10-Reasons I’m grateful I never studied al-Islām in any Muslim-Country

1. Most of these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, teach al-Islām via a Minhāj (Mindset/Mindset) which isn’t pragmatic for the Modern-World.

2. A lot of what’s learned by so-called “Students-Of-Knowledge”, via these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countties, aren’t even applicable external of the Context of the Existence of al-Khilāfah (Islāmic-Governance) which the World hasn’t known since 1922, CE.

3. Most “Islāmic-Insitutions”, via Muslim-Countries, pontificate and promote Religio-Ethnocentric Supremacy (especially upon their Student-Bodies foreign to their Regions of the World).

4. Most “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, pontificate and promote Religio-Political Agendas.

5. Most “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, pontificate and promote Herd-Mentality which is convenient for Muslim-Governments to maintain Power&Authority via Totalitarianism (under the Pseudo-Auspicies of “Obey the Muslim-Ruler” Mythos).

6. Most “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, teach Concepts and Interpretations which’re Centuries-Old Recycled-Arguments (in order to keep Practical Islāmic-Knowledge Out-Of-Reach). Of course, this is done to keep People blinded and gullible as per the Corruption which ironically exists via Muslim-Countries themselves.

7. All of this so-called “Islāmic-Knowledge”, via Muslim-Countries, has been proven to be completely ineffective while remaining in the Hands of Religio-Academic Gatekeepers beholdened to Oppressive Muslim-Governments.

8. As per the so-called “Quality” of these “Students/Graduates” of these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries: I know for a Fact that I’ve benefitted my Society (as a Muslim) more than most of them and am probably more Islāmically-Knowledgeable than a lot of them overall (in spite of the Fact that I’ve never studied al-Islām external of the Land of my Birth).

9. The Curricula/Curriculums which most of these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, contain Centuries-Old Recycled-Info. which one can easily attain independently on their own and by themselves without having to waste Time&Monies traveling to Muslim-Countries to “seek Knowledge”.

10. My Character forbids me from being a Participant in Religio-Academic Feudalism. Meaning, I refuse to co-sign Religio-Academic Gatekeeping via Religio-Elitism. And that’s precisely what “Student-Of-Knowledge” Culture actually is, by default/definition.

  1. Weak superficial post comprised of cheap bullet points which aren’t explained or fleshed out at all. Just one line claims; basically a lazy hit and run. And the point seems to be justifying not really studying and distancing gullible people from the scholars. What’s presented as an alternative ?
    1. Most of these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, teach al-Islām via a Minhāj (Mindset/Mindset) which isn’t pragmatic for the Modern-World.

    Absurd claim. Is aqeedah, tafseer and fiqh not pragmatic for the modern world?

    2. A lot of what’s learned by so-called “Students-Of-Knowledge”, via these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countties, aren’t even applicable external of the Context of the Existence of al-Khilāfah (Islāmic-Governance) which the World hasn’t known since 1922, CE.

    False. How does aqeedah, tafseer or fiqh only apply if there’s a khaleefah?

    3. Most “Islāmic-Insitutions”, via Muslim-Countries, pontificate and promote Religio-Ethnocentric Supremacy (especially upon their Student-Bodies foreign to their Regions of the World).

    That’s a claim. Show us an example or don’t make the claim.

    4. Most “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, pontificate and promote Religio-Political Agendas.

    See above.
    “Most”.

    5. Most “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, pontificate and promote Herd-Mentality which is convenient for Muslim-Governments to maintain Power&Authority via Totalitarianism (under the Pseudo-Auspicies of “Obey the Muslim-Ruler” Mythos).

    Obeying the ruler isn’t a mythos. What about all of the ahadeeth which teach that?

    6. Most “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, teach Concepts and Interpretations which’re Centuries-Old Recycled-Arguments (in order to keep Practical Islāmic-Knowledge Out-Of-Reach). Of course, this is done to keep People blinded and gullible as per the Corruption which ironically exists via Muslim-Countries themselves.

