dogma can only be thoroughly understood from a perspective OUTSIDE the
dogmatic system

you need to project a viewpoint from OUTSIDE the system and look AT
the dogmatic system

any body of dogma is merely a system of laws (or rules) that is
self-consistent within the dogmatic system. In other words there is no
one-to-one correspondence or one-to-one mapping.

At the most fundamental level, THE MAP is not the TERRITORY. or

IT IS ONLY A GUIDE or MODEL of the UNIVERSE

questioning the dogmatic axioms are PROHIBITED (haram) from within the
system as the axioms provide order and structure in a universe with an
appearance of randomnesss and entropy

as such, the GUIDE will be SILENT on many issues because it consists
of a finite number of elements WHERE ELSE the UNIVERSE is INFINITE

this is a useful tool for examining any body of dogma, ISLAM, Roman
Catholic Church, Fascism. whatever
