  • The Institutionalization of Islam in Europe and the Diyanet: the Case of Austria
    The Institutionalization of Islam in Europe and the Diyanet: The Case of Austria Zana ÇİTAK* Abstract The management of religious diversity has become one of the most significant issues facing European societies in the last few decades. The increasing use of religion as an instrument of immigration poli- cies in Europe since the late 1980s has led to various trajectories of institutionalization of Islam in European countries. In an increasing number of cases, institutionalization of Islam entails, among other things, the establishment of Muslim representative institutions. On the other hand, as it has transformed itself, since the early 1980s, from a domestic instrument of control over religion to an external instrument to consolidate national unity among indigenous or im- migrant Turkish communities beyond its borders, the organizations linked to the Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs (the Diyanet) has become an important actor in various Muslim representative institutions in Europe. This article examines the case of the institu- tionalization of Islam in Austria with a particular focus on the role of the Diyanet in the Islamische Glaubensgemeinschaft in Österreich- IGGiÖ (Islamic Religious Community in Austria). An analysis of the Diyanet’s role in and its perception of the institutionalization of Islam in Austria demonstrates both the advantages and difficulties that the Diyanet faces in promoting ‘Turkish Islam’ in Europe. Keywords: Institutionalization, Islam, Austria, Turkey, Diyanet Avrupa’da İslam’ın Kurumsallaşması ve Diyanet: Avusturya Örneği Özet Dini çeşitliliğin yönetişimi meselesi son birkaç on yıldır Avrupa top- lumlarının en önemli gündem maddelerinden biri olmuştur. Avrupa ülkelerinde 1980’lerden beri dinin göç politikalarında gittikçe artan bir şekilde bir siyaset aracı olarak kullanılması İslam’ın farklı kurum- * Assoc.

This early recognition of Islam thus established the basis for an orderly and respectful co- existence. Present-day experience illustrates that the structures that have devel- oped over 100 years and govern the way in which Muslims and the Austrian state cooperate and interact with each other are of decisive benefit in solving inter-faith and inter-cultural issues. The Islam Act of 1912 established the basis for the official recognition of Islam as a religious denomination in Austria. It is a special feature of Austrian law that the granting of legal recognition to a religious community is linked with its recogni- tion as a legal entity under public law.

  • Religion and the Secular State in the Netherlands
    SOPHIE VAN BIJSTERVELD Religion and the Secular State in the Netherlands I. INTRODUCTION: THE CURRENT SOCIAL CONTEXT The relationship between religion and the secular state has again become a hotly debated topic, not only in academia, but also in politics, in the mass media, on the Internet, and in the workplace. An obvious reason for the renewed interest in the relationship between religion and the secular state in the Netherlands is the strongly perceived presence of Islam, and, in the slipstream thereof, what is often referred to as the „re-emergence” of religion in general. However, the notion of “re-emergence” ignores the fact that religion has never been away. Perhaps taken for granted by many, the presence of Christian and Jewish denominations has always been a strong undercurrent in Dutch society. Also, the presence of Islam in the Netherlands dates back some forty years, and its entry into the Netherlands did not go unnoticed. In the early days, the interest in Islam manifested itself mainly through concern for issues such as the availability of houses of worship, possibilities for taking a day off on religious holidays, or enabling Islamic burial rites. No doubt, important changes have taken place in the domain of religion. However, the revival of interest in religion and the relationship between religion and the secular state is the result of a combination of changes, rather than just the presence of Islam or the increased visibility of religion in general. Apart from developments in the religious domain, such as Islam and a renewed self-consciousness and vitality in the Christian world – including those of immigrant churches, and the sprawl of new forms of religious consciousness and practice, which are not linked to a church – other factors are as relevant.

  • The Digital Crusades: the Media and Western European Nationalists
    The Digital Crusades: The Media and Western European Nationalists http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2012/06/01/progres-et-reculs-du-vote- front-national_1711219_823448.html Haydn Rippon Principal Supervisor: Dr. Lee Duffield Associate Supervisor: Ass. Pro. Susan Carson Queensland University of Technology 2016 Abstract This thesis investigates the strategic media practices of the ‘new nationalist’ political parties and social movements in contemporary Western Europe. It refers to an extensive literature, interviews and a review of media artefacts related to these political parties and social movements, to establish how they achieved substantial public support in the present era. It uses four case studies, being three political parties and one activist social movement: the French Front National (FN), the Flemish Vlaams Belang (VB), Danish Dansk Folkeparti (DF) and the Europeanist-regionalist social movement, Bloc Identitaire (BI). The thesis draws on the work of Cas Mudde, who defines the parties as authoritarian, nativist and populist – referred to as ANPs in this research. It describes the central concern of the case study subjects with Islam in Europe, and their developing of the issue to gain support. In this monograph the broad issue, ‘Islam’, takes in mass immigration into Europe, integration or otherwise of Muslim populations, and the associated tensions. The research comes at a point when the party family is at a ‘tipping point’, with the growth of a political zeitgeist that is supportive of their broad thrust by an increasing number of voters in most of Europe, and this research considers the ANPs’ own efforts in the media field to be a contributing factor to the development of that zeitgeist.

  • Muslim Teachers Dealing with Controversial Contemporary Topics
    religions Article Islamic Religious Education in Contemporary Austrian Society: Muslim Teachers Dealing with Controversial Contemporary Topics Mehmet H. Tuna Department of Islamic Theology and Religious Education, School of Education, University of Innsbruck, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria; [email protected] Received: 5 June 2020; Accepted: 28 July 2020; Published: 30 July 2020 Abstract: Muslims in Austria have, since 1982/83, had the unique privilege of providing Islamic religious education in secular public schools, including primary, middle and secondary schools. As well as opportunities, this privilege brings responsibilities and challenges to the Muslim community. Since its beginnings, Islamic religious education in Austria has, among other things, been especially characterized by the heterogeneity and diversity of its participants, as well as the general diversity in society and the secular context of public schools. In this context, theoretical discussions about the orientation of and justification for Islamic religious education in secular public schools suggest that for both teachers and the subject itself, an awareness, appreciation and inclusion of diversity, dialogue, multi-perspectivity and reflexivity is required. The empirical study on the professionalization of Islamic religious education, drawn on in this article, is based on Muslim teachers’ own perspectives and experiences. The research findings of that study show how Muslims become Islamic religious education teachers, how Muslim teachers see their roles in secular public schools, how they teach and approach Islam or Islamic topics, what the challenges of teaching Islamic education in public schools are, and other related topics. This article (re-)analyzes used and unused data from the study and focuses on how diversity and controversial topics can be approached in the context of Islamic religious education.
