Hidden Histories
As we trace the roots of the ideals that shaped this nation, we find threads of Islamic philosophy intertwined within. This interconnection between Western and Islamic ideas remains largely unspoken in our common historical narratives, causing us to miss out on a fuller understanding of our own foundations.
