MUSLIMS AND VIOLENCE
This paper tries to explain the relationship between Muslims' problems and violence in the light of a clear distinction between Islam and Islamic political thought. This research emphasizes on the fact that Koran and Sunnah aim at guiding mankind to the right path of knowing and worshipping God; they are not political treatises; Islam could live without a Muslim State even before the instauration of the prophet's State; nowadays, millions of Muslims live under the rule of non Muslim governments or Muslim governments that do not enforce the Islamic law, yet Islam continues to flourish; hence, no Islamic political thought, albeit useful and justified at a certain time, place, or circumstances is to be sanctified because that will certainly lead to a political blockage which could yield violence.

Are Muslims hated?
In: Index on censorship, Band 34, Heft 2, S. 167-172
ISSN: 0306-4220
In an 8 January 2005 current affairs series an interview with various Muslims debates the reality and perception of Islamophobia in Britain today. Muslims live in fear of a threat that has been exaggerated by community leaders, anti-racists and government ministers. Author contends that there is little evidence of a major backlash against Muslims, yet there is plenty of evidence that the threat of Islamophobia is being used to silence critics of Islam. The interview provides a broad spectrum of views and also reflects on the 1979 anti-racist protests that took place in Southall, Britain against the National Front.
On the Muslim question
In: Public square book series
In the post-9/11 West, there is no shortage of strident voices telling us that Islam is a threat to the security, values, way of life, and even existence of the United States and Europe. For better or worse, "the Muslim question" has become the great question of our time. It is a question bound up with others--about freedom of speech, terror, violence, human rights, women's dress, and sexuality. Above all, it is tied to the possibility of democracy. In this fearless, original, and surprising book, Anne Norton demolishes the notion that there is a "clash of civilizations" between the West and Islam. What is really in question, she argues, is the West's commitment to its own ideals: to democracy and the Enlightenment trinity of liberty, equality, and fraternity. In the most fundamental sense, the Muslim question is about the values not of Islamic, but of Western, civilization. Moving between the United States and Europe, Norton provides a fresh perspective on iconic controversies, from the Danish cartoon of Muhammad to the murder of Theo van Gogh. She examines the arguments of a wide range of thinkers--from John Rawls to Slavoj Žižek. And she describes vivid everyday examples of ordinary Muslims and non-Muslims who have accepted each other and built a common life together. Ultimately, Norton provides a new vision of a richer and more diverse democratic life in the West, one that makes room for Muslims rather than scapegoating them for the West's own anxieties.
Jugoslawiens Muslime
In: Südosteuropa-Mitteilungen, Band 29, Heft 2, S. 105-115
ISSN: 0340-174X
Ausgehend von einem Rückblick auf die zeitgeschichtliche Entwicklung des Verhältnisses zwischen Staat/Partei und Muslimen in Jugoslawien (Ustasa-Staat, sozialistische Förderation) setzt sich die Autorin mit den Konsequenzen des starken Anstiegs des muslimischen Bevölkerungsanteils auseinander. Im Zentrum ihrer Untersuchung steht das aus dem wachsenden nationalen Selbstbewußtsein der jugoslawischen Muslime sich ergebende politisch-ideologische und kulturelle Konfliktpotential. (BIOst-Hml)
