Rather what is needed is to make sure that in so far as the state has to deal with different religions and members of different religious communities, there must be a basic symmetry of treatment. It proliferates, meaning many things and nothing at all. Stephens is the only other scholar I know of in this field, aside from Joan Scott, who has made an intelligent defense of Islam. Islam is a religion that spreads across multiple continents, manifests itself in varying forms, and is expressed differently in different individuals, but when the caliphate was abolished, the ability for outsiders to place Islam as a concrete thing into a neat box became much more difficult.

  • The Church in the Square: Negotiations of Religion and Revolution at an Evangelical Church in Cairo, Egypt
    The American University in Cairo School of Humanities and Social Sciences The Church in the Square: Negotiations of Religion and Revolution at an Evangelical Church in Cairo, Egypt A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Egyptology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts In Sociology – Anthropology By Anna Jeannine Dowell Under the supervision of Dr John Schaefer May/ 2012 ABSTRACT The American University in Cairo Anna Jeannine Dowell “The Church in the Square: Negotiations of Religion and Revolution at an Evangelical Church in Cairo, Egypt” Supervised by Dr. John Schaefer In the wake of the Egyptian January 25, 2011 popular uprisings that deposed Hosni Mubarak from the presidency, youth and leaders from Kanisset Kasr el Dobara (KDEC) in Tahrir Square embarked on new and unpredictable political projects and activisms. This ethnographic study is an engagement with these new revolutionary negotiations on the part of the largest Protestant congregation in the Middle East. Using participant observation, focus groups, and interviews this research seeks to elucidate the ways that youth and leaders utilized institutionalized discourse, religious imagery, and relational networks in order to carve out a place in the Egyptian public sphere regarding public religion, national belonging, and the ideal citizen. Broadly this research seeks to understand how Evangelical Egyptians at KDEC navigated their colonial heritage and transnational character even as their leadership sought to ground the congregation in the Egyptian nation-state and in the emerging post-revolutionary political scene. I argue that these negotiations were built upon powerful paradoxes concerning liberal politics, secularism, and private versus public religion, which often implicated Evangelicals in the same questions being raised more broadly in the Egyptian political sphere concerning Islamist politics and religious minorities.

Halil Ege Ozen 5 Department of Political Science & Global Affairs, College of Staten Island, City University of New York, USA AQ1 ABSTRACT This study investigates whether individuals’ attitudes towards democracy and secular politics have any infuence on voting behaviour in Egypt. Based on data 10 from survey conducted immediately after the Egyptian parliamentary elections in January 2012, this study fnds that Egyptians’ attitudes towards democratic governance were quite negative around the parliamentary elections, yet Egyptians still endorsed democracy as the ideal political system for their country. However, empirical fndings suggest that support for democracy has a limited impact on 15 electoral results. On the other hand, the main division in Egyptian society around the frst free and fair parliamentary elections was the religious–secular cleavage. As people support secular politics more, they become signifcantly less likely to vote for Islamist parties.

  • Egyptian Discourses on Coptic Equality Thesis Presented in Partial
    “A Christian by Religion and a Muslim by Fatherland”: Egyptian Discourses on Coptic Equality Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carron White, B.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Sabra Webber, Ph.D., Advisor Morgan Liu, Ph.D. Copyright by Carron White 2011 Abstract In the discourse concerning the social and political marginalization of the Egyptian Coptic Christian community, there is a widespread assumption that a secular, liberal Egyptian state is the only type of state that will respect Coptic interests and promote democracy and equality. However, contemporary Copts in Egypt have continued to exhibit traditional attitudes towards pivotal issues such as personal status law and the limits of personal autonomy, a trend that suggests that the type of secularism supported by Copts is complex and distinctive from secularism in a Western context. These distinctions can be attributed to Egyptian cultural values that Copts share with Muslim Egyptians as a consequence of the historical experience of Coptic integration into Egyptian society. The increase in sectarian violence since the twentieth century and the pressures of an authoritarian state, along with persistent uncertainties about Egyptian identity and the divisive tenor of relevant scholarship have obscured the reality that Copts and Muslims share a particular Egyptian frame of reference. This thesis endeavors to take these circumstances into account while comparing the attitudes of Coptic intellectuals and activists with those of moderate Egyptian Islamists. While Copts and Islamists certainly differ on a number of issues, there are considerable commonalities that underscore the social and cultural integration of the Coptic community.

