The scholarly study of Islam has become ever more insular and
apologetic. Academic Islamic Studies has tried to maintain a focus
on truth, authenticity, experience and meaning and has effectively
avoided discussion of larger social, cultural and ideological
issues. Many scholars of Islam have presented themselves to their
colleagues, the media and the public as the interpreters of Islam
and have done so with an interpretation which tends, almost
universally, to the liberal and egalitarian. The ignorance and
hostility which the Islamic faith has faced since 9/11 has partly
necessitated the taking of such a position. But, as Theorizing
Islam argues, the issue remains that only one interpretation of
Islam is generally being presented and, as with any interpretation,
this has its own assumptions. The aim of Theorizing Islam is to
explore the potential for a fuller, more honest and more
sophisticated approach to both theory and methodology in the
academic study of Islam.
