Looking to the future is something that is natural for any human being. Those who take themselves as authorities upon describing what they predict the future, do so in the current framework of a neo-liberal, democratic world. The ideas of how technology, consumer trends and human behaviour will change the world are nearly always premised upon the idea that the political, economic and social basis of the world will not shift from this axis.
This psyche has affected those who look to the future of the Muslim world, in their minds the underdeveloped Muslim world will eventually catch up to the developed Western world.
This approach is flawed in so much as it is premised on the idea that the Western world is something that needs to be duplicated. Often blinded by the mirage of the technological and economic superiority of the Western world, the flaws and fragilities of the status quo are overlooked.
The Islamic Future is premised on the conviction that, Islam and only Islam can rescue humanity from the exploitative, aggressive and colonialist reality of Capitalism.
