Die nationalsozialistische Rundfunkpropaganda auf Arabisch spielte während des Zweiten Weltkrieges eine besondere Rolle innerhalb der deutschen Auslandspropaganda. Die von NS-Seite als Gemeinsamkeiten identifizierten Feindbilder der europäischen Kolonialmächte, des Bolschewismus und des Judentums bildeten zusammen mit einer nationalsozialistischen Bewunderung für den Islam die Grundlage der inhaltlichen Ausrichtung. Die Zuständigkeiten bezüglich der Auslandspropaganda innerhalb des NS-Staates waren dabei zwischen Propagandaministerium und Auswärtigem Amt umkämpft, was zu einer teils inkohärenten Propagandastrategie führte. Zur Steigerung der Authentizität wurde großer Wert auf Muttersprachler wie den Iraker Yunus Bahri gelegt. Konzeptionell bestimmten jedoch deutsche Orientalisten und Propagandisten das Programm. Anhand der "Neu-Arabischen Stilproben" des Arabisten Gerhard Rott lässt sich ein einzigartiger Einblick in die Arbeitsweise und Inhalte des ersten Jahres der arabischsprachigen Sendungen gewinnen. Die Rolle von arabischen Exilpolitikern im Dienst der NS-Propaganda, wie dem Mufti von Jerusalem, war dabei geringer als oftmals dargestellt. Die deutschen Sender agierten nach der vom BBC-Mitarbeiter Sefton Delmer geprägten Definition der "weißen" und der "schwarzen" Propaganda und verfolgten mit den Stationen Radio Berlin und "Concordia A" unterschiedliche Strategien. Anhand der Radikalisierung des Programms und der zunehmenden Hetze gegen Juden sowie der Instrumentalisierung des Islam lässt sich veranschaulichen, wie die Dynamik des Kriegsverlaufes sowie die fortschreitende Judenvernichtung in Europa auch die deutschen Beeinflussungsversuche außerhalb Europas prägten. Abschließend wird ein Versuch unternommen, auf die Wirkung der Propaganda über 1945 hinaus in der arabisch-islamischen Welt einzugehen.

On September 28, 1009, Caliph al-Hakim had the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem destroyed. How did it come to this? What did it mean for contemporaries? Why were Jews persecuted as a result? Did it interrupt the stream of pilgrims to Jerusalem? What do we know about al-Hakim's personality? How was the crisis mastered? How was the church rebuilt? These are the questions considered in an interdisciplinary discourse by scholars of Arabic, Byzantine, Jewish, medieval and Nordic studies, as well as art historians and experts on the Christian East.

The publication of the first volume of a new critical edition of the Ethnica of Stephanos of Byzantium gives occasion to enumerate the eleven toponyms on the Ethiopian side of the Erythraean Sea which are mentioned in this geographical lexicon. Furthermore an attempt is made to localize the Abasenoi, a tribe in Arabia, which are identical with the Ḥabašat, taking in account the agricultural products of their country. Concerning the harbour of Adulis, which is the origin of the ʿadawlī-ships in early Arabic poetry, further testimonies of this town in literary sources are adduced and a plausible South-Arabian etymology of the name Adulis is proposed.

Ibn Khalduns Einführung in seine Universalgeschichte gehört zu den bahnbrechenden Werken der Geschichtswissenschaft. Der Jurist und Gelehrte Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) diente mehreren Herrschern als Wesir, Gesandter oder Richter - immer auf der Suche nach einer gerechten und weisen Herrschaft. Seine Biografie, die ihn in den Kerker, in höchste Ämter und ins Exil führte, liest sich stellenweise wie ein Abenteuerroman. In seiner berühmten «Einführung», der «Muqaddima», beschreibt er gesellschaftliche, kulturelle und klimatische Faktoren als Ursachen für den Aufstieg, die Blüte und den Untergang von Dynastien. Damit wird er zu einem unzeitgemäßen Vorläufer einer modernen Soziologie und Geschichtswissenschaft, dessen Werk auch für die heutige Zeit eine Fülle von Anregungen enthält. Alma Giese hat für diese Ausgabe einen großen Teil des Gesamtwerks übersetzt. Nicht übersetzte Abschnitte werden in knappen Zusammenfassungen wiedergegeben, so dass der Leser erstmals in deutscher Sprache einen Überblick über das gesamte Werk erhält. Eine kundige Einführung in Leben und Werk Ibn Khalduns sowie Erläuterungen zu Personen, Orten und Begriffen runden die Ausgabe ab. Alma Giese, geb. 1944, Dr. phil., ist Islamwissenschaftlerin und gilt als einschlägige Kennerin der islamischen Literatur des Spätmittelalters. Wolfhart Heinrichs, geb. 1941, ist James Richard Jewett Professor of Arabic an der Harvard University.

This article considers debates about the detrimental effects of urban change in late nineteenth-century Cairo in the context of a history of the body. Contrasting arguments about Cairo's corrupting influence that surfaced in the Arabic language press with earlier debates on the transformation of the city, the author argues that the urban middle class began to see a connection between city life and the damage of the male body at the turn of the nineteenth century. As claims about Cairo's damaging effects gave way to new bodily practices and building projects, this article views the emergence of suburbs and the spread of sports in the Egyptian capital around 1900 as interrelated to a form of body politics.

The publication in a Danish newspaper of twelve caricatures depicting prophet Mohammed e.g. as a sexist bomber caused shock waves in the Islamic world in January. Muslims criticized the demeaning portrayal of their prophet by demonstrating - sometimes violently - & boycotting Danish products. Whereas the German media mostly focused on the reactions in the Arabic countries, Iran, Afghanistan, & Pakistan, the author of this article explores the reactions in Indonesia & Malaysia. The author believes that these two countries' reactions to the cartoon conflict indicate the level of their democratic development. The author describes: 1) the ban on images in Islam; 2) the violent riots of Indonesia; 3) the discussion of press freedom in Malaysia, & 4) in conclusion compares the reactions in the two countries.

After Sudan became independent in 1956, millions lost their lives in two civil wars (1963-1972 & again since 1983). A historical analysis shows that the conflicts are not to be reduced to primordial, ethnic, or religious divisions between an "Arabic North" & an "African South." Rather, different elites have tried to legitimize their rule by constructing images of the Sudanese past that are mutually exclusive. These historiographies are part of the conflicts & intensify them. Initially, they grew out of a system of indirect rule that is both colonial & native in origin & that was continued after independence. The different historiographies & the system of indirect rule continue to block the prospects for political & economic development in Sudan. Adapted from the source document.
