JUDGING ARAB & MUSLIM HISTORY - When the Past Meets the Bias Present

Описание: Why do so many misunderstand Arab and Muslim history? In this video, we explore how presentism — a Western tendency to selectively judge the Arab and Muslim past through today's moral and ideological standards, and how it distorts our understanding of Islamic history, Arab identity, and complex historical truths.

From the life of the Prophet Muhammad to colonialism, the treatment of non-Muslims, and the roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict, we unpack how modern biases shape harsh, often unfair critiques. Perfect for those seeking to empathize, deconstruct prejudice, and engage critically with history — not just as it was, but as it unfolded and was experienced.
