Mustafa Akyol: Faith versus tradition in Islam

Journalist Mustafa Akyol talks about the way that some local cultural practices (such as wearing a headscarf) have become linked, in the popular mind, to the articles of faith of Islam. Has the world's general idea of the Islamic faith focused too much on tradition, and not enough on core beliefs?

    • as what i know towards Islam, it is a branch of Community Service Project that serves the people, by the people and for the people...

      They are the one who lends a helping hand in time of distress.. the one who gave food to those who is starving... the one who protects for those who are weak.....

      And what Faith could give if the one who told you about God is the one who will destroy you and will disobey the Law of God?
