| Summary: | This contribution uses a postcolonial perspective to outline the range of contemporary queer Muslim theologies. It highlights the multiple challenges that occur when gender and sexuality become fault-lines in ideological debates that presuppose a 'clash of civilisations' between Islam and the West. I focus on the consequences of this 'clash' paradigm on the emergence of queer Muslim theologies in different contexts, comparing and contrasting their main assumptions and approaches. Queer Muslim theologies thus provide a crucial lens to analyse the diverse contestations of power and politics within the contemporary landscape of Islam. |
