Adnan gives a video version of remarks he made on a panel “Muslims and the Making of History: Religion, Race, and Secularism” at Radboud University in the Netherlands in May 2025. He discussed the way historical narratives, particularly developed during the colonial era, of the European Middle Ages depend on various assumptions about Muslims and their historical character as medieval disrupters of a Mediterranean world rather than as participants in it. He examined the intersections of race and religion in the complex of Eurocentric historiography and its orientalism and its enduring legacies on the Crusading Society, his counter-narrative for a liberatory future. His presentation was entitled "The Medieval Muslim: Historiographical Recursivities of White Supremacy.”
