O h suggests that, in light of the historical relationship between M uslim and non‐ M uslim states and the aftermath of the second I raq W ar, more consideration be given to the rebuilding of M uslim‐majority societies. O h also highlights the concept of duty as a religiously based ideal to which governments of M uslim nations ought to be held.
