How does religion influence an emerging nationalism? Evidence from the Kurdish context in Turkey

AbstractBased on qualitative interviews with 66 Sunni Muslim Kurdish elites, this study reveals that Kurdish Islamic circles in Turkey are not monolithic, homogeneous or fixed. Some willingly or unwillingly maintain their Islamic identity as a primary reference point for self‐consciousness, motivation for collective action and political aspirations, often at the expense of ethnopolitical mobilization. Others combine Kurdish national claims with an Islamic orientation, pursuing a path of coexistence between the secular and the religious in the expedition towards nationhood. In the competitive interplay between religion and nationalism, Islam acts as a restraining force on the rise of national sentiment among Muslim Kurds. In the symbiotic interplay, Islam no longer serves as an obstacle to delay Kurdish mobilization but rather accommodates secular norms and values in favour of welcoming national zeals.

REPRESENTATIONS OF IRAQ IN AMERICAN SNIPER

This study investigates representations of Iraq in the film American Sniper(2014). The film encapsulates Hollywoods anti-Muslim discourse post 9/11, which wasparticularly designed to shape public opinion and lay the groundwork for policies that encroach upon civil liberties.To legitimize the draconian, unprecedented measures the Bush Administration introduced in the tumultuous aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the filmdoes not only reinforce the perception of Muslims as primitive savages deserving of every cruelty inflicted on them, but also creates a narrative that conflates patriotism with unequivocalsupport for the governments heavy-handed response. As a point of departure, this thesis draws on a litany of assertions Edward Said made regarding Orientalism, especially his contention that when the United States emerged as a dominant superpower in the aftermath of World War II, supplanting the once mighty and far-flung French and British empires, it inherited a vast repertory of derogatory stereotypes and essentialist tropes about the Islamic Orient. The film, American Sniper,abounds with familiar Orientalist imagery about Muslims, which aim to lock the public in a perpetual state of patriotic hysteria and lend credence to an imperialist discursive tradition that has for long presented the Orient as an inferior, benighted savage that needs to be kept at bay at all costs.

Sharia Appraisal of the Bohe’ Ritual as a Way for Treatment and Prevention Disease

Some residents of Bulukumba adhered to the bohe’ rite as a religious practice. The residents of Lembanna Village, Bontobahri District, Bukukumba Regency thought that the bohe’ ritual, in this case involving a walnut crab, possessed supernatural qualities and could cure a variety of illnesses. This study attempted to explain the ancestry of the bohe ceremony and evaluate Islam's approach to community rituals. This study employed a sociocultural, qualitative methodology. According to the research, bohe’ was an animistic ritual based on the ancestral practices of the inhabitants of Lembanna Village that was believed to be able to treat a variety of maladies, including skin diseases, itching, and allergies, and many people even asked for children. When one of the sick was immediately sent to bohe’ for a ritual to be performed in the hope that the ailment he experienced might be treated, the ritual became highly mystical in the community because it was a reference for previous individuals and a stigma for society. From the bohe’ ritual, it is possible to conclude that the rituals of the ancient people were not in accordance with the teachings of Islam, as the ritual process diverged from the religious faith, consisted of bad habits, and sought healing from a source other than Allah. In order to avoid deviating from the Islamic faith, it was hoped that the public would pay close attention to right and wrong and engage in a great deal of self-reflection by reading the prayers or mantras cast by Sanro (local shaman) or a handler with a more Islamic orientation, such as by reading shalawat or other suras from the Qur'an and Hadith.

Menimbang Gagasan Islamisasi Ilmu-ilmu Sosial; Studi Kritis atas Pemikiran Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi

The idea of Islamization of knowledge in essence emerged as a response to the dichotomy between religious science and science that the secular West and modern culture introduced into the Islamic world. The progress achieved by modern science has had an amazing effect, but on the other hand it has also had a negative impact, because modern (Western) science has dry values or is separated from religious values. In addition, the Islamization of Science is also a reaction to the crisis in the education system faced by Muslims, namely the dualism of the Islamic education system and modern (secular) education which confuses Muslims. According to Al-Faruqi, Islamization is an effort to understand and rebuild social and natural sciences in which there are Islamic elements, so that they change to be in line with Islamic orientation. And every scientific discipline must cultivate Islamic principles whose methodology is imbued with the spirit of monotheism, which includes: the principle of the oneness of God, the unity of the universe, the unity of truth and knowledge, the unity of life, and the unity of mankind

