The Thinking MuslimConstructing an Ummatics Centered Caliphate – with Prof. Ovamir AnjumOur guest this week, Professor Ovamir Anjum argues that any future reconstruction of this sacred institution has to be premised upon what he calls an Ummatics framework, an ummah-centric model.

The Thinking MuslimOn Jihad, Empire and Solidarity - a Conversation with Dr Darryl Li and Dr Ovamir AnjumThis past week marks twenty years since the opening of the infamous detention centre, Guantanamo Bay. It remains a symbol of the hollowness of the very values that underpin the liberal world order. Camp X ray was to house dangerous ‘jihadists’, a nebulous general term that is used to describe those foreign fighters that would for no 'explicable' reason travel to distant parts of the world to fight other peoples wars. Within time, the term came to explain a universal ideology, from Bosnia to Afghanistan, Palestine to Kashmir – those that crossed national boundaries to fight for an oppressed ummah were l...2022-01-181h 20
