Appreciate the Zaytuna College movement a lot in the Anglosphere, but it ultimately set the limit of Muslim intellectual engagement towards Neo-Luddite First Things-style Catholicism - Islam has so much more potential than this.
At the time this was a much welcome contrast to mainsteam corporatized Islamoleftism and simpleton chickenshop Salafism. Since then the landscape has clearly evolved but Zaytuna and largely SHY set the Neo-Luddite megatrend and agenda that even his rivals ended up emulating.
SHY's influence in this aspect has become ubiquitous to the point that a lot of anti-modernity poasting within the Anglosphere is just his legacy but without name - true megatrend dominance.
However now comes the point to contest and overthrow this megatrend - SAIF will dictate the agenda change by forcing many to re-evaluate their Neo-Luddite first principles - this will inspire a range of emotions - it will compel reaction.
SAIF continues to attack the most sacrosanct pillars of Anglo-Islam intellectualism which has now seeped into Dawah Inc too - comfortable anti-modernism, holier than thou Neo-Ludditism and fanciful eschatologies that rationalise defeat.
