As a means of a more perfect realisation of the discriminatory normativity of Shari'ah, maslaha always violates universal human rights, free speech, secular values, and the equality of men and women. Insofar there is no difference between Muhammad Abduh and the Muslim Brotherhood concerning maslaha. The two fundamentalists Abduh and Sayyid Qutb shared one quran, one shariah, one maslaha and knew their religion very well. The term ironically in the article should be replaced with consequently. 79.251.112.232 (talk) 14:49, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The term "irconically" sounds too much biased to my ears (Abduh = good. Muslim Brotherhood = bad). and it denotes a fundamental difference between muslim brothers and modernists that doesn't exist. both were anti-colonial movements. modernists like al-Afghani or Abduh actually influenced the muslim brothers in many ways. of course the muslim brothers, at least in the past, where more radical and less liberal. but they use "maslahah" very much in the same way as the islamic modernists did: for reconciling sharia with modern values. social justice is a good example for this, cause it's originally a western concept. )the muslim brothers would of course deny this fact and claim it to be originally islamic.) but they use "maslahah" as way to "islamise" this concept, thus reconciling sharia with modern values.