    Classical texts don’t become obsolete. Why would a new tafseer be better than an old one? The reverse is true. That’s why ALL scholars are trained in classical books.

    7. All of this so-called “Islāmic-Knowledge”, via Muslim-Countries, has been proven to be completely ineffective while remaining in the Hands of Religio-Academic Gatekeepers beholdened to Oppressive Muslim-Governments.

    The most absurd claim yet. ALL Islamic knowledge has been “proven’ to be “ineffective”? What does that even mean? How is aqeedah, tasfseer, fiqh, or Arabic language somehow ineffective for teaching us how to practice our religion? And what do you have instead? This blog where you just rant and curse about all the things you’re personally mad at?

    8. As per the so-called “Quality” of these “Students/Graduates” of these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries: I know for a Fact that I’ve benefitted my Society (as a Muslim) more than most of them and am probably more Islāmically-Knowledgeable than a lot of them overall (in spite of the Fact that I’ve never studied al-Islām external of the Land of my Birth).

    Very arrogant claim. Humble yourself a little.

    9. The Curricula/Curriculums which most of these “Islāmic-Institutions”, via Muslim-Countries, contain Centuries-Old Recycled-Info. which one can easily attain independently on their own and by themselves without having to waste Time&Monies traveling to Muslim-Countries to “seek Knowledge”.

    This is just the same claim as point no 6 reworded.

    10. My Character forbids me from being a Participant in Religio-Academic Feudalism. Meaning, I refuse to co-sign Religio-Academic Gatekeeping via Religio-Elitism. And that’s precisely what “Student-Of-Knowledge” Culture actually is, by default/definition.

    Your character doesn’t forbid you from the foulness which is this blog, so it carries very little weight.

    This was just more self-important drivel, written in your characteristically unreadable style full of chaotic syntax, to not only justify not learning or respecting the scholars, but to also encourage others to follow the same undisciplined DIY path. No, you can’t really get far teaching yourself, and you’re a perfect example of why not.

    This mentality appeals to the young generation’s irreverent, individualistic temperament. But it just doesn’t work.

    1. Go suck a Dick: Hoe-Ass-Nigga.

      1. Beautiful akhlaq . You’re a shining example. So mad at how everybody else is living you have a whole blog devoted to it and how you have a problem with everybody, but this is who you are.

        1. You literally haven’t “proven” anything.

      2. You probably qualify for free help with your personality disorder. Take advantage of the perks of your job .

        1. You’re literally projecting everything whuch is Wrong with your own Personal-Life.

      3. It is amazing how fast the intellectual act dropped and the gutter talk started the second your logic was questioned. You write these long lists about having superior character, yet you fold immediately when you actually have to defend your ideas. You are using that aggressive “outlaw” persona to hide the fact that you have no real answers for the points I made.
        Saying my response somehow proves your point is a weak way to stay undefeated in your own head. You are just trying to avoid admitting you lost your cool and have no rebuttal. Linking your modeling portfolio and your own website bio is a desperate attempt to flex authority you haven’t earned in this conversation.
        You claim to be glad you aren’t part of the “Student of Knowledge” culture, but then you brag in point eight about being more knowledgeable than people who actually put in the work. You want the status of a scholar without any of the discipline or accountability that comes with it. You use your blog to demand respect as a teacher, but your character is just a thin veneer that disappears as soon as someone stops feeding your ego. You are just a guy with a blog who has a meltdown whenever he loses an argument

        1. What’s actually your Point?!!!

          #Precisely: you have no Point.

          Ironically, you’ve said a Lot-Of-Nothing.
          And, you still can’t “disprove” anything I’ve stated.

          1. That’s what you always do. You don’t engage with a single point, and just act like a child repeating “you said a lot of nothing”, or “Lot-Of-Nothing” in Gareth-speak.

            For all your macho bravado, you actually argue like a woman.

          2. That’s the “Best-Insult” you’ve actually got?!!! You’re a Bitch via Real-Life.

          3. Notice that this is a copy and paste template of every time you argue with anybody. It sounds exactly the same.

            It isn’t just with me.

            is it just a coincidence, an everybody else problem, or a you problem?

