Amid the growing confusion, it is good to read Brother Zafar Bangash’s articles on the Islamic movement. As a long time subscriber of Crescent, they remind us of the pacesetting writings of Dr. Kalim Siddiqui. We greatly miss his clarity of thought and the direction he gave to the global Islamic movement. May Allah (Â) bless his soul.
Gaining insights from original sources is essential to break out of the confusion that has gripped Muslim thinking, especially among al-Qaeda types, in these troubled times.
