Abstract

"Just what is Islam and what does it mean to be a Muslim in the world today? Since the events of 9/11 and 7/7, Islam has become one of the most controversial and misunderstood religions in the world. Introducing Islam encourages students to put aside their preconceptions and explore this fascinating religion. William Shepard traces the history of Islam from its origins in the life and career of Mohammed, through its classical expressions, to its interactions with the West in the modern world. A chapter is devoted to each major topic, including The Quran, Islamic law, Islamic theology, and the Sufi movement, as well as community rituals and Islamic art and culture. There is a survey of modern developments and four chapters are dedicated to individual countries, Turkey, Iran, Egypt and Indonesia. Fully revised and updated, the second edition of this core textbook adds crucial material on contemporary issues such as women in Islam and democratization and human rights. Illustrated throughout, the book also includes learning objectives, a glossary of key Arabic terms, comprehensive further reading lists and critical thinking boxes, helping students to critically engage with the material in each chapter. Further teaching and learning resources are available on the companion website at www.routledge.com/cw/shepard .This book continues to be essential reading for students of Islam worldwide."--Publisher.

Abstract

[2014] « Un spectre hante l’Occident, le spectre de l’islam » : paraphrasant le Manifeste du parti communiste, écrit en 1848, on pourrait ainsi résumer le sentiment qui s’est emparé des dirigeants du Nord, relayés par quelques intellectuels soucieux de défendre les valeurs du « monde civilisé » contre celles des « barbares ». En France, la peur est d’autant plus forte qu’elle se situe à la confluence de deux angoisses : celle du terrorisme islamiste, accentué par les horreurs de la guerre civile algérienne et les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 ; celle de la « menace » que représenteraient les nouvelles classes dangereuses, les immigrés issus des pays anciennement colonisés, notamment du Maghreb. C’est le fantasme de cette « menace » islamique, à la fois interne et externe, qu’Alain Gresh démonte ici. Non en présentant une défense de l’islam, mais à partir d’une vision laïque et rationnelle des musulmans, dans leur diversité historique et géographique. Tout en fournissant les éléments essentiels pour comprendre la religion musulmane et son histoire, l’émergence de l’islam politique et son rôle dans les différents conflits, cet ouvrage revient sur les débats qui ont secoué la France. L’islam est-il compatible avec la démocratie ? Le foulard est-il une arme contre la laïcité ? Les musulmans peuvent-ils s’intégrer dans les sociétés européennes ? Les citoyens français, musulmans et non musulmans, croyants et non croyants, peuvent-ils bâtir ensemble un avenir commun ?

Abstract

Het debat rond het succes of de mislukking van de integratie van migranten wordt sterk beïnvloed door de perceptie rond de moslimgemeenschap in ons land. Bepaalde kwesties worden acuter met de dag: de toename van levensbeschouwelijke tekens in het algemeen en in het bijzonder vanuit de Islam en dit in het onderwijs, in jeugdhuizen, op de werkvloer. Acht jaar na de publicatie van het rapport 'Moslims en niet-moslims. Knelpunten in de dialoog' (2006) wenste de Stichting een nieuwe blik te werpen op de relaties en wederzijdse kijk tussen moslims en niet-moslims in Brussel. De onderzoekers van het Centre interdisciplinaire d'études de l'islam dans le monde contemporain (CISMOC-UCL) hebben zich, zonder taboe, verdiept in vragen die de bron vormen voor reële of mogelijke conflicten, en dit vanuit de wens om een gezonde en constructieve dialoog te voeren. Dit onderzoek richtte zich in het bijzonder op de relaties in scholen, bedrijven en verenigingen maar ook op intermenselijk vlak. De resultaten wijzen op de moeilijkheden om vreedzame relaties op te bouwen, en op het wederzijds gevoel van onbehagen. Deze publicatie vormt de synthese van de voornaamste onderzoeksresultaten.

Abstract

This volume assembles contributions from different academic perspectives (religious and Islamic studies, literary and theatre studies, theology, sociology and history) on modern manifestations of martyrdom in the diverse Middle Eastern religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism and the Baha'i-faith. The latter is considered in more detail since it is often not included in comparative studies on the monotheistic religions. An excursus into the farer East composes the contribution on Mahatma Gandhi. The volume considers central sociological, philosophical and theological problems which lie at the heart of the phenomenon of martyrdom, the significance of martyrdom in different conflicts, the competing martyr figures which develop in the course of these conflicts as well as the accompanying representations in art and ritual.

Abstract

Islam has a festival of sacrifice, id al-adha, which is celebrated each year in the month of pilgrimage. Simultaneous to the celebration and the sacrificial ritual in Mecca, during hajj, sheep, camels and cows are slaughtered all over the Muslim world. The story about how Abraham nearly sacrificed his son, Ishaq or Isma’il (Q 37), is important. Also other parts of the Qur’an contribute to the understanding of the id al-adha. Further, texts from the first 500 years after hijra contribute to a new comprehension of the theology of sacrifice in Islam. In this monograph insights from the wider field of religious and anthropological studies (esp. R.A. Rappaport) are applied to the source texts about sacrifices and rituals in pre-Islam and Islam.
