Episode 313
with Cemil Aydın
hosted by Chris Gratien and Abdul Latif
In political discourses today, the “Muslim world” is evoked in a variety of contexts, ranging from pan-Islamic visions of political unity to a set of racist generalizations that present roughly a fifth of the world’s population as a monolithic whole. But as our guest in this episode, Cemil Aydın explains in his new book The Idea of the Muslim World, the very notion of a Muslim world is recent and requires historicization. In this episode, we explore the imagining of the Muslim World as a concept, tracing its early origins in the history of colonialism and the late Ottoman Empire and considering its transformation over the past century. We also discuss alternate geopolitical imaginaries and reflect on the implications of the racialization of Muslims.

In contrast, between 1980 and 1991, of the world’s 37 Muslim-majority countries only 2 were democratic.[3] By 2005, of the undemocratic regimes across the globe, Muslim countries constituted a total of 55 percent.[4] This absence of democracy in the ‘Muslim world’ has generated many explanations. Following the third wave, Huntington wrote: ‘…it is hard to identify any Islamic leader who made a reputation as an advocate ….of democracy while in office.
