Muslim Speaks

<i></i><i></i><i>The Muslim Speaks</i>reimagines Islam as a strategy for investigating the modern condition. Rather than imagining it as an issue external to a discrete West Khurram Hussain constructs Islam as internal to the elaboration and expansion of the West. In doing so he reveals three discursive traps - that of 'freedom' 'reason' and 'culture' - that inhibit the availability of Islam as a feasible critical interlocutor in Western deliberations about moral intellectual and political concerns.<i><br/></i><br/>Through close examination of this inhibition Hussain posits that while Islamophobia is clearly a moral wrong 'depoliticization' more accurately describes the problems associated with the lived experience of Muslims in the West and elsewhere. Weaving together his conclusions in the hope of a common world Khurram Hussain boldy and quite radically deems that what Islam needs is not depoliticization but infact repoliticization.<i></i>
