  • Faces of American Islam
    Faces of American Islam By DANIEL PIPES AND KHALID DURAN yjT JUR RESPECTIVE BOOKSHELVES groan under the weight of M I I books bearing titles like Islam and the ^est, The Future of m / Islam and the West, and The Islamic World and the West. • X What is striking about these books — all quite recently writ- V_^^ ten and published -^ is the anachronism of their geographic premise. With millions of Muslims now living in the West, especially in North America and Western Europe, the old dichotomy of Islam and the West exists no more. This presence of Muslims in the West has profound importance for both civilizations involved, the Western and the Islamic, and has a potential for both good and ill. Indeed, looking ahead, it is hard to see any other cultural interaction quite so fraught with implications as this one. As has become evident of late, a vast number of Muslims, those living in Europe and the Americas no less than those elsewhere, harbor an intense hostihty to the West. For most Muslims, this mix of envy and resentment remains a latent sentiment, but for some it acquires operational significance. Merely to conjure the names of AyatoUah Khomeini, Muammar Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and Osama bin Laden is to convey the power of this Daniel Pipes (www.danielpipes.org) is director of the Middle East Forum.

  • Seeking to Advance Muslim-Jewish Relations: Selected Highlights
    Copyright 2008 American Jewish Committee Seeking to Advance Muslim-Jewish Relations: Selected Highlights The American Jewish Committee has demonstrated a profound commitment to enhancing relations between Jews and Muslims, a vital part of its fundamental dedication to the promotion of interreligious understanding in the United States and around the world. Rejecting the inevitability of a "clash of civilizations," AJC has instead insisted on the possibility of a "community of civilizations" by encouraging dialogue on the highest levels with like-minded groups committed to fostering tolerance and cooperation. In so doing, we have achieved a number of breakthroughs in this vital arena. Ongoing Activities Political and diplomatic outreach to Arab and Muslim leaders worldwide For well over a decade, AJC has dedicated itself to forging significant relationships with Arab and Muslim leaders around the world. AJC has traveled extensively in the Muslim world - from Morocco to Mauritania, through the Middle East and the Gulf states, to Indonesia. We have met with scores of Muslim leaders, including top officials of Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Tunisia, Bosnia, Kuwait, Qatar, Malaysia, and Indonesia, to discuss topics ranging from relations with Israel and the United States to the promotion of international Muslim-Jewish dialogue. Reaching out to Muslim communities in the United States As part of a proud tradition of extensive intergroup and interreligious work, AJC's chapters have worked in cities around the country toward advancing Muslim-Jewish ties. Chapters have been at the forefront in responding to hate crimes and in pressing for local legislation to deter them. In addition, chapters have played an important role in preparing and following up on national conferences and meetings with Muslim leaders and academics.

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? Although the number of Muslims in the United States is much disputed, with a low of one million and a high of ten million, no one disputes their growth. In part, the increase results from continuing large numbers of immigrants; in part from conversions; and in part from high birth rates. A small Muslim immigration, mainly from Lebanon and Syria, has — been underway for over a century, but the first known mosque today called — the "Mother Mosque of America" was built only in 1925 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

  • Toward and Abrahamic Family Reunion
    2009 Th 531 Toward an Abrahamic Family Reunion: Issues of Religion and Identity* Wednesday Afternoon: 3:00 – 5:50 PM Room: Carney 103 Instructors: Rev. Raymond Helmick, SJ and Dr. Rodney Petersen, Dr. Abdel-Rahman Mohamed and Rabbi Sanford Seltzer, with Guest Lecturer Jerome Maryon, Esq. I. Course Description Jews, Christians and Muslims are commonly referred to as members of the Abrahamic family of faith since each faith claims Abraham as its progenitor. Christianity and Judaism experienced a "parting of the ways" during the inception and development of Christianity. Islam emerged as a further prophecy and self perceived clarification of earlier prophetic witness in the seventh century. (622 CE) The purpose of this course is to explore initial family relationships, what factors contributed to the emergence of separate communities of belief and practice, often in conflict with one another despite their common ancestry, and the role played by these conflicts in the shaping of critical historic periods. Today deep issues of religious identity that are either specific to this family of faiths or particularly exacerbated by the nature of the relationships between them are at the heart of current political and military tensions in the Middle East and elsewhere. The inter- religious team that teaches this course will explore the social and religious dynamics of these situations, drawing upon the different but related traditions of scripture, comparative religion, theology, mysticism, history, philosophy, diplomacy and law. It is clear that Abrahamic family relations will have enormous implications for the shaping of the 21st century for good or for ill. * This course title is taken from the Fetzer Institute Project of this name and is being developed with their encouragement.

