WritingReviewsIt is a deceptively innocent, straightforward question – what is Islam? Yet, this question has invited assumptions, debates, laws, and wars that have picked up in both speed and power over the course of the last few centuries, particularly as imperialist countries saw fit to curate the world in the vision most suitable for its unchecked power.
