BRAEFORD'SMUSLIM COMMUNITIESAND THE EEPR[EOCTICN AND BEPAES ATICN CF ISLAM PHILIP JCHN LWS "Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy" ""The'University of Leeds"- Department of Theology and Religious Studies June 1993 }ý,, ý"4ý"ý}i; This thesis studies the creation of Bradford's Muslim communities, in particular the impact of migration on Islamic identity. To this end it begins by mapping the contours of Islamic expression in South Asia, especially the development of distinct maslak, discrete schools of Islamic thought and practice. These were, in part, a response to the imposition of British imperialism in India. The settlers from South Asia also came from a variety of areas, with their own histories, regional languages and cultures. The ethos and character of Islam, which is shared by different sects, is studied unself- consciously at work in the establishment of Muslim communities in Bradford, generating separate residential zones and a network of businesses and institutions, religious and cultural, developed to service their specific needs. The leadership, resources and ethos which the different maslak could draw on, and the institutions they created to reproduce the Islamic tradition in the city are explored and the extent to which these connect with the new cultural and linguistic world of young British Muslims. Attention is then focused on the education, status, functions and influence of the 'ulama, critical carriers of the Islamic tradition in this new context. The role of the Bradford Council for Mosques is examined both as a bearer of the Islamic impulse to unity, transcending the regional, linguistic and sectarian differences, and as an emerging authority, locally and nationally. The study concludes by exploring the challenges facing Muslims - youth, gender, intellectual tradition, and da'wa, invitation to Islam - as British'-expressions of Islam struggle to birth.

The CRP proved a congenial-and-appropriate context fora thesis concerned to explore the contours of Islamic identity°as they were emerging within the consolidating Muslim communities of Bradford. This-involved a; consideration of the In-pact-of-migration, both asa precipitant. of cormmnity formation and as generating a new problematictof= reproducing the Islamic tradition in an alien environment. -=The,ri- enormity of the-task facingýMuslims can be realised when}it'is -;. " remembered that, the majority of settlers were possessed of-, little -, formal education and came'fran rural areas in South Asia where Islam was the majority, religion. Thirty years later, their children and grandchildren-are British,: urban and educated in a context where they are a religious minority. The task of transmission and appropriation of a religious tradition in such a context, a dynamic process involving change and continuity, is the focus of the thesis. While this task conforms to two of the three declared aims of CRP I hope that it-will incidentally contribute an illuminating-case-study to clarify 'the relationship between religion and ethnicity', the third concern of the project, (Knott, 1984, p. 6). Here 'religious: studies' as a discrete field of"study, albeit multidisciplinary drawing on the humanities and increasingly the social sciences, has a particular contribution to make (&nart, 1990, Knott, 1992). -'It can complement the works of social scientists who traditionally, in-their studies of Bradford either focus on one 'ethnic' cornnunity, -usually the Mirpuris, or use categories of nationality - Pakistan i-. as¶an organising principle (Dahya, 1974, Khan, 1977). Such works have 'failed to provide plausible accounts of the role and significance of religions In-the lives of-the groups they have described', ... _(Knott, 1992, pp. -4-5). A 'religious studies' perspective is more alert to the commonalities across ethnic boundaries generated by a shared, faith. Such solidarities are often given organisational and 2 institutional expression,, locally,. nationally and internationally. These networks°and. trans-national links can often escape the- focusing attention of the sociologist and social anthropologist when on one ethnic minority. This is particularly-'the case in social science disciplines which are still inclined to view 'religion as the passive'instrument of ethnic identity' (ibid., p. 12). My own interest in Islam in South Asia and the challenge facing Muslim cormwnities in Bradford is rooted in two facts. Firstly, I spent>six enjoyable years inTakistan at the Christian Studies Centre,, an ecumenical institute committed to improving Christian- Muslim relations in a country where Christians number"three-. or four per cent of the population. For three-years as a; research student and then a further three years as a, member of'staff I had the-opportunity to study Islamic belief and practice variously expressed in a modern Muslim state. The focus of my research was contemporary, }lived Islam. This experience has confirmed for me the contention that 'nobody-can now write with meaning about the world of Islam if; he does not bring. to it'some sense of a living relationship-with those. of whom he writes' (Hourani, 1991, p. 4). I also began to-understand-the feelings and anxieties of a religious minority,,,, in. this case Pakistani Christians. -'I., Ir The second fact is that after-leaving the Christian Study Centre I, began working for the Anglican diocese of'Bradford in 1985. As an Adviser on Inter-faith Issues L was able to develop my interest in( Christian-Muslim relations 'in the city, - a situation where. Muslims'are in the minority and share many of the-fears and anxieties of Christians in Pakistan. The research for this thesis was formally undertaken between1988 and 1992. This period represents. a watershed in the developing identity of the Muslim communities locally and nationally. It, includes both The Satanic Verses affair and the Gulf crisis-when Muslims became the focus of unprecedented media interest and suspicion. My, hope Is that this thesis, by documenting the diversity and debate within the Muslim communities in Bradford, will to contribute exploding the myth of the-supposed existence of a., monolithic, undifferentiated 'fundamentalist' Islam. In this way I 3 will begin to discharge my debt, to, Muslim_friendsý, in, ýthe city°without;. whose active co-operation-I could not-have written the--thesis., ME UROLOGY AND PERSPECTIVES INFORMING RESEARCH Religious studies remains eclectic in its methodologynand ethos.

