Book Synopsis A History of Christchurch Muslims by : Abdullah Drury
Download or read book A History of Christchurch Muslims written by Abdullah Drury and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a significant part of New Zealand history through a critical analysis of the Muslim community in Christchurch, a neglected but important aspect of wider New Zealand social and religious history. Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in New Zealand and one of the least understood by the wider public. However, the historic reality demonstrates that the first Muslim settlers arrived within 15 years of the proclamation of the colony in 1841, and many have been living quietly in this country and contributing to society ever since. Drury elucidates how New Zealand Muslims have proved it possible to integrate into a European society in the South Pacific whilst retaining an idiosyncratic sense of Islamic communal identity. This book is a useful reference for scholars and educators curious to learn more about Muslims in New Zealand and about the Christchurch Mosque communities before the 2019 shootings.

This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the contributions of Eastern female pioneers in science, politics and arts from Ancient Egypt to modern times, and discusses the possible psychological and social impact of this knowledge on today’s gender role in Eastern and Western Societies.

Book Synopsis Can Muslims Think? by : Muneeb Hafiz
Download or read book Can Muslims Think? written by Muneeb Hafiz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Europe goes astray, deeply conflicted about where it is within and with the world, it does not know what it wants to know about, or do, with the racial subject. In this situation, the Muslim becomes an intense source of anxiety, one that is at once terrifying and called to answer for Europe’s existential fear of relegation. Islamophobia thus represents both the racism constitutive of European modernity and is also symptomatic of contemporary transformations in racist power, knowledge, and governance, propelled by technologies and economies of endless wars on terror. But how might the Muslim speak about the world, its past, and unfolding terrors? Which questions must she answer, and which answers does Europe deem acceptable? Presenting a speculative theory of the post-racial subject of Islamophobia, Can Muslims Think? is an attempt to build a vocabulary for analyzing the complexities of racism today, its potential futurity, and techniques for its dismantling.

Book excerpt: This book examines the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand that took place in March 2019. The massacre sent some shockwaves across Muslim communities in the west.

There is no doubt this massacre is a blood-stained scar in the history of Muslim migration into West. This massacre reminds us of the historical grudge between Muslim and Christian communities. It remids us of the nostalgia of the Crusades and Spanish Muslim exodus. It reminds us of the history of Holocaust. The Muslim community should learn some lesson from this incident.

The growing presence of a Muslim minority has invited these two Pacific settler states to closely consider the question of Muslim integration into Western society. This collection discusses the future of religio-cultural pluralism, multicultural policies, and the growing demands for greater emphasis on assimilation.

Recommended for scholars of anthropology, religious studies, sociology, and political science.
Download or read book Husna's Story written by Farid Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Husna's Story is written by Husna's husband Farid Ahmed. They were praying at El Noor Mosque in Christchurch when a gunman burst in and shot and killed 51 people and injured many others in a terrorist attack. This book tells Husna's story, describing the day of the attack - in all of its normal, mundane detail up until the tragedy, and then the horrendous tragedy of what followed. Interwoven with this is the story of Husna's life, telling of the selflessness and bravery with which she lived her life. As well as looking after her paraplegic husband, Husna was an important member of the community, helping women when they were giving birth, running classes for children and helping many others. Her last selfless act was going back into the mosque to look for her husband on that fateful day. She had already led the other women and children to safety. Tragically she was shot. Husna's husband, Farid Ahmed, quite incredibly, forgives the alleged killer. His remarkable philosophy of forgiveness, peace and love is an example of how religion and faith, through personal application, can be a tool for navigating the most horrific of tragedies.
Download or read book Invisible written by Jacqueline Leckie and published by Massey University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite our mythology of benign race relations, Aotearoa New Zealand has a long history of underlying prejudice and racism. The experiences of Indian migrants and their descendants, either historically or today, are still poorly documented and most writing has focused on celebration and integration. Invisible speaks of survival and the real impacts racism has on the lives of Indian New Zealanders. It uncovers a story of exclusion that has rendered Kiwi-Indians invisible in the historical narratives of the nation.

