By Dean Mohammed
Prayer is often seen as a private matter, something that we do between ourselves and God. But what if prayer is not so private after all? What if it is a political act that can have a profound impact on the world around us?
In his groundbreaking book, Prayer As Political Problem, Dean Mohammed argues that prayer is not a neutral activity. It is always shaped by our political beliefs and desires, and it can be used to justify both violence and oppression.
Mohammed draws on a wide range of examples to illustrate his argument. He shows how prayer has been used to justify everything from the Crusades to the Holocaust to the 9/11 attacks. He also shows how prayer can be used to challenge injustice and oppression, and to create a more just and equitable world.
Mohammed's book is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of religion in politics. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between faith and power.
