From the Paper:

"Islam & Modernity is a critique of Islamic education, but more concisely, a critique of Islamic intellectualism that forms the basis of education in reference to the Qur'an. Written in the late 1970s but not published until 1982, Islam & Modernity could be described as a discussion as to why and how practicing Muslims find difficulty and dichotomy between the dictates of their faith and their engagement with modernity."
