| Summary/Abstract |
Italy is the first European arrival country for many Egyptian migrants. A first wave of Egyptian male migrants in Italy was followed by a family reunification phase, with the result that the number of Egyptian women increased in the last decades. Studies of their diasporic experience, nonetheless, are still rare. In particular, analysis of women’s relationship with Islam is needed. Building on the anthropological work which has recently showed how the everyday constitutes a useful analytical category in relation to Islam, the aim of this article is to describe and analyse women’s activities in a mosque in Turin during the years 2011–13. I argue that the role of religious spaces in the context of emigration goes beyond the religious sphere, and women’s participation should therefore be understood from a dual perspective: religious and spiritual, on the one hand, and social and cultural, on the other. The description of women’s everyday practices in religious space allows for a reflection on how migration shapes new Islamic identities that are co-constituted with morality, secularism and displacement. The article contributes to the debate on ‘everyday Islam’ by showing that the effects of migration on the religious experience, far from being homogeneous, can encompass both normativity and resistance.

| Summary/Abstract |
The author analyzes the current state of affairs in the Muslim community of Kyrgyzstan and its relations with the state.
Emerging and developing amid never-ending conflict, the community has inevitably become relatively radicalized (the faithful are divided into jamaats) and, at times, destructive.
The author offers his own cures for the old and new problems of relations between the state and the Muslim community, the resolution of which is absolutely indispensable for their future development.

| Summary/Abstract |
April 2012: In Dambulla, a bustling market town built around a crossroads on the northern cusp of Sri Lanka's central province, a mosque was attacked by a procession of protestors led by the chief priest of the nearby Buddhist temple. Ostensibly the protest was against the presence of the mosque on the grounds that it had been built in an exclusively Buddhist 'sacred area'. Beginning with an empirical account of the attack on the Dambulla mosque, this paper argues that the preservation of what is deemed to be 'sacred' in Sri Lanka provides an effective idiom through which certain religious figures can intelligibly articulate political claims whilst maintaining critical distance from the dirty world of 'Politics'. Corollary to this, and drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Dambulla, the paper explores the various different meanings of politics locally: highlighting the interplay of everyday politicking and high-profile political performance.
