Native informer accounts mechanically attribute all Muslim violence to Islam itself

Evidence

Native informer “tell-all” accounts do not explain how Islam figures in local contexts or in a broader history; they simply demonstrate that Islam explains every episode of Muslim violence in history, at every scale, from a dysfunctional nuclear family to war between medieval empires. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 361
