the perils of bad history

Date: May 30, 2005 | 21 Rabi al-Akhir 1426 Hijriah
Subjects: islam, history, factcheck
Juan Cole debunks some misrepresentations of Islamic history. His conclusion makes a good point:

You can't treat Muhammad as a historical figure in a vacuum or by reading the sources naively. And you can't write knowledgably on modern Islamic reform if you don't know what Muslim authorities have written on issues in the medieval and early modern period.
The Islamic intellectual tradition is a lot more robust than many people are aware of.
