, and modern civics. As it stands now, Islam and modernity focuses on history, and has a brief editorial section. This page actually mentions some philosophers. One focuses on the history of ideas, this one focuses on the ideas themselves. They are two sides of the same coin, even if the citation is still needed. 67.71.1.93 03:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
