No one can doubt that Muslim cultures and Muslim populations are
under intense scrutiny in the west and worldwide. Moreover, queer
politics has been increasingly drawn into this contemporary
Islamophobia. This book presents a detailed interdisciplinary study
of the issues surrounding homosexuality and Muslim cultures,
drawing on sociological theories of modernity and modernization,
evidence of Muslim homo-eroticism in historical and contemporary
context, and contemporary political ideas of queer politics,
multiculturalism and international development. The book presents
an original theoretical framework that describes the ways in which
both queer and Muslim politics are caught up in a process of
triangulation that asserts the superiority of western civilization.
Using an intersectional framework, it also begins to map a way out
of this oppositional understanding of homosexuality and Islam, both
by drawing on the evidence of the complexity of lived experience
for Queer Muslims and by challenging the euro-centric conceits of
queer political and social theory.
