• W843219221 abstract "ABSTRACT.This is a critical essay looking at Islamic freedom within the ASEAN region. Almost 50% of ASEAN's population are Muslims, but this essay postulates Islamic freedom is repressed within much of this grouping. Repressed Islamic freedom if one subscribes to Florida's concepts of socially derived will have a negative effect on wisdom and innovation within the region, at a time when creative engagement with the rest of the world is necessary. Islamic repression is preventing a flexible interpretation of Islam which the author argues is necessary for ASEAN region to engage the rest of the world.Keywords: Islam; creativity; wisdom; innovation; ASEAN; religious freedomAlmost half of the 629 million people living within the ASEAN region are Muslims. Within the ten countries of ASEAN, three countries, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, and Malaysia have Muslim majorities, and the remaining seven countries host Muslim minorities, ranging from 0.1% in Vietnam to nearly 16% in Singapore. Due to the lack of any recent census data in many ASEAN countries, obtaining accurate figures of the Muslim population is extremely difficult, where estimates vary widely.In the Muslim majority states of ASEAN, Islam provides a source of political legitimacy for government and its leaders. Within the Muslim minority states, there are increasing aspirations for an Islamic society which today is expressed through the demand for Shariah (Islamic law), Madrasas (Islamic schools), Halal practices (what is permitted under Islam), and most importantly religious and cultural recognition.Centuries ago Islam promoted both an enlightened intellectual and socially progressive culture which brought many societies to the forefront of art, medicine, scientific discovery, philosophy, and creative civilization. However today we see a large proportion of the Ummah (Muslim community) living in poverty and isolated from the rest of the world community. Islam once the basis of a progressive society is now seen by many as backward and irrelevant. Most Islamic societies of today are struggling to keep pace with the rest of the world, creating a dangerously wide gap between Muslims and non-Muslims.If we subscribe to Richard Florida's concepts of socially determined creativity,1 then religious freedom would have great influence upon the level of a society's innovation, and ability to solve the problems it faces as a community in a socially and spiritually wise manner. Within the Islamic world this would hinge upon:1. The freedom to practice Islam,2. The freedom to express Islam, and3. The freedom to produce new intellectual output that will enable the evolution of a progressive Islamic society.Thus Islamic freedom is an important determinant of how a society will fare intellectually, socially, and creatively in the future to enable that society to take a rightful place within the global community.We must also assume here that the very nature of Islam itself encourages the Ummah to engage other societies as has been practiced through Islamic history by the prophets, including the Prophet Muhammad himself. Without engagement, Islam would have never come to the ASEAN region.However, the idea of social creativity and the invention of new ideas for imagination vis-a-vis Islam is a problematic area as the politicaltheological and strict fundamentalist interpretation of Islam is adverse to innovations and consider too much as dangerous and even to be rendered forbidden. We saw that resistance in Malaysia with the Sisters of Islam, advocacy of gay rights, reinterpretation of Islam from feminist writers.There is also much debate about the compatibility of Islam to concepts of democracy, usually defined in western ideological terms. Islam is basically considered as a concept opposed to the principles of democracy when Islam is viewed from through the lens of 9/11 Islamophobia. …" @default.
