Islam is the religion of the majority of Arab citizens in Israel and since the late 1970s has become an important factor in their political and socio-cultural identity. This leads to an increasing number of Muslims in Israel who define their identity first and foremost in relation to their religious affiliation. By examining this evolving religious identity during the past four decades and its impact on the religious and socio-cultural aspects of Muslim life in Israel, Muhammad Al-Atawneh and Nohad Ali explore the local nature of Islam. They find that Muslims in Israel seem to rely heavily on the prominent Islamic authorities in the region, perhaps more so than minority Muslims elsewhere. This stems, inter alia, from the fact that Muslims in Israel are the only minority that lives in a land they consider to be holy and see themselves as a natural

Der Islam verändert Europa, und Europa verändert den Islam. Das betrifft u. a. den Bereich des Rechts. Europäische Staatensysteme, gewachsen auf vergleichsweise homogenem kulturellem Boden, stehen angesichts der Integration der in Europa heimisch gewordenen Muslime vor enormen Herausforderungen. Zugleich wird das islamische Recht, das seit Jahrhunderten das Denken der Muslime bestimmt, in die Pflicht genommen: Es muss helfen, die Vorstellungswelt der Gläubigen gegenüber modernen europäischen Staatsprinzipien zu positionieren. Diese Veränderungen wecken Ängste und Vorurteile. Eine brisante Melange also, die das vorliegende Buch zu den 1. Münsteraner Gesprächen der Muslime aufgreift. Namhafte Wissenschaftler und namhafte Vertreter des Islam aus Deutschland und Europa beziehen Stellung.

Established in London in 2002, the Aga Khan University, Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations aims to strengthen research and teaching about the heritages of Muslim societies as they have evolved over time, and to examine the challenges these societies face in today's globalised world. It also seeks to create opportunities for interaction among academics, traditionally trained scholars, innovative thinkers and leaders, in an effort to promote dialogue and build bridges

Long description: In der aktuellen Debatte um die ´´Integrationsunwilligkeit´´ wurde die Perspektive der ´´Integrationsunwilligen´´ bisher wenig berücksichtigt. Ahmet Toprak interviewte daher Personen mit Migrationshintergrund, um ihre tatsächliche Einstellung zu brisanten Themen wie Ehre, Kopftuch, Zwangsheirat und Freistellung vom Sexual- und Sportunterricht zu erfahren. Überraschende und die gängigen Erklärungsmodelle widerlegende Antworten verdeutlichen, in welchem Ausmaß sich Mehrheitsgesellschaft und Migranten in gegenseitigen Vorurteilen festgefahren haben, zeigen aber auch Ansätze zur besseren Integration auf. Kurz: Bisherige Einsichten müssen auf beiden Seiten überdacht werden. Das Buch wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Forschungspreis 2010 der Fachhochschule Dortmund.
