Destiny Disrupted
Question 1
By the late 1960s and mid 1970s occasions all through a great part of the Muslim
world fortified a feeling of the disappointment of numerous cutting edge Muslim states and
social orders. The Israeli defeat of the consolidated Arab powers of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan
in the 1967 Six-Day War, joined by the enormous Arab loss of domain (Sinai, Gaza, the West
Bank, and Jerusalem), was obliterating. The two secularists and Islamists reeled from the stun
and clear articulate ineptitude of the Arab-Muslim world in what came to be classified "the
disaster." Fought for the sake of Arab patriotism and communism, the tragic destruction
ruined Arab patriotism, excited interests against Israel and American neoimperialism (given
America's conspicuous job in the production of Israel and its considerable help during the
1967 war), and filled in as an essential impetus for an Islamic resurgence (Esposito, 2000).
Question 2
Protestant Reformers defied the Church and the pope, however in Islam, there was no
congregation or pope to oppose. In the West, the religious reformers who broke the authority
of the Catholic Church did not do as such to raise up some solid new church however to
engage the person. Such a journey not the slightest bit set him or her against Christianity
itself, since Christianity was characteristically about the individual: an arrangement for the
salvation of every individual. Islam, in any case, was an arrangement for how a network
should function; any change development that looked to verify for every individual the
privilege to rehearse the religion as the individual idea best would characteristically go facing
the center tenets of Islam itself (Ansary, 2009).
Question 3
The tenets who continued the teachings of Wahhab are known as Wahhabism.
Question 4
Common innovation is the job of religion in the public eye. Mainstream innovation
flooded up all through the Muslim world during the 1920s, one society after another falling
under the influence of this new political ideology. The creator says that he will call it
mainstream innovation, despite the fact that the term is insufficient, in light of the fact that
common pioneer patriot statist-developmentalist is excessively bulky and still, at the end of
the day does not cover the whole development (Ansary, Rise of Secular Modernists, 2009).

Question 5
A term related with Muslim religious intelligent people who have appropriated
present day Western point of view and tried to change Islamic foundations of learning, law,
and governmental issues in the light of Western thoughts and qualities. The pioneer pattern
thrived in numerous pieces of the Muslim world in the prime of imperialism, between the
1860s and World War I. Its defenders contended for the similarity of Islam with Western
ideas of (instrumental) sanity, science, and advance, and pushed constitutionalism and ladies'
rights. Over the span of the twentieth century, Islamic innovation offered approach to either
of the two patterns it had initially endeavored to connect: secularized innovation, most
prominently of the patriot type, and the fundamentalist Salafiyya. Reflecting changes in
thoughts of advancement in the West, later innovator masterminds set forth Islamic ideas of
majority rules system, uniformity, and common freedoms. The effect of Islamic innovation
was commonly kept to social elites, however sometimes it brought forth political and
socioreligious developments.
Question 6
The three methodologies were Industry, Constitutions and Nationalism. Out of these
three, the Industry was presumably was most conspicuous one in light of the fact that the
enchantments of which influenced all aspects of the world. In Europe, the Industrial
Revolution left an extraordinary whirlwind of creations straddling the start with the steam
motor. Regularly, we talk about extraordinary innovations as though they put forth their very
own defense just by existing, however truth be told, individuals don't begin building and
utilizing a gadget essentially on the grounds that it is sharp. The innovative leap forward
spoken to by a creation is just a single fixing in its prosperity. The social setting is the thing
that truly decides if it will "take." Muslim creators did not consider utilizing steam capacity to
make gadgets that would mass-produce purchaser products, since they lived in a general
public officially flooding with a wealth of customer merchandise, high quality by a great
many craftsmans and conveyed by proficient exchange systems (Ansary, Destiny Disrupted).
