Topics to consider

So what are the things we need to look at? Let's make a short unstructured list of issues and topics; perhaps one can structure and prioritise them later:

1. Islam: political ideology or religion with some political aspects?
2. Khilafah system: is there such a thing? Mirage, fantasy or divine promise?
3. Shariah: implemented or abided by (even in ruling context)?
4. Democracy: is it really a problem or could it hold the key to the solution?
5. Resuming the Islamic way of life: but did it ever stop?
6. Islamic state: do people really want one?
7. Islamic state: why do I want one?
8. What exactly would be "Islamic" about an Islamic state?
9. Why did the Ottoman empire collapse?
10. Isn't freedom of religious belief essential for accountability/reward?
11. ...
12. Rizq: aqeedah or just fact of life?
13. Shukr/Hamd: is it just saying "thank you" to Allah?

(to be continued, insha Allah)
