This article examines the political implications of the vibrant social life of the city of Kayseri in Turkey. By using qualitative data collected by participant observations and in-depth interviews, we discuss the traditional form of gatherings called oturmalar. We evaluate the lively participation in public gatherings whose borders blur public, private, and religious fields in the light of more theoretical debates on the public sphere and situated within the literature on the public sphere in the Middle East.

| Summary/Abstract |
Following the overthrow of Husni Mubarak, al-Gama‘a al-Islamiyya and members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad created two political parties. This article investigates these groups’ organizational dynamics and internal dialogues in order to uncover the rationale of their political participation after the January 2011 uprising and its internal ideational legitimization. Based on interviews with leaders and members of these two groups and their political parties, this article argues that these formerly violent insurgent groups embraced nonviolent participation in democratic politics through an internal reassessment of the political opportunities afforded to them by Egypt’s brief political opening.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article presents Islamic women’s framing processes in their campaigns to address women’s political underrepresentation in Iran and Turkey. It argues that while Turkish women justify their claims through international human rights discourses, Iranian women frame their demands in religious terms to find resonance with political elites. Women’s strategic framing processes demonstrate the extent to which women’s demands for equal representation are shaped by the political and discursive opportunity structures that arise out of their secular or theocratic contexts

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores Egyptian Salafis’ attempts to securitize Shi‘ism since the 2011 uprising. Taking into account the sectarian dynamics of the new Middle East, Salafis in Egypt have instrumentally used the specter of Shi‘ism in their politico-religious rhetoric to further their political ends. This article examines the rationales behind this discourse by assessing interacting internal and external dynamics amid identity conflicts in the region, which have subsequently affected Egypt.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the rise and fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt after the 2011 uprising. It analyzes the Brotherhood’s behavior and strategy since taking power in June 2012, exploring the underlying factors leading to their downfall in 2013. The article argues that the short-lived Islamist government’s fall can be ascribed to three key factors: its lack of a revolutionary agenda, the Brotherhood’s organizational stagnation and inertia, and its leaders’ incompetence and inexperience in governance.
