Muslim Minorities And The Law In Europe

In Europe, millions of Muslims are living in secular democratic states by their own choice, contributing to the societies they are living in and forming now a new part of European identity. European secular legal orders grant them religious freedom and equal rights. However, the legal integration of Islam, being much less institutionalised than Christianity or Judaism, has become a challenge for European legal orders. They have to find ways for granting the full range of rights to Muslim individuals and groups by re-reading the existing rules without touching their validity as such. This book discusses the above issues and tries to find out answers for questions like does Shari'a contain intrinsic instruments to develop rules in consistence with this binding legal framework? Are Muslims defining themselves as being a minority living in the Diaspora? Are there perspectives for them to actively participate in societal institutions, based on a self-understanding of simply being an integral part of the societies they are living in?

Muslims In The Deccan

Muslims of South Asiarepresent a major chunk of the billion and a half strong Islamic ummah. Within the South Asian subcontinent, Muslims of the Deccan represent a highly visible, upwardly mobile, culturally productive segment of the ummah. However, systematic work on the history of the growth and evolution of the Deccani Muslims based on primary sources is lacking. To date no work exists on the history of the Deccani Muslims. Based on thorough research using primary sources, field observations, and personal interviews, Omar Khalidi’s work Muslims in the Deccan: A Historical Survey, fills a major gap in the history of Islam in South Asia.

Inter-Religious Marriages Among Muslims

This book presents interdisciplinary studies of inter-religious marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims (as well as between members of different Muslim communities) in locations in three societies: Bombay, India; Dakar, Thies, and Ziguinchor in Senegal; and Istanbul, Turkey. The country studies are united by a distinct theoretical approach, detailed in the Introduction. This approach proposes that the phenomenon of inter-religious marriage is a unique prism through which we can understand the complex processes and dynamics by which religious, cultural, and social identities are negotiated at the level of individuals, families, and communities. The country studies combine an emphasis on the contextual nature and understanding of identities with the narratives of the agents and actors in inter-religious marriages. Each study locates the phenomenon of inter-religious marriage with respect to law, sociocultural practices and norms, history of community relations, and other factors such as political events, that provide the broad context within which inter- religious marriages take place in that society. At the heart of each study is an analysis of interviews conducted with spouses in an inter-religious marriage.
