Letter from the President Spring 2007 Dear Colleagues, This year we celebrate the WHA’s 25th anniversary. Thanks to the vision of the founding members and the work of countless others committed to the goals of our organization we have grown and flourished, initiating and supporting world history teaching, research, and publications. Over the past sixteen years, our annual conferences have embodied the WHA’s commitment to support teach- ing and scholarship. Last year’s conference in Long Beach, California was our largest to date in terms of atten- dance and number of offerings, and this year’s conference, “Expanding Horizons, Collapsing Frontiers: the Macro and Micro in World History,” promises to be the best yet. Currently, our website features information about this, our 16th annual World History Association conference to be held in Milwaukee from June 28 through July 1. It will feature two exciting keynote speakers, a wide assortment of panels, workshops, roundtables, visual demonstrations, and a full complement of exhibits of textbooks and other instruction-related materials. In addition to bringing us the most recent world history scholarship and pedagogy, the conference is an oppor- tunity for us to come together as scholars and teachers. The three receptions, three continental breakfasts, and periodic refreshment breaks — all included in the registration fee — will give us further opportunities to get together. In addition, our conference will be held during Milwaukee’s Summerfest, the World’s Largest Music Festival, which is within walking distance of the conference site. Al Andrea’s article elsewhere in this Bulletin gives further, detailed information about the conference. Be sure to join us to celebrate the WHA’s 25th birth- day. Please take a look at our newly redesigned website, www.thewha.org. It contains information about the confer- ence, and you can register on-line. Continuing efforts to improve the site to make it more accessible and up- to-date have produced a more useful and attractive resource for our members and those interested in learning about the WHA. Using our website can also raise money for the WHA at no expense to users. Look for the link to Amazon.com on our site. When you use the WHA as a portal to purchase materials from Amazon, the company will donate money to the WHA for each purchase you make, at no cost to you. Help the WHA by making your Amazon purchases through our site. As always, I invite your comments and active participation in the WHA. Our organization can continue to grow and better serve its members nationally and internationally with your help. If you are willing to join a commit- tee, run for office, or work on a project, please let me know at [email protected]. And be sure to join us in Milwaukee to celebrate an important 25th birthday. Sincerely, Michele Museum that evening for the reduced fee of $8. WHA Conferences, 2006, 2007, 2008 Other receptions at the Long Beach conference were sponsored by CSULB on Friday evening and by College Board AP World History on A. J. Andrea Saturday evening. Each was a rousing success. For the first time, a BBQ luncheon was offered, free of charge, to all participants, thanks to the generosity of McGraw Hill Publishers. The The annual June conferences held by the WHA have traditionally been and Committee faced a crisis-in-the-making: CSULB’s public food facilities remain the organization’s major venue for bringing together members and were shut down on Saturday.

For each review returned before the end of the conference, Pearson Prentice Hall donated $25 to the WHA.

    2 | Who Wants the Caliphate? ​ ​ ​ Author Biography Dr. Ovamir Anjum is Imam Khattab Endowed Chair of Islamic Studies at the ​ Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Toledo. He obtained his Ph.D. in Islamic history in the Department of History, University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work focuses on the nexus of theology, ethics, politics and law in Islam, with comparative interest in Western thought. His interests are united by a common theoretical focus on epistemology or views of intellect/reason in various domains of Islamic thought, ranging from politics (siyasa), law (fiqh), ​ ​ ​ ​ theology (kalam), falsafa (Islamic philosophy) and spirituality (Sufism, mysticism, ​ ​ ​ and asceticism). Author of Politics, Law and Community in Islamic Thought: The Taymiyyan ​ Moment (Cambridge University Press, 2012), Dr. Anjum has also translated a ​ popular Islamic spiritual and theological classic, Madarij al-Salikin (Ranks of ​ ​ Divine Seekers) by Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 1351); the first two volumes to be published by Brill later this year. His current projects include a multi-volume survey of Islamic history and a monograph on Islamic political thought.

