Quran is not a simple book that anyone can interpret without the required knowledge and actual context. Quran is actually a guide for the humanity and it was meant for the generations to follow till the day of judgment. It was not meant for, or limited to, the momentary utility. Every instruction and every guidance is for all the generations to come. So, it is very difficult to conclude that some of its portions have no practical utility today. Or that such portions of the Quran lead some Muslims to "highly exclusionary conclusions."

Sidelining Islam is not the answer. Our "real war" should be to debate how best can we apply Islam's golden principles in social, political, economic and social life, and assure the "real warriors" that an Islamic government would never pose a threat to their interests. A genuine shift in these directions would help resolve the internal difficulties of Pakistan by strengthening its systems from within and ensuring closeness with the rest of the Islamic world. We would survive only if we stick to Islam.";s:12:"theTitle_ORG";s:19:"The Real War Begins";s:25:"processRelatedFacetsTitle";s:0:"";s:15:"whereItCameFrom";s:75:"_blp_taxonomy_archives.php & zone12 & tax-query & mostrecent on by=abid-jan";s:6:"theTag";s:39:"thomas friedman|/topics/thomas-friedman";}
