Faisal Devji on the crisis of 'global Islam' in Turkey and elsewhere turkeybooktalk.com/2026/04/14/fai… via @WJ_Armstrong

@KamranBokhari @HamidRezaAz Excellent

The Iran war is cooling - but the Islamic Republic survives battered, unstable, and focused on regime preservation over power projection. A last-minute U.S. pause, brokered by Pakistan, reflects classic crisis bargaining: escalation peaking just before a deal. We'll see what happens with the talks tomorrow in Islamabad but the bigger and more enduring story is structural - Washington’s shift to burden-shifting and Russia’s decline are dissolving old regional boundaries across the Middle East, South Asia, and Eurasia. In that fluid order, mid-tier powers like Pakistan, Turkey, and the trans-Caspian states are emerging as cross-regional security players shaping the next balance. My latest for @GPFutures: geopoliticalfutures.com/the-iran-war-a… @MidEastPolicy

@MacaesBruno What Hegel once said of the Arabs now applies to the Europeans: they have left the stage of history

Trump will eventually realise there’s only one group left he can intimidate: Europeans. And then Greenland will be lost

@dekkani @BasharatPeer @MikeDwyerMike @HurstPublishers Congratulations!

On M.N.Roy's birthday, I'm very happy to reveal the cover of my forthcoming book. It will narrate Roy's attempts to bring down the British Empire & the rise of global imperial intelligence networks in response to the dark spectre of global communism. hurstpublishers.com/book/one-man-a…

My review of @faisaldevji's "Waning Crescent" @frontline_india. The book reads like an exciting Bildungsroman of "global Islam as a historical subject, replete with heroes, villains, open and hidden desires, violent conflicts, transformations, and possible conclusions."

@nikhil_palsingh My condolences

My Dad died last night. He was 94. He was married to my Mom (90) for 67 years. His life was an adventure; I’m deeply grateful to him for what he gave me. My father’s story is everything MAGA nativists tell people to hate, but anyone who knew him would say he enriched their lives.

@AkyolinEnglish @LawLiberty Many thanks for this wonderful review!

There is some alarmism in the West about the supposedly imminent “Islamist takeover” of the world. But Faisal Devji's new book, "Waning Crescent: The Rise and Fall of Global Islam," offers a counterview: Islamism is waning. My review for @LawLiberty: lawliberty.org/book-review/is…

@fitzmorrissey @OxfordHistory Very much looking forward to reading the book!

I enjoyed speaking about my forthcoming book (bloomsbury.com/uk/renewal-of-…) to the Global and Imperial History seminar @OxfordHistory yesterday. Many thanks to @faisaldevji for the invitation and to colleagues and students for their incisive questions and comments!

@MacaesBruno True all over Europe

American refugees are making life very hard for locals in Portugal. I am sitting 400 meters away from a couple and can hear every single word of the conversation
