Islam is an ideology with a comprehensive view of existence, society, and history rather than a collection of edicts and rules of conduct on social, political, and economic matters.Fundamentalists interpret the edicts, precepts, and temporal rules as unchangeable dogma. The PMOI believes neither the Quran nor Islam supports the claim that they are unalterable and must always be implemented. Rather the Quran emphasizes that social and economic edicts must be formulated in each era to prevent decadent, anti-counter-revolutionary forces from halting the advancement of human society.
