I believe that in history of the world, there has not been a more genuinely democratic struggle for freedom than ours… But it is my conviction that inasmuch as these struggles were fought with the weapon of violence they failed to realize the democratic ideal. In the democracy which I have envisaged, a democracy established by non-violence, there will be equal freedom for all. Everybody will be his own master. It is to join struggle for such democracy that I invite you today. Once you realize this you will forget the differences between the Hindus and Muslims, and think of yourselves as Indians only, engaged in the common struggle for independence.

In the beginning of the dialogue, I believed that the teachings of Maududi and Qutb were the most beneficial in promoting a moral society and eliminating abuses of freedom. By living out these Islamic teachers’ beliefs, people would try more to balance the presence of good and evil. In addition, these teachings stressed meeting the material needs of all and freeing people from negative influences. Ty believed that Maududi and Qutb had formed a sort of hatred for the West and were generalizing the culture because they saw it as being immoral and an abuse of freedom. Also, he believed that they were promoting a type of dictatorship because they wanted decisions of the government to be made under divine law and saw Islam as a form of democracy to do that. I disagreed with Ty regarding this statement because if people looked to the West for an example of democracy, they would see that the disregarding the rules of God leads to a lack of concern for others and living only for the benefit of oneself.

The prophet Muhammad and Islam, brought about an age of unification for the people of the Arabian Peninsula. The initial response to Muhammad and his teachings were slow, but saw religion replacing kinship as the basis of a collective identity, however, he was a charismatic peacemaker who preached the divine revelations of the one true God – Allah, these would later become part of the Qur’an. Muhammad became a leader in Medina, and his followers became known as the Ummah (a single community of believers which transcends place). The Muslim people saw Muhammad not as a ‘divine figure’ but as the ‘perfect man’, he had so completely given himself to his divine revelations that he influenced Muslim society so fully that it enabled his people to live in harmony (Armstrong 2002, p.24).
