The twenty-first century has been dominated by an ongoing refugee crisis. The whole world seems to be engulfed in wars causing not just devastation, but also a flood of people fleeing their homes and countries. And refugees may no longer just be displaced by war, but can also be victims of far-right ideological intolerance or the continuing rampage of our climate catastrophe. Increasing international interconnectivity, the rise of global nomadism and growing xenophobia in politics make refugees an easy target in a world of uncertainty, chaos and contradiction. They cannot escape the reality of post-normal times. This issue of Critical Muslim explores the refugee experience and considers the best ways of dealing with this crisis. While claims and statistics remain in dispute, around two in every three refugees in the world today are Muslim. What does this mean for the future of Muslim societies and communities? About Critical Muslim: A quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. Each edition centres on a discrete theme, and contributions include reportage, academic analysis, cultural commentary, photography, poetry, and book reviews.
