Criticism
While disagreeing with Ali Sina for saying Islam is not a religion but a political ideology, Robert Spengler writing in the Asia Times compares that claim to Immanuel Kant’s who said Judaism is not a religion but a set of laws and rejects both. Robert Spengler continues “Ali Sina and other Muslim secularizers are just as wrong. I shall argue that Islam is both a religion and a political ideology. Religion is what makes Islamic political ideology so dangerous.” He adds, “Ali Sina is wrong: Islamic expansionism arises from religious motives, that is, a holy rage against the encroachment of death upon traditional society. In the form of Islam, the West confronts a challenge quite different from communism.”
