Mouhanad Khorchide, head of the Center for Islamic Theology at the University of Münster, writes:

Islam, as it is presented to most Muslims as well as non-Muslims today and as it is practiced by many believers, is a manipulated version of this religion. We are confronted with a manipulation that goes back to the Muslims themselves and whose roots go deep into the early history of Islam shortly after the death of Muhammad.

The main intention of Islam, however, was to free people from their status as externally determined objects and to offer them the way to self-determined subjects.

However, the political power struggles led to a reversal movement shortly after the death of Muhammad. Again man became the object of submission, again he was forced to unconditional obedience to despotic rulers.

Today we can speak of a culture of submission. And this culture of submission, which has persisted to our present day, no longer needs authoritarian rulers to sustain itself; their power mechanisms have long since taken on a life of their own.

This manipulated Islam suggests to the believers that they are not in a position to take their religiosity into their own hands, rather they are dependent on scholars who explain Islam to them and tell them what they must and what they are not allowed to do.
