"And by anarchist spirit I mean that deeply human
sentiment, which aims at the good of all, freedom and justice for all,
solidarity and love among the people; which is not an exclusive characteristic
only of self-declared anarchists, but inspires all people who have a generous
heart and an open mind..." Errico Malatesta The Muslim Anarchist Charter asserts that:
-
there is no
god but God and Muhammad (aws) is God’s prophet and messenger;
-
the purpose of
life is to establish a loving relationship with The One through a
hermeneutic engagement with God’s signs (ayat) in revelation, creation, and
in the human mind and heart;
-
such a purpose
requires a wholehearted commitment to learning in all its forms (including
experiential learning) where such learning is carried out reflexively with
respect to institutional governance, be it academic, cultural, judicial,
religious, social, corporate or political;
-
such a purpose
requires the active pursuit of justice and self-transformation founded on the principle of
habitus/malaka, with the aim of establishing communities and societies where
peaceful cultural evolution is uninhibited by power, greed, or ignorance;
-
such a purpose
requires an affinity with all peoples who define themselves as living within
cultures of Judeo-Christian-Islamic origin in which both commonalities and
differences are acknowledged and understood, and disagreement engenders
debate rather than division and satire but never mockery.
The Muslim Anarchist Charter rejects absolutely:
-
all forms of
violence and political coercion;
-
all forms of
racism and prejudice, including Islamophobia, homophobia and neurelitism.
