Hegghammer T: Mujahidin

"Here, Jon Hoffman analyzes the differing ways in which political considerations impact how religion is marshaled as a tool of foreign policy in the Middle East. Instead of religion influencing political outcomes, this analysis examines how politics influences religious outcomes. This book develops a comprehensive analytical framework for the notion of "religious soft power" capable of incorporating power-based, identity-based, and ideational variables to examine how states couple religion with their broader foreign policy conduct"--

Instead of religion influencing political outcomes, this analysis examines how politics influences religious outcomes. Dominant analyses examining the utilization of religion as a tool of statecraft in the Middle East remain overwhelmingly fixated on how Islam influences the foreign policies of different state actors – not how political considerations often influence the forms Islam assumes and how religion itself is often molded according to strategic considerations of political elites. That Islam, due to its “unique” or “exceptional” relationship with politics, drives political outcomes at the international level in the Middle East is a myth this book tackles by demonstrating how the political considerations of ruling elites – specifically, the intersection of domestic and foreign threats – influence and constrain the kinds of religious soft power strategies adopted by states in the region.
 
 This book develops a comprehensive analytical framework for the notion of “religious soft power” capable of incorporating power-based, identity-based, and ideational variables to examine how states couple religion with their broader foreign policy conduct. This framework is applied to the Middle East through the specific examination of three countries - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates - in the period following the Arab Uprisings to demonstrate how specific religious narratives, identities, histories, and ideologies are constructed by political elites in the Middle East for the advancement of what are inherently political objectives, namely the imperatives of regime preservation and power projection.

Islam and Statecraft

Critical Muslim

Since its beginnings--born out of the Enlightenment--liberalism has risen to become the global standard; an almost utopian ideal, against which political and moral philosophies have been judged. Yet, one quarter of the way through the twenty-first century, we wonder if the liberal idea is all but dead. The freedoms imbued by civil and human rights, individualism and private property have built the modern world, but not without growing pains and vestigial aches. More than a simple philosophy, liberalism has informed economics, secularism, language and culture. As the global hegemon, it has at times been cast as an enemy of the 'other'; but, in fact, the liberalism that dominated in the West is not without its non-Western seeds and influences. This issue of Critical Muslim gives liberalism a long overdue analysis, evaluating how well it has fared up to the present, and considering how the future will continue to be shaped by its legacy. About Critical Muslim: A quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. Each edition centers on a discrete theme, and contributions include reportage, academic analysis, cultural commentary, photography, poetry, and book reviews.

A rich and searing epic fantasy debut inspired by ancient Arabia, Hafsah Faizal's We Hunt the Flame is a story of love, hate, magic and power.

We Hunt the Flame

Istanbul, 1537. The greatest of the Ottoman Sultans is at his personal apogee and the pinnacle of world power. With both Christianity and Islam riven by schism, he is mighty enough to maul different enemies in different hemispheres at the same time. But a terrible crisis is building that will rip Suleyman's family apart as his beloved wife Hurrem wages pitiless war against his first-born son, Mustafa, and the boy's mother Mahidevran. From the Baillie Gifford shortlisted historian, this intensely gripping, cinematic account of the life and world of Suleyman the Magnificent tells the story of one of the most consequential lives in world history while pioneering a ground-breaking new form of 'history in the present tense'.

Bloomsbury Studies in Religion, Space and Place

The Politics of Sacred Places is a study of the socio-political dimensions of sacred sites in Israel-Palestine, drawing on over 20 years of in-depth ethnographic research which introduces cutting-edge theories on secularization, struggles for recognition, and diversity issues.

This book focuses on contemporary sacred sites and their socio-political meanings for minorities within a hegemonic and a secularizing state-system. It argues that sacred places provide a space that is less scrutinized by the state and where alternative visions of the socio-political may be produced.

A plethora of sites and case studies are examined, including the rural shrine of Maqam abu al-Hijja in the lower Galilee, the Mosque of Hassan Bek in the heart of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and the most disputed sacred place in the region, the Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem. These sites are explored through mostly a phenomenological lens and in various contexts, from the individual body to the global.

