On the question of Islam and the more-than-world city

This further engagement is organised into two parts. In the first part, I clarify that my emphasis on ‘what is Islam’ in my previous commentary should not be read as an obstacle to the inquiry of ‘how’ and ‘why’. Instead, it should be an invitation to rethink how to do ‘how’ and ‘why’ research and decolonisation. In the second part, I think through the concept of more-than-world city coined by Sidaway and highlight some points that geographers ‘outside the project’ should consider when thinking with a different metaphysical commitment.
