Provocative, insightful, and passionately argued, this book attempts to bring some perspective to an increasingly polarized debate on the crisis ofiberalism among Indian Muslims. It raises some profound issues at the heart of the crisis fuelled on the one hand by the growing influence of Wahhabism on Indian Islam”and on the other, by the rise of aggressive right-wing Hindu nationalism which has alienated even moderate Muslims. The book takes head-on the fundamental question: Isiberalism and Islam compatible or mutually exclusive? In doing so, it examines the way Islam is being preached and practiced both in India and abroad, to find answers to such niggling questions as: Who is a "good Muslim''? What constitutes the Muslim identity? Why do Muslims across the world remain silent instead of raising their voice for reform of regressive practices such as stoning? The decline ofiberal Islam in India, it argues, flows from the wider crisis in Islam globally. Upholding the syncretic "Ganga-Jamni tehzeeb'' that characterized Indian Islam, it tries to bring back the emphasis oniberal values of acceptance and inclusivity. It also dissuades secularists against trying to push through sweeping reforms in India before the community is ready for it, warning of a possible hardline ... Unknown localization key: "more"

THE NO 1 BESTSELLER***A true story of murder and vengeance, a shattered community and a miscarriage of justice that echoes down the decadesOctober 1971. Nineteen-year-old Una Lynskey vanishes near her home in Co. Meath. In the weeks that follow, and on flimsy grounds, gardaí identify three young local men as suspects. Within days of her body being found, one of the three is beaten to death by members of Una’s family.The entire sequence of events is a tragedy in a quiet rural community - the wrong men jailed, no one ever facing justice - and becomes one of the most notorious failures in Irish policing and judicial history.In Who Killed Una Lynskey?, award-winning journalist Mick Clifford has built a compelling portrait of the case from interviews with the surviving main players, as well as exclusive access to the files of a private investigator who uncovered information the gardaí missed - or ignored.A timely, humane and compulsive read, this is a ground-breaking account of the botched investigation and its devastating consequences for not just four devastated families, but also the reputation of the gardaí.---''A brilliant book'' Nicola Tallant, Crime World Podcast''A grim, unsettling and sometimes desperately sad book - but also ...

Paul L. Heck's Political Theology and Islam offers a sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of sovereignty in Islamic society, beginning with the origins of Islam and extending to the present. This wide-ranging study sets out to answer an unassumingly tricky question: What is politics in Islam? Paul L. Heck's answer takes the form of a close analysis of sovereignty across Islamic history, approaching this concept from the perspective of political theology. As he illustrates, the history of politics in Islam is best understood as an ongoing struggle for a moral order between those who occupy positions of rulership and religious voices that communicate the ethics of Islam and educate the public in their religious and moral devotions. In this sense, sovereignty in Islam is split between ruling powers and pious communities, whose interactions range from close cooperation to outright competition. Heck shows that it is precisely through these interactions that Islamic conceptions of sovereignty are constructed and negotiated. Political Theology and Islam's first section spells out the concepts and methods for the study of politics in Islam as a struggle for a moral order, one not only involving varied claims to sovereignty but also a general determination to realize the righteousness ...

A concise new narrative history of Islam that draws on the transformative insights of recent research to emphasize the diversity and dynamism of the traditionToday’s Muslim world is in upheaval: legalists and mystics engage in intense debates, radical groups invoke Sharia, Muslim immigrants in the West face prejudice and discrimination, and Muslim feminists advocate new interpretations of the Koran. At the same time, Islam is mischaracterized as unitary and unchanging by people ranging from right-wing Western politicians claiming that Islam is incompatible with democracy to conservative Muslims dreaming of returning to the golden age of the prophet. Against this contentious backdrop, this book provides an essential and timely new history of the religion in all its astonishing richness and diversity as it has been practiced by Muslims around the world, from seventh-century Mecca to today. Most popular histories of Islam continue to repeat conventional pietistic accounts. In contrast, John Tolan draws on decades of new historical research that has transformed knowledge of the origins and development of the Muslim faith.

No word in English evokes more fear and misunderstanding than ''jihad''. To date the books that have appeared on the subject in English by Western scholars have been either openly partisan and polemical, or subtly traumatised by so many acts and images of terrorism in the name of jihad, and by the historical memory of nearly one thousand four hundred years of confrontation between Islam and Christianity. War and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses of Jihad aims to change this.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history’ Eugene RoganFrom its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

For decades the liberal class was a defence against the worst excesses of power. But the pillars of the liberal class, the press, universities, the labour movement, the Democratic Party, and liberal religious institutions,have collapsed. In its absence, the poor, the working class, and even the middle class no longer have a champion. In this searing polemic Chris Hedges indicts liberal institutions, including his former employer, the New York Times , who have distorted their basic beliefs in order to support unfettered capitalism, the national security state, globalization, and staggering income inequalities. Hedges argues that the death of the liberal class created a profound vacuum at the heart of American political life. And now speculators, war profiteers, and demagogues, from militias to the Tea Party,are filling the void.

