Abstract

For many centuries, Muslim religious educational institutions (known as dini madaris) have held an important position among educational institutions in the Indian subcontinent. However, after the 9/11 attacks in the USA and the subsequent declaration of the global `war on terrorism`, allegations against these institutions-about their being breeding grounds for Muslim fundamentalists and terrorists-have dominated India`s media. The debates about these educational institutions primarily revolve around questions like: Is there a link between madaris and violence, anti-national activities, or terr

Abstract

This book takes into view a large variety of Muslim actors who, in recent years, made their entry into the European public sphere. Without excluding the phenomenon of terrorists, it maps the whole field of Muslim visibility. The nine contributions present unpublished ethnographic materials that have been collected between 2003 and 2005. They track down the available space that is open to Muslims in EU member states claiming a visibility of their own. The volume collects male and female, secular and religious, radical and pietistic voices of sometimes very young people. They all speak about »being a Muslim in Europe« and the meaning of »real Islam«.

Abstract

When the focus is on black or Asian minorities, Britain is frequently described as a multi-cultural state. But when the focus is on Scotland, England and Wales, Britain is also described as a multi-national state. Yet debates about multiculturalism and nationalism have been held in parallel without sharing even a common vocabulary. This book is a pioneering study of how multiculturalism interacts with multinationalism, especially within post-devolution Scotland. It gives equal attention to Scotland's largest 'visible' and 'invisible' minorities: ethnic Pakistanis (almost all of them Muslim) an

Abstract

The Sufi Muslim orders to which the vast majority of Senegalese belong are the most significant institutions of social organization in the country. While studies of Islam and politics have tended to focus on the destabilizing force of religiously based groups, the author argues that in Senegal the orders have been a central component of a political system that has been among the most stable in Africa. Focusing on a regional administrative centre, he combines a detailed account of grassroots politics with an analysis of national and international forces to examine the ways in which the internal dynamics of the orders shape the exercise of power by the Senegalese. This is a major study that should be read by every student of Islam and politics as well as of Africa.

Abstract

En proposant d'appréhender les populations musulmanes de France par le biais du livre islamique et de ses circuits de distribution, cet ouvrage offre une lecture nouvelle et pertinente de l'islam hexagonal. L'ouverture de librairies islamiques comme la prolifération des points de vente plus informels d'ouvrages portant sur la pratique religieuse musulmane dans les quartiers parisiens de la Goutte d'Or et de la Folie Méricourt datent du milieu des années 1980. Ce phénomène, que l'auteur décrit et analyse en détail, offre la matière à une véritable sociologie urbaine de ces quartiers traditionnellement dévolus à l'accueil des migrants dans l'espace parisien. L'apparition des librairies signale l'aboutissement du processus d'installation pérenne et de communautarisation dans des espaces faussement perçus comme abandonnés et marginalisés. Qui sont cependant les clients fréquentant les librairies ? Quelle relation les lecteurs entretiennent-ils avec le livre islamique ? Quelles sont les motivations conduisant à l'acquisition d'ouvrages mais aussi d'objets en relation à l'islam ? Pour répondre à ces questions, l'auteur s'est livré à une véritable enquête portant sur les catalogues, les thèmes, les auteurs mais aussi les réseaux de distribution, du Beyrouth des années 1980-1990 à la naissance d'une imprimerie islamique parisienne. Cette sociologie historique des réseaux de production du livre s'achève au moment où les indices d'une crise de la demande deviennent manifestes. Comment expliquer cette crise ? Quelle recomposition annonce-t-elle ? Et surtout, que nous dit-elle sur les dynamiques de l'islam en France ? L'auteur livre sur ce point un faisceau d'analyses fort documentées qui sont bien loin des idées reçues.

Abstract

De islamitische journaliste Hind Fraihi heeft een boek geschreven over haar ervaringen in de islamitische wereld in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. Ze ging op zoek naar moslimradicalen om hen zelf aan het woord te laten. De auteur omschrijft het toenemende islamfundamentalisme als een politieke godsdienst die weigert in eigen boezem te kijken. De politieke islam wordt beschreven als een collectieve vlucht voor de maatschappelijke malaise in de Arabische wereld, met een weerslag op en in het Westen. Fraihi's bevindingen gaan ook niet voorbij aan de 'herislamisering' van aanvankelijk gematigde moslims. Tegenover deze born agains staan weer extremistische moslims van andere aard: zij die stemmen op het Vlaams Belang.