This book offers a critical-analytical study of the socio-political aspects of sacred sites in contemporary societies within the broader understanding of scale and the spatial turn in the study of religion.

The Politics of Sacred Places

A concise new narrative history of Islam that draws on the transformative insights of recent research to emphasize the diversity and dynamism of the traditionToday's Muslim world is in upheaval: legalists and mystics engage in intense debates, radical groups invoke Sharia, Muslim immigrants in the West face prejudice and discrimination, and Muslim feminists advocate new interpretations of the Koran. At the same time, Islam is mischaracterized as unitary and unchanging by people ranging from rightwing Western politicians claiming that Islam is incompatible with democracy to conservative Muslims dreaming of returning to the golden age of the prophet. Against this contentious backdrop, this book provides an essential and timely new history of the religion in all its astonishing richness and diversity as it has been practiced by Muslims around the world, from seventh-century Mecca to today. Most popular histories of Islam continue to repeat conventional pietistic accounts. In contrast, John Tolan draws on decades of new historical research that has transformed knowledge of the origins and development of the Muslim faith. He shows how the youngest of the three great monotheisms arose in close contact with Jewish, Christian, and other religious traditions in a mixture of cultures, including Arab, Greek, Persian, and Turkish; how Islam spread across an enormous territory encompassing hundreds of languages and cultures; how Muslims have forged widely different beliefs and practices over fourteen centuries; and how Islamic history provides crucial context for understanding contemporary debates in the Muslim world. At a time when much talk about Islam is filled with misunderstanding, stereotypes, and bias, this book provides a fresh and lucid portrait of the continuous and ongoing transformations of a religion of tremendous variety and complexity.

Muslims have a very special relationship with water. In the desert-dwelling populations where Islam was born, it was a coveted asset. The great Muslim cities were built around rivers. Water still accompanies each of the daily prayers, through the performance of&nbsp;wudu&nbsp;(ritual ablution); the Sharia provides rules for using and preserving it; and the Qur'an and hadith mention, numerous times, that water is essential for life. An ancient respect for this element, which covers 71 per cent of our planet's surface, runs through Islamic teachings-but rivers are dying, ecosystems have been thrown into disarray, and pollution and plastics are making it undrinkable. While water is normally a metaphor for calm and purity, as climate change becomes climate catastrophe, we see some cities overstressed and running out of water, while others are sinking beneath the waves. This issue of&nbsp;Critical Muslim&nbsp;confronts the existential threats around water and seeks to restore the balance between the human and natural worlds. About Critical Muslim: A quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. Each edition centers on a discrete theme, and contributions include reportage, academic analysis, cultural commentary, photography, poetry, and book reviews.

Critical Muslim 53

The Qur'an is the sacred religiousbook of Muslims around the world. Yet its history, from its inception inseventh-century Arabia to its transmission in the modern world, remainsunderstudied. The twelve chapters in this book address this lacuna by examiningmultifaceted stages in the Qur'an's history and transmission through a broadrange of methodological and theoretical approaches. The volume examines theearliest material evidence of the Qur'an through its manuscript tradition andexplores their content and form. This includes a focus on the Qur'an's uniqueorthography and insights into the Sanaa manuscripts. Additionally, this work providesnew insights by broaching upon critical moments in the Qur'an's history, suchas the codification of Abu Bakr. A crucial component of the book deals withapproaches to the variant readings of the Qur'an, understood as beingsanctioned through narrations on the&nbsp;a?ruf. It explores freshinsights into how Muslim scholars theorised such variances and the way theyrelated them to the&nbsp;qira'at,&nbsp;including how they approached thevariant codices of prominent companions. Furthermore, this work exploresunderstudied non-Qur'anic transmissions of the Qur'an alongside the historicaldevelopment of Qur'an translations. This volume advances the field of Qur'anicstudies and Qur'anic history.
