Therefore, any project that wishes to see us smoothly into the future must begin with a thorough analysis of the past. However, history is not as simple as we once thought. The reality of inequalities and bias that plague the present condition also runs backward into our past, white-washing and leaving out certain details, even telling blatant lies. Revisionism and postmodernism further complicate the matter. In this issue, the rich and contentious history of Islam will be critically analyzed; along the way, insight will be provided into the larger human story. As various articles debunk old narratives and illuminate lost perspectives, the hope is that lessons from the past can be properly considered, so that the same blunders that have toppled civilizations are not doomed to repeat themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Critical Muslim: A quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world.
