"project of independent philosophical inquiry" seems to now have a blasphemous sentiment, even I feel uncomfortable discussing concepts that support Islam. The only reason Islam is grilled and atheism is praised is due to the high level of academics hyping up the atheism whereas Islamic figures step away from philosophy since it's considered haram to even discuss it and rather spend time doing takfeer and copying things word for word from anyone who will take them at the local mosque.Islamic philosophy is a branch of Islamic studies on the Quran. It is the continuous search for Hikma (Arabic: حكمة), meaning wisdom, in the light of the Islamic view of life, the universe, ethics, society, and so on. Islamic philosophy, understood as a "project of independent philosophical inquiry" began in Baghdad in the middle of the 8th century
Then people wonder why you have some Muslims denouncing their religion to feel more intellectually superior and separate themselves from the "dogma" taught to them by the local mosque.
