The emergence of a new interpretation of Islam is explored, tracing its roots to pivotal events like the Rushdie affair, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Gulf War. This evolving concept became more pronounced after September 11, 2001, serving as a complex symbol that reflects both adaptability and limitations. The book delves into how this modern Islam has been shaped by historical contexts and socio-political dynamics, offering insights into its implications for identity and discourse in contemporary society.
