Contemporary Issues in Modern Islamic Literature

We cannot support Salafist reform movement in the modern and contemporary Arab world. This movement was the mainstream and active more than any other movements in reviving and investing the heritage through a blatant ideological reading, based on the past, ignoring the ideological image of the "desired future", and then demonstrated that what had been achieved in the past can be achieved in the future. The Salafi religious movement raised the slogan of originality and adherence to the roots and the preservation of identity... The originality, roots and identity is understood as it is the Islam known by itself: (true Islam) not as the religion of Muslims (Islam). So we will not support those who make their slogan "Islam is the only solution". The distinction between (Islam) and (Heritage) to them pales largely because of ignoring the theoretical emphasizing sometimes - in the context of consideration generally -.
