Assessment of the president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov; the inner-Chechen conflict; and Chechen fighters on both sides in Russia's war against Ukraine reveals how internal conflicts become crucial for international structures and how transnational dynamics - such as foreign fighter flows - pose challenges to the interplay of national and international law. By anticipating the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine beyond the Zeitenwende in Germany and Europe, policy-makers will increase readiness and preparedness for the ongoing but also post-war period. Kadyrov's ambitious presence in Russia's war against Ukraine is a double-edged sword: his loyalty toward Putin is one factor in maintaining political security; yet he is overplaying his hand and contributes to the intensification of new-old conflicts that challenge Russian politics. As an Islamic politician, Kadyrov positions himself as the spokesperson for Russian Muslims and a link between Moscow and regimes in the Middle East. For Putin, amid Russia's international isolation, Kadyrov is a flexible, non-binding, and low cost means in this context. Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered high foreign fighter movements from Europe to Ukraine that challenge the interplay of national and international law and make Germany a likely destination for returning European fighters.

"In this book, Mashal Saif explores how contemporary 'ulama, the guardians of religious knowledge and law, engage with the world's first and most populated Islamic nation-state: Pakistan. In mapping these engagements, she weds rich ethnography with rigorous textual analysis and offers insight into some of the most significant and politically charged issues in recent Pakistani history. These include debates over the rights of women; the country's notorious blasphemy laws; the legitimacy of religiously mandated insurrection against the state; sectarian violence; and the place of Shi'as within the Sunni majority nation. These diverse case studies are knit together by the project's most significant contribution: a theoretical framework that understands the 'ulama's complex engagements with their state as a process of both contestation and cultivation of the Islamic Republic by citizen-subjects. This framework provides a new way of assessing state-'ulama relations not only in contemporary Pakistan but also across the Muslim world"--

Die Verbindung des Islam mit der christlichen Reformation beschreibt, in welchen Bereichen sich die Einfluesse des Islams auf Europa waehrend des Mittelalters auswirkten. Amin al-Huli zeigt aus einer evolutionstheoretischen Sicht auf die europaeische Religionsgeschichte, dass und wie diese Einfluesse sich in die Grundsaetze der Reformation erstrecken. Die Ereignisse der Reformation erweisen sich in ihrer Kritik am Katholizismus als durch islamische Grundsaetze mit motiviert. Die Beobachtung gewinnt Plausibilitaet durch die Unterscheidung, wie beide Religionen durch die Art ihrer Paradoxieentfa

Der islamische Faktor spielt in den zentralasiatischen Republiken, was die künftige politische Entwicklung betrifft, eine nicht zu unterschätzende Rolle. Die Rückbesinnung der moslemischen Bevölkerung auf ihre Religion bringt gleichzeitig neue Strömungen innerhalb der islamischen Geistlichkeit mit sich. Bei den führenden Kräften und Persönlichkeiten muß zwischen denen mit politischem und denen mit rein geistlichem Führungsanspruch sowie zwischen Konservativen und Liberalen unterschieden werden. Der Verfasser geht - nach einer kurzen Darstellung der islamischen Bewegung während der Sowjetzeit - insbesondere auf die neuere Entwicklung in Tadzikistan und Kyrgistan ein. (BIOst-Rgl)
