“The problem became more acute over time, especially with modernity: modern life produced many new areas of human activity and knowledge, whereas Islamic jurisprudence kept offering the same old rules that were now too archaic or too inadequate. The ethical rules humanity developed for these new areas were “un-Islamic,” so they were unaccepted. The result was ethics-free zones in which one could surf at will.” — Mustafa Akyol
