Dear friends! It gives me great pleasure to greet you in ancient Samarkand, on gorgeous and fertile Uzbek soil, in one of the centres of world civilisation, where over the centuries the representatives of different nations and religions have lived in peace and harmony. Above all, I would like to note that this symposium, in which Islamic scholars of different countries of the world are participating, is dedicated to studying the relationship between Islam and the secular state, which is of utmost importance. Nowadays, when the representatives of various religions, nations and populations, cultures and civilisations are entering into dialogue for the sake of maintaining life on Earth and providing peace, freedom and wealth for all people, developing the relationship between religion and the secular state becomes an important condition for establishing the spirit of cooperation and solidarity among all nations. Today we have all witnessed how setting religious values against such concepts as progress and secular society, how wrong ideas over the role and meaning of religion can lead to tragic consequences, particularly as religion directly affects the minds of millions and millions of people. In particular, such negative trends as the politicization of the holy Islamic religion, its manipulation in egotistic objectives, and its use as an ideological weapon in the struggle for power, demonstrate the gravity and solidity of the questions put on the agenda of this symposium. The search for answers to such complex and pressing issues, which have arisen through the passage of time, 155 Islam and Secular State is becoming an urgent necessity. I believe that in this sense this international symposium, which is being held on Uzbek soil, with its rich history and experience in building relations between the state and religion and its application of this experience in present conditions based upon national human values, will be an important step to an even deeper revelation of the true essence of Islam, its positive and humanistic ideas. Greeting you once more, I wish you well-being, new achievements in your scientific work and success in the activity of the symposium. Islam KARIMOV, President of the Republic Uzbekistan 156 Foreword The Foreword Undoubtedly, the relationship between the religious and the temporal spheres of life has been of vital importance in the functioning of states throughout man’s history. This applies equally to all communities, for the intrinsic values of any human society are largely based on some religious outlook. Reaching a rational consensus on these two major components of human life is therefore of paramount importance. This consensus or balance becomes the standard against which the adequacy of any community’s current condition and prospects for progress must be measured. Any imbalance produces painful effects on society, tending to hinder its advance and sometimes even resulting in disastrous consequences. In all times there have existed some forces asserting the primordial authority of religion to intervene in every aspect of a community’s life, and others demanding that religion be confined to the realm of the spiritual. Occasionally the relations between the two opposing forces became so antagonistic that whole countries were plunged into an abyss of chaos and obscurity. Let us recall, for instance, the times of the Great Inquisition, when Europe witnessed burnings and horrendous tortures, the victims of which included some of the greatest minds, whose ideas continue even today to serve as a guiding light for mankind. The fate of Siger De Brabant, who was convicted for his development of Ibn Rushd’s ideas, the lot of Giordano Bruno, Nicolaus Copernicus, Nicholas of Cusa and many other thinkers who suffered for their beliefs, bear eloquent testimony to the hardships that accompany the process of shaping a natural interrelation between the religious and the secular life in society. This process displayed no less tragic manifestations in the life of the Muslim East. To put it in modern terms, one may say that the process of separating secular power from religious authority developed along lines that proved not dissimilar to those of the Christian West. Abu Mansur al-Hallaj, a great Sufi, was burned to death for his original views on the perception of God’s essence. Such giants of Muslim scholarship, philosophy and art as Ibn Sina, Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, Abu-l-‘Ala’ al-Ma‘arri, ‘Umar Khayyam and many others were all mercilessly persecuted and ostracized for their convictions. The best minds in both Europe and the Orient became increasingly 157 Islam and Secular State aware of the dangers that the domination of religious thinking involved for universal progress, and constantly searched for a solution to this most crucial problem. After some time these efforts resulted in the emergence of a scientific and philosophical school that figured prominently among a wide range of scientific theories dealing with problems of humanitarian development. Our current knowledge demonstrates the considerable progress attained by European science and practice in the research into, and the development of, the question of the separation of church and state. History shows that this advance was largely due to the fact that the predominance of religion in the life of medieval European society became so unbearable and assumed such monstrous proportions that it mobilised people of reason to seek a solution. In today’s world the concept of separating religion (church) from the state is seen to vary from one social group to another and, more importantly, from one country to another. This is borne out, in the first place, by the experience

  • Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Iran: the Role of Identity Processes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Nottingham Trent Institutional Repository (IRep) 1 Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in Iran: the role of identity processes Rusi Jaspal De Montfort University, Leicester, UK Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism constitute two important ideological building blocks of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Yet, there is no existing research into the psychosocial motives underlying the manifestation of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism at the institutional level in Iran. Here it is argued that there is much heuristic and predictive value in applying tenets of identity process theory (IPT), a socio-psychological model of identity threat and action, to the primarily socio-historical literature on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in Iran. The paper provides a summary of anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and ‘new anti-Semitism’ and IPT. The substantive section of the paper explores (i) how anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism may restore feelings of belonging in the Muslim world and beyond; (ii) the inter-relations between ingroup and outgroup self-efficacy; (iii) the psychosocial motivation to maintain Shiite ideology and Khomeini’s legacy; and (iv) the construction of Jews and Israel in terms of a threat to group continuity. It is suggested that insights into the motivational principles underlying anti-Semitism and anti- Zionism at the institutional level may inform empirical research into social representations of Jews and Israel in Iran. More broadly, this paper highlights the potential contribution of social psychology to existing work on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the humanities.

  • Iran 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    IRAN 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution defines the country as an Islamic republic and specifies Twelver Ja’afari Shia Islam as the official state religion. It states all laws and regulations must be based on “Islamic criteria” and an official interpretation of sharia. The constitution states citizens shall enjoy human, political, economic, and other rights, “in conformity with Islamic criteria.” The penal code specifies the death sentence for proselytizing and attempts by non-Muslims to convert Muslims, as well as for moharebeh (“enmity against God”) and sabb al-nabi (“insulting the Prophet”). According to the penal code, the application of the death penalty varies depending on the religion of both the perpetrator and the victim. The law prohibits Muslim citizens from changing or renouncing their religious beliefs. The constitution also stipulates five non-Ja’afari Islamic schools shall be “accorded full respect” and official status in matters of religious education and certain personal affairs. The constitution states Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians, excluding converts from Islam, are the only recognized religious minorities permitted to worship and form religious societies “within the limits of the law.” The government continued to execute individuals on charges of “enmity against God,” including two Sunni Ahwazi Arab minority prisoners at Fajr Prison on August 4. Human rights nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) continued to report the disproportionately large number of executions of Sunni prisoners, particularly Kurds, Baluchis, and Arabs. Human rights groups raised concerns regarding the use of torture, beatings in custody, forced confessions, poor prison conditions, and denials of access to legal counsel.

  • The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi'a and Sufi
    The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi’a and Sufi Shaykhs in Mid-Nineteenth- Century China Wang Jianping, Shanghai Normal University Abstract This article traces the activities of Ma Dexin, a preeminent Hui Muslim scholar and grand imam (akhund) who played a leading role in the Muslim uprising in Yunnan (1856–1873). Ma harshly criticized Shi’ism and its followers, the shaykhs, in the Sufi orders in China. The intolerance of orthodox Sunnis toward Shi’ism can be explained in part by the marginalization of Hui Muslims in China and their attempts to unite and defend themselves in a society dominated by Han Chinese. An analysis of the Sunni opposition to Shi’ism that was led by Akhund Ma Dexin and the Shi’a sect’s influence among the Sufis in China help us understand the ways in which global debates in Islam were articulated on Chinese soil. Keywords: Ma Dexin, Shi’a, shaykh, Chinese Islam, Hui Muslims Most of the more than twenty-three million Muslims in China are Sunnis who follow Hanafi jurisprudence when applying Islamic law (shariʿa). Presently, only a very small percentage (less than 1 percent) of Chinese Muslims are Shi’a.1 The historian Raphael Israeli explicitly analyzes the profound impact of Persian Shi’ism on the Sufi orders in China based on the historical development and doctrinal teachings of Chinese Muslims (2002, 147–167). The question of Shi’a influence explored in this article concerns why Ma Dexin, a preeminent Chinese Muslim scholar, a great imam, and one of the key leaders of the Muslim uprising in the nineteenth century, so harshly criticized Shi’ism and its accomplices, the shaykhs, in certain Sufi orders in China, even though Shi’a Islam was nearly invisible at that time.