            Any time anyone criticizes you or anything you’ve written, you immediately just curse them out, and then claim they’re lying and repeat “so what’s your point? You have no point. You’ve said a whole lot of nothing”.

            It’s just a trick of yours, but you trick nobody but yourself. Any outside observer can see how you argue like an unsophisticated adolescent who hasn’t yet learned how to engage with the subject.

            Saying ‘you have no point” doesn’t make it so. Nor do all of your hashtags.

            it makes you look like you’re 12.

          4. You’ve literally proven you have no Point.

          5. I made a point after every one of the 10 claims you numbered. If you want to engage with them, they’re there.

            Just saying I have no point and going back to your usual “you have no point. You proved my point. Everything you said is a lie. I’m so smart. You’re jealous” etc. does not in any way even deal with a single point I made, much less refute them.

            Is that what you’d do in a live debate? Refuse to engage with a single piece of content and instead just say something sophomoric like your first reply, which i won’t even repeat because it’s just foul language, and then just keep repeating that your opponent has no point?

            That doesn’t actually win anything.

          6. No…you literally haven’t “proven” anything.

    2. Ironically, your Weak-Ass-Response has literally proven my Entire-Point.

    3. My `Ulūm/Islāmic-Learning is Public-Information. So, you literally haven’t even “proven” whatever “Point” you thought you had.

      https://www.gbwrites.com/about-gareth-bryant/

    4. Not only are you an Idiot, you’re equally a Liar as well. Everything I’ve stated, ironically, has been detailed directly via Prior-Articles of mine.

      https://www.gbwrites.com/religiofeudalism/

      https://gbwrites.com/gbreligioacademicoutlaw/

      1. Yeah you rambled and babbled more than once . So what? I’m lying about what ?

        1. Everything you stated is a Lie.

          1. Name a single lie.

          2. I only have to mention 1-Lie:

            You literally lied via claiming that I’m “Self-Taught”.

            https://gbwrites.com/about-gareth-bryant/

      2. “I have written many words, therefore I am right.” This is a way to avoid the vulnerability of a real-time debate where you would lose.

        1. (Ironically) neither you, nor anyone you think, has been proven “Capable” to “refute” any of my Religio-Writings.

          1. All you do is make claims which you don’t back up.

            And then you beat your chest as the undefeated champion.

            It’s sad.

            You’re a case study.

          2. Again…you know that you
            can’t refute anything which I
            write.

    5. Most of these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” only “study” al-`Aqīdah/Islāmic-Theology, as a Pseudo-Justification to impose Unjust-Takfīr against Fellow-Muslims. You’ve proven my Entire-Point: Again

      https://gbwrites.com/takfircultureisevilandcursed/

    6. Most of these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” don’t even “study” at-Tafsīr. So, ironically, you’ve literally proven my Point: Again

      1. Nonsensical claim.

        1. “Refute” it then…#IllWait

          1. I refute it by pointing you to the curriculum of all Islamic universities. Your claim that most people who studied islam in universities didn’t study tafsir is disproven by that alone.

          2. It’s literally a Fact, that most of these so-called “Students-Of-Knowledge” haven’t “studied” at-Tafsīr (Qur’ānic-Commentary).

          3. Ehere’ve you “studied”?!!!

            Nowhere

            Who’ve you “studied” with?!!!

            No one

    7. Most of these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” don’t “study” al-Fiqh (Juridicial-Analysis), they merely Dick-Ride Madhāhib (Religio-Opinions) of Muslim-Scholars. So, you’ve proven my Point: Again

      https://gbwrites.com/revelationvsscholars/

      1. Another nonsensical claim. They don’t study fiqh. How could anyone graduate from an Islamic university without studying fiqh. That can be disproven by taking a single glance at the curriculum and what’s required to graduate.

