Not wacky at all
Rajan Seri is downright jealous that the Organisation of Islamic Nations came up with an idea for the U.N. to give a Muslim member country one seat on the Security Council. Aiz shares his reservations. The idea for a “United Nations” of religions is not new. Ism’il al-Faruqi once proposed in his work, “Al-Tawhid” that the U.N. be reorganised into a series of “ummahs”, i.e. a Christian ummah, a Muslim ummah, etc.
Hence, I am all for it. This is a good step towards eventual de-nationalisation. We need to discard this senseless ideology of “nationalism” and move towards an “ummatism” of religions, which is much more fairer and just. Insha’allah, this idea firstproposed by Faruqi 20 years ago will go through.
