We are living the serfdom of the misguided concepts and ill-fated metaphors. God wants the human to be honest,truthful and just and not consume himself in the labels of left, right, conservative, liberal, christian, moslem, jewish, buddha etc etc. Search for god has no prospect of consummation. Enquiry in the realm of the real is a kind of devotional inclination for faithful knowledge that guide the seeker to god and to provide him with the necessary protection from the distortions of the society he is bearing witness upon in humility and tolerance, making god the referee in his confrontation. We are living in a world of fragmented languages, where the language of the trio ( money, politics and media) is the domineering language, so the rising language has to really know what and how to work in this muddy environment where the majority is under trance.As you said it is faulty to imagine that humankind can be absolved of all its ills'. Life is a trial and a test to find the true from the false in this complex system where one has be very careful with his steps. We are here to understand ourselves and work on change it and understand the world and not change. One has not to forget the cycle of himself how he started weak then turned in strength then again turned in weakness and old age. Grace and bounty are unbidden. Shuon said, all our miseries are the effect of our separation from the divine principle. All creatures are born with clothes on, except the human is born naked. What a message. Whitehead says, god is the great companion, the fellow who understand both our low moments and the highs. I can testify for that. Shuon said that truth is an intellectualized virtue and the soul is a truthful morality. Christians like moslems and jews have squandered their spiritual heritages and started aimlessly shopping around. At the endless end where did you read about islam the thing you said. Guran is not a religious book in the conventional sense, its is a referential book drawing the attention of the human mind, to look to history and to the cosmos and ponder and reach his honest conclusion, negatively or positively, that is why it has begun with Read. The problem of the west as you are fully aware is reading outside the encasement of the divine. Spiritual example is a must in the journey and maintaining contact with them is a great help in this difficult journey. Thank you for the company.
