Tags: drafts

• Jihad/security studies tends to fetishize doctrine
  • we take these orientialist views because we view these things as foriegn
  • these people adopt a different universalism, therefore we view it from first principals rather than viewing as a social element
  • why do we adopt a sociological view of ourselves but doctrine based of others?
• is fiqh the correct mode of analysis? can everything be read through fiqh?
• islamic financing
  • we should look at the social elements of it
  • less studied because of relatively curious nature of it
• Talal asad
• UN peacekeeping fetishization on rote practice of human rights and protection of civilians without teaching it

What is doctrine? What are the correct universalities? Is there a universality?
