Political pathplogy of Islamic civilization from the vantage point of Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Nasr believes that each civilization, Islam is no exception, must be aware of its advantages in order to proliferate and become advanced. Regarding such notion, Islam both as a religion and a civilization, is confronted with a great deal of attacks and harms both from the society and from politicians. This confrontation may endanger the nature of the relation between this religion / civilization and the dependency of the muslims on the everlasting principles of Islam. In the field of politics and ruling of the country, from a civilization-based prespective, the difficult relationship between religion and politics with the emergence of liberalism, Marxism and the empowering of political Islam and the nationalism inspired by the western culture have all led to a great deal of challenges strange to Islamic culture and society. As an external threat, through the western feminism proposed by the west, the essence of Islam is threatened and through globalization and absolutism of concepts such as freedom and human rights, along with the heightening of religiopolitical controversies, Islam is attacked politically by the western civilization.