In sum, comparative study of religions is regarded as one of the great contributions of Muslim’s civilization to mankind’s intellectual progress.

  • Religious Extremism and Sectarianism in Pakistan: JRSP, Vol
    Religious Extremism and Sectarianism in Pakistan: JRSP, Vol. 58, No 2 (April-June 2021) Samina Yasmeen1 Fozia Umar2 Religious Extremism and Sectarianism in Pakistan: An Appraisal Abstract Pakistan, which was created on the basis of religion have had to face sectarian violence and religious intolerance from the very beginning. This article offers an in-depth analysis of sectarianism and religious intolerance and their direct role in the current chaotic state of Pakistan. This article revolves around the two main research questions including the role of religion in the state of Pakistan as well as the evidences depicting sectarian violence in Pakistan. The main objective is to analyze the future situation of the rampant sectarian condition in the society and to study the role of Pakistan’s government so far. Qualitative methodology using primary as well as secondary sources are used to gather the data. Post-dictatorship era, after 2007, is being analyzed in this article, keeping in view the history of sectarian violence, future and stability of the state. Last comments lead to the recommendations and ways to tackle the sectarian divide and religious extremism. The researchers conclude that religion is core at the Pakistan’s nationalism however, religious extremism weakens national and social cohesion and also divides loyalties. There is a need for strict blasphemy laws, banning hate speeches which incites the violence and most importantly, eradicating poverty and unemployment, so no foreign elements can bribe anyone for sectarian terror within the state. Introduction Pakistan was a country that was created on the basis of religion, its main goal was to provide a homeland for Muslims where they will live in freedom and harmony and it was established that it will be governed according to the principles set by Islam.

However, largely limited to studying the dyadic ties between the immigrant-sending and -receiving countries, research thus far has overlooked how sociopolitics in places beyond, but in relation to, the homeland and hostland can also shape immigrants’ identities. This dissertation addresses this gap by introducing a more comprehensive analytical design—the multicentered relational framework—that encompasses global political contexts in the immigrants’ homeland, hostland, and “elsewhere.” Based primarily on sixty interviews and a year’s worth of ethnographic data on Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Indian Muslims in California, I trace how different dimensions of the immigrants’ “Muslim” identity category tie them to different “elsewhere” contexts.

    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice.

  • The Muslim Manifesto (1990)
    THE MUSLIM MANIFESTO (1990) - www.kalimsiddiqui.com Publisher’s introduction The Muslim Manifesto was published by the Muslim Institute at a conference on ‘The Future of Muslims in Britain’ held by in Logan Hall, the Institute of Education, London, on 14 July 1990. It was the result of several months of consultations with leading Muslim community figures in Britain, led by Dr. Kalim Siddiqui, Director of the Muslim Institute. It aimed to provide out “a common text THE defining the Muslim situation in Britain”, and proposed the creation of a range of community institutions under a ‘Council of British MUSLIM Muslims’. It was this proposal that led to the establishment of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain, inaugurated in January 1992. MANIFESTO The writing of the Muslim Manifesto emerged from the Satanic Verses controversy, in which Dr. Siddiqui became a spokesman for the British Muslims’ anger and frustration, and a defender of their - a strategy for survival position in the face of attacks from the literary and political establishments, and the mass media. From the outset of the controversy, while others were focused on the book and its author, Dr Siddiqui understood the broader implications for the position of Muslims in Britain, and sought to channel Muslim energies to constructive programs for the future benefit of the community. The Muslim Parliament was still in its early stages at the time of Dr Siddiqui’s death in 1996, and unfortunately did not long survive him.
