ABSTRACT
This auto-ethnography explores the ways in which storytelling can illuminate the ways in which an ‘Islamist’ can(not) engage in ‘free speech’. It argues the double bind that Muslims find themselves (condemn OR be condemned) in the War on Terror exposes the ‘liberal swindle’ that is free speech. Through storytelling and a ring composition, the author analyses his own engagement in academia and how as a Muslim he is compelled to code his dissent through toying with academic form rather than content.
