Islam and philosophy are like oil and water, so I'm not sure I blame you. I studied Islam in college and even the most liberal profs were unkind to it, and rightfully so.

Also, to the genius who equates any sort of intellectual "tolerance" (read, acceptance these days) to liberalism to progress: please produce some exhibits.

It depends on what is meant by Islamic philosophy. If you are talking about medieval Avicenna and his Neoplatonism, or the rejections it by Al-Ghazali and others, or any number of early conversations in early Islam, then I disagree. I even think the philosophical underpinnings of the Islamic revival are very interesting. But it isn't really compatible with philosophy post-Cartesian modernism.
