, 14:03, June 22, 2008Islam is a religion, not a civilisation
I gather from Tonybee that Islam is a [[civilization]] based on [[Muslim]] religion, just as [[Western Civilization]] is based on [[Christian]] religion. As you probably know, Toynbee studied 22 civilizations and found a religious basis for most of them. But he felt that a civilization was more than its underlying religion. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:43, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

:Islam is a religion, not a civilisation. Muslims are those who follow the Islamic religion. I think what Bugler was trying to say is that just because a county has a dominant Muslim/Islamic population it is not necessarily Islamic in that its government and legal system may be secular.
