Claims of religious ‘disability’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] I have recently attended two seminars about combating extremism and the revival of religious discourse in Morocco. One was held in Rabat and was organized in cooperation with the Moslem World League of Makkah and the Mohammedia League of Scholars of Morocco.
Sounds impressive. And serious. Seriously impressive, in fact.
The second seminar was held at the Assilah Forum, in its 40th season. The two events were held to review the insights and experiences from counter-extremism and reform campaigns over the last decade. Participants at the Assilah Forum were mostly professors, intellectuals and civil organizations, whereas the participants in the other seminar were mostly religious scholars.

The Rabat seminar focused on jihadist attempts to distort concepts on issues such as religion, Sharia, jihad, loyalty, innocence and the relationship between religion and the state. It also called upon religious institutions and their scholars to combat this terrifying phenomenon by reinstating correct concepts, spreading the right interpretation of texts, instituting academies to train imams and teachers for dialogue and adopting soft power in order to restore the message of peace in religion.
Peace rather than submission? But how is peace to be defined if not by submission to the Master Religion?
Meanwhile,
