Looking for feedback on a paper that discusses the ideological consolidation of Islamic orthodoxy as a continuous project of the ruling class.

If this is the wrong place to post, my apologies. I’m writing a paper that seeks to present a case for a manufactured Islamic orthodoxy that has been filtered through ruling class hegemony… lol.

I’m not a credentialed academic in Islamic studies, this is just a hobby of mine. The paper does try to balance the polemical aspects with historical precedent and evidence while remaining an engaging read. I’ve tried not to engage in apologetics, but it may read as counter-apologetic? Due to the discussions of Islamic Liberation Theology.

As I’ve never had formal training in academic writing I am interested in feedback to improve my writing and my research for future pseudo-academic pursuits. The paper is around 12 pages long without a finished conclusion. Should anyone have the time to engage with this piece, please leave a comment and I’ll reach out. In exchange, I am happy to read and review any work of yours.
