Ziel der Arbeit ist es, herauszufinden, ob der Islam mit dem säkularen Staat vereinbar ist. Mit Blick darauf und im Bewusstsein der Bedeutung dieser Fragestellung für die Gesellschaft in Deutschland, die hier lebenden Muslime, von denen die Mehrheit aus der Türkei stammt, aber auch für die Mehrheitsgesellschaft, konzentriert sich die Arbeit auf den türkischen Islam und seinen Diskurs in Bezug auf das türkische Religionsverfassungsrecht. Zunehmend gerät jedoch auch die Frage in den Mittelpunkt, ob die Türkei im Umgang mit dem Islam für die islamische Welt im Nahen Osten in gewisser Weise ein Vorbild sein kann. Da die oben genannte Fragestellung, wie sie Gegenstand der Arbeit ist, aus deutscher Perspektive gestellt wird, wurde der Untersuchung zugleich das deutsche Religionsverfassungsrecht als Maßstab zugrunde gelegt. Dieser methodisch rechtsvergleichende Ansatz ermöglicht nicht nur den Vergleich der religionsverfassungsrechtlichen Systeme, sondern darüber hinaus auch eine Transferleistung, nämlich die Auswertung des türkisch-islamischen Diskurses, der sich zwar auf das türkische Religionsverfassungsrecht bezieht, so aber ins Verhältnis zum deutschen Religionsverfassungsrecht gesetzt, und entsprechend im Sinne der Fragestellung ausgewertet werden kann.

The paper deals with the situation of sexual minorities in Bangladesh. Bangladesh, although historically a relatively tolerant and open-minded Muslim majority country, remains conservative on sexual matters. Therefore, large sections of Bangladesh's society seem to reject each sexual orientation which is perceived as "non-traditional" and portrays heterosexuality as the only accepted cultural norm. In consequence, homosexuality is becoming criminalized to such an extent that not only cultural values and societal norms but also national laws are in serious conflict with internationally accepted human, gender, and sexual rights.

This paper focuses on the study of Islamic Political Thought of Nurcholish Madjid and M. Amien Rais about Islamic state in Indonesia. Nurcholish Madjid required secularization, as an effort and rationalization of religious desecration. In this context, religion is not only understood as an integral dimension of the sacred (holy) with all its appliances. But there are many parts changed, because it is sociological. According to Nurcholish, secularization is the way that Muslims needed to be done, so that the public can distinguish between social phenomena and the phenomenon of transcendent revelation.
This essay compares figurations of racialized soldiers in the U.S. military to argue that while they may stand as proof of democratic nation and polity, they also serve as reminders of the unfulfilled promise of equality and inclusion and reveal the duplicitous role of the military in the reproduction and maintenance of racial, gender, class, and sexual hierarchies. Focusing on figurations of Muslim and Asian American soldiers in particular, the essay argues that they embody this contradiction and reveal the boundaries between "citizen" and "enemy" to be both flexible and precarious.

It is found that there are a number of grievances held, though three are of particular concern and revolve around funding issues, confusion of the overarching aims of the strategy, and suspicions of intelligence gathering and spying within Muslim communities.

An examination of the protection of refugees & internally displaced persons (IDPs) under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) & other Conventions notes that, although almost half of the world's 16 million refugees are from Muslim countries, Islam/Islamic sharia do not provide a comprehensive legal system for the protection of refugees & IDPs. Potential difficulties in reconciling the Islamic & the international point of view of human rights are discussed, along with the prospects for establishing an internationally recognized Islamic legal framework for protecting refugees.
