Hypophora

Hypophora: But What Then Am I? A Thing That Thinks is a bold, intellectually rigorous exploration of Islamic jurisprudence, religious authority, and the misuse of faith in modern political contexts. Written in a clear question-and-answer (hypophora) format, the manuscript examines fatwas, Shia and Sunni traditions, extremism, and the ethical boundaries of religious power through historical sources, contemporary case studies, and philosophical inquiry.

Unflinching and deeply analytical, the work challenges dogma, confronts politicized religion, and invites readers—both believers and skeptics—to engage critically with concepts of justice, violence, and moral responsibility. This manuscript is a thought-provoking contribution for readers interested in theology, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, and human rights.
