Question with 6 notes
Anonymous asked: Do you think the change in associations with Islam was related to the rise of wahhabism and similar movements pushing a conscious change in image, much the same as the black activists you mentioned did?
I think it was more the fading-from-memory of cosmopolitan civil-service port city Ottomanism than the rise of Wahhabism, but that’s part of it
