Secular Islam!?

According to the recent news, some famous Islamic scientists, with accompanying of Cem Özdemir, the former leader of Green party of Germany from a Turkish origin, have established an organization called “Secular Islam”. Their main goal has been introduced as providing a modern interpretation of Islam.
Looking to their initiative statement, it is mentioned that “we do not want to accept the growing power of politicized Islam which is claiming as the only interpretation of Islam but is so far from democracy.
 “Secular Islam”, believes that, a contemporary "German" Islam must be established independent of foreign governments and organizations. In addition, the members of this movement reject the Islamic associations of Germany due to their non-democratic structures.
The founders of this group believe that Muslims must be positive to understand the concerns of the non-Muslim citizens, so that such efforts will help to establish a developed Islam fully compatible with human rights.
Actually from an optimistic viewpoint, each corporative action and effort to move towards peace and tolerance is highly appreciated and such assemblies which are focused to return the stability and comfort to the critical situation of German Muslim society and the rest of German citizens is a hope for the better future. Because Germany is the host country of one of the biggest immigrant societies within Europe mostly Muslims and the country has been influenced for several times by violent actions of radical Islamists during recent years. So this movement is promising an end to these dark days of rule of Islamic radicals who have mixed the religion with violence.
However, as the representative of Mr. Boroujerdi who have endeavored since forty years ago to achieve the same purpose in the Islamic society of Iran which is under the rule of political Islam. It is very important to note that this way is very difficult and definitely needs cooperation of religious and political leaders.
Due to advocating secularism and strict adherence to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and opposing the theocratic rule of religious dictators in Iran, Mr. Boroujerdi has been jailed and tortured for long years and currently is under siege in house arrest.
Basically, Mr. Boroujerdi has attempted for many years to find a secular version of Islam excluding violence and compatible with human rights, freedom and democracy. However, after extensive research and studies, ultimately he has concluded that the essence of Islam is not compatible with such values. Because the basic Islamic contexts especially Quran is containing many significant contradictions and incompatibilities which are the main cause of failure in establishing peace, comfort and promotion of human values in Islamic societies. According to Boroujerdi, who is currently well known as the founder of “Monotheism without Borders”, the only way to avoid such bottlenecks is to discard the religious fanaticism and to accept that the main purpose claimed by all religions including Islam is revelation and knowledge of God.
Nevertheless, the religions were not successful throughout the history to promote Monotheism. So God, our creator has been introduced as an insignificant idol whose rule is limited to our planet and his job has been described as ordering or dictating the religious tasks or punishing people even by stoning, execution and amputation and also deciding to send the people to paradise or hell!
Actually, since the first days in history of this religion, Islam and the Islamic contexts including its teachings, had been imposed by force and sward to other countries resulted in promotion of violent religious culture. Therefore, Islam has high potential to publicize the violence and impose its views and ideas to others.
So Boroujerdi believes that currently the separation of religion and politics is not our main demand, it means although it is necessary, but is not enough. Nowadays, first we have to analyze the religions to prove that those were never related to God, our creator. Our view towards God is so larger than what the religions have introduced.
In addition, we believe that the current politics is not based on truth and rightness. We protest against religions as well as politicians. The global policy has been continuously determined to exploit the nations. We do not have a good report or pleasing record throughout the history. So we have also gone over the politics since the global policy all times has been based on annihilation of the weak people. Anywhere that you see a class-based system, there is evil politics. It is deceptive. The right politics will be when all humans on the earth (all seven billion people) become needless, enjoy of the earth resources, become equal in access to health and treatment facilities and when there will be no poor, hungry or painful people. When there are still such issues and problems, we have to blame both religious people and politicians. We reject both of them and select a third position, which is going beyond politics and religion.

Who is Boroujerdi?

Mr. Boroujerdi, the founder of “Monotheism without Borders”, is a scientist of metaphysics who has educated and investigated for long years about Monotheism and attempted for 40 years to make the people aware about their creator and lead them to the true God. He has faced many political, social and cultural challenges and problems during his monotheistic movement. Although he has been deprived of financial support and also has been boycotted especially by the Media under control of the Islamic government of Iran, but he has stood firm after committing extensive efforts and victimizing his life.
In addition to directing vast population of defenders of peace and non-violent religion and also holding the biggest independent benediction assemblies of Monotheists for worshipping God, his greatest achievement is founding and presenting the concept of “Monotheism without Borders“ in which all Monotheists with varieties of beliefs or having different religions in addition to the ones who even never belief on God, are invited to cooperate and converge to a common movement for achieving peace and justice.
Mr. Boroujerdi has been able to analyze and review the teachings inherited from different religions and also the recent religious concepts presented in contemporary era mostly by using their own accepted references and books. He has collected the results of such research in form of new scientific doctrine called “inadaptability between religious contexts and religious records”, which shows that there is no adoptability between what the religions have presented or promised to mankind within the religious contexts and what really and practically have been recorded during the history of religions. More importantly, such ideas have not kept just as scientific and theoretic, rather those were presented in public in form of understandable and practical teachings.
Actually Mr. Boroujerdi has challenged the current religious teachings and claims, tried them and generously published the results to the seekers of the truth.
Although Mr. Boroujerdi was bearing formal cloth of clergy for 35 years and promoting the traditional religion inherited from his fathers and ancestors, but since 12 years ago and from inside the prison, he began to teach the pure Monotheism which is totally different to the Islam and the Islamic concepts inherited from 1400 years ago.
So during last 12 years, his opinions and thoughts have been completely changed and he has reviewed and purified the religious documents and contexts and made a fundamental transition in Monotheism without any borders between the believers of God. Currently he is not showing any fanaticism in Islam and Quran since his opinions and viewpoint have been changed substantially.
Nowadays during the era of fallacy and sophistry in the area of religions, the human beings are looking for common ideals beyond the geographical boundaries, as well as racial, religious, national, and cultural classifications. Basically the peace, freedom and justice are between the highest demands of the current mankind which are in conflict with the religious contexts and thoughts of the fake spiritual leaders.
Although, Mr. Boroujerdi’s new doctrine in the field of monotheism and human and social sciences is somewhat challenging, but it can be considered as a solution to save the current ambiguous human beings from the unfortunate situation which is caused by inadaptability of religious beliefs with the modern world.
He has presented varieties of views on anthropology, creation, human rights, racial justice, social freedom and ideals. So far some of these concepts have been presented at various conferences as research papers.
Due to global negligence in responding to the ambitions of the Islamic state of Iran and wrong diplomacy of appeasement with this regime, currently the religious and sectarian wars has dominated the Middle East, which is the origin of many religions. Consequently, the waves of refugees who have lost their homes and livelihoods are streaming across the world which has imposed financial, social and security costs for the host countries. Moreover, due to promotion and infiltration of the terrorists supported by the Iranian regime and other religious extremist groups such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda and their supporters, insecurity have become a shared challenge and anxiety in the world. So the only solution to overcome these crises is to pay attention to Mr. Boroujerdi’s suggestions, solutions and plans to establish solidarity between all believers of God based on Monotheism to achieve international peace and stability.
