  • One Kadhi, Court, and Anthropologist
    NOTES One Kadhi, Court, and Anthropologist 1. For a comparative look at the status of Islamic family law in different parts of the Muslim world today, refer to Abdullahi an-Na’im’s overview of Islamic family law (2003). 2. See Susan Hirsch’s article (2006) for a thorough overview of sociolegal scholarship on Islamic law. 3. There are a number of different schools of Islamic legal thought that are named after the influential thinkers behind the development of the schools. Of the four Sunni schools, Shafi’i is the most prominent in East Africa. The Omani Arab colonizers were Ibadhis, and a few Zanzibaris still identify as Ibadhi. There is also a small Ismaili Bohora community in Zanzibari Town. 4. Women in Zanzibar are addressed with the title Bibi in front of their name (Bi, the short form, is more common), which means Ms. The title is used for women of all ages and mari- tal status. For younger men, the title Bwana (Mister) is used and for older men, the title Mzee (Elder) is used. 5. For a thorough treatment of the recent history of the kadhi’s courts until 1963, see Stockreiter’s dissertation (2008). 6. Many scholars have noted a preference for oral than written evidence in Islamic legal con- text, (Messick 1993). Stockreiter traces the influence of the colonial period in establishing a reliance on written evidence (2008), and in Zanzibar courts today, written evidence is much preferred in many situations. 7. This period also saw other strict laws in Zanzibar concerning dress and hairstyle, like the 1973 decree on clothing, and placed strict regulations on visits to Zanzibar from foreigners.

  • A Case Study of Osama Bin Laden A
    THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF OSAMA BIN LADEN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Juliana Gibson Steiner, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. 30 March 2012 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF OSAMA BIN LADEN Juliana Gibson Steiner, B.A. MALS Mentor: R. Nicholas Palarino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Sociologists and psychiatrists often contend that culture, religion, social and economic factors are precursors to extremist Islamic ideology. According to Robert Robins and Jerrold Post in their groundbreaking book, Political Paranoia: The Psychopolitics of Hatred, paranoia is the hallmark of radical thinking. Post and Robins argue political paranoia is responsible for every social disaster in history and is among the root causes for the decline of the West. This thesis will test Robins’ and Post’s hypothesis by conducting a case study of Osama bin Laden. Specifically, I explore significant events in bin Laden’s life that drove him to cross the line from paranoia into psychopathy exhibited by his propensity to eliminate perceived enemies and his remarkable ability to manipulate others. This includes convincing a worldwide network of Muslims that the West seeks to destroy Islam. Using the work of Robins and Post to establish the foundational concept of political paranoia, along with Frances Fukuyama’s theory of the end of history, and Dr. Robert Hare’s notion of the psychopath, this thesis explores how these phenomena impacted bin Laden’s reasoning.

  • The New Guardians of Religion: Islam and Authority in the Middle East
    THE NEW GUARDIANS OF RELIGION: ISLAM AND AUTHORITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST A.Kadir Yildirim, Ph.D. Fellow for the Middle East, Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy March 2019 © 2019 Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy This material may be quoted or reproduced without prior permission, provided appropriate credit is given to the author and Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

However, the research and views expressed in this paper are those of the individual researcher(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Baker Institute. A.Kadir Yildirim, Ph.D. “The New Guardians of Religion: Islam and Authority in the Middle East” This report is part of a two-year project on religious authority in the Middle East. The study is generously supported by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. The New Guardians of Religion: Islam and Authority in the Middle East Introduction On September 24, 2014, more than 120 Muslim scholars from around the world released an open letter to the Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.1 Among the original signatories were prominent Islamic scholars, including Sheikh Shawqi Allam, Abdul- Rahman Abbad, Mohammad Ahmad Al-Akwa’, Majdi Ashour, Osman Bakr, Abdallah bin Bayyah, Al-Habib Muhammad Luthfi bin Ali bin Yahya, Mustafa Ceric, Abdullah Fadaaq, Sheikh Ali Al-Halabi, Din Syamsuddin, and Muhammad Al-Yacoubi. While the letter itself is a strong statement condemning the Islamic State’s instrumentalization of religion for vile political purposes and a notable attempt to undermine its religious legitimacy, it is also remarkable for a different reason: the letter received little international media attention and resonated even less as a rallying point for the global Muslim population, raising questions about the nature of religious authority in Islam and religion’s political utility.

