Salafism is a fundamentalist Sunni vision of Islam. Growing in popularity in many countries, it seeks the purification of Islamic culture and religious renewal through a 'de-militantization' of the Islamic corpus. This text examines Salafism in France and looks at how this movement spread from the Gulf to Western countries.

In 1972, the Egyptian literary scholar and Islamic thinker, ʿᾹʾisha ʿAbd al-Raḥmān (known by the epithet Bint al-Shāṭiʾ), published a highly informative account of her pilgrimage journeys, ʿUmra and Ḥajj, respectively, under the title, Arḍ al-muʿjizāt: riḥla fī jazīrat al- ʿArab (Land of Miracles: Journey in the Arabian Peninsula, 1951 and 1972). The article argues that Bint al-Shāṭiʾ's pilgrimage account should be read in light of the political and economic changes that the Arab and Islamic world was undergoing at that time. Western Imperialism, and the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and its aftermath, gave more impetus to Islamic revivalism, and Bint al-Shāṭiʾ was one of its proponents. Her oeuvre on Islam and anti-Zionism attests to her revivalist project. As a Salafist thinker well versed in history, Bint al-Shāṭiʾ advocates a return to the original Islam. Only through that return to the Qur'ān and Sunna and strong devotion to the umma can Muslims regain their strength and defeat the State of Israel. Bint al-Shāṭiʾ uses the communal aspect of pilgrimage to readdress the concept of Jihᾱd that should not only be confined to Ḥajj and ʿUmra, but equally performed against social and political injustices, such as the marginalization of women and the Israeli aggression against Palestinians. The article thus contends that Bint al-Shāṭiʾ's pilgrimage narrative is a key component of her commitment literature.

Abstract
From ancient history to nineteenth century Islamic reform movements to the contemporary waves of labor migration, the Red Sea has acted as a medium where people travelled carrying their religious ideas as their cultural baggage. This article focuses on the later dynamics of synergy that evolved between Saudi Arabia and Egypt as the latter sought to introduce revivalist Islamic norms in 2012–2013. Based on ethnographic material collected in the period from the rise of the Islamists to power in the parliament and presidency in 2012 to the military takeover in July 2013 and its aftermath, in addition to literature review of primary sources of Saudi and Egyptian Islamic scholars' fatwas and speeches, this article covers the multiple facets of the response to this wave among different groups in the Salafi movement. Focus is directed to the discussion of women's role in the public sphere, and the transformation in the concept of obeying the ruler, where new constellations of what democracy means were pragmatically incorporated in new political settings.
