| I'm hoping our society takes advantage of what's to come and starts to focus   |
| on things other then as you've mentioned STEM. Though we should take the helm  |
| there as well but do it in a way that's not imitating others but charting our  |
| own course without foregoing our Deen.                                         |
|                                                                                |

| This isn't the fault of Islam but the fault of Muslims. Islam doesn't curtail  |
| creativity it filters and improves it. What Muslims have done is followed      |
| certain rigid ways of doing things and stuck to it instead of letting the Deen |
| allow the flourishing of our societies in the modern world.                    |
|                                                                                |
| And something to keep in mind, Islam is from our creator so best to be careful |
| when blaming it for things that the creation succumbs to.                      |
|                                                                                |

| Facchine and the man seriously has such good insights. May Allah سُبْحَانَهُۥ       |
| وَتَعَالَىٰ preserve and protect him and his family.                                |

| Wanted to share the very comprehensive response from Imam Tom to the following |
| question by Muhammad Jalal.                                                    |
|                                                                                |
| (Also super satisfying that I don't have to break up my post due to a paywall  |
| limitation 😆)                                                                  |

| MJ: Those who Embrace Islam are they expected to embrace Muslim culture in     |
| inverted commas or Arab culture or Pakistani culture whether that's dress or   |
| food or you know other aspects of cultural life because of course we do see a  |
| lot of converts who become Muslim and culturally also they shift more than     |
| just their ideas and their habits and their religious commitments.             |
|                                                                                |
| TF: This is one of the most important questions especially for Islam in Europe |
| and the UK because there's two mistakes going on, and one is one that's        |
| committed by the Muslims and we have to own that.                              |
|                                                                                |
| That Islam has a positive relationship towards local cultures. That everywhere |
| Islam, because Islam is a barebones set of instructions and guidelines, when   |
| it comes to your individual worship it's quite detailed but when it comes to   |
| your culture it's actually quite barebones, if you look at marriage, if you    |
| look at transactions, if you look at dress, if you look at food, it's very     |
| barebones.                                                                     |
|                                                                                |
| Is that by accident or by design? It's by design. Why? So that it can be a     |
| universal religion, so that it can travel to lands and be accepted by people   |
| and actually have a productive relationship with the local culture. So there's |
| almost like a three-fold filtration that happens when Islam interacts          |
| productively with these cultures is that there are certain cultural elements   |
| that are completely illegitimate and harm human beings; alcohol, zina,         |
| promiscuity, these sorts of things are inherently harmful, and culture cannot  |
| justify them.                                                                  |
|                                                                                |
| There's another category of things that's a mixed bag. There's good elements   |
| to it, and there's bad elements to it, and so if you remove the bad harmful    |
| elements to it then it's actually fine.                                        |
|                                                                                |
| Let's take poetry, maybe even rap, drill, maybe you could have something where |
| there's positive messages and there's nothing inherent about it, it's an art   |
| form there's nothing inherent about that which is wrong, it's dependent upon   |
| the content and the messages that are being conveyed.                          |
|                                                                                |
| Then there's a third category of things that are fine the way they are you     |
| know beans and toast it's completely fine, the way that you dress, Islam it    |
| has guidelines for what you need to cover but not for how you need to cover    |
| it.                                                                            |
|                                                                                |
| So you're covered appropriately with a suit with a blazer and a shirt and      |
| someone else who wears flowing robes and someone else who does this they're    |
| all equally valid.                                                             |
|                                                                                |
| So historically wherever Islam has gone it has produced a local version of     |
| that culture that was very vibrant and productive, so when it was in Arabia it |
| produced an Islamic Arab culture, and then when it went to North Africa it     |
| produced an Islamic Berber culture or an Islamic North African culture and     |
| then when it went to West Africa or subsaharan Africa an Islamic Sahel culture |
| and then into Anatolia and into the Balkans and into Iran and into South Asia  |
| and the subcontinent, and into southeast Asia.                                 |
|                                                                                |
| Everywhere Islam went it produced a new local culture.                         |
|                                                                                |
| Okay now what about when it comes to the UK? We have to allow it to produce a  |
| local culture here. If we think that Islam in the UK is only going to be       |
| reproducing cultural forms from Arabia and the subcontinent then that is not   |
| allowing Islam to do the work that it needs to do and it will always be        |
| perceived as a foreign religion and it will never be considered an option for  |
| the average Englishman or woman to take on themselves.                         |
|                                                                                |
| On the other side of that and this is the so we've owned our mistake here, now |
| let's get to the other side, that Allah says in the Quran that he divided      |
| people into Nations and tribes so that they would get to know one another.     |
|                                                                                |
| And so the diversity, they say variety is the spice of life, diversity is an   |
| enriching factor and in the age of ethnonationalism, which is another ideology |
| and one very problematic, we have experienced an intense homogenization of     |
| everything, homogenization of language, homogenization of culture, my family   |
| as I mentioned came from Italy in 1905, there's a saying with the Italians it  |
| said there are no such thing as Italians except outside of Italy. Garibaldi I  |
| believe, one of the nationalists, he said okay we succeeded in making Italy    |
| now we have to make Italians. It's a construct, there is no such thing as      |
| Italy really I mean if you go like the venetians and the Sicilians are very    |
| different, my family comes from Veneto, they don't see themselves as having a  |
| lot in common with the Sicilians, they can't even barely understand each other |
| before standardized Italian and standardized Italian didn't really even pick   |
| up until the 60s and 70s, so these things are constructs.                      |
|                                                                                |
| If you go to what does it mean to be British, how far are we going to go back? |
| Are we talking about after the Norman Invasion, so we've got Anglo Saxon       |
| Norman culture or the Normans are problematic let's just roll it back to the   |
| Anglo-Saxon culture and before the Anglo-Saxon culture we have the British     |
| Roman culture and before the Roman Invasion it was just the Britains and the   |
| Picts and all these these groups.                                              |
|                                                                                |
| You have to realize that these things are influx, and that these things are    |
| sociohistorical constructions and that they're fluid. They're fluid, it's      |
| meant to enrich life and the nation state and specifically the ethnonation     |
| state has taken a snapshot, it's as if there's a whole movie and you took a    |
| screenshot of one frame that said this is the only part of the movie we're     |
| allowed to play.                                                               |
|                                                                                |
| They're having arguments in Italy about tortellini if tortellini can have      |
| halal meat inside of it, it's ridiculous, tortellini you know it can have      |
| anything inside. How old is tortellini. There were things before tortellini,   |
| tomatoes didn't even come to Italy until after the "discovery" or              |
| "exploration" of the new world.                                                |
|                                                                                |
| What were they eating in Italy before the tomato? These things are much more   |
| influx than we give credit for, they're much more fluid than we give credit to |
| and the ethnonation state asks us to homogenize in an unreasonable way that we |
| have to be willing to embrace a certain amount of variety as an enriching      |
| variety.                                                                       |

