The totalitarian nature of this philosophy is evident and further underlined by the line, “By accepting to live in Bondage to this Divine Law, man learns to be free,” which reminds one frighteningly of Orwell’s “Freedom is Slavery.”

It cannot be realized through liberation from external sources of restraint ... individual freedom ends where the freedom of the community begins. ... Human rights exist only in relation to human obligations.... Those individuals who do not accept these obligations have no rights.... Much of Muslim theology tends toward a totalitarian voluntarism.
