On the Philosophy of Conservatism
Re: On the Philosophy of Conservatism
The author, Musa al-Gharbi, is involved in Middles East studies. As a whole the Middle East is a conservative place. That is probably why his interest in conservatism.
Musa al-Gharbi must appreciate the fact that at the heart of the conflicts in the Middle East is its conservatism and its resistance to change. But the march of History has other ideas, that the Middle East has to change its conservative ways if it is to be partnered with the rest of the world.

That won't happen until Muslims start to ameliorate their emphasis on religion which means becoming more secular along with the rest of the world. As it stands now, they're nothing but throwbacks to the Middle Ages completely out of place in time and secular advancement.spike wrote:The author, Musa al-Gharbi, is involved in Middles East studies.

If conservatives in America had not been forced to change their unprogressive ways, of segregation and gender inequality, America may very well have ended up in a revolution like that which is now engulfing the Middle East.
