Abstract

9/11 and continued acts of global terrorism have challenged the understanding of academic experts, policymakers, and students, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Critical questions have been raised about Islam and Muslim politics in the modern world: Are Islam and modernity compatible? Is Islam in need of and capable of reform? What do Islam and what do Muslims have to say about globalization, democracy, human rights, women, jihad, violence, terrorism, and suicide bombing? Thoroughly revised and updated in this second edition, Islam in Transition: Muslim Perspectives responds to these and other questions, taking into account the myriad of changes and challenges that Islam and Muslims have experienced over the last twenty years. Featuring numerous contemporary writings, fifty percent of which are new to this edition, it provides a point of entry into the various and changing dynamics of Muslim discourse and politics. This volume also bridges the nineteenth and the twenty-first centuries by retaining relevant classic selections from the first edition--by a diverse group of contributors from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the U.S.--that offer historical background. Ideal for courses on Islam, politics in Islam, and Middle Eastern history, Islam in Transition: Muslim Perspectives, Second Edition, presents a wide range of viewpoints from a cross-section of Muslim intellectuals and religious leaders, from secular to devout, traditionalist to reformist, and moderate to extremist. The essays address key issues including Islam and nationalism, socialism, the secular state, economics, modernization, democracy, women, jihad, violence, terrorism, suicide bombing, globalization, and civilizational dialogue.

Abstract

De kwestie van de hoofddoeken heeft al veel inkt doen vloeien. Zeker het debat over het dragen van de hoofddoek op school wordt gevoerd tussen hevige voor- en tegenstanders. Wat is nu de betekenis van de hoofddoek? Is het een uiting van strenge religiositeit of juist een uiting van eigen vrije wil en van emancipatie? Moeten de scholen een algemene regel opgelegd krijgen of laat men elke school de vrijheid zijn eigen huishoudelijk regelement terzake op te stellen? Veel vragen en de hevigheid waarmee erover gediscussieerd wordt, wijst volgens de auteur op de onderliggende kwesties die hierdoor aangeraakt worden. Om maar enkele te noemen: de neutraliteit van het onderwijs, de emancipatie van de vrouw en de vrijheid van meningsuiting.

Abstract

An essential aspect of what is now called the Islamic Revival, the cassette sermon can be heard in most Middle Eastern cities, punctuating the daily routines of many men and women. Charles Hirschkind shows how these tapes provide the means by which Islamic ethical traditions recalibrate to a modern political and technological order& mdash;to its noise and forms of pleasure and boredom, but also to its political incitements and call for citizen participation. Focusing on Cairo's popular neighborhoods, Hirschkind highlights the pivotal role sermon tapes now play in an expanding arena of Islamic

Abstract

Dit boek gaat over de bekering van westerse vrouwen tot de islam. De essays in het boek zijn geschreven naar aanleiding van een symposium 'gender and conversion to islam'. De auteurs komen uit verschillende disciplines: sociologie, antropologie, geschiedeniswetenschap en theologie. Er wordt nagegaan waarom westerse vrouwen zich bekeren tot de islam en wat de impact hiervan is op hun eigen leven en op hun omgeving. De auteurs hebben daarvoor gebruik gemaakt van talrijke getuigenissen en interviews met bekeerde vrouwen in de Verenigde Staten, de Scandinavische landen, Duitsland, Nederland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Zuid-Afrika.
