The key question activists have to confront

If you're involved in politics or involved in any sort of social movement for change in the society and so on, you have to make a decision at some point about where you stand and what your position is with regards to the question of do the ends justify the means. You you're gonna have to confront that question at some point, and you're gonna have a few different options with regards to what your position is. Either you take the position of, say, a Malcolm x where you say that you can pursue social change and improvement and moral outcomes and moral goals by any means necessary because you will have the idea that any, strategy, any tactics that achieve moral objectives are by definition moral in and of themselves because they achieve a moral end. Or you can say, if the methods are immoral, you cannot pursue them because Allah will not reward morally ambiguous methods. And therefore, you're never going to achieve a moral end by utilizing morally ambiguous means.

Or you will take the position that I can pursue moral ends with exclusively moral means even if those means are not effective and futile and will not work, hoping that Allah will reward you and will facilitate through divine intervention the achievement of ends even if the means are unrealistic but moral. Or you have to take the position that I'm only willing to engage in moral tactics and moral methods to pursue moral ends, and no moral methods or moral tactics are actually available that are realistic and that can feasibly achieve those ends. And therefore, I'm in a situation where there is nothing that can be done. This is a question that you have to ask yourself, and you have to decide what your position is.
