Hussein Aboubakr Mansour's hypothesis about Islamism, 'historicism' and Western "Progressivism"
Excerpt of the here linked video by Tikvah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlNQsL75jRo
My take:
In short, Hussein Aboubakr Mansour's hypothesis is that Islam and Jihad became the way they are not because of a re-orientation of large parts of the Muslim world to original Islamic texts, traditions of Caliphate(s) and their expansionism by war. But by an orientation on Western modern ideas of kinds of 'historical structuralism' and revolutionism.
Hussein Aboubakr Mansour is right about the revolutionism being adapted by Arab Nationalist and "Revolutionary Movements" in the 1960s. And then adapted by Islamism (or mixed with Islamic political ideology) in the 1970s and onward.
But I assume there is a parallelism between certain ideas of Western "Progressivism" and Wokeism etc. (which are [permanent] revolutionisms) and the current form of Islamism. It is a parallel in parts, but not that they share a common original source. Islamism in the course of time may have adopted some ideas from modern Western Historicisms and Revolutionism and "Anti-Colonialism" like that of Frantz Fanon. But those were taken up along the way and adapted in those parts that fit the original ideology. Not a basically changing event that altered the social, cultural political ideology part of Islam into something basically different. Neither changed it the originally also political (not only spiritual) meaning of Jihad.
Western historicisms and Revolutionism and political Islam are not derived from the same source. They are not having the same worldview and not the same ideological goals. It is a parallel dance together for a time. Out of instrumental utility for both sides, Revolutionism, Wokeism and political Islam and Islamism have an instrumental coalition currently. And for at least parts of the Woke--as Hussein Aboubakr Mansour rightly says--Muslims are a kind of victim&savior figures from evil Western colonialism and oppression and patriarchy (!) etc.
