In this in-depth response to Brother Evan’s questions, Shahid Bolsen tackles misconceptions about the UAE, its historical and geopolitical realities, and the role of governance in shaping Islamic societies. He clarifies how economic strategy, colonial history, and religious governance intersect in the UAE, addressing concerns about moral decay, Western influence, and the broader question of how Muslims should engage with state policies.
🔹 Is the UAE truly eroding Islamic values, or is there a deeper context?
🔹 How should Muslims react when governments tolerate immoral practices?
🔹 What role do scholars, public sentiment, and economic power play in shaping policy?
This discussion challenges mainstream narratives and provides a nuanced perspective on governance, morality, and the long-term strategy for Islamic resilience.
