As for doctrine, no doubt doctrinal justification for either the presence or absence of church state distinctions can be found in Islam, as, of course, can be found in western religious traditions.


This is what I am trying to beat you two over the head with, John. There is no doctrinal separation of Church and State in the Koran. This is Qutb's big point in his books. How the Greeks got ahold of Christianity and put in the mind/body dichotomy. He was very much against this view. There is a doctrinal separation in Christianity. "Render unto Caesar" does it. Islam has separated the two only when the local clerics went along with it.
