Abstract

Transnational Turkish Islam provides a state of the art portrait of the Turkish Islamic infrastructure in seven European countries. The book analyses how the Turkish Islamic organizational landscape has developed over the course of time against the background of three major changes: the transformation of Turkish Muslims from migrants to permanent residents in Europe, the rooting of Islam in Europe, and the societal and political changes in Turkey in the past decades. These changes impact the way Turkish Muslims organize locally, nationally and transnationally. Turkish Islamic organizations today act not just on a national level, but are embedded in a transnational field. The authors take critical issue with the assumption that Islam in Europe should be cut off from its roots and forced into a national model. They argue that maintaining transnational networks is not in contradiction with rooting in the local society.

Abstract

Analyses European Muslim communities' developing involvement in their political environment and related Muslim and public debates. Muslims are increasingly making themselves noticed in the political process of Europe. But what is happening behind the often sensational headlines? This book looks at the processes and realities of Muslim participation in local and national politics: voting patterns in local and national assemblies and the tensions between ethnic, political and religious identities. These developments drive internal Muslim debates including attitudes to the democratic processes and whether Muslims should take part at all, as well as rivalries over who should represent and speak for Muslims. They also inspire sharp European discussion about Muslim political participation - does it signal integration or separation? - and how the European states should view this increasingly active role of Muslims in the public space.

Abstract

"Une jupe, ce n'est qu'un bout de tissu" affirmait l'actrice française Isabelle Adjani alors qu'elle recevait en 2010 un prix pour sa prestation dans le film La journée de la jupe de Jean-Paul Lilienfeld. Un simple bout de tissu mais, poursuivait-elle, "qu'elle soit courte ou qu'elle soit longue, son symbole peut nous aider à gagner une bataille contre l'obscurantisme et contre la haine des femmes. Cette jupe, c'est justement l'anti-niqab. Cette jupe, c'est justement l'anti-burqa". Ce qu'Isabelle Adjani qualifie de simple bout de tissu se trouve investi d'une symbolique qui dépasse largement la banalité de ce vêtement ordinaire du quotidien. La jupe devient un symbole. Elle devient un rempart. Elle incarne les valeurs d'une société et se trouve opposée à cet autre bout de tissu, un bout de tissu extraordinaire cette fois : le "niqab", la "burqa", ou plus généralement le voile intégral. Le voile intégral est en effet porteur d'un contenu symbolique qui heurte certains principes moraux des sociétés occidentales. Longtemps associé au régime des talibans en Afghanistan ou à des pratiques radicales de l'islam en vigueur au Moyen-Orient, il représente une condition d'infériorisation insoutenable de la femme. C'est un bout de tissu à double épaisseur - culturelle et religieuse - qui suscite l'émoi et interroge la capacité des démocraties libérales à trouver des solutions juridiques et politiques légitimes et efficaces face à l'expression de convictions en porte-à-faux avec les valeurs de la majorité. Quelle place accorder aux droits fondamentaux face à la radicalisation de certaines pratiques religieuses ? Le port du voile intégral nécessite-t-il des législations d'exception ? Comment concilier la spécificité d'une identité culturelle partagée par tous avec la diversité des authenticités qui se rencontrent dans la sphère publique ? Voilà autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage nous propose de réfléchir.
