  • Sharia in the City Negotiation and Construction of Moral Space
    SHARIA IN THE CITY NEGOTIATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF MORAL SPACE BY SHARIF ISLAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Junaid Rana Associate Professor Assata Zerai ABSTRACT This dissertation is primarily concerned with how sharia is practiced by Muslims from a variety of backgrounds in Chicago’s Devon Avenue and how they co-construct physical and moral spaces. More specifically, I am interested in how sharia as a divine, non- contingent moral and legal code is understood and analyzed in various contingent situations and everyday settings such as producing, distributing, marketing and consuming halal food products. Drawing on conversations with residents, employees, and customers who visit stores in Devon Avenue, as well as archival research, my aim is to demonstrate the various multifaceted understandings and implications of sharia for Muslims in the United States. I argue that the multifaceted interpretations and practices of sharia in the United States are connected with the rhythms and everyday practices of Chicago and beyond. These connections, rhythms, and practices are reflected and interpreted in the actions and comments of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The goal here is not just to show that the religious (for instance, sharia) and the non- religious/secular (grocery stores, restaurants, farms) are intertwined but to what extent these seemingly separate and disparate domains and spaces may be concurrently called upon within the framework of Islam, sharia, and halal food.

    A-PDF Merger DEMO : Purchase from www.A-PDF.com to remove the watermark STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR STERILIZATION OF STRAY DOGS UNDER THE ANIMAL BIRTH CONTROL PROGRAMME Compiled by Animal Welfare Board of India Animal Birth Control (ABC) & Anti-Rabies Programme is being implemented in almost all major metros of India Over 1 lakh stray dogs are sterilized & vaccinated against rabies every year under the Animal Birth Control (2001) Dog Rules The Animal Birth Control Programme is currently being implemented in over 60 cities all over India, including major metros like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jodhpur and Kalimpoong. In Tamil Nadu & Goa, since 2007, the Animal Birth Control and Anti-Rabies Vaccination Programme has been successfully implemented for the entire state. This has led to Tamil Nadu state pioneering a new concept of a Participatory Model of the ABC Programme in 50 Municipalities and 5 Municipal Corporations, with 50% cost sharing by local bodies on participatory basis. Similarly, the Union Territory of Delhi too has adopted the Participatory Model of the ABC Programme since 2008. Tamil Nadu has also been at the forefront of rabies control initiatives, having constituted the country’s first State level Coordination Committee on Rabies Control and Prevention in January, 2009, with the first meeting held on April 20th, 2009. The Animal Welfare Board of India is promoting such initiatives throughout the country. In all Metros, where the ABC Programme has been successfully implemented in India, a significant reduction in the number of human rabies cases has been noted. The Animal Birth Control Programme is the only scientifically proven method to reduce the stray dog population in a city or town.

We identify, investigate, counsel and prosecute the offenders wherever necessary. Listed below are the highlights of some of the noteworthy cruelty prevention work by PFA Hyderabad this quarter: OPERATION KARUNA On the 4th of June, 87 camels that were being taken for slaughter were spotted by a PFA volunteer.
