A.hasan Hanafi
The Islamic world today has been co-opted by the West, both systems, interests, structure and culture. This is the impact of colonialism and imperialism.
Islamic society has a very large dependence on the West. World The West is trying to 'hegemony' Islamic culture, including about Islam itself. The West seeks Western understanding of Islam, so that it can be accepted by the world Islam. That is the Western way to uproot the roots of Islamic history from its original source, Alquran and Hadith.
Responding to these conditions, Hasan Hanafi with his Islamic Left was very opposing Western civilization, specifically economic and cultural imperialism. Hasan Hanafi strengthened Muslims by strengthening his own tradition. Therefore, the task of the Islamic Left which is one of its progressive ideas is: First, localizing the West to its natural limits and dismissing world myths West as the center of world civilization and dismiss Western cultural ambitions for a paradigm of progress for other nations.
Second, restore Western civilization to its western boundaries. its origin, suitability to the background behind its history, so that the West is aware that there are many civilizations and many the road to the path of progress. Third, Hasan Hanafi offers a knowledge for making the West an object of study, that is, as he wrote in Muqaddimah f 'Ilm al-Istighrb (Introduction to Occidentalism). Occidentalism for Hasan Hanafi is an attempt to counter Orientalism and tear it down to the roots. To restore the image of Islam, he gave way by reforming religion, awakening rationalism and enlightenment.
