Re:Iqbal, Reformer or Radicalist?

I think it is really hard to come to a conclusion of whether he was a reformer or a radicalist without reachind all his works. I have a couple of them and am still in the same situation that you are. In some fo the thigns he has written it seems like politics was the last thing on his mind. He spoke more of the knowledge of God and making a spiritual connection with God before going on to anything else, very similar to the way Ghazali thought except Ghazali was at a a much greater level of spirituality. But then in other peices it seems like Iqbal wants that Islamic State. The question I have is does wanting a Islamic state really make you a radicalist? It seems like the definition of Radicalist needs to be defined clearly and not changed base on the topic we are talking about. In my opinion wanting a Islamic state really doesn’t make you a radicalist. I think he was more of a reformer who wanted to make things right and improve the conditions of society based on what he thought was right. Hope that helps to answer you question a little bit.
