State and Secularism in Islam

The question of whether Islam is "compatible" with European principles of so-called democracy, secularism and human rights (more specifically women's rights, LGBT rights, etc.) is currently under discussion on Islam in a Europe. This is the theological enigma: the question of how Muslims should integrate into European society is intended to be linked to the study of the religious foundations that underlie Islam as a religion. Either Muslims offer and promote a liberal interpretation of Islam, or their European integration depends on an earlier theological reform that would (once again) bring Islam into line with supposedly Western values. In both cases, Muslims either offer and promote a liberal interpretation of Islam, or their European integration is tied to an earlier theological reform. The media often highlights the plight of some "moderate" Muslim thinkers who should be encouraged and encouraged to oppose their fellow believers. In France, for example, local imams such as Soheib Ben Cheykh1 in Marseille or Hassen Chalghoumi in Seine-Saint-Denis are portrayed as lone reformists attacked by fundamentalist groups. In the United States, the media often highlights the plight of some "moderate" Christian thinkers who need Others to even draw parallels between Irshad Manji and Martin Luther. 3 Tahir ul Kadri, the leader of the Pakistani religious movement, introduced himself as the first Muslim leader to write a definitive fatwa against terrorism in a speech he made in England. Other Muslim thinkers and leaders have also claimed to be the long-awaited Muslim reformer in the West desperately needs. This essentialist point of view can be seen in the background of many events that are reflected in the media, from terrorism to polygamy and honor killings, as well as in the policies implemented by various governments and administrative authorities