Islamic Tourism: The Characteristics, Concept and Principles

The Islamic economic sector has grown rapidly in Malaysia and Islamic businesses can be found in a wide range of sectors including culinary, Islamic finance, Islamic takaful (insurance and mortgage) industries, fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, and tourism industries. Islamic tourism, in particular, offers a new means of developing the tourism industry in Malaysia whilst maintaining the ethics, culture and values of Islam. Islamic tourism is not defined as a visit to the mosque alone, but the visit is closely related to nature, culture, or creativity that integrates with Islamic values. Currently, the concept of adherence to Islam (which has been called as Shariah-compliant) has gained traction across the globe. In response to this new lifestyle trend, many countries (including those such as Korea, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and New Zealand which do not have a domestic Muslim majority) are beginning to introduce tourism products related to the halal concept or Islamic orientation. The definition of Islamic tourism is still unclear and encompasses various terms such as Halal Tourism, Halal Friendly Travel Destinations, Halal Travel, Islamic Travel Destinations, and Halal Lifestyle. Even in Malaysia, a leader in this sector, the concept of Islamic tourism is still liminal. However it offers huge potential, both for the country’s tourism sector and the country’s Islamic population, contributing to the preservation and appreciation of Islamic culture in Malaysia. Islamic tourism is not only related to religious values ​​but also must be in line with every way of life that is not contrary to Islam. Not many companies and agencies organize halal tourism packages because they think it is not a necessity and a profit. Many companies are more focused on routine Islamic tourism such as Umrah and Hajj. This paper considers in detail the characteristics, concept and principles of Islamic tourism.

Heidegger’s philosophy of art and its relation to the doctrine of Muslim thinkers

ABSTRACT At this ‘needy time’ in which humanity has been deteriorated into just dominance over nature through modern technicity, Martin Heidegger introduced art as the only way to overcome this modernity crisis. Art has a special place in the perspective of this German philosopher. Art in its ontological sense is the manifestation of truth; and the truth itself is the manifestation of being. In Heidegger’s view, every work of art, in its essence, is poetry; and poetry is as extensive as language. Language has also an ontological interpretation as the genesis of being and truth. This article initially attempts to delve deep into Heidegger’s essay The Origin of the Work of Art; and then moves on to analyze the essence of art and beauty and its source from the perspective of some Muslim thinkers in order to show that Heidegger’s philosophical horizons on art are not unfamiliar to the Islamic Orient.

Tradisional Dan Modernitas Tipologi Arsitektur Masjid Hunto Sultan Amay Gorontalo

A mosque is a symbol of the magnificence of Islam, which has an important significance in Islamic culture and civilization, and is a symbol of harmony in human life with Nature and the environment.The appearance of the Hunto Mosque building is a combination of elements of local architecture and Islamic architecture which is full of meaning. Some of these parts are the four pillars of the mosque which are interpreted as the four companions of the prophet, six wooden doors, a pulpit whose ornaments come from Gujarat, India, a drum, and an old well where ablution is of course as old as the Hunto Mosque. Hunto Mosque, the first mosque in Gorontalo City, was built in 1495 AD or 899 H, and has an area of 12x12 meters. This study aims to determine in general the form of typology in the form of architectural ornaments at the Sultan Amay mosque.The manifestation of a mosque architectural typology that occurs directly or indirectly, is due to the distinctive difference between a traditional Islamic community-based architectural typology with a modernist Islamic community-based architectural typology, each of which is influenced by the characteristics of the Islamic orientation of society.

The study concluded that teachers have mixed opinions regarding inclusion of Islamic beliefs in already set standards for ESL teaching. The opinions of Male and female teachers were significantly different from each other.

The study concluded that the universities seemingly Islamic orientation have not planned or trained their ESL teachers in case of Islamic beliefs are included in their syllabuses. Moreover, the private university faculties are considering inclusion of Islamic beliefs as a threat to the already ESL teaching practices in vogue. It recommends a full fledge study at a much broader level to include other factors which are not included in this study due to time and resources constraints.
