One of these times is now, as I prepare to stand down from my 17 years’ involvement with the Council and the last 10 years as its Chairman. Along the way there have been many memorable moments. These include events such as the IAA in Frankfurt, Techno Clas- sica, the Mille Miglia, the Villa D’Este Concorso, and of course BMW Motorrad Days. And I think not just of the events, but often the drives to get there. Be it through the scenery of Bavaria and northern Italy, across Death Valley, along the coast near Cape Town or the pristine beauty of New Zealand’s South Island. Events and Council meetings themselves invoke many fond memories, from a unique dinner on the 50 yard line in the Skydome in Toronto, to a boisterous beer or three in the beer tents at several Oktoberfests in Munich. But one factor remained constant, wherever I was, and whatever I was doing, I was sharing the ex- perience with BMW friends. I have always said clubs are not formed by cars or motorcycles, but by people – passionate and enthusiastic BMW owners. I have had the pleasure of meeting numerous members from clubs throughout the world as well as from the BMW corporate family.

    ABSTRACT AMERICAN BORN IMAMS: NEGOTIATING CLERICAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS by Anas Askar April, 2017 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lee Maril Department of Sociology This inductive, exploratory study seeks to understand in detail the personal perspectives and career paths that American born Imams experience as they become religious leaders. In doing so, this study will examine their objectives and goals for the religious communities in which they reside and are integrally related. More specifically, this study analyzes the responsibilities and expectations with which imams must contend on a daily basis. Symbolic interactionism frames these issues and, at the same time, is the driving force behind an understanding of the imams’ experiences as well as those of other important actors in Muslim communities. Employing structured and in-depth interviews, this convenience sample of American born imams addresses key questions which inductively give rise to three major themes: imams currently receive inadequate training for their positions as religious leaders in their communities; the relationship between the mosque board and an imam can directly reinforce or mitigate against problems within the religious community; and certain fundamental advantages along with disadvantages emerge for imams who are American born.

  • The Role of Muttahida Qaumi Movement in Sindhi-Muhajir Controversy in Pakistan
    ISSN: 2664-8148 (Online) Liberal Arts and Social Sciences International Journal (LASSIJ) https://doi.org/10.47264/idea.lassij/1.1.2 Vol. 1, No. 1, (January-June) 2017, 71-82 https://www.ideapublishers.org/lassij __________________________________________________________________ The Role of Muttahida Qaumi Movement in Sindhi-Muhajir Controversy in Pakistan Syed Mukarram Shah Gilani1*, Asif Salim1-2 and Noor Ullah Khan1-3 1. Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, Peshawar Pakistan. 2. Department of Political Science, Emory University Atlanta, Georgia USA. 3. Department of Civics-cum-History, FG College Nowshera Cantt., Pakistan. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Abstract The partition of Indian sub-continent in 1947 was a historic event surrounded by many controversies and issues. Some of those ended up with the passage of time while others were kept alive and orchestrated. Besides numerous problems for the newly born state of Pakistan, one such controversy was about the Muhajirs (immigrants) who were settled in Karachi. The paper analyses the factors that brought the relation between the native Sindhis and Muhajirs to such an impasse which resulted in the growth of conspiracy theories, division among Sindhis; subsequently to the demand of Muhajir Suba (Province); target killings, extortion; and eventually to military clean-up operation in Karachi. The paper also throws light on the twin simmering problems of native Sindhis and Muhajirs. Besides, the paper attempts to answer the question as to why the immigrants could not merge in the native Sindhis despite living together for so long and why the native Sindhis remained backward and deprived. Finally, the paper aims at bringing to limelight the role of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

  • Tantangan Agama Di Era Globalisasi: Analisis Strategi Komunikasi, Karakteristik Dan Materi Dakwah
    El Madani: Jurnal Dakwah dan Komunikasi Islam Vol. 2 No. 1 Tahun 2021 Hal. 1-24 ISSN: 2620-5998 (Print) 2721-7167 (Online) Tantangan Agama di Era Globalisasi: Analisis Strategi Komunikasi, Karakteristik dan Materi Dakwah Bara Izzat Wiwah Handaru Mahasiswa, Sekolah Pascasarjana, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Indonesia Wakil Rektor I, STT Baptis Kalvari Jakarta, Indonesia email: [email protected] Abstract The revolution in technology and communication media in this era of globalization has made the phenomenon of Islamic da'wah experience significant progress globally. This can be seen when the da'wah style has used advances in information technology so that the da'wah message is more widespread that is able to touch international aspects. But in reality, this change in pattern gave birth to new problems in the world of da'wah. This article tries to answer the main problems formulated in the major questions, namely; What are the challenges of religion in the era of globalization, using an analysis of communication strategies, characteristics and material for da'wah? According to Gill Branston and Roy Stafford (2010), there are several points explained about globalization. First, approaches to globalized media. Explain how to approach da'wah in the use of global media. Second, global–local flows. Explain how far the development of the flow of da'wah ideas that have reached the global world. Third, global futures? Explain how changes will occur in the world of da'wah in the future global era. In the end, the research provides insight into the topic of the problem in this paper. First, practically the da'wah movement in information technology and media in the era of globalization is based on Islam rahmatan lil 'alamin.

  • October 24, 2008 Honorable Raymond Kelly Police Commissioner of NYPD One Police Plaza New York, NY 10038 Dear Commissioner Kelly
    October 24, 2008 Honorable Raymond Kelly Police Commissioner of NYPD One Police Plaza New York, NY 10038 Dear Commissioner Kelly: We the undersigned New York Muslim advocates, attorneys, and community leaders write to welcome your commitment to open and ongoing dialogue with the Muslim community and express our appreciation for your decision to publicly distance the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from some of the worrying implications of the NYPD report Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat (“NYPD Report”) in your letter of October 6, 2008. Indeed, it is a mark of your leadership that you participated personally in a series of discussions about the NYPD Report with members of the Muslim community, following its release in August of 2007. We believe that frank discussions - including robust public debate and criticism of law enforcement - are necessary precursors to a successful counter-terrorism policy. As such, in response to your clarifications, observations and updates in the October 6, 2008 letter, we submit the following: • Without question, terrorism raises serious and painful questions for all New Yorkers irrespective of their faith, race, or national origin. In the same vein, profiling by law enforcement on the basis of religion and race also warrants careful attention. Therefore, we appreciate your acknowledgement in the letter “that Muslims are not in any way a threat to security” (p.1). This statement is critically important because it reduces the actual risk that some police officers, whether here or abroad, might read the NYPD Report and consider it a justification for racial, religious, or ethnic profiling.
