The Secular Mindset

With Al-Hajj Abu Ja'far al-Hanbali

1) Why are we discussing this now?

Spokesmen for Islam in the West, after telling us not to reconcile to the world (e.g. don’t go to school, chuck out the TV, consider Hijrah, build a community), are now doubling back and telling us to reconcile to the world, for example:

* talking about Islam and evolution theory, and saying that they want to hear from the theologian who is also a biologist, not just the theologian
* mocking and ridiculing people who do not follow the climate
change agenda, or are skeptical of vaccines
* telling Muslims to follow the Jews and the Catholics

We see that they are making a clear distinction between religion and science? Why? This is the secular mindset.

2) The secular foundation of the US and how this affects the rest of the Anglosphere

3) How the US education system inculcates secularism

4) The Religion vs. Science Dichotomy

* Starting with the first Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893,
as pictured above, through to the hippie era, how the world
changed in 2001 and what has happened since. Many spokesmen
for Islam in the West embraced Islam in the 1960s and 1970s; how were they affected?
