Free 'Em All: A Look at the War on Islam, Political Prisoners & Prisoners of War" is a lecture by
Abbas Muntaqim that situates the war on Islam within the broader historical trajectory of Europe's colonization of Africa and the enslavement of African peoples. In this lecture, Muntaqim conceptualizes carcerality as an extension of the Crusades and traces the genealogy of political prisoners and political prisoners of war through this historical and religious development. Muntaqim's lecture will be followed by Q/A with attendees.