  • Gender, Sexuality and Ethnicity in Contemporary France
    Immigration and Sexual Citizenship: Gender, Sexuality and Ethnicity in Contemporary France Mehammed Amadeus Mack Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mehammed Amadeus Mack All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dissertation Title: “Immigration and Sexual Citizenship: Gender, Sexuality and Ethnicity in Contemporary France” Mehammed Amadeus Mack This dissertation considers discourses bearing on the social dynamics of immigration and postcolonial diversity in contemporary France in light of their interconnections with issues of sexuality and assimilation. Synthesizing and building on recent work by anthropologists, sociologists and cultural theorists it explores the current debate over French identity--a debate that has to a considerable extent revolved around the impact of recent postwar immigration to France and the "integration" of immigrants on the cultural level, and of which a recent symptom has been the Sarkozy government's launch of a public national debate about "l'identité nationale" (national identity). Overall, my project focuses on the intermingling of the cultural and the political in cultural representations of immigrants and their descendants. Specifically, I consider the highly charged terrain of the representation of sexuality. In the discourse on laïcité (secularism) and integration, gender norms and tolerance of homosexuality have emerged as key components and are now often employed to highlight immigrants' "un-French" attitudes. I argue that, as French and immigrant identities have been called into question, sexuality has constituted a favored prism through which to establish the existence of difference. Through the study of cultural representations of immigration, I will explain how the potential of immigrants and their descendants to assimilate is often judged according to the "fitness" of their attitudes about sexuality.

  • Ideologische Selbstbeschreibungen Der Gesellschaft Durch Das
    The State’s Monopoly on Legitimate Violence. Violence in History and in Contemporary World Society as Challenges to the State1 Hannes Wimmer Introduction The monopoly on legitimate force or violence belongs to the essential elements of modern statehood – so the scholarly consensus since Thomas Hobbes or at least since Max Weber. In “Economy and Society” Weber defines the state as a political organization whose “administrative staff successfully upholds the claim to the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force in the enforcement of its orders” (Weber 1922: 29, translation). This definition seems to be very clear, but sometimes it leads to misunderstandings. First of all, the use of force is not the sole and not even the normal means for the modern state “to realize its orders”; it is only the ultima ratio if all other means are not effective. The crucial point for Weber was the fact that the state cannot be defined by its “ends” because there are almost no ends that states did not try to realize in the course of history. Of all social institutions and all possible actors in modern society, only the state is legitimated to use physical force as a “means”– with the implication that all forms of non-state violence are illegitimate and have therefore to be prosecuted and punished according to the penal law (Milanes 1999). One of the misunderstandings concerns the question sometimes posed in discussions: How can we speak of a “monopoly on violence” if there is so much violence originating in society? Yes, there is an important difference between monopolies in the economy where certain goods or services may be supplied by only one company whereas the state hasn’t even a chance to monopolize the ownership of arms, not to speak of innumerable devices that can be used in exercising violence, for instance, knives.

  • Christendom Is Dead… Implications of a Violent Age for Church, Mission and School
    Christendom is Dead… Implications of a Violent Age for Church, Mission and School David Cashin, Professor of Intercultural Studies Columbia Biblical Seminary & School of Missions On March 26, 2005 an English atheist named Anthony Browne wrote: “Christians are ‘the largest single group in the world which is being denied human rights on the basis of their faith’.”1 Browne’s concern was not motivated by any desire to encourage the Christian faith. His deepest concern was the fact that the obvious double standards of the Western World would encourage the growth of “fundamentalist” Christianity. He concluded: “If non-Christians like me can sense the nonsense, how does it make Christians feel? And how are they going to react? The Christophobes worried about rising Christian fundamentalism in Britain should understand that it is a reaction to our double standards. And as long as our double standards exist, Christian fundamentalism will grow.”2 Browne’s concern should be an encouragement to Christians of Europe battling the ravages of post-modern and post-Christian thinking. People are not as easily fooled as the media sometimes thinks they are. Even non-Christians in the west sense that the media presents only one side of the story and they can ask the questions that the media often refuses to ask. I believe we are on the cusp of a great revival. This past summer I was in New Zealand shortly after the London metro bombings. The western world received an incredible shock that people raised in England would engage in suicide bombings against innocent civilians who had done them no harm.

ISLAM AND HOMOSEXUALITY: RELIGIOUS DOGMA, COLONIAL RULE, AND THE QUEST FOR BELONGING SHAFIQA AHMADI * INTRODUCTION It is widely believed that homosexuality is forbidden in Islam. However, a distinction should be made between homosexual acts and homosexual persons. Under the laws of some Islamic countries, homosexual acts are considered a crime and are punishable by death or by isolation, if not actual criminal proceedings. Being a homosexual person and not publicly acting on homosexual feelings, however, is within the bounds of the law in many Muslim countries. These distinctions create a serious clash between Islam and homosexuality. Some argue that this clash is reconcilable, while others push to maintain the perceived severance. While there are liberal Muslims who accept homosexuality and consider it to be natural,1 other Islamic writings on homosexuality consider this identity a perversion that needs to * Shafiqa Ahmadi, J.D. is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Education at the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.