For many in the English-speaking world, Islam remains a mysterious religion. What is Islam in the first place? Does it mean "peace," or does it mean "submission"? Can it mean both? What is jihad?

In this compact volume, an expert in the study of Islam provides explanations for more than one hundred important Islamic concepts and terms, which are divided into major sections: texts, history, faith and belief, practice and religious duties, jurisprudence, and movements. Ayman Ibrahim first introduces the section, then defines each concept or term briefly. Readers can read a chapter at a time or flip through the book to find concepts or terms as needed. Each term is described based on original Muslim sources, mainly written in Arabic, as well as ample scholarly studies.This introductory guide is written for anyone with little to no knowledge of Islam.

This study presents an analysis of the Welsh Liberal Party under the leadership of Emlyn Hooson. It begins with an overview of the period prior to Hooson’s 1962 by-election win in Montgomery, following the death of Clement Davies, and the first section describes Hooson’s leadership of the Liberal Party of Wales, his recognition that the organisation was fundamentally flawed and that it needed to be reorganised. The solution was a root and branch reorganisation and the formation of a new state party, which would be federated to the British Liberal Party but separate in its functions and leadership. The second section details Hooson’s steering of the party through chapters on the organisation, policy formation and the electoral record. The book comprises the first in-depth description of the Welsh Liberal Party during a tumultuous time in Welsh politics; recognising how current Welsh political historiography has sidelined the Welsh Liberals in favour of Plaid Cymru and Labour, it re-evaluates the Liberals’ position during the period and Hooson’s role.Â

Kniha - autor P. Curzio Nitoglia,, česky Odkud pochází Islám je studie italského kněze P. Curzio Nitoglia o původu tohoto náboženství. Vychází přitom z vědeckého čtyřsvazkového díla francouzského dominikánského teologa a renomovaného historika P. Théryho. Podle něj pochází Islám přímo z pokřesťanského židovství. Stejně tak tvrdí, že ani Alláh ani archanděl Gabriel nebyli ti, kdo inspirovali proroka Mohameda, dle jeho bádání to byl rabín z Mekky. Tyto teze mohou snad někomu znít neuvěřitelně až provokativně. Kněz P.C. Nitoglia je navíc doplnil řadou - veřejnosti dosud zcela neznámých - výroků a postojů odborníků. Pro pochopení knihy P.C. Nitoglia je velice vhodným doplňkem i stručná studie německého magistra teologie Johannese Rothkranze Wer steuert den Islam?, Durach 1998, Verlag Anton A. Schmid (v českém překladu Kdo skutečně řídí islám?).

Kniha - autor David Nekola, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Lze spojovat islám, náboženství staré přes 1400 let, s násilím? Je islám zdrojem současného terorismu, který se někteří zdráhají nazvat islámským, stejně jako odmítají označení Islámský stát? Některé pasáže Koránu jsou mírné a nevybízejí k násilí, některé naopak požadují zotročení a zabíjení nevěřících, avšak i samotná Bible obsahuje násilné příběhy a s křesťanstvím se též pojila krvavá období. Odlišuje se tedy islám od křesťanství? A co Korán a Bible? Jaký je vztah muslimské kultury k násilí? Může mít islám vliv na inteligenci věřících a hospodářskou úroveň muslimských zemí? Na tyto a mnoho dalších otázek spojených se současnou migrací převážně z muslimských zemí se pokouší autor odpovědět v této "politicky nekorektní" knize.

