DESTINY DISRUPTED: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes
Monday, 23 February, 2026
In The West we share a common world history: A perspective that puts The West and Christianity at the center of the world. But, what if the center of the world is the Islamic heartland? How does world history look from there? And how does the history from there, influence how all of us got here? We mark the month of Ramadan with our guest Tamim Ansary, author of DESTINY DISRUPTED: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes. First published in 2009, Tamim Ansary’s 2025 edition traces the story of Islam from the time of Mohammed in the 6th Century, through the fall of the Ottoman empire to the events of 9/11 and beyond. Tamim Ansary is an Afghan American, world traveler, lecturer, writer and editor. His other books include THE INVENTION OF YESTERDAY, ROAD TRIPS, and GAMES WITHOUT RULES: THE OFTEN INTERRUPTED HISTORY OF AFGHANISTAN.