  • Tajikistan 2012.Pdf
    Tajikistan FINDINGS: The religious freedom situation in Tajikistan further deteriorated during the reporting period, as it has over the past several years, leading to systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of freedom of religion or belief. The state suppresses and punishes all religious activity independent of state control, and imprisons individuals on unproven criminal allegations linked to religious activity or affiliation. The Tajik government’s restrictions on freedom of religion or belief primarily affect the country’s majority Muslim community, but also target minority communities viewed as foreign-influenced, particularly Protestants and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Jehovah’s Witnesses are banned and, as a result, that community has faced numerous official penalties, including allegations of inciting inter-religious discord. In recent years, the Tajik government has destroyed a synagogue, a church, and three mosques, and it has closed down hundreds of unregistered mosques, including 50 in early 2011. Based on this deterioration and these systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, USCIRF recommends for the first time in 2012 that Tajikistan be designated a country of particular concern (CPC). Tajikistan had been on USCIRF’s Watch List since 2009. The government’s actions against peaceful religious practice are based in part on a recent and ongoing expansion of repressive laws limiting religious freedom. The 2009 Tajik religion law establishes onerous and intrusive registration requirements for religious groups; criminalizes unregistered religious activity, private religious education, and proselytism; sets strict limits on the number of mosques and their size; allows government interference with the appointment of imams; requires official permission for religious organizations to provide religious instruction and communicate with foreign co-religionists; and imposes state controls on the publication and import of religious literature.

    TAJIKISTAN USCIRF STATUS: Tier 1 Country of Particular Concern BOTTOM LINE: The Tajik government suppresses all religious activity independent of state control, particularly the activities of Muslims, Protestants, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The government also imprisons individuals on unproven criminal allegations linked to Islamic religious activity and affiliation. 1| USCIRF 2013 Annual Report TAJIKISTAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FINDINGS: Tajikistan’s restrictions on religious freedom remained in place during the reporting period, and systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of freedom of religion or belief continue. The government suppresses and punishes all religious activity independent of state control, and imprisons individuals on unproven criminal allegations linked to religious activity or affiliation. These restrictions and abuses primarily affect the country’s majority Muslim community, but also target minority communities, particularly Protestants and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Jehovah’s Witnesses community has been banned since 2007. In recent years, the Tajik government has destroyed a synagogue, a church, and three mosques, and it has closed down hundreds of unregistered mosques. Based on these systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, USCIRF again recommends in 2013 that Tajikistan be designated a country of particular concern (CPC). USCIRF first recommended that Tajikistan be designated a CPC in 2012. Previously, Tajikistan had been on USCIRF’s Watch List since 2009. The government’s recent actions

  • USIP – ADST Afghanistan Experience Project Interview #5 Executive Summary the Subject Served in Afghanistan from September
    USIP – ADST Afghanistan Experience Project Interview #5 Executive Summary The subject served in Afghanistan from September 2003 until January 2004. He was a political advisor to the Joint Task Force 180 at Bagram airbase. From this vantage point he was able to observe the workings of the PRTs and to use the information they developed. The PRTs grew out of the CORDS experience in Vietnam. Changes and modifications were made to meet the Afghan environment. When the subject first arrived in Afghanistan there were four PRTs. The one at Mazar-e Sharif was manned by the British using SAS troops and headed by an experienced colonel. Subject felt that this was the best operation. Another was run by New Zealand forces in Central Afghanistan. The U.S. had two, both headed by lieutenant colonels. The primary task, at the time, was to help the newly appointed Karzai governors run their provinces. These governors had little in the way of support from the central government; they were short of staff, had little transport, communations equipment, or office supplies. Also there was a shortage of money to invest in the provinces. The PRTs helped fill in some of these gaps, often by acting as a liaison with the local U.S. military commanders who had transport, money, communications, and money, or with the UN, USAID or NGOs. While in Afghanistan subject saw the PRTs expand from four to sixteen. They gave the embassy a window into what was happening in the field. The effectiveness of the governors ran from good to bad.