Conflict or concord? The history of Islam, from its emergence in early seventh century Arabia and its explosive growth into the wider Middle East, is often portrayed as a story of the struggle with and conquest of the Christian people of Greater Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. Alternatively, the?appearance of Islam is characterized as being welcomed by the conquered, whose existing monotheistic faiths of Christianity and Judaism were tolerated and even allowed to flourish under Muslim rule. In this concise but in depth survey of the almost nine centuries that passed from the beginning of the spread of Islam up to the Ottoman Turkish conquest of Syria and Egypt beginning in 1516, Constantin Panchenko offers a more complex portrayal of this period that opens up fresh vistas of understanding, focusing on the impact that the appearance of Islam had on the many forms of Christianity they encountered, principally the Orthodox Christian communities of the Middle East. In particular he illuminates the interplay of their Greek cultural heritage with increasing Arabization over time. This is essential reading for those who want to gain an understanding of the history of the Middle East in these centuries and of how the faith of Orthodox ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''A powerful corrective'' Guardian ''This should be compulsory reading'' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads‘For anyone interested in the future of Islam, both in Britain and the Islamic world, this is an important book’ The Times The gulf between Islam and the West is widening. A faith rich with strong values and traditions, observed by nearly two billion people is seen by the West as something to be feared rather than understood. Sensational headlines and hard-line policies spark enmity, while ignoring the feelings, narratives and perceptions that preoccupy Muslims today. The House of Islam seeks to provide entry to the minds and hearts of Muslims the world over. It introduces us to the kindness of Mohammed, the beauty of Islamic art and the permeation of the divine in public spaces; and the tension between mysticism and literalism that still threatens the religion. Ed Husain expertly and compassionately guides us through the nuances of Islam and its people, contending that the Muslim world need not be a stranger to the West, nor its enemy, but a peaceable ally.

From Pakistan to Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan to Nigeria, from Senegal to Turkey, it is not unusual in modern times for women in Muslim-majority countries to be appointed and/or elected to high offices, including heads of state. Nor has it ever been. Stretching back nearly to the founding of Islam itself, women have held positions of political power in numerous Islamic nations and empires. Some ascended to office in their own right; others served as regents for incapacitated husbands or male successors then too young to rule. Some proved insightful and able administrators, courageous military commanders, or both; others differed little from their equally flawed, power-hungry male counterparts, and sowed the seeds of their own downfalls. Queens Of Islam examines the lives of fifteen of the most remarkable female leaders of Muslim dynasties, empires, and caliphates - from Islam''s earliest centuries through the end of the seventeenth century. Their stories demonstrate that throughout the faith''s long history there were many women who achieved positions of power and served as effective rulers, revered by those they governed while being respected - even feared - by their contemporary world leaders. Entertaining and informative, Queens Of Islam is rife with palace intrigue, sex scandals, power-grabs, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Who Really Killed Claire? re-investigates the brutal yet apparently motiveless murder of 16-year-old Claire Tiltman in Greenhithe, Kent in 1993.It describes how police investigations faltered for almost 20 years until Colin Ash-Smith, due to be released from a long prison sentence for attacks on young women, was belatedly charged with this cold case murder.One of the UK''s very first cases involving ''bad character'' evidence under a controversial new law. Expertly researched, the book revisits the crime scene, investigation, prosecution, media frenzy and questionable urgency that led to Ash-Smith''s pre-emptive arrest and conviction for murder.Meanwhile, A predatory serial killer was eliminated from the investigation despite ''hallmarks'' making him a strong suspect. Well placed to raise doubts, ex-cold case investigator Alan Jackaman analyses the wholly circumstantial evidence and explains why he believes police became too preoccupied with the wrong man.Alan Jackaman spent over 25 years as a police officer, including with the Metropolitan Police dedicated Murder Investigation Team and Murder Review Group looking into unsolved murders. He is the author of Napper: Through a Glass Darkly.

V předkládané knize autor zkoumá, jak se k učení Ježíše Krista staví islám, a zabývá se otázkou ideologických a teologických rozporů mezi těmito dvěma světovými náboženstvími. Lhoťan se tak snaží překlenout mnohdy příliš povrchní pohled na islám převažující v České republice. Kniha poukazuje nejen na zásadní rozdíly mezi interpretací postavy Ježíše Krista v islámu a křesťanství, nýbrž také poukazuje na problémové části mezináboženského dialogu, kdy křesťané mnohdy podléhají strachu z kritiky kontroverzních části islámu. Přitom by však části islámu, jež jsou neslučitelné nejen s křesťanstvím, ale i s civilizovanou společností ctící humanitu a lidskou svobodu, neměly být přehlíženy.V Čechách a na Moravě bývá součástí islámské misie místy až agresivní a lživá agitace zaměřující se proti křesťanství, kdy je muslimy využíváno protikřesťanských a protikatolických nálad v české společnosti. Tato kniha proto představuje sumarizaci základních faktů potřebných pro pochopení problému islámu a islamizace, a to nejen křesťany, ale i ateisty. Byť je autor bývalým muslimem, jenž se po studiu života Ježíše Krista přiklonil ke křesťanství, uctívá jako zásadní hodnotu danou Bohem právo na svobodu přesvědčení. Jeho kniha tedy není zamýšlena jako prezentace pozitivního obrazu křesťanství na úkor islámu či ateismu, spíše má být české společnosti jakýmsi varováním, poněvadž vlivem současné expanze islámu ...
