Islamic identity and the Turks in West Germany / Peter Antes -- Islam in Germany and the German Muslims / Klaus Kreiser

Examines the situation of non-Muslims living in Muslim countries of the Middle East & North Africa during the current period of rapid Islamization. It is argued that the decrease in the proportion of non-Muslims is largely the result of intermarriage & international migration, indicating a receptive attitude within non-Muslim communities to the Muslim environment, as well as openness to the outside world within these nations. The history of religious minorities living in Muslim countries of the Middle East & North Africa is traced from pre-Islamic & colonial times to the present, noting various stages of Islamization, factors that interrupted them, & ways in which nation-states provided an institutional & ideological framework that allowed Islamization to resume. Key reasons for emigration to other countries by members of religious minorities are discussed, along with the impact of intermarriage, & the positive but "silent" forces of differing birth/death rates on the religious composition of populations. Future demographic prospects for non-Muslim minorities in Muslim countries of the Middle East & North Africa are assessed. 1 Table. J. Lindroth

Tensions between Muslim communities and host societies and governments; some emphasis on Great Britain.

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)
