How come when Shariah ruled over the Muslims they were scientists but when secular law came it spawned TERROR?

Question

When Islamic law ruled over the Muslim world........ Muslims were the best scientists and educators in the world.

When secular law ruled over the Muslim world....... Muslims became the most backward, degraded people on the earth .

The confusion caused by secular laws clashing with religious needs have spawned the scourage of TERRORISM.

"In the eyes of history, religious toleration is the highest evidence of culture in a people....It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant, and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture. Before the coming of Islam it (tolerance) had never been preached as an essential part of religion...” –Marmaduke Pickthall

Answer 1

uhm, in the early centuries of islam muslims were free to speculate, but later they were not. A mistaken understanding of Al-Ghazali's work made philosophy suspect in the muslim world, after the eleventh century. Europe on the other hand followed Ibn Rushd (via Thomas Aquinas) which led to philosophy and science being essential parts of higher education. Paradoxically this scolarly attitude was also heavily influenced by Al-Ghazali: he wrote that one had to understand the philosphers in order to refute them. While muslims concluded that apparently Al-Ghazali had refuted the philosophers once and for all, the christians concluded that every scholar had to study the philosophers.
So... what you are describing happened a little bit earlier I'm afraid. The fact is that the wisdom of Cordoba and Granada went to Paris and Florence, not to Baghdad and Cairo. That's where it all went wrong so to say... not in the twentieth century.

Answer 2

It's because the rise of secular law in Islamic countries posed an existential problem for Muslims. Islam is, by nature, political. When the Qur'an and the Sunnah ceased to be the source of civil code, Muslims had to question what happened to that social dimension of the religion. After all, if it had failed and been replaced by secular law, then that meant that the religion was imperfect. At the very least, they had to admit that their implementation of the religion was incomplete. This interjects doubt - and we know to what lengths people will go to suppress doubt in their own minds.

All the best,

Islam is a practical religions based on true principles of nature as created by the creator. The false claimer of religion take it to any wrong direction the like. Prophet SAW has warned against these false pretenders:

. "Narrated Ka'b ibn Malik: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Two hungry wolves let loose among sheep are not more destructive to them than a man's greed for property and self-esteem are to his religion."
Tirmidhi and Darimi transmitted it. (Tirmidhi Hadith1345)

"Narrated Ziyad ibn Hudayr: Umar said to me: Do you know what demolishes Islam? I said: No. Whereupon he said: It is the slip of a scholar and the dispute of the hypocrite by the Book, and the commands of the misguided rulers which demolish it". Transmitted by Darimi. - (Tirmidhi Hadith 102)

Answer 9

What ARE you on about?

I just reread your question . . . and it appears that you are admitting that Islam is so weak that it can't survive, much less thrive, unless it's joined with government.

God stands on his own and needs no government.

You're trying to blame terrorism on the west in your round-about away. Once again, if Islam can't stand up to the secular power of western influence . . . maybe Allah isn't as powerful as you think.
