A Western Islamic Renaissance?
Are we seeing the rise of an Islamic arts movement in the West? I hope so!!!!!
After thinking about the state of affairs in our Western umma, there’s definitely a need for the creative folks to get in positions of power and take over. As the years pass and Muslims deal with the challenges of being Muslim in post 9-11 society, I can see us coming together as a community irrespective of class, race, and gender. It’s not going to be an easy road as we all have our own monster-sized nafs to insure that it will be difficult but that sweet day will come. It’s just a matter of getting there and being patient.
