Salam Alaykum,
A question I wish to discuss and eventually place on my site Insha Allah:
In many discussions, it is mentioned that when we Muslims emphasize the ‘reality’ in our discussions with non-Muslims, we are showing a total disdain for different minds to perceive things in different ways. As an explanation, what we are pushing through in any discussion is a ‘Mantiq-based reality’, yet there is a difference between different people perceiving the reality, in that some may want to emphasize the ‘reality’ (objectivity), but others wish to emphasize the ‘perception’ (subjectivity) - the objection then is, why should eternal salvation or damnation be tied to (objective) "reality"?
Wa Salam.

Peoples' subjective perceptions of reality is the very reason to shift discussions to an objective level as only then can you transcend individual biases, experiences and limitations and not only analyse reality from a more panoramic and therefore accurate perspective but also avoid having to manage conflicting standards. From my rudimentary knowledge of logic, discussion can only be had when premises have been established and I don't see how this can be attained without objectivity.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't tackle subjective perceptions, just that truth and falsehood needs to be determined at an objective level.
