Can historians delete the word “Islamic” from their vocabulary, except when that is actually what they mean? To call all art from the Middle East, much of Africa & South Asia & even much of East Asia, from the 7th to 21st cent., “Islamic art” is extremely vague & often incorrect.
I often wonder whether 'Islamic' is the right word. Do we name other architectural styles after religions? There are many buildings found from Iceland to Armenia, and we don't say that they are in a 'Christian' architectural style, do we?