| Now where the rub comes in and where people in the UK feel it and people in    |
| Europe feel it is that their ways of life and that diversity and their own     |
| locally informed culture is being erased it is being erased but who's erasing  |
| it? Exactly who's erasing it? Is it the Muslim from the subcontinent, first of |
| all you shouldn't have colonized them if you didn't want them to come here.    |
|                                                                                |
| Tired of the somalis and Nigerians and the pakistanis, you shouldn't have      |
| colonized them, chickens coming home to roost but leave that for a second, the |
| working class British person what's the real threat to eliminating their       |
| culture it's not the Pakistani and the Nigerian and the Bangladeshi it's       |
| McDonald's it's Coca-Cola it's globalization and there's a sense that some     |
| people are starting to see that but they don't realize how under threat they   |
| are.                                                                           |
|                                                                                |
| Why can't you have a big family? Why don't you have high birth rates? Why      |
| don't you have bigger families? Because neoliberal capitalism has squeezed you |
| so tightly you have to work so hard just to survive, rents are out of control, |
| prices are out of control, they have set up the entire system to squeeze you   |
| so that you can barely even support yourself let alone a family, let alone     |
| five children. That's why it's low, they've undermined your sense of what      |
| relationships and love should be through their Disney movies and media and     |
| culture, they've normalized indecency and promiscuity. They've normalized all  |
| these things that's what is threatening your culture, that's what's            |
| threatening your viability, not the people who have come from abroad.          |
|                                                                                |
| Now our duty is to make sure we don't get conscripted and Muslims have to be   |
| careful because the left wants to conscript us and bring us in and make us     |
| fodder for that criticism, you see that's the game and there are people that   |
| there will be on the right and they look at that and they'll say see look the  |
| Muslims are just part of this DEI initiative they're going to force this down  |
| our throats we're all going to be doing these sorts of things imposed upon us  |
| minority rights all of this regime it's like they sense, it's like someone put |
| a blindfold on them and they sense that something is wrong but they're         |
| misdiagnosing what's exactly wrong.                                            |
|                                                                                |
| Us we have to make sure that we're not conscripted into that, we have to       |
| resist the enforcement or imposition of these different cultures that are      |
| coming in. It has to be mutually agreed to, it has to be mutually beneficial,  |
| it has to be a dialogue, it has to be an exchange.                             |
|                                                                                |
