yeah i think we should apply a little husnal dhann for people in this time of fitnah and turmoil. Its not easy trying to do something politically beneficial to the ummah and no matter what option you choose there are issues and difficulties that go with them so I think we need to cut everyone some slack and be productive rather than just attack anyone trying to do something. We need to be coming up with viable solutions if we dont like other peoples solutions. Im sure the ikhwan are applying a gradual approach as they dont want the west to put up hurdles for them and if they come out and say everything they wish to do the west will probabily put some serious pressure on them and maybe even remove them for secularists which is the wroser of two evils. THe issue of gradualism does need to be looked at but its like when a crack addict takes shahada. Islam has to pick up the pieces but its not goign to be smooth sailing. Islam is picking up the pieces that the west brought to the muslim lands but the muslim lands are in a real mess. Did the prophet salallahu alayhi wassalam not say that if if it werent for the people be would take the ka'ba apart and reconstruct it cube shaped? Surely tehre is an arguement that if they simply ban tourism and it could cause the people to revolt and support secularism then there is an arguement for building alternative economies first and then slowly increasing teh pressure on the tourism industry in stages like the alcohol ban in the qur'an was also in stages
