How much has the Muslim community been affected by Western ideologies? Is copying the Western way necessarily harmful?
Abdur-Raheem Green comments on this topic and offers insight regarding the strange phenomenon of the "Coca-Cola Muslim" generation.
Because the honest answer is not necessarily, and a lecture that pretended otherwise would collapse on contact with the audience's own lives.
Islam has absorbed the practices of every society it entered, keeping what did not conflict. The difficulty is not influence itself but influence absorbed without examination — and telling the difference is what the two discs are for.
Abdur-Raheem Green was born to British parents in Darussalam, Tanzania. His father, Gavin Green, was a colonial administrator in the then-existing British Empire, later joining Barclays Bank in 1976 and being posted to Egypt.
That biography is not incidental to the lecture. A man raised inside the British establishment, in a colonial family, speaking about cultural absorption is not making the argument from outside — he is describing something he moved through in the opposite direction.
Muslims raised in the West, and parents watching a generation grow up with the values of the surrounding society and the labels of Islam.
