Good Muslim, Bad Muslim” by Mahmood Mamdani is a thought-provoking exploration of the historical and political circumstances that have shaped global perceptions of Islam and Muslims. The book delves into the complex interplay between American foreign policy, the Cold War, and the emergence of political Islam, challenging the simplistic dichotomy of “good” versus “bad” Muslims. Mamdani critically examines how geopolitical interests have influenced the narrative surrounding Islam and terrorism, tracing back to the United States’ involvement in Afghanistan during the Cold War and its impacts on global politics. Through meticulous analysis, the author presents a nuanced perspective that encourages a deeper understanding of the roots of political violence and the role of major world powers in shaping the modern geopolitical landscape.
