Abstract

In this book three anthropologists explore contemporary religious architecture and they develop an original vision on the religious landscape in the Netherlands and Europe. Mosques, synagogues and churches do not only facilitate and symbolize religion, the intimate relationship we have with these buildings touches the essence of what religion is today - in both a positive and a negative sense.

Abstract

Dit boek bevat foto's van de elf nieuwbouwmoskeeën in Vlaanderen van de Belgisch-Turkse fotograaf Abdul-Vahit Duman. Vooraf schetst Meryem Kanmaz de evolutie van de moskeebouw in Vlaanderen van 'schuilmoskeeën' in omgebouwde woonhuizen, winkels of garages naar 'heimweemoskeeën' - replica's van het land van herkomst - en de groei naar moskeeën met een meer hedendaagse, Europese architectuur. De Duitse kunsthistoricus Christian Welzbacher bekijkt in een essay de moskeebouw in de rest van Europa en voert een pleidooi voor een eigen Euro-islamarchitectuur. In het hoofdstuk 'Moskeeperikelen' wordt de moeizame bouwgeschiedenis van drie van de nieuwbouwmoskeeën onderzocht: Een Turkse moskee in Beringen, een Marokkaanse moskee in Genk en een Pakistaanse moskee in Borgerhout.

Abstract

Premier examen méthodique des témoins de la civilisation islamique d'Éthiopie et du Somaliland, cet ouvrage propose une mise à jour des conceptions et des données. L'histoire de l'Islam dans la Corne de l'Afrique est livrée à de nombreux préjugés : on suppose sa présence ancienne sur la côte mais on lui concède un rôle secondaire et tardif au voisinage du royaume chrétien; l'importance supposée du facteur nomade dans sa diffusion paraît plaider pour une faible visibilité archéologique; l'absence de fouilles semble interdire d'individualiser l'architecture ancienne. Les résultats accumulés présentent aujourd'hui une tout autre image : des contreforts du haut plateau central d'Ethiopie jusqu'aux rives africaines du golfe d'Aden en passant par le Tchärtchär éthiopien, des vestiges archéologiques abondants délimitent les contours d'une civilisation sédentaire et urbaine antérieure au XVIe siècle. Témoins majeurs de ces sites, les mosquées permettent d'en proposer une première caractérisation architecturale. Enfin, le dialogue des sondages archéologiques et des sources écrites, arabes ou éthiopiennes, peut avoir lieu ; il offre de repenser l'essor et l'histoire du port de Zeyla (Somaliland) et permet de proposer un nouveau point de départ sur la géographie et la périodisation de l'Islam dans cette région du monde.

Abstract

The Religious Freedom Institute’s FORIS project, an initiative made possible by funding from the John Templeton Foundation, proudly presents, with the assistance of MDPI, this Special Issue of Religions with a focus on the “Freedom of Religious Institutions in Society.” Its strengths lie in its global perspective, the acumen of its authors, and the wide range of subjects and complex factors addressed. This Special Issue volume consists of a series of articles written by leading religious freedom scholars and advocates, including Jonathan Fox, Roger Finke, Paul Marshall, Chad Bauman, Byron Johnson, Timothy Shah, Robert Hefner, Lihui Zhang, Rebecca Supriya Shah, Dane Mataic, Mariz Tadros, and Akram Habib. It contributes to the overall scholarship revolving around religious freedom by placing greater and well-deserved attention upon the crucial nature of institutional religious freedom and its key capacity to enable the enjoyment of religious freedom and human rights in general. Religious liberty is not an individual right alone, but rather includes the right of religious communities to gather in synagogues, churches, mosques, temples, and other houses of worship. Freedom of religion also includes the right of faith communities to establish religious institutions such as schools, hospitals, ministries to the poor, universities, and countless others that seek to embody the teachings of their respective religious traditions. Institutional religious freedom encompasses this full range of congregational and organizational expressions of religious faith.

Abstract

Moslims kunnen hun vijf dagelijkse gebeden overal uitvoeren. Toch gingen Gentse moslims al kort na hun aankomst in de jaren 1960 op zoek naar een gezamenlijke gebedsruimte. In de diaspora betekenen moskeeën dan ook zoveel meer dan in de islamitische landen van herkomst. Ze evolueerden van ontmoetingsplaatsen in den vreemde tot multifunctionele centra ingebed in het stedelijke weefsel. Toch blijven deze 'schuilmoskeeën' voor de doorsnee Vlaming onzichtbaar in het stadsbeeld. Ze zien er immers niet uit als typische moskeeën met koepels en minaretten. Het zijn veeleer omgebouwde rijhuizen of panden die oorspronkelijk een andere bestemming hadden. Dat zegt ook veel over de positie van de moslims die niet over de mogelijkheden beschikten om nieuwbouwmoskeeën op te trekken. Daar komt stilaan verandering in. In de beginjaren van de moslimaanwezigheid in Europa en het Westen was de oprichting van een islamitische ruimte voornamelijk gericht op de eigen groep. Later werd zelfvertegenwoordiging ten opzichte van de buitenwereld alsmaar belangrijker. Terwijl moskeeën vroeger de moslims als het ware verborgen achter hun gevels, zijn ze vandaag de manier bij uitstek om zich te tonen. Dit boek van Meryem Kanmaz schetst de totstandkoming van de Gentse moskeeën en gebedsruimtes van de jaren 1960 tot 2009

Abstract

The contributions explore Muslim religious leadership in multiple forms and settings. While traditional authority is usually correlated with theology and piety, as in the case of classically trained ulema, the public advocacy of Muslim community concerns is often headed by those with professionalized skillsets and civic experience. In an increasingly digital world, both women and men exercise leadership in novel ways, and sites of authority are refracted from traditional loci, such as mosques and seminaries, to new and unexpected places. This collection provides systematic focus on a topic that has hitherto been given rather diffuse consideration. It complements historical work on community leadership as well as more contemporary discussion on the training and role of Islamic religious authorities. It will be of interest to scholars in Religious Studies, Sociology, Political Science, History, and Islamic Studies.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to create a space for contributions on religious freedom in the Global South. The contributions speak to diverse themes underscoring religious freedom in the Global South including the impact of religious freedom on majority and minority religious communities, the relationship between religious freedom and the state, and the relationship between religious freedom and other fundamental human rights. Through the adoption of inter- and multidisciplinary approaches, and with reference to various religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Sufism, Sikhism, and Christianity, contributors address the themes across several regions in the world including Africa, South Asia, South-East Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. Depending on the social, legal, and political context and by relying on diverse examples such as the Muslim call to prayer (adhan), domestic violence, animal sacrifice, religious conversions, abortion, the rights of LGBT persons, and religious education in the public sphere, the contributions illustrate how religious freedom can undermine or promote the rights of majority or minority religious communities, and how it can impact on the rights of marginalised members within minority religious communities.