        1. Reading Fiqh-Books doesn’t equal “Studying Fiqh”. It’s a Known-Fact, that most of these so-called “Students-Of-Knowledge” merely parrot Madhāhib/Religio-Opinions and subsequently attempt to monopolize as well as manipulate Madhāhib. Again, ironically, you’ve proven my Entite-Point directly.

          1. Tell me what constitutes studying fiqh.

          2. Are you next going to claim to be a mujtahid?

          3. al-Ijtihād literally means:

            “Decision-Making”

            Individual-Ijtihād is literally done
            every single Day…what’s your Point?!!!

            https://gbwrites.com/ijtihaddecisionmaking/

  2. Too bad chaplains don’t get evaluated for personality disorders.

    I’d look into Cluster B.

    1. You’re envious, because you probably have a Job that you hate, because you’re not Intelligent enough to get a Career you want.

      1. The irony of attacking my intelligence while incorrectly capitalizing the first letters of words for no reason.

        English is your first language, and one you boast a lot about being such a talented writer in.

        Learn basic grammar and punctuation.

        1. Capitalization via English is Fluid,
          by virtue of the Nature-Of-English.

          https://share.google/aimode/0hCXdg9XBH8bG5IMy

  3. Trust me, nobody is jealous of you. Nor impressed.

    1. Your Responses literally prove your Hasad/Envy.

      1. there is literally nothing about you I’d want for myself. Saying the word hasad in Arabic doesn’t make it so.

        This is another complex of yours. “everyone is jealous of me”.

        1. Your Responses literally
          prove your Hasad/Envy.

          1. Repeating yourself doesn’t make it true.

          2. #HypocriticalIrony

            You repeat the Same-Arguments,
            without any such Evidence.

            You’re literally the proverbial:

            “Pot calling the Kettle Black.”

  4. Why are you so full of yourself ?

    You don’t even realize how ridiculous you make yourself look.

    “My uloom” who even says something like that?

    1. “`Ulūm” litetally means:

      “Learning”

      “Studying”

      “Studies”

      etc.

      So, what’s actually your Point?!!!

      #IllWait

      1. I know what the word means. I’m saying who would say something like that?

        Does anyone with knowledge brag?

        Do you really see yourself as knowledgeable?

        1. Personally, I don’t give a Fuck
          whom considers me a
          “Person-Of-Knowledge” or who doesn’t.

          https://gbwrites.com/idontcareaboutreligiotitles/

          1. You obviously do care, or else what was the point of publishing it and arguing about it?

          2. I write whateva da Fuck I wanna write about

      2. And actually uloom is the plural of ilm which means knowledge, so it has the sense of “knowledges”.

        You’re saying “my knowledges are public information”. Are you impressed with yourself? Should anybody else be?

        1. You’ve literally proven that your
          Knowledge-Of-Arabic is Zero.

          “`Ulūm (Learning/Studies)” means Degrees, Types, Kinds, Branches, etc.
          of “`Ilm/Knowledge”.

  5. “only have to mention 1-Lie:

    You literally lied via claiming that I’m “Self-Taught”.”

    You said in point .9 :
    which one can easily attain independently on their own and by themselves without having to waste Time&Monies traveling to Muslim-Countries to “seek Knowledge”.

    So you’re claiming one can be self-taught and that it’s equal to studying under scholars.

    And what I actually said was ” No, you can’t really get far teaching yourself, and you’re a perfect example of why not.”.

    I did not say you had never attended any sort of classes ever.

    1. Again…your Response proves
      that you’re a Liar&Slanderer.

      1. You claimed one can be self taught and get the same result as going to study with scholars.

        1. Easily at that, you claim.

          1. Again…You’re a Liar/Slanderer.

        2. Again…you’re a Liar/Slanderer.
          That’s not what I said.

          1. “which one can easily attain independently on their own and by themselves without having to waste Time&Monies traveling to Muslim-Countries to “seek Knowledge”.

          2. Quote it fully…that’s not all of what I stated. The Fact that you deliberately only quoted what you wanted literally proves my Entire-Point.

  6. Get psychological help, Gareth.

    Bye.
