Artikel Farish Noor - The Caliphate Coming to a Country Near You


Sebuah artikel yang tajuknya panjang;

The Caliphate: Coming Soon To A Country Near You?  The Globalisation of Islamic Discourse and its Impact in Malaysia and Beyond oleh Farish Noor.

Paragraf akhir artikel meyebut;

We can still dream of the coming of a cyber-Caliphate to come, but ours would be a Caliphate modelled on the Andalusian ideal- A minimalist confederation of autonomous centres and sites of discursive activity, based on the view of a global Islamic Ummah that is open, tolerant, decentred and poly-nuclear; cognisant of the porousness of its boundaries and the heterogeneity of its genealogy. This will not happen by itself, or through wishful thinking- such an entity can only come about through conscious and sustained political struggle on a number of levels: political, economic and discursive. Because the goal is a global one, the terrain of conflict and contestation will also have to be global as well. While such a Caliphate may not be the dream of groupings like the Taleban, Hizb’ut Tahrir and al-Muhajiroun, it is at least a dream and an invitation that is open to others.
