Islam in transition: religion and identity among British Pakistani youth
No full textBook synopsis: Islam in Transition focuses on the ways in which Islamic religion still engenders powerful loyalties within what is now a predominantly secular society and how, in their continual adherence to their religion, many young British Pakistanis find a welcome sense of stability and permanence. By presenting material collected in field-work study and by using extensive quotations from interviews, the author argues that in a world where concepts of identity are always being challenged traditional sources of authority and allegiance still survive

A diagrammatic representation of the unidimensional model of FTD-SS-R item-responses tested using a confirmatory factor analysis in Sample 2, where a single factor explains the variation in item-responses for the 20 FTD-SS-R items that were retained in the final exploratory factor solution in Sample 1 (i.e. 20-item unidimensional model).

TINDAKAN KEKERASAN SEKSUAL DARI BERBAGAI KALANGAN YANG DITINJAU DALAM SUDUT PANDANG HUKUM ISLAM
No full textThis research was made to analyze the Factors of Acts of Sexual Violence from Various Groups Viewed from the Perspective of Islamic Law. as We see this from the point of view of Islamic law which is guided by the Alquran, regarding how the causes of sexual violence should have been contained in the law in the Alquran. Based on the research concluded in Islamic law which is guided by the Alquran, acts of sexual violence have been regulated long before the positive law came into force, as seen from Q.S An-Nur; 30-31, Q.S Al-Furqan; 43, and Q.S Al-Ahzab; 59 The Qur'an has previously warned about acts of sexual violence, by taking care of each other between men and women. Islam does not blame the victim as well as the perpetrator, the rules that have been set by Allah SWT. should be carried out and take care of each other
‘European Islam’ in the Iranian Ettehadiyeh
No full textBook synopsis:
From the Civil War in Lebanon to the Iranian Revolution of 1978-79, from the dismantling of the Ba'athist regime in Iraq to the virtual splintering of the country; and from the chaos in Afghanistan to the victimisation of the Hazaras by the Taliban. Shi'i communities around the world have suffered from wars, revolutions and hostility. These problems, in different ways, have all involved a configuration of complicated events, a heritage of historical factors and interntional power politics that defy simplistic explanations. Here, Lloyd Ridgeon brings together an investigation of the nature of contemporary Shi'ism. He and his collaborators here focus on the creation of identities- showing the diversity of thought within the Shi'i world. They demonstrate the transnational nature of Shi'i networs and the forces of tradition and modernity influencing current developments in Shi'i identity both in the Middle East and in the West.
This volume looks at both the attempts of authorities to construct a cohesive Shi'i identity (by using, for example, Iranian school books as an indicator of sanctioned facets of what it means to be Iranian) as well as the ways in which identity is created and developed by minority groups in the Diaspora. It also offers an analysis of the Hazaras of Afghanistan- so often overlooked when attempts to understand Afghanistan are made. It is this ethnic minority, which was so marginalised and victimised under the Taliban that offers an example of the trend of the rise of Islamism amongst the Shi'a. Moreover, by looking further afield to the Shi'a of Senegal, and asking the question of whether the Alevis of Turkey comprise part of the global Shi'i community, this book emphasizes the ways in which traditional patterns of social organisation are being transformed. Shi'i Islam and Identity highlights these global networks, and shows that it is inaccurate to speak of a 'Shi'i Crescnt'; rather, Shi'i worlds range from Senegal, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Iran and Iraq, to Turkey, Albania and to European capitals such as London and Berlin.
This book is thus of interest to those looking at modern religion and its contemporary forms, as well as those researching Shi'ism more specifically

A diagrammatic representation of the correlated three factors model of FTD-SS-R item-responses produced using an exploratory factor analysis in Sample 1 and tested using a confirmatory factor analysis in Sample 2, where the variation in item-responses for 20 of the FTD-SS-R items is accounted for by three correlated factors (i.e. 20-item correlated three factors model).

Islam, the people and the state: political ideas and movements in the Middle East
No full textBook synopsis: The recent prominence of Islamic politics in the Middle East has raised important questions about society, politics and culture. It has posed a challenge to the main theoretical approaches in the social sciences from Marxism to modernization theory and it has given some credence to the idea that the world of Islam is essentially distinct from Europe, and follows a course of development dictated by its own history and culture. In this book, Sami Zubaida challenges these diverse opinions in favor of a general political sociology capable of dealing with the historical and cultural personalities of societies and situations in the region. He argues that rather than being "revivals" of historical ideas and institutions, current political and social developments in the Islamic World are, in fact, uniquely modern phenomena