  • The Strategic Landscape: Avoiding Future Generations of Violent Extremists by Kathleen Meilahn

    The Strategic Landscape: Avoiding Future Generations of Violent Extremists by Kathleen Meilahn

    The Strategic Landscape: Avoiding Future Generations of Violent Extremists by Kathleen Meilahn Strategic Insights is a bi-monthly electronic journal produced by the Center for Contemporary Conflict at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The views expressed here are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of NPS, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Introduction This article addresses the global environment, with a specific focus on U.S. Central Command’s (USCENTCOM’s) Area of Operations (AOR), and it contemplates the question: How can we avoid losing the next generation to Violent Extremists (VE)? It focuses on Islamic VEs, both Sunni and Shi’ia, addresses the Human Terrain and seeks to identify individual’s personal motivations. This article does not state official USCENTCOM policy or opinions. Today, the United States’ primary national security challenge centers around a problem that, should we “get it wrong,” will have transcendent implications. Terrorism and violence have plagued humankind throughout history, but now the world finds itself at yet another critical juncture. The terror challenge is the nexus of a multiplicity of issues that lead toward it, like the spokes on a wheel lead from the rim to the hub. Alternatively, terrorist vision can inform a multiplicity of issues and lead outward toward the rim, out to where the rubber meets the road. In contrast to ongoing efforts to understand the enemy’s extremist theological ideology, there has been less energy devoted to understanding the radicalization process or to understand what leads individuals to become radicalized and act out in violence or terror, or to understand the impact of U.S.

  • Islamic Psychology

    Islamic Psychology

    Islamic Psychology Islamic Psychology or ilm an-nafs (science of the soul) is an important introductory textbook drawing on the latest evidence in the sub-disciplines of psychology to provide a balanced and comprehensive view of human nature, behaviour and experience. Its foundation to develop theories about human nature is based upon the writings of the Qur’an, Sunnah, Muslim scholars and contemporary research findings. Synthesising contemporary empirical psychology and Islamic psychology, this book is holistic in both nature and process and includes the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of human behaviour and experience. Through a broad and comprehensive scope, the book addresses three main areas: Context, perspectives and the clinical applications of applied psychology from an Islamic approach. This book is a core text on Islamic psychology for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those undertaking continuing professional development courses in Islamic psychology, psychotherapy and counselling. Beyond this, it is also a good supporting resource for teachers and lecturers in this field. Dr G. Hussein Rassool is Professor of Islamic Psychology, Consultant and Director for the Riphah Institute of Clinical and Professional Psychology/Centre for Islamic Psychology, Pakistan. He is accountable for the supervision and management of the four psychology departments, and has responsibility for scientific, educational and professional standards, and efficiency. He manages and coordinates the RICPP/Centre for Islamic Psychology programme of research and educational development in Islamic psychology, clinical interventions and service development, and liaises with the Head of the Departments of Psychology to assist in the integration of Islamic psychology and Islamic ethics in educational programmes and development of research initiatives and publication of research.

    The Role of Christian Privilege in the College Experiences of Jewish and Muslim Undergraduates

    IT’S A CHRISTIAN WORLD: THE ROLE OF CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE IN THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCES OF JEWISH AND MUSLIM UNDERGRADUATES By Brianna K. Becker A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education – Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT IT’S A CHRISTIAN WORLD: THE ROLE OF CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE IN THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCES OF JEWISH AND MUSLIM UNDERGRADUATES By Brianna K. Becker This qualitative study explored the role of Christian privilege in the college experiences of Jewish and Muslim undergraduates at one large public, land grant, research intensive university, a predominantly white institution (PWI) in the Midwest. I interviewed 13 participants, seven Muslims (four women, three men) and six Jews (three women, three men), about their experiences in college, how Christian privilege appeared (or did not) in those experiences, and how and if they defined Christian privilege for themselves. Through narrative inquiry, in single session, semi-structured interviews, I gathered the stories of these 13 participants and the role of Christian privilege in their college experiences at Midwest University (MU). This study provides an in depth exploration of what was in the current news when this study was conducted and written up regarding Jews and Muslims in the United States and particularly in higher education. A full chapter is dedicated to a history of religion, particularly Christianity and especially Protestantism, in the United States (and colonial America) and its higher education using Roger Geiger’s (2005) “The Ten Generations of American Higher Education” and Douglas Jacobsen and Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen’s (2012) No Longer Invisible: Religion in University Education as guideposts for understanding that history.

May the Prophet Muhammad be mentioned within the heavens amongst Allah’s Angels. May he, his family and all of his followers be blessed and guided. This is a beginner’s book of ‘hadith’ to enable Muslim youth to learn more about the statements, manners and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. The narrations in this booklet have been selected based upon their authenticity, comprehensiveness (manners, creed, and virtues, and jurisprudence), their clarity, and ease for the beginner to read, understand, memorize and practice in their daily lives. The narrations are arranged in order of the four rightly guided caliphs, except for the first hadith which is the hadith of Umar ibn al Khattab ‘Actions are by intention’. I chose to start this compilation with this hadith as a reminder to purify our intentions and to make sure that we rectify our intentions before everything that we do.
