Doceren over (politieke) islam in tijden van IS en Syrie-strijders Universiteit Gent
De plicht tot definitie. Over de mogelijkheidsvoorwaarden van een islam in het Westen Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Het ziet ernaar uit dat Europa eindelijk toe is aan een pijnlijk maar louterend ontwaken. Ooit zullen historici zich over de vraag buigen waarom het zo lang duurde voor de westerse intellectuelen doorhadden dat hun permissieve zwaktebod desastreus moest aflopen. Heel de periode tussen 1970 en vandaag is verloren gegaan aan politiek correcte beuzelpraat van de linkerzijde, die steeds maar weer de verlichtingsfilosofie toepaste op een absoluut ...
Continuities and ruptures of the governance of Islam in Malaysia Vrije Universiteit Brussel
(From the introduction by the editors)
Meerschaut and Gutwirth discuss development of the relations between the state and Islam within Malaysia, from pre-colonial times onwards. Whereas in a European context the accommodation of religious or customary law and courts is usually seen as a choice in favour of 'culture' rather than 'rights', the Islamic family law reforms in Malaysia conceive of Islamic law as a regime of rights. The ...

Mutual Fear between Islam and the West: An Conceptual and Deconstructive Approach (al-Khawf al-mutabādal bayna al-islām wa ’al-gharb) KU Leuven
After more than two decades of intellectual and media interest in the duality of Islam and the West on various occasions and meetings and through different writings and publications, today I had the opportunity to formulate a set of ideas on an important issue, which is the phenomenon of Islamophobia. About this topic, a number of studies, research, articles and papers have been written in record time, but our main purpose is not to describe ...
Representations of Islam in the News: A Cross-Cultural Analysis KU Leuven
The results from the research project “Cultural values in the news : a cross-cultural content analysis of the representation of Islam in the European press”, funded by the Flemish Research Foundation “FWO-Vlaanderen” (2012-2015)” are reported in this book. The representation of Islam is unquestionably a critical test for comparing journalistic reporting across countries. The Islamic religion has weight in international reporting (defining what ...
The Image of Islam in the Contemporary Dutch Orientalism (Sūrat 'al-'Islām fi 'l-'Istišrāq 'al-Hulandi 'al-Mu'āṣir) KU Leuven
Cette étude tente d'être incluse dans la tendance qui appelle à l'investissement des efforts des institutions universitaires et scientifiques européennes, afin de corriger le stéréotype formé chez un grand nombre d'Européens et d’Occidentaux sur l'islam, en utilisant des mécanismes linguistiques, de recherche et de communication utilisés par ces institutions mêmes, ce qui nécessite tous les soins, en particulier à la lumière des défis sérieux ...
Political Islam according to the Dutch Universiteit Gent
The Dutch attitude towards Islamist movements or U+201Cpolitical IslamU+201D is as much determined by internal developments in the Netherlands as those in the Middle East. It is not so much political Islam itselfU+2014of which people know littleU+2014but rather the process of secularization that has swept the Netherlands during the past half century. This accounts for the Dutch distrust of religion and its imposed restrictions and dogma. As a ...
Laying the foundations for Islam in Western Europe in the interwar period: Muslim religious institutions and European colonial policies KU Leuven
This dissertation aims to provide an overview of the institutionalization and development of Islam in the first half of the twentieth century in various cosmopolitan centers across Western Europe. This approach contributes to filling a gap in European religious history, which often perceives Islam as alien and does not tend to view it as an essential part of Europe's modern history. The thesis assesses the Islam policies of Britain, Germany and ...
