'Mehr als eine Million Menschen protestierten Ende April 2007 in der Türkei gegen die Präsidentschaftsambitionen des amtierenden Außenministers Abdullah Gül von der religiös-konservativen Gerechtigkeits- und Entwicklungspartei (AKP). Sie befürchten im Falle seiner Wahl eine massive Islamisierung von Staat, Politik und Gesellschaft, welche das Ende der republikanisch-laizistischen Grundordnung des Landes nach sich ziehen könnte, die Staatsgründer Kemal Atatürk eingeführt hatte. Das kemalistische Militär drohte offen mit Putsch im Falle einer erfolgreichen Wahl Güls. Premierminister Recep Tayyip Erdogan lenkte ein und verkündete Neuwahlen. Damit ist die Krise zwar kurzfristig entschärft, doch folgende Frage bleibt virulent: Welche Rolle soll der Islam in Staat, Politik und Gesellschaft spielen? Das ambivalente Verhältnis von Islam und Laizismus in der Türkei untersucht der Autor in seinem vorliegenden Report. Dabei analysiert er die De-Säkularisierungsprozesse und die Politisierung des Islams in der Türkei und geht der Frage nach, inwieweit von der regierenden AKP eine Gefahr für die republikanische Grundordnung ausgeht. Der Autor kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Staat, Politik und Gesellschaft in der Türkei mehrheitlich säkularisiert sind und dass von der AKP keine 'islamistische Gefahr' ausgeht. Vielmehr stellt er fest, dass das kemalistische Laizismusverständnis dogmatisch und undemokratisch ist. Daher plädiert er dafür, dieses zu reformieren und - solange demokratische Prinzipien an erster Stelle stehen - der Religion mehr Raum in der Politik zu geben.' (Autorenreferat)
Against a historical background marked by "the most radical secular revolution of any state in the Muslim world," the Turkish state over the past decade has faced an Islamic fundamentalist challenge to its secular basis. The Turkish version of radical Islam, like that elsewhere in the Middle East, has asserted itself effectively in all aspects and at all levels of society, making a stark contrast between the sixty years of the republic and the period since 1980. It is not surprising, therefore, that the causes for the emergence of Islamic political radicalism, its nature, and its possible effects on the system have aroused scholarly interest.
Abstract This paper assesses the fundamental relation between the Islamic-political movements and establishment of the Islamic law (Shari'a). I argue against the critiques of western foreign policy and show that the Islamic State (Caliphate) is both a result of the historical process of the people of a region and the extreme interpretation of the text and Sunna which emphasizes on the traditional Sharia law and the concept of Jihad by fortifying political Islam qua militant Islam. I argue that the Islamic revival aims to a certain political order which threatens the world security and peace. Moreover, I argue that the structural violation of Human Rights is rooted in the traditional concept of Islamic law or Sharia, which obtains its immunity by an illegitimate power. This traditional Islamic law is the inalienable character of authoritarian/totalitarian regimes. This paper is based on the assumption that the extreme ideological/theoretical interpretation implies the empirical objectives of Militant Islamic community with or without any external influential elements. In this sense, we can address the question: how different interpretations and traditions in executing the Islamic Sharia give the social and political grounds a seed for the emergence of violence and terrorism. At the end, this paper ends with a propose which emphasizes on the role of international cooperation to find a resolution and also on the education as a long-term plan to defeat extremism and terrorism.
"This edited volume examines the 18th century roots of the often-troubled marriage of politics and religion in the Muslim world and their impact on contemporary developments, including the globalization of Islam in the 21st century"--
Fortjener det tyrkiske demokratiet å bli holdt frem som et eksempel til etterfølgelse for andre muslimske stater? Og hvor relevant er nasjonens muslimske identitet for videre demokratisering i Tyrkia i dag?
