Islamic movements engaging with democracy: front Islamique Du Salut (FIS) and the democratic experiment in Algeria / N, Sebastian   Article
N, Sebastian Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The recent political developments in the Arab world, in general, and in the North African states like Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, in particular, develop new enthusiasm on the interaction between Islam/Islamism/Islamic movements and democracy; especially with the institutions and practices of western liberal democracy. Islamist groups have become a critical factor in the larger politics of those states and the central focus of any serious debate on political liberalisation and democratisation in the Arab world. The 1990s witnessed a revival of Islamism in the political sphere through the increasing participation of Islamists in elections and the democratic process. It has raised some new debates on the fundamental question of the compatibility of Islam and democracy. Such debates, at times, challenged the dominant western pre-supposition that Islam and democracy are incompatible. It has become crucial in the widely discussed ‘post September 11’ global context where many groups in the west project Islamism and Islamic movements as the biggest threat to modern liberal–democratic states. The Algerian experiment with democracy in the late 1980s, which this article discusses in detail, was the first such experiment in the Arab world where Islamists actively participated in a liberal democratic election process. The developments that had taken place after the victory of Islamists in this election were crucial in framing an Islamist approach to democracy thereafter.

Israel and the northern branch of the Islamic movement / Pascovich, Eyal   Journal Article
Pascovich, Eyal Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The Israeli Islamic Movement's Northern Branch and its leader Sheikh Ra'id Salah pose a complex and multi-dimensional challenge for the State of Israel: political, national, socioeconomic and religious. Its most prominent manifestation is the movement's striving for separatism and open defiance of Israel's Jewish character. The government has sought - with limited success - to draw 'red lines' for the movement and its leaders and its occasional threats of harsher measures, including outlawing the movement, have failed to achieve the desired result.

Rise of women’s Islamism in West Asia / Ahmed, Sumaiyah   Journal Article
Ahmed, Sumaiyah Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Islamic activism of women, particularly, in the Islamic movements seems to be strange from the perspectives of the thinkers who view suspiciously towards everything attached with Islam and who perceive Islam to be radically oppressive to women, sticking to rigid ideologies which prescribe for them a subordinate role. However, despite the fact that women’s presence in the Islamic movements and parties, so far, has not resulted in an influential or vocal role for women in their parties yet their presence is neither insignificant nor unsuccessful.
