Different Strokes: American Muslim Scholars Engage Media and Politics in the Woke Era
Introduction
At the turn of the century, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, known as the Naked Chef, pared back cooking to its essentials, presenting food in a naked and raw format relatable to viewers. Based on Oliver’s moniker, ex-UK Ambassador to Lebanon Tom Fletcher (2016) made an observation after working with “the last paper-and-pen prime minister, Tony Blair; the first email prime minister, Gordon Brown; and the first iPad prime minister, David Cameron” that diplomatic survival necessitated evolving from “an intimate typist” into a “Naked Diplomat” by using platforms like Twitter.

Usaama al-Azami traces the public engagements and religious pronouncements of several prominent ulama in the region, including Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Ali Gomaa and Abdallah bin Bayyah, to explore their role in either championing the Arab revolutions or supporting their repression.