  • Islamic Authority: a Matter of Guardianship
    Athens Journal of Social Sciences- Volume 5, Issue 2 – Pages 167-188 Islamic Authority: A Matter of Guardianship By Abdullah F. Alrebh In modern Western political philosophy, "sovereign authority" is central to statehood, and yet it has confounded politicians, pundits, and clerics worldwide. Nevertheless, understanding sovereignty is essential in understanding authority. This paper focuses upon issues of sovereignty and authority in contemporary Muslim society, while bearing in mind the common operational definitions concerning such notions as statehood, authority, and sovereignty itself may be problematic between the West and Middle East. It is thus an attempt to understand political philosophy in the Middle East in a different way than typically found in Western philosophy. Indeed, one may even argue "democracy" has no place in Islamic heritage, but is rather a contemporary matter for Islamic jurisprudence. The foundation of Saudi Arabia in 1932 as a traditional Sunni Muslim kingdom and the Iranian revolution 1979 that brought the Shia Ayatollahs to leadership roles, offer two models of Islamic theocracy, as well as Islam’s involvement in shaping the region’s political culture. At this point, one may ask if there is any validity of Western terminology in studying an Islamic state. One may also ask of the role of national history in Saudi Arabia and Iran in terms of "democracy" and "Shura". Keywords: Secularism, Sovereignty, Theocracy, Vilayat-e Faqih, Wahhabism. Introduction Seyyed Hossein Nasr states plainly: "Today there is much talk of Islam and democracy" (Nasr 2009: 150).1 The study of religion versus secularization has been a hot button topic for many social scientists for decades.

  • Natalie Triche
    Natalie Triche Major: International and Global Studies Mentor: Brian Pennington Major: Religious Studies Minor: Middle Eastern Studies Minor: Political Science Secularism in Egypt after the Arab Spring: An Ethnographic Approach ABSTRACT The following proposal outlines methods and approaches for examining the particular nature of Egyptian secularism in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring. It employs: 1) a theory of secularism developed by the preeminent scholars of secularism that include Saba Mahmood, Charles Taylor, and Talal Asad, and, 2) an International Relations perspective on Egypt’s failed transition to democracy following the fall of the regime of Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s political landscape during 2011 and 2012 was dominated by two parties: the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and the secularist National Salvation Front. More than merely parties or coalitions, these groups embrace incompatible worldviews that divide Egyptian society and plunged Egypt into political chaos, culminating in a new era of military rule. Ethnographic and qualitative methods will aim to understand what secularism means to Egyptians of various groups and the implications of post- Arab Spring conversations about secularism for Egyptian democracy. PERSONAL STATEMENT Growing up, I loved to read. My favorite book was The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall, which describes the adventurous life of a family of four daughters and a father, with emphasis on the varied personalities of the girls. The sisters symbolize confidence, and after reading the story, I had a burning desire to become as self-sure as the sisters. Entering high school, I realized that education is the means to develop the confidence of the Penderwicks. My junior year of high school was formative to my academic path.

  • Muslim Politics & Democracy
    MUSLIM POLITICS & DEMOCRACY – AN ANALYSIS OF THE ARAB SPRING by Brittany Foster A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master Arts in Government. Baltimore, Maryland May, 2014 © 2014 Brittany Foster All Rights Reserved MUSLIM POLITICS & DEMOCRACY – AN ANALYSIS OF THE ARAB SPRING Abstract The Arab Spring was a phenomenon that shocked the international community. Starting with Tunisia in December of 2010, the citizens of Egypt, Libya, and Iran all voiced dissatisfaction with their governing leaders within the same period. The massive protests and demonstrations that broke out would soon prove to be different from the protests that occurred in the 1970s. What the world witnessed from December 2010 to February 2011 were calls for the resignation of authoritarian leaders and a new democratic government. The calls symbolized a new wave of potential Muslim democracies that would test the U.S. theory of liberal democracy. Today, Muslim democracies in the Arab world are marginal due to a lack of sustainability. Further, the development of these countries democratic transitions could determine the future of Muslim democracies in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. The chain reaction of events in the Arab Spring showed the world that the citizens were ready to regain control over their countries. After decades of being under authoritarian regimes, why did the uprisings occur at that time and what implications did they have on the future of Muslim democracies? This research question is explored in three chapters that examine and analyze the potential answers. The chapters draw upon theory, scholarly writings, and international news sources.

