Islam and Islamism

from Orientalistics: Podcast on Language, Religion and Culture · host Farshid Delshad

Islam and IslamismLet's examine whether the term “Islamism” actually exists within Islamic languages such as Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, Urdu, or Pashto. It argues that “Islamism” is a Western political construct rather than an indigenous Islamic concept, functioning as a semantic tool to separate Islam from its political expressions and to appease Western discourse rather than reflect internal Islamic categories.#Islamism #politicalislam #islamiclanguages #arabic #persian #turkish #urdu #pashto #kurdish #politicaltheoryassociation #epistemology
