  • THE RELIGIOUS OPPOSITION in ALGERIA August 21, 2011 Gloria-Center.Org
    http://www.gloria-center.org/2011/08/the-religious-opposition-in-algeria-2/ THE RELIGIOUS OPPOSITION IN ALGERIA August 21, 2011 gloria-center.org This article provides an analytical discussion on the religious opposition in Algeria, exploring the conditions and conflict-prone effects of the movement. Through historical analysis, the study reveals that the Islamist opposition in Algeria is to some extent value-driven, but it is mostly a reaction to undesirable local conditions, especially economic distress, widespread poverty, and unjust distribution of national wealth. Thus, the article suggests that positive actions be taken to deal with these issues if the religious opposition is to be successfully managed in Algeria. INTRODUCTION One of the clearest aspects of the post-Cold War era is the rise of religion as a social and political movement around the globe, and, by extension, the growing number of religiously-driven conflicts. This trend appears to be more evident in the Middle East, although it is not limited to this particular region. The secular governments in the Middle East have been frequently challenged, sometimes quite seriously, by Islamist oppositions that want to establish a state based on religious rules. The clash between government forces and militant Islamists often resulted in severe casualties, in which many innocent people, foreigners, as well as fighting sides themselves became victims. In order to manage religious opposition and cope with its conflict-prone effects, it is necessary to understand the nature of such opposition. Algeria offers a valuable case study, since although the country–unlike many Middle Eastern countries–has no tradition of early Islamic revivalism, the secular government was seriously challenged by political Islamism in the 1990s and only survived with the help of the military.

Printed in the United States of America. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 96-75962 ISBN 1-56432-164-9 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was researched and written by Human Rights Watch Counsel Jemera Rone. Human Rights Watch Leonard H. Sandler Fellow Brian Owsley also conducted research with Ms. Rone during a mission to Khartoum, Sudan, from May 1-June 13, 1995, at the invitation of the Sudanese government. Interviews in Khartoum with nongovernment people and agencies were conducted in private, as agreed with the government before the mission began. Private individuals and groups requested anonymity because of fear of government reprisals. Interviews in Juba, the largest town in the south, were not private and were controlled by Sudan Security, which terminated the visit prematurely. Other interviews were conducted in the United States, Cairo, London and elsewhere after the end of the mission. Ms. Rone conducted further research in Kenya and southern Sudan from March 5-20, 1995.

  • The Absence of Muslim Women in Shaping Islamic Thought
    BARAZANGI JLR FINAL CLEAN COPY 6.15.09 (1) 1/21/2015 11:36 AM THE ABSENCE OF MUSLIM WOMEN IN SHAPING ISLAMIC THOUGHT: FOUNDATIONS OF MUSLIMS’ PEACEFUL AND JUST CO-EXISTENCE Nimat Hafez Barazangi I. SUMMARY This paper explores the ethical and legal pedagogy of the current debates on “reforming” Muslim societies, whether they claim to reform social and legal systems, reform educational institutions, or liberate Muslim women. Since these debates claim to achieve balance in global or domestic conflicts, I address the foundations of these debates by answering three questions: (1) Are the rationales for American and/or European governments’ interventions justified?; (2) Can the discipline of civil law help in rethinking Islam for Muslims; and (3) Are Muslims themselves ready to critically address the use and misuse of Islam’s primary sources (the Qur’an and particularly the Hadith) in their rethinking of Islam? I argue that rather than seeking to “reform others,” in this case Muslims with an elitist attitude and sometimes violent interventions, we scholars of law and religion, scholars of Islam, policy-makers, and social justice researchers would be better off if: (1) we thought of Islam as a religio-moral rational worldview, rather than a set of laws, (2) we recognized Muslims as subject to historical transformation, like any other religious groups, and understood how they developed their present views of Islam, and (3) we considered our own real responsibilities to address the forms Ph.D., Research Fellow, Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. 391 Uris Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, [email protected].

  • Parliamentary and Municipal Elections in Bahrain 2006: Islamic Sunnis Are Leading the Second Elections in Bahrain
    Parliamentary and municipal elections in Bahrain 2006: Islamic Sunnis are leading the second elections in Bahrain 13 December 2006 The first round The results of the Bahraini parliamentary and municipal elections were a frustration to more than 25 former Bahraini deputies who re-nominated themselves. Only six of them won. The elections were frustrating also to the women. Out of 16 women candidates, only one woman won by acclaim while the other women lost. None of these women were qualified for the rerun. Meanwhile, the Islamic national Accord [Wifaq] Society won 15 seats out of a total of 26 seats. This was confirmed by the final results of the first round elections. The total number of candidates who ran for parliamentary elections reached 207 candidates who nominated themselves in 39 electoral constituencies while 13 candidates announced their withdrawal from the electoral battle. The candidates competed for 40 House of Representatives seats. Meanwhile, 171 candidates competed in the municipal elections for 40 seats in five municipal councils in Bahrain’s five governorates. Surprises as violent as a thunderbolt were reported during the elections. Most former parliamentary figures lost the election. The most important of these were the first deputy speaker of the House of Representatives Abdul Hadi Marhoon, who won 300 votes only compared to his competitor who obtained 4,000 votes. The results of the elections also showed the loss of the chairmen of the financial and foreign committees. No second Bahraini woman won. The only woman winner was Latifah al-Qu’ud who won by acclaim. Moreover, Sulaiman Abbawi, the first Christian to run for municipal elections, lost.

  • Political Islam in Algeria
    Political Islam in Algeria CEPS Working Document No. 268/May 2007 Amel Boubekeur Abstract The recent legislative elections of May 2007 in Algeria have shown how complex the evolution of Islamist parties is in this country and how crucial an understanding of these mechanisms has become for Europe. Since the civil war of the 1990s, Islamist parties have experienced increased political participation. Drawing on interviews with various Algerian Islamist actors, this paper analyses how Islamist parties are building a new relationship with democratic mechanisms in Europe. In light of these recent changes, a reconsideration of EU democracy promotion policies is now necessary.

With its unabashed defence of European supremacy and its enthusiastic celebration of the military and agricultural conquest of the land, the interwar extreme- right was steeped in the tropes of settler colonial politics. Nevertheless, its embrace of both the discourse and the practices typical of political movements in settler colonial polities was hampered by the demographic and political realities of colonial rule in French Algeria.

  • Transnational Threats to Peace and Security in the Sahel Consequences in Mali
    The Sahel region is suffering from multiple forms of recurring violence, Sahel inthe Security and toPeace Threats Transnational weak governance and political instability, which had led to numerous coups and rebellions. In 2012 the Malian government lost control over its northern regions due to the interplay of three security threats with transnational connotations: violent separatism, armed Islamism, and organised crime. This report reviews the causes, manifestations and consequences of the challenges to the state posed by these groups and their current status. It also highlights the origins of these challenges in poverty and social exposure and provides recommendations for addressing the current situation in Mali and the Sahel, noting that transnational threats must be countered by transnational measures.
