The Isma'ilis and The Problem of Representation
In this episode I discuss the issue of representation - who gets to represent a religion? Why? and how should we discuss it critically today?
The discussion consists mainly of the example of the Isma'ili Muslims, whose doctrines and ideas have often differed dramatically from that of the mainstream.
A lot of the information on the Ismaili view of the Qu'ran came from the research of Khalil Andani, whom I forgot to mention in the video. Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/IsmailiGnosis
