Beskrivelse
Questions about the nature of religion, law, nation, state and the relationships between these have exploded in the faces of societies around the globe under the pressure of the massiveshifts that heralded the modern era, and the case of Islam is no exception. While the case of Islam, like every case, is certainly unique, claims to the effect that Islam's modern crisis is more
acute than others are dog whistles (or normal, human whistles) attributing violent conflict in the Muslim world to a dangerous particularity of Islam. A broader view of history makes clear that other parts of the world deal with analogous issues and, if solutions to the conflicts are to be sought, there are other factors with a far more direct and observable effect that can be addressed. The severity of modern crises in the Muslim world have more to do with Western imperialism and the global North's power to define the terms of modern transformations, while the global South is expected to quickly adjust at the expense of their own internal stability and selfsufficiency.
