I see it as the antithesis of Islam. Islam is rigid to the max. Postmodernism is anything goes - it’s about denying reality logic, cause and effect, truth, deconstructing (destroying) everything, relativism. It’s the ultimate nihilism.

That, in itself, is orthodoxy and, thereby, the similarity to Islam. At its core, post-modernism enlists the all-powerful state, just as Islam IS the state. Read Antonio Gramschi.

You have a strange definition of orthodoxy... Orthodoxy is the strict application of an ideology, ANY ideology.

And I’ve already read Gramsci.
