[Translated from GegenStandpunkt: Politische Vierteljahreszeitschrift 1-94, Gegenstandpunkt Verlag, Munich]

In today's modernity, Islam is principally subverted in the same mold by introducing “beneficial cognitive diversity” into that original singular formulation of “straight-path”. The sophistication of its subversion however that is evidently running circles around the Muslim minds today, relies in its employment of complex political theory called Hegelian Dialectic.
