Book excerpt: Issues of integration, multiculturalism and policies of ethnic and religious minority rights have gained greatly in significance in recent years, especially in relation to Muslims. This book deals with the Muslim minority in New Zealand, with special emphasis on policy aspects relevant to the integration of Muslims in the host society. The book also discusses many other issues, among which are Muslim political representation, inner coherence of the Muslim community, effects of public policies, differentiated citizenship, gender issues and gender equality, and points of friction with the encapsulating host society, including the effects of sharia application, radicalism and the fallout of the Danish cartoon affair.

Book excerpt: In Muslim Integration: Pluralism and Multiculturalism in New Zealand and Australia, contributors from a range of backgrounds investigate the state of Muslim integration in New Zealand and Australia. 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. Contributors examine issues such as parallel societies, Islamophobia, radicalization, tolerance, adaptation and mutual adjustment, legal pluralism, the role of mosque architecture, and media depictions of Muslims are examined. Recommended for scholars of anthropology, religious studies, sociology, and political science.

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.

Download or read book Handbook of Contemporary Islam and Muslim Lives written by Ronald Lukens-Bull and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive handbook which for the first time provides a general yet detailed discussion of contemporary Islam and various aspects of Muslim lives. It offers a much needed tool for an introduction to the world of contemporary Muslim life and debate, and a link of continuity between the Muslim world and Muslims living and born in the West. The reader gains access to articles by leading scholars who observe phenomena in a post-9/11 context and from a global viewpoint. The topics have been carefully selected to provide the reader with both the necessary general view that a good handbook must offer while presenting details and information, as well as ethnographic examples, to inspire further research and interest. Indeed, each chapter will offer topical reading suggestions from which one can expand the material discussed in the chapter. The approach of the handbook is mainly social-anthropological, but attention is given to other disciplines like history, geography, political studies, as well as gender studies and cultural studies.

Download or read book Being Muslim in Auckland, New Zealand written by Helen Shirley King and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between young Muslim women living in Auckland, New Zealand's perceptions of the way the Western media represents Muslims and Islam, and the construction of identity as Muslim women in the West. Qualitative methodologies were used in this study. Fourteen young Muslim women aged between 18-25 years old participated in semi-structured interviews and two focus groups. Ten of the young women migrated to New Zealand with their families, the majority under the Skilled Migrants Scheme, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The families came from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Kurdistan, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, India, and Pakistan. Two were granted, along with their families, entry as refugees from Morocco and Afghanistan, and two were born in New Zealand. The outcome of the semi-structured interviews and focus groups was an account of the experience of migrant women growing up in New Zealand as Muslims. Many of my participants reported their childhood years as a time of conformity in mainstream society and of the retention of culture and religion being confined to the domestic sphere. The events of September 11 occurred when the young women were in school and had a long lasting effect on their lives. For some, the backlash against Islam following September 11 motivated them to seek "the truth" about their religion. During their teenage years a desire to explore their religion grew, and joining Islamic organizations either at university or mosques helped shape an emergent Muslim identity. Wearing the hijab was central to their identity as Muslim women and a public symbol of their devotion to Islam. Of my participants, 13 wore the hijab. The young women were aware of the perception that Muslim women who wore the hijab were oppressed by their religion. However, rather than oppressing the young women, they believed the hijab was liberating because it allowed them not to be judged on their "beauty" and to move freely in the public sphere. The young woman who did not wear the hijab adopted modest dress and expressed her religion by praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, adhering to gender segregation and believing in one God. The participants in this study conveyed that they felt the Western mainstream media associated Muslims and Islam with violence, terrorism and the oppression of women. These themes were also identified within academic literature examining the representation of Islam and Muslims in the media. All of the young women accessed Arab produced news media or media sources made by and for Muslims either through the internet or satellite television. This highlighted their participation in transnational media networks that linked them to their homelands and provided an alternative to Western media. The term ummah (the global Muslim network) has been used by academics to describe modern transnational Muslim networks. This thesis argues caution must be used when appropriating religious terms and giving them new meanings. Participation in protests to show their solidarity for the Arab Spring of 2011, by some of the young women from Arab nations, demonstrated how transnational networks are not necessarily drawn along religious lines for Muslims.

