Bingo! Nice to see a Rand quotation on here. "What is mysticism? Mysticism is the acceptance of allegations without evidence or proof, either apart from or against the evidence of one's senses and one's reason. Mysticism is the claim to some non-sensory, non-rational, non-definable, non-identifiable means of knowledge, such as 'instinct,' 'intuition,' 'revelation,' or any form of 'just knowing.'" - Ayn Rand, Taken From "Faith and Force: The Destroyers of the Modern World" On Thu, 23 Sep 2004, Tim C wrote:
Um, because like all religions, Islam does not encourage cognition, reason, individualism, or innovation as ideals?

"The advocates of mysticism are motivated not by a quest for truth, but by hatred for man's mind." - Rand
