As Euro-American public discourse seeks to identify and promote moderate Muslims over extremists, I am asking how Muslim academics themselves contribute to this politicised geopolitical narrative by trying to identify moderate Muslims and Islam over other forms of Islam, which are more varied and variegated than anyone could ever imagine. My argument is that by characterising Muslims according to such a racialised binary, as critical race theorist David Tyrer describes it, Muslim academics are playing the role of house Muslims.
