Peace upon all?It has been a long time.
With recent heat in Turkey, one begins to wonder whether Islam should be separated from the state. The problem ignites when people presume Islam as a religion. Or one of the religions! In fact Islam is not a religion. From the Quran it?s obvious that secularism is recommended, as "there is not compulsion in the deen"! Hence, we wonder sometimes "how then what is in the Quran can be applied if there is no compulsion in the deen? The answer to this is the Truth stands clear from Error. What is recommended from our Creator is to uphold the truth. The truth we rationally-scientifically evaluate. It can be from ancient civilisation, the Quran or any other medium. I do not see what the problem is with the west and the people who follow the Islamic Religions, which is not Islam! Or what?s happening is Turkey is more sinister? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks
