Kajian ini bertujuan mengurai perdebatan yang terjadi antara agama dan negara, dimana setiap agama mempunyai sikap yang berbeda dalam hubungan antara agama dan negara tersebut. Metode kajian dilakukan melalui studi pustaka atas penelitian yang berkaitan dengan persoalan tersebut. Melalui perspektif politik David Easton dan politik Islam kontemporer, secara garis besar terdapat dua arah dalam memandang agama Islam dan Negara Indonesia. Pertama, Islam merupakan agama yang monoteistik dan mencakup segala aspek kehidupan dan dalam rangka mengimplementasikan ajaran tersebut secara utuh, maka berdirinya negara Islam merupakan suatu keharusan. Kedua, Islam dan Indonesia sudah berkait dalam suatu prinsip dasar berbangsa dan bernegara yaitu Pancasila, bahkan jika dicermati sila satu Pancasila "Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa", sila tersebut mengisyaratkan monoteistik. Dan apabila dibandingkan dengan agama lain konsep ketuhanan dalam agama Islam menganut kepercayaan kepada satu Tuhan (monoteis). --- This study aims to parse debate between religion and state, where each religion has a different attitude in the relationship between religion and the state. The method of the study carried out through a literature study on research related to the issue. Through David Easton's political perspective and contemporary Islamic politics, there are broadly two directions in viewing Islam and the Indonesian State. First, Islam is a monotheistic religion and encompasses all aspects of life, and in order to implement the teachings in full, the establishment of an Islamic state is a must. Secondly, Islam and Indonesia have been linked in a fundamental principle of nationhood and state, namely Pancasila, even if observed by the precepts of one Pancasila "Godhead of the Almighty", the precepts imply monotheism. And when compared to other religions, the concept of God in Islam embraces the belief in one God (monotheist).

This study examines the relationship between populism, nationalism and religion through evidence from Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) rule. The literature on the populism's rapport with nationalism has developed in isolation from the burgeoning theorization of populism-religion nexus. This study has a two-fold contribution. Theoretically, it advances a historical approach to deepen our understanding of the widespread appeal of contemporary populism. It argues that populism can capitalize on unique contextual fusions of religion and ethnic (secular) nationalism that originate from historical legacies and ideas of modern nation-building to (re)construct the antagonistic discourse dividing the society into two camps of 'the people' and 'the elites'. Empirically, by drawing upon discourse theory and empirical analysis of the AKP's public discourse, the study offers a nuanced approach to the AKP's much-debated stance on religion as an ideology versus instrument. Three areas are investigated to exemplify AKP's construction of populist dichotomy: a) ethnic and religious minorities, b) women, and c) youth. The analysis reveals that the AKP has built three different, and at times, contradictory articulations of 'people as underdogs', 'people as nation' and 'people as the ummah' against 'the secular elites', 'the enemies within' and 'the West', respectively.

Wie kann sich christliche Theologie jenseits von Vereinnahmung oder Selbstrelativierung auf den Islam beziehen? Welche Folgen hat die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Islam für den christlichen Glauben? Die mitunter kontroversen Positionen aus verschiedenen theologischen Disziplinen vermitteln ein Panorama der gegenwärtigen Diskussion. Sowohl für die theologische Reflexion als auch für den konkreten Dialog ergeben sich daraus viele Anregungen.

"Während die Integrationsdebatte in kulturell verstandenen Dichotomien geführt wird, haben wissenschaftliche Studien herausgefunden: Islamische Religiosität ist kein Hindernis für das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben in Deutschland." (Autorenreferat)

Challenging the similarly romantic, a historic and irreconcilable notions of Islamic and Western cultures, this book cuts through conventional wisdom and common cliches to highlight the plurality and historicity of both. For Aziz Al-Azmeh, the Orientalist and racist view of Islam is nothing but the mirror-image of the myths propagated by the Islamic fundamentalists and radicals. In this book he demonstrates both views share an erroneous and an historical conception of Islam as an unchanging and monolithic entity. Moreover, this analysis dissects the mutual implication of both the dominant Western discourse and its supposed primary opponent, postmodernism, in this form of essentialism. There is no one, homogeneous Islam, and this book highlights the diversity and plurality of forms of the Muslim tradition, seeking to understand historically the phenomenon of fundamentalism, amongst other strands, as a profoundly modern ideology. Challenging the stereotypes and legends of both its opponents and proponents, the book traces how political Islam breaks with core elements of the Muslim tradition and, at the same time, roots many of its concepts in European reactionary and romantic thought
