[Kasurian @KasurianMag]

Is an "Anti-Modernity" even possible?

In Riding the Tiger, the second essay in Kasurian's Spring 2026 issue, @pashadelics explores the pitfalls of contemporary Muslim intellectual thought regarding industrial civilisation.

A byproduct of Islamic civilisation's "triple catastrophe" in the early 20th century, an often reactionary posture and contemptuous attitude towards industrial civilisation has left Muslims unwilling and passive participants in a world not of their own making.

The alternative is to become willing riders of the tiger, embracing the material reality we live in and becoming active agents in defining the world around us.

After all, what is this tiger, this epoch defined by the industrial mode of production, but a mechanism fashioned by men? The strongest hands steer it.

The only way out is through.
