Abstract
Islamic ideas have, for a long time, been de-historicized, decontextualized and approached as if developed in isolation from broader intellectual and political debates or as if only developed in a reactive relationship with other traditions of thought, including colonialism—a problem that has been pointed out repeatedly. Indeed, a growing scholarship is resisting the politically problematic accounts that centralize canonical Islam in their analysis as the primary reference and thus marginalize any critical Islamic voices as somewhat less Islamic (Al-Rasheed, 2015). One of the repeating errors contributing to this failure is where we locate the critique in Islam.
