What is forgotten is there are individuals within the Islamic community that promote what is actually taught by the religion. I sort of knew there was an enviornmental component but have really seen nothing written about it. I only hope it is talked about and taught within the Mosques as with a large population of people that practice Islam they can make the world a better and cleaner place to live.

Syed Hossein Nasr is a Muslim philosopher situated in the US. In 1966 he gave a somewhat famous series of lectures at University of Chicago called "The Encounter of Man and Nature" where he stated that the degradation of environment reflects the spiritual crisis of our age. He blames the mechanistic world view that came out of the renaissance for this problem. For this reason he has been criticized by some Muslim writers also. However almost all references to modern Islamic discourse of the environment can be traced back to Nasr. He was also a student of the famous orientalist Frithjof Schuon. Thanks for stopping by.

This is indeed pretty sad given that Muslims like Syed Hossein Nasr were writing about environmental issues back in the early 60s.
