U. S. Catholic claims to have a million viewers, and those who don’t brand their bird bars are receiving a bracing dose of leftist faith, as the newspaper happily claims:” U. S. Catholic places faith in the context of everyday existence, with a strong emphasis on social justice. U.S. Catholic  has been a valiant, forward-thinking forum for discussion among a wide range of voices since 1935. Hey, if there’s anything we need, it’s more people who are willing to be beautiful and daring, and U.S. Catholic is happy to oblige with a new content about how much we can understand from Islam, the faith that liberals of all faiths seem to love most.

A practicing Muslim named Zeyneb Saylgan asserts in” What Catholics can understand from Islam about the pursuit of happiness” that” Islam teaches that it is a spiritual obligation to foster people relationships.” She states to us that while loneliness may be good, we are social animals who genuinely need one another, as the Muslim researcher Bediüzzaman Said Nursi put it.
Although everything is good, why the best dogs at U.S. Catholic, in their knowledge, decided that they needed to go beyond the Roman Catholic tradition and indeed the Christian custom as a whole to locate someone who would tell their readers that it’s not smart to be alone all the time? The answer is that they didn’t, as a number of Roman Catholic philosophers, as well as scholars from other Christian beliefs, and others as well, could have been found who would have said essentially the same thing.
In order to show how many Muslims and Roman Catholics have in common, and to illustrate how they should treat one another with love and kindness rather than fear, U.S. Catholic features it all as coming from a Muslim and the Muslim tradition in the heart of awareness. Zeyneb Saylgan insists in due course that both Islam and Catholicism agree on the need for human scholarship:

The importance of human relationship and the sacredness of social life are both stressed in Catholic traditions. We find common values around kindness, social meals, religious gatherings, and service to others in both Islam and Catholicism, as well as in countless other world religions. In a more fractured world, these are not only social customs; they are also means of finding happiness and healing.
She stresses, however, that her own prophet is the go-to man for immediately heroin about everything:” In these difficult times, the teachings of Prophet Muhammad provide valuable lessons on fostering area and pleasure in daily life that transcend spiritual boundaries. He provides a potent model for fostering trust, interaction with others, and belonging. Because so many traditions share this sacred inclination toward unity, His teachings on connection, compassion, and community can be ingrained in people of all faiths, including Catholics. I try to use several tools from my spiritual toolbox to cultivate healthy human connections, which she then goes on to explain in detail. I am inspired by Prophet Muhammad’s teachings.

There is another issue with all of this, aside from Muhammad’s well-known need for violence and numerous calls for the subjugation of Christians and other non-Muslims, which in themselves call into question Saylgan’s assertions and the wisdom of U.S. Catholics in publishing them. Another wonderful example of Roman Catholic outreach to Muslims is presented in Saylgan’s article, which is likely to be quickly received by U.S. Catholic’s editors and readers. However, it won’t be. Have you ever read an article about the pursuit of happiness that a Muslim publication might have written? No, and you’ll never be. Muslim-Christian dialogue serves only as a means of proselytizing and converting non-Muslims to Islam, according to Muslims.
The famous Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb, who argued in the twentieth century that” the chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is not built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with one another, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam,” was a clear statement.
Is that quote familiar to U.S. Catholics? Have its editors considered its implications? The answer to both of these questions is almost certainly not. And it is.
