Across much of the world today, Muslim women of all ages are increasingly choosing to wear the veil. Is this trend a sign of rising piety or a way of asserting Muslim pride? And does the veil really provide women freedom from sexual harassment? Written in the form of letters addressing all those interested in this issue, Questioning the Veil examines the inconsistent and inadequate reasons given for the veil, and points to the dangers and limitations of this highly questionable cultural practice. Marnia Lazreg, a preeminent authority in Middle East women's studies, combines her own experiences growing up in a Muslim family in Algeria with interviews and the real-life stories of other Muslim women to produce this nuanced argument for doing away with the veil. An incisive mix of the personal and political, supported by meticulous research, Questioning the Veil will compel all readers to reconsider their views of this controversial and sensitive topic. Lazreg stresses that the veil is not included in the five pillars of Islam, asks whether piety sufficiently justifies veiling, explores the adverse psychological effects of the practice on the wearer and those around her, and pays special attention to the negative impact of veiling for young girls. Lazreg's provocative findings indicate that far from being spontaneous, the trend toward wearing the veil has been driven by an organized and growing campaign that includes literature, DVDs, YouTube videos, and courses designed by some Muslim men to teach women about their presumed rights under the veil. An incisive mix of the personal and political, supported by meticulous research, Questioning the Veil will compel all readers to reconsider their views of this controversial and sensitive topic.

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

"Timur (or Tamerlane) is famous as the fourteenth-century conqueror of much of Central Eurasia and the founder of the Timurid dynasty. His reputation lived on in his native lands and reappeared some three centuries after his death in the form of fictional biographies, authored anonymously in Persian and Turkic. These biographies have become part of popular culture. Despite a direct continuity in their production from the eighteenth century to the present, they remain virtually unknown to people outside the region. This remarkable and rigorous scholarly appraisal of the legendary biographies of Tamerlane is the first of its kind in any language. The book sheds light not only on the character of Tamerlane and how he was remembered and championed by many generations after his demise, but also on the era in which the biographies were written, and how they were conceived and received by the local populace during an age of crisis in their own history"--

Jihadist militants keep being a global threat. Many observers suggest that a transformation is likely to happen in their organisation, operation, mobilisation, and recruitment strategies, particularly after the territorial decline of the "Caliphate" of the "Islamic State." This volume explores different aspects of the future trajectories of militant jihadism and the prospective transformation of this movement in and around Europe. The authors analyse the changing jihadist landscape and networks, and the societal challenges posed by both returned foreign terrorist fighters and those who have not returned to their countries of origin. Other topics of discussion are cyber jihadism, jihadist financing, women's position in and relevance for contemporary jihadism, the role of prisons in relation to radicalisation and militancy, and the changing theological dynamics. Based on recent empirical research, 'Militant Jihadism' offers a solid scholarly contribution to various disciplines that study violence, terrorism, security, and extremism.
