Muslim World League

MWL is a good example of religious institutional branch, and a history would not only help set up my project but give me plenty to write about at the start.  As it is based on a religion that bases all of its founding in the past.

So of course, the MWL origins and starting points is important. What is even more important after is to talk about the progression of ideas and changing of institutional norms to transform the MWL into a more progressive movement; to be less Conservative and more connective with the world outside of Islam and within.

The MWL has modern goals of being a connective force to show the more modern side of its members and states and by association.

This is common of many institutions that have had to change with the times, so it is a good positive story that I don’t think has to be insulting or insensitive to its history or its founders.

You can do it for any religious or institutional movement- most of the time, their original norms and practices would be seen as antiquated now, but if they are successful now it is most likely because they have changed with the times

Try and go with it. To me, the MWL can be seen as something that, whilst not perfect (include relevant examples of behaviour that has failed to meet its goals) is inspiring in attempting to form lines of communication with the world both outside and in of Islam. It is trying to be a progressive force of hope in the midst of a lot of political tension surrounding religion. Its nature as a dubious NGO is problematic, but what is important is to observe the behaviour- so read the book he linked (role theory in IR) It looks helpful for this.