Download or read book Fear of a Muslim Planet written by Arsalan Iftikhar and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights lawyer Arsalan Iftikhar takes on Islamophobia through the lens of the brutal Christchurch slaughter. In March 2019, a heavily-armed white supremacist walked into two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand and slaughtered fifty-one innocent Muslim worshippers while broadcasting on Facebook Live for the world to see. After the Christchurch mosque massacre, authorities found the white supremacist’s seventy-four-page racist manifesto called “The Great Replacement,” which railed against Muslims and the idea that brown Muslim folks were ultimately going to “replace” white people in his irrational “Fear of Muslim Planet.” Fear of a Muslim Planet begins with the treacherous legacy of the white supremacist “Great Replacement” theory in the aftermath of the Christchurch massacre. One of the heroes for the Christchurch shooter was the infamous Norwegian anti-Muslim terrorist named Anders Breivik, who brutally murdered seventy-seven people in 2011 in Norway’s worst terrorist attack ever and whose own 1,500-page fascist manifesto promoted thr “Great Replacement” worldview that Muslim immigrants posed a danger to Western societies. As the book further illustrates, minority victims of the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory are not limited to Muslims alone. In October 2018, the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh was devastated when a white supremacist brutally executed eleven innocent Jewish congregants in a horrific act of anti-Semitic terrorism (it was the single deadliest attack exclusively targeting Jews ever to happen in the United States). The shooter later told police that he was inspired to commit these murders because Donald Trump was not doing enough to stop immigration. “Open your Eyes!” the shooter posted on social media in a disjointed anti-Semitic and Islamophobic manifesto. “It’s the filthy EVIL jews Bringing the Filthy EVIL Muslims into the Country!!” The presidency of Donald Trump has only exacerbated the growth of Islamophobia in America today. Fear of a Muslim Planet outlines the blatantly anti-Muslim statements and policies of Trump and his closest political circle. From telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper that “I think Islam hates us” to calling for a “complete and total shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States, the Trump presidency has only made the xenophobic specter of Islamophobia grow today. The book will also show that Islamophobia is not simply an American (or Western) problem either. Fear of a Muslim Planet will show the genocidal levels of Islamophobia in places like China and Myanmar. The European fixation on policing Muslim women’s hijab (headscarf) is another focal point. The book ends with a clarion call for mutual understanding and coexistence among people of all backgrounds, if we have the courage to summon our better selves and look beyond each other’s race, religion, and ethnic backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today about 85 per cent of the world population of Muslims live in areas outside the Arab world, and due to population growth, missionary endeavours and migration, the number of Muslims in these areas is rising rapidly. This volume presents the spread and character of Islam in many non-Arab countries, focusing particularly on the contemporary situation. The book deals with the great variety and complexity that characterize Islam outside the Arab world, with Sufism (the predominant form of Islam in most non-Arab Muslim countries), and with the growing significance of Islamism which challenges secularism and Sufi forms of Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spread of Islam eastward into South and Southeast Asia was one of the most significant cultural shifts in world history. As it expanded into these regions, Islam was received by cultures vastly different from those in the Middle East, incorporating them into a diverse global community that stretched from India to the Philippines. In Islam Translated, Ronit Ricci uses the Book of One Thousand Questions—from its Arabic original to its adaptations into the Javanese, Malay, and Tamil languages between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries—as a means to consider connections that linked Muslims across divides of distance and culture. Examining the circulation of this Islamic text and its varied literary forms, Ricci explores how processes of literary translation and religious conversion were historically interconnected forms of globalization, mutually dependent, and creatively reformulated within societies making the transition to Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobilizing Islam explores how and why Islamic groups succeeded in galvanizing educated youth into politics under the shadow of Egypt's authoritarian state, offering important and surprising answers to a series of pressing questions. Under what conditions does mobilization by opposition groups become possible in authoritarian settings? Why did Islamist groups have more success attracting recruits and overcoming governmental restraints than their secular rivals? And finally, how can Islamist mobilization contribute to broader and more enduring forms of political change throughout the Muslim world? Moving beyond the simplistic accounts of "Islamic fundamentalism" offered by much of the Western media, Mobilizing Islam offers a balanced and persuasive explanation of the Islamic movement's dramatic growth in the world's largest Arab state.