  • Maryam El-Shall:"Salafi Utopia: the Making of the Islamic State"
    Salafi Utopia: The Making of the Islamic State Maryam El-Shall I. Introduction "Every new generation is getting worse." -- Hadith1 of the Prophet Muhammad "Now our policy is to reform the people, not the regime." -- Khaled al-Fauwaz, Saudi Salaf2 The context of political Islam's rise, particularly the Salafi branch, is regarded by many in the West as the key to understanding its true purpose. The politicization of Salafi movements was a response to colonialism, intended to exert pressure to end foreign domination. A major part of Islamist political movements is the call to faith, which lies close to the heart of all Muslims whether or not they are Islamists. The Islamist movement is essentially, then, a call to abide by the religious principles that are already deeply embedded in the consciousness of the majority.3 Yet many accounts of Salafism, even by Salafis themselves, fail to address the interior psychological drive underlying the movement -- what I call the imagination at its base. Though Salafism relies on the Copyright © 2006 by Maryam El-Shall and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 El-Shall 2 reconstruction (through politics and culture -- material reality) of a past historical moment in the present, few scholars have addressed the role of memory in the construction of Salafi political and social realities. The Salafi project of a global return to a Golden Age of Islam (something of a utopia4 in the Muslim imagination embodying both a political totality as well as a Foucauldian episteme) reflects a widespread fear in the Muslim ummah5 of spiritual corruption and, because the ummah is defined by its shared spiritual faith,6 the loss of unity and identity.

  • Persecution of Coptic Christians in Modern Egypt by Alla Rubinstein
    H UMAN R IGHTS & H UMAN W ELFARE Persecution of Coptic Christians in Modern Egypt By Alla Rubinstein The Christian community of Egypt dates back to the seventeenth century and comprises 12 per cent of the population today. As one of the oldest churches of the world, the Coptic Christian Church, first formed in Alexandria, has stood resilient and faithful to its traditions against intolerance, siege and persecutions. Having been present in most institutions of the state among the overwhelmingly Sunni-Muslim population, Copts are not new to the slow process of Islamization that Egypt has been undergoing for the last twenty years. What has been unique to the recent Coptic experience is the forced integration of Shari’a law by organized, violent fundamentalist groups— such as the Muslim Brotherhood. These groups have permeated political and social aspects of life, creating the worst suffering in Coptic modern history according to the Church. Dismissed as episodic, the state is unresponsive to the persistent violence and discrimination against Christians voiced daily. Fitna ta-ifiyya, or sectarian tensions, have digressed from historical peaceful coexistence to stereotyping and ostracization of Copts by the Muslim community. The US State Department notes in a recent report that religious freedom is deteriorating throughout Egypt and human rights violations, including discrimination, abuse, imprisonment, and violence, have risen significantly. A great grievance of the Coptic minority is that they hold few positions in national government and no high-ranking posts as governors, mayors, or police chiefs to oppose parties who claim that the Quran is their constitution. Political Islam has been an influential factor in the sociopolitical scene, its agenda being pushed into professional circles, including university posts, military activities, and the media.

  • Egyptian and Israeli Nationalism: a View Into the Relationship Between Nationalism and Violence*
    RIVIER ACADEMIC JOURNAL, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 1, SPRING 2007 EGYPTIAN AND ISRAELI NATIONALISM: A VIEW INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATIONALISM AND VIOLENCE* Jason Andrukaitis** Undergraduate student, B.A. in English Program, Rivier College Abstract This paper attempts to explore the relationship between nationalism and fundamentalism, paying close attention to the historical and cultural influences that affect this relationship in both Egypt and Israel. In addition, this paper will review the events leading up to Egypt’s more traditional sense of nationalism, and Israel’s religious centered nationalism in order to give the reader an historical perspective from which to view and consider the link between nationalism and violence. Introduction Nationalism has been a dominating force in Europe, both politically and militarily, since the turn of the 19th century, but only recently has it been introduced to the Middle East. Nationalism has been defined by Merriam-Webster as, “sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.” While the secular west makes the connection between nationalism and culture, nationalism in the Middle East has been rooted more firmly in religion and ethnicity and given less of an attachment to other aspects of culture. The contrast between Egypt and Israel reveals that countries with a more western model of nationalism tend to breed less religious fundamentalism and terrorism than those countries that connect nationalism to a religion. Egypt and Israel will act as models of the two types of nationalism in the Middle East, which this paper will explore.
