In this much-awaited edition of #Riasat, Ahmed Quraishi delves into Muslim mindset, extremism, and Islamic thought with the renowned scholar Dr. Ahmet T. Kuru, Professor of Political Science at San Diego State University and a doctoral candidate at Columbia. The occasion is the upcoming launch of the Urdu version of Prof. Kuru's book, 'Islam, Authoritarianism, and Underdevelopment' by the Islamabad-based Iqbal Institute for Research and Dialogue.
In this interesting conversation, Quraishi provokes Prof. Kuru with questions such as: Does Islam cause underdevelopment? And how to explain earlier Muslims' interest in sciences while today's Muslim thought is preoccupied with petty issues such as women's clothing.
