伊斯兰复兴主义及其真实的或被认为的支持者的活动垄断了关于伊斯兰教的讨论。本文探讨了这种关注如何完全忽视了绝大多数穆斯林。社会科学家未能将伊斯兰研究从支持和反对东方主义的陈词滥调中解放出来。伊斯兰教仍然被西方想象为低劣的（与犹太教和基督教传统相比），不变的，好战的;而穆斯林则认为它是上级的，有活力的，热爱和平的。本文概述了需要研究伊斯兰教作为一个认识论的项目。它主张为穆斯林和非穆斯林学者建立一个新的ijtihād，以思想史而不是政治事件或固定参数为工具，启动对伊斯兰教的新思维过程;使不可想象的概念成为历史而不是宗教假设;并将世俗主义，宗教和文化与当代挑战联系起来，而不是以一个取代另一个。
Islamic revivalism and the activities of those who are its real or perceived proponents have monopolized the discourse on Islam. This article explores how this focus has totally ignored an overwhelming majority of Muslims. Social scientists have failed to liberate Islamic studies from pro- and anti-Orientalism clichés. Islam is still imagined as inferior (to Jewish and Christian traditions), unchanging, and militant by the West; and superior, dynamic, and peace loving by Muslims. The article outlines a need to study Islam as an epistemological project. It argues for a new ijtihād for Muslim as well as non-Muslim scholars to initiate a process of new thinking on Islam with tools such as history of thought rather than political events or fixed parameters; to make unthinkable notions—a historical rather than a religious postulate—thinkable; and to relate secularism, religion, and culture to contemporary challenges rather than substituting one for the other.