Book Synopsis Shame, Modesty, and Honor in Islam by : Ayang Utriza Yakin
Download or read book Shame, Modesty, and Honor in Islam written by Ayang Utriza Yakin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a particular emphasis on definitions, continuities, and change, this edited volume examines the historical role and function of haya' or feelings of shame, modesty, and honor in Islamic theology and law, and explores contemporary Muslims' engagements with the concept. The book explores various conceptions of haya' and the practices associated with the concept in both Muslim majority and minority contexts. The empirically rich contributions reveal how haya' is socially constructed in varying social and cultural environments across the globe. From medieval Islam to the modern day, this book demonstrates the importance of haya' and its temporal and spatial transformations.
Book Synopsis The Crusades and the Far-Right in the Twenty-First Century by : Charlotte Gauthier
Download or read book The Crusades and the Far-Right in the Twenty-First Century written by Charlotte Gauthier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging the Crusades is a series of concise volumes (up to 50,000 words) which offer initial windows into the ways in which the crusades have been used in the last two centuries, demonstrating that the memory of the crusades is an important and emerging subject. Together these studies suggest that the memory of the crusades, in the modern period, is a productive, exciting, and much-needed area of investigation. This volume explores how crusading rhetoric, iconography, and historiography have been purposed by far-right, nationalist, and related groups in the recent past through case studies as varied as Brenton Tarrant, who killed 51 people at a mosque and Islamic centre in New Zealand in March 2019; a modern American ‘military order’ that uses memes to recruit members and spread its ideology; and the bestselling video game Assassin’s Creed. As nationalist and far-right ideologies have gained adherents in Europe and the Americas, understanding how ideologues have misused the crusading past for their own ends is more important than ever. The Crusades and the Far-Right in the Twenty-First Century is useful for all students and scholars interested in the intersection between the history of the crusades and far-right ideology in the modern age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ Church massacre has sent some shockwaves across Muslim communities in Europe. No one expected Muslim devotees will be butchered in a broad day light like this in any western countries. There is no doubt this massacre is a blood scar in the history of Muslim migration into Europe. It is estimated that more than 40 million Muslims live in different parts of European continent.

This mass shooting sends some bad tiding about the future of Muslim community in Europe. It reminds us the historical grudge between Muslims and Christian communities. It reminds us nostalgia of crusades and Spanish Muslim exodus. It reminds us the history of Holocaust. The Muslim community should learn some lessons from this massacre. Christ Church massacre epitomise Islamophobia sentiment. This massacre cannot be a coincident or an accidental event, rather it must be some dirty politics and conspiracies behind this shooting. This book explores the social phenomenon of Islamophobia. It traces its origin and genus in relation to Christ Church shootings. How should Muslim community in Europe encounter it and what should it do to mitigate the threat of Islamophobia attacks? How should Muslim community encounter far groups and what should it do to eradicate Muslim extremism?
Book Synopsis The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities by : Paul Morris
Download or read book The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities written by Paul Morris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public interest in the religion of Islam and in Muslim communities in recent years has generated an impetus for Western Universities to establish an array of Institutes and programs dedicated to the study of Islam. Despite the growth in number of programs dedicated to this study, very little attention has been paid to the appropriate shape of such programs and the assumptions that ought to underlie such a study. The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities attempts to address two central questions that arise through the teaching of Islam. Firstly, what relation is there between the study of the religion of Islam and the study of those cultures that have been shaped by that religion? Secondly, what is the appropriate public role of a scholar of Islam? After extensive discussion of these questions, the authors then continue to address the wider issues raised for the academic community having to negotiate between competing cultural and philosophical demands. This edited collection provides new perspectives on the study of Islam in Western Institutions and will be an invaluable resource for students of Education and Religion, in particular Islamic Studies.
