Has the Muslim Mind Been Colonised by the West? | Dr Nazir Khan
Summary
Dr. Nazir Khan discusses his book critiquing ten modern ideologies, such as liberalism and postmodernism, through the lens of Surah Al-Fatiha. He argues that Muslims suffer from a "psycho-epistemic disorder" where minds remain colonized by Western thought despite physical resistance. The episode explores how these ideologies strip society of moral stability and urges Muslims to decolonize their intellects by returning to Quranic guidance for ethical clarity.
