Scholars credit the European Renaissance and Enlightenment to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, when Greek scholars in particular were driven from the Byzantine capital, taking with them everything they had learned about their own Greek intellectual heritage and classical philosophical tradition, thanks, in part, to the scholarly enterprise of Islamic scholasticism and a spirit of intellectual cooperation that had existed until that time. The "expulsion of excellence" that followed closely on the heels of Mehmed II's military victory in 1453 proved problematic for an emergent, modern-Muslim

Throughout the history of the Crusades, liturgical prayer, masses, and alms were all marshaled in the fight against Muslim armies. In Invisible Weapons, M. Cecilia Gaposchkin focuses on the ways in which Latin Christians communicated their ideas and aspirations for crusade to God through liturgy, how public worship was deployed, and how prayers and masses absorbed the ideals and priorities of crusading. Placing religious texts and practices within the larger narrative of crusading, Gaposchkin offers a new understanding of a crucial facet in the culture of holy war.

Häufig wird in politischen Feuilletons und in der gesellschaftlichen Debatte 'dem' Islam unterstellt, er sei archaisch und kaum entwickelt, weil er im Gegensatz zu Europa keine Phase der Aufklärung durchlaufen habe. Unklar bleibt dabei aber häufig, was überhaupt unter Aufklärung zu verstehen ist. Dieser Band besinnt sich auf das Erbe der europäischen Aufklärung und plädiert für ein differenziertes und vernunftbasiertes Denken in Anlehnung an Immanuel Kant. Folgt man diesen Prinzipien, dann können islamisch geprägte Strömungen durchaus aufgeklärt sein, wie die Beispiele liberaler Muslime heute und arabischer Denker in der Vergangenheit eindrucksvoll vor Augen führen. Dieses Plädoyer für ein 'erweiteres Denken' im 21. Jahrhundert sichert das Erbe der Aufklärung und zeigt in der Auseinandersetzung mit 'dem' Islam, dass die Aufklärung auch heute noch Wesentliches zum Verstehen Anderer beitragen kann. PD Dr. Georg Cavallar lehrt und forscht am Institut für Philosophie und Pädagogik an der Universität Wien.

This books investigates the background and nature of the Ottoman Jihad proclamation, but also its effects in the wider Middle East. It looks at the German hopes and British fears of a worldwide rising of Muslims in the colonial empires. It also discusses the fierce academic debates caused by the Jihad proclamation, in which the 1915 manifesto of Leiden Islam scholar Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje ("Holy War Made in Germany") played a key role. This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.

Antimuslimischer Rassismus bedeutet nicht nur Feindschaft, Diskriminierung und Angsthaltung gegenüber "dem" Islam, gegenüber Muslimen und als solche wahrgenommenen Personen sowie islamischen Einrichtungen. Wie die Debatte um einen "Kampf der Kulturen" zeigte, ist die Auseinandersetzung auch zutiefst von hegemonialen Interessen geprägt. Nach Ende des Kalten Krieges und vermehrt seit "9/11" spielen ideologische Fragen und Deutungsformen über "den" Islam eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Absicherung und Legitimation westlicher Politik. Innenpolitisch wurde Antimuslimischer Rassismus auch zum Abbau sozialer Rechte geschürt, während zugleich soziale Widersprüche durch rassistische Spaltungen verschleiert werden. Zudem werden tradierte Vorurteile gezielt zur Umsetzung repressiver Politik genutzt. Damit gehen zunehmend Militäreinsätze in islamisch geprägten Ländern einher. Inva Kuhn geht der Theorie und Praxis von Antimuslimischem Rassismus nach und fragt nach Antworten seitens antirassistischer Politik

Maria Grazia Martino and her contributing authors highlight the different solutions found by European countries with different ecclesiastical law systems, different distributions of Christian denominations and different percentages of Muslim immigrants: Germany, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Italy and Greece. Churches and religious communities are actors from civil society. The state sets the framework for their activities, first and foremost by formal legal acts in ecclesiastical law. Besides this field of law, religion policy has increasingly developed into a policy field of its own. Which in

The five Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan constitute an area of increasing importance in global politics. The region currently serves as the main route for transporting American and NATO supplies and personnel into Afghanistan. Its Turkic Muslim peoples share ethnic and religious roots with China's Uighurs in neighboring Xinjiang, where some Uighurs have connections to the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, fueling Beijing's already acute fears of terrorism and separatism. Perhaps most importantly, the Caspian basin holds immense reserve

This ground-breaking documentary history contains over 150 primary sources originally written in 15 languages by or about Sephardi Jews-descendants of Jews who fled medieval Spain and Portugal settling in the western portions of the Ottoman Empire, including the Balkans, Anatolia, and Palestine. Reflecting Sephardi history in all its diversity, from the courtyard to the courthouse, spheres intimate, political, commercial, familial, and religious, these documents show life within these distinctive Jewish communities as well as between Jews, Muslims, and Christians.Sephardi Lives offer readers a

Humans have been uttering profane words and incurring the consequences for millennia. But contemporary events-from the violence in 2006 that followed Danish newspaper cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed to the 2012 furor over the Innocence of Muslims video-indicate that controversy concerning blasphemy has reemerged in explosive transnational form. In an age when electronic media transmit offense as rapidly as profane images and texts can be produced, blasphemy is bracingly relevant again.In this volume, a distinguished cast of international scholars examines the profound difficulties blas