  • Islamic Feminism, a Public Lecture By
    SUDANWORKINGPAPER Islamic Feminism, a public lecture by Liv Tønnessen, Regional Institute of Gender, Rights, Peace & Diversity, Ahfad University for Women, Sudan SWP 2014: 1 Islamic Feminism Public lecture by Liv Tønnessen, Ahfad University for Women, Sudan SVP 2014 : 1 CMI SWP ISLAMIC FEMINISM 2014: 1 In the words of Pakistani-American Asma Barlas, “I came to the realization that women and men are equal as a result not of reading feminist texts, but of reading the Quran.”1 This position has come to be known as Islamic feminism. The term has been heatedly debated and both feminists and Muslims have rejected it as two fundamentally incompatible ideas. Secular feminists reject it because they argue religion generally and Islam in particular is oppressive to women2 and many Muslim women reject it because they feel ‘feminism’ is a secular invention imposed on them from outside, from the West. Islamic feminism is indeed highly contested, but it has also been widely embraced by both activists and scholars. As Margot Badran’s article from 2002 asks, What's in a name? What's behind a name? What is Islamic feminism?3 I will in a humble way attempt to address these questions in this talk. Let me first start by saying that this is a research paper on Islamic feminism. I am not a Muslim, but I find myself fascinated and genuinely interested in the question of women and Islam. I do not under any circumstances start my engagement with the topic from a position which neither reduces Islam to be monolithic and anti-women nor a position which states that secularism is the only route to women’s empowerment.

  • Anti-Semitism: a Pillar of Islamic Extremist Ideology
    Anti-Semitism: A Pillar of Islamic Extremist Ideology In a video message in August 2015, Osama bin Laden’s son, Hamza bin Laden, utilized a range of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel narratives in his effort to rally Al Qaeda supporters and incite violence against Americans and Jews. Bin Laden described Jews and Israel as having a disproportionate role in world events and the oppression of Muslims. He compared the “Zio- Crusader alliance led by America” to a bird: “Its head is America, one wing is NATO and the other is the State of the Jews in occupied Palestine, and the legs are the tyrant rulers that sit on the chests of the peoples of the Muslim Ummah [global community].” An undated image of al-Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden and his son, Hamza Bin Laden then called for attacks worldwide and demanded that Muslims “support their brothers in Palestine by fighting the Jews and the Americans... not in America and occupied Palestine and Afghanistan alone, but all over the world…. take it to all the American, Jewish, and Western interests in the world.” Such violent expressions of anti-Semitism have been at the core of Al Qaeda’s ideology for decades. Even the 9/11 terrorist attacks were motivated, in part, by anti-Semitism. Mohamed Atta, a key member of the Al Qaeda Hamburg cell responsible for the attacks, reportedly considered New York City to be the center of a global Jewish conspiracy, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who masterminded the attack, had allegedly previously developed several plans to attack Israeli and Jewish targets.

Showcasing the ways in which divine right doctrine holds royalty accountable to God, Richard II plays off the insecurities of the audience, underscoring questions about the institution of divine right politics that were long circulating in Elizabethan political discourse. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction – 5 The Question of Divine Right – 6 A Historical Perspective on Divine Right – 12 A Historical Perspective on Elizabethan Society – 18 Final Act – 26 Works Cited - 28 4 INTRODUCTION It is certainly true that no conception of authority was more magnanimous or widespread in Early Modern Europe than the divine right of kings.
