  • After British political philosopher Roger Scruton delivered an address at Zaytuna College urging religious communities to offer a political vision that centralizes the sacred, he sat down with Hamza Yusuf (Editor-in-Chief of Renovatio/President of Zaytuna College) for a stimulating discussion on how faith communities can engage in the civic life of broader society.
    This video captures the essence of that discussion, which was recorded at Zaytuna College in Berkeley, CA on April 23, 2018.

    RIP. Sir Scruton, a true English scholar that many traditionalists from nearly all religious and ethnic background respect and regarded highly. God have mercy on him.

    This is how people of different religious faiths should interact with each other..not berating each other.

      Two people of different faiths who understand their faiths have infinitely more in common than either one in relation to the world-at-large, especially today. The difference is the modern and postmodern world with regard to any tradition.

    Marginilization due to difference in intellectual opinions and stances is different from that due to inherent elements such as race, culture and/or religion (though one could argue one can change one's own religion).

    • @MohamedAli-ko4sm
      @MohamedAli-ko4sm 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Venera Sejdiu true, being marginalized for having conservative values in today's universities is not close to being on the same level as marginalization of entire populations for their race or believes. However the point he was making is that if the victim internalizes the hate and marginalization they are their own first enemy. It's already happening in some aspects to Muslim youth in the west who are increasingly internalizing the Islamophobia that they are growing up with and are questioning their values, and traditions.

    I was saddened, in Turkey by the loss of harmony and beauty in architecture. You contrast modern developments in Ankara with the beauty of Ottoman architecture and wonder, what happened to the v that produced Sinan?

    I'm glad there's a dialogue between Islamic and Christian thought, and I belong to the Muslim world, but I think it's inappropriate to use Arabic terminology in front of a non speaker and non Muslim. It's as if a Christian Catholic priest would continously use canonical Latin terminology. Also, one can say "peace and blessings" instead of using the Arabic term after each time the word the Prophet is used. It doesn't come across as either polite or appropriate.

      Alot of conservatives dont understand their position in postmodernity, much like the progressives. Thats why fallacies (like you pointed out) occur. I would consider myself as a traditional muslim, but a traditional muslim in pre-modern times and in postmodernity has a entierly different phenomenological reality. The material world which we live in has changed from smaller structures (of fascist logic) into a superstructure, and within this superstructure exists our differences which causes logical malfunctions (like your example of their contradictions of architecture).

    Gosh, one can just say Quran in English and hadith pronounced in English. It's an English conversation. Why this insistence on pronouncing the words in Arabic? It comes across as pathetic to be honest, as if one is trying to prove something or shove something down the man's throat. The word Quran exists in English and is pronounced as spelled in English, and hadith. It actually diverts one's attention from the actual content of what Mr Hamza Yusuf wants to say.
