In their efforts to apportion balme and channel retaliatory action
in the post September II world, scholars and pundits alike have
used a series of rhetorical techniques to great effect,
manufacturing an image of Islam, the proverbial Other, that is
highly conducive to the needs of liberal democracies but hardly a
reflection of any one of the many 'authentic' Islams. This
inevitably results in caricatures that have many uses, in portraits
of dissenting groups it tends towards demonization. In this
wide-ranging essay a scholar of religion asks the reader to
consider how the classifications we use to name and thereby
negotiate our social worlds are implicitly political and are being
wielded in the public arena to carry out generally
undisclosed/underanalyzed social work.
