What is decoloniality?
Decoloniality is not decolonization Decoloniality is not anti-imperialism Decoloniality is not intersectionality Decoloniality is not postcolonialism Decoloniality is not postmodernism
Decoloniality is an existential commitment to thinking in a radical exteriority to confront and end the colonial matrix of power, and the underlying logic of the foundation and unfolding of Western civilisation.

Islam is an existential life-transaction
