The subsequent War on Terror and its extension to Iraq, assaults on Muslims in many Western countries, and the recent bombing in Jakarta have brought to the fore many issues deserving attention and analysis. These include the prospects of conflict and co-operation between the Muslim world and the West including Australia and the future of Muslim communities in Australia. Islam and the West addresses these and other issues from a specifically Australian perspective. 04 01 http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/0868406791.jpg UNSW Press 01 UNSW Press 04 20050101 01 235 mm 02 155 mm 08 330 gr UNIREPS 02 21 02 34.95 UNIREPS 05 AU 04 01 20050101 1850655162 03 02 1850655162 03 9781850655169 15 9781850655169 BB http://www.unireps.com.au/isbn/1850655162.htm 1 A01 Adelkhah, F 224 JFSR2 02 The election of Mohammad Khatami as President, the prospect of renewed dialogue between Tehran and Washington, and the display of popular rejoicing that greeted the nation's football team's qualification for the 1998 World Cup have shed light on aspects of everyday life in post-revolutionary Iran which have often been overlooked in the West.

Using this phenomenon as a starting-point, the contributors consider what circumstances prompt Muslim populations to experience a sharp fertility decline and ask whether there are elements of Islamic belief that require a different approach to understanding relative fertility trends and reproductive behaviour in Islamic and in non-Islamic populations.

A schism has emerged between mainstream Islamist movements in the Muslim world and the uprooted militants who strive to establish an imaginary ummah, or Muslim community, not attached to any particular society or territory. Roy provides a detailed comparison of these transnational movements, whether peaceful like Tablighi Jamaat and the Islamic brotherhoods, or violent, like Al Qaeda. 04 01 http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/1850655987.jpg Hurst 01 C.

This perception was reinforced by Washingtons rhetoric and its claims that the post-invasion Iraqi insurgency was being assisted by the Syrian intelligence service. Wieland argues that the West must not ignore Syrias robust tradition of secularism, and cautions that US attempts to undermine the current regime may, paradoxically, embolden the Islamists and help the regime to maintain its authoritarian grip on power. 04 01 http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/1850658013.jpg Hurst 01 C.

The separation of church and state, the rule of law, enhanced state power and authority, toleration of religious sects within an independent civil society, the citizens freedom from organised religion, the relegation of religious belief to the private sphere - all such secularising trends are perceived as benefits. However, in the Arab Middle East, Western-inspired secularism as implemented by such figures as Attatrk and Nasser is increasingly cited by Islamist intellectuals as the source of the regions social dislocation and political instability.

While Islamic groups had an ambivalent and generally muted impact on the legal repudiation of slavery, a growing religious commitment to abolition was essential if legislation was to be enforced in the twentieth century. Drawing on examples from the whole 'abode' of Islam, from the Philipines to Senegal and from the Caucasus to South Africa, Gervase Clarence-Smith ranges across the history of Islam, paying particular attention to the period from the late 18th century to the present.

This is the first book to focus on the history of this region-especially the role of local mullahs, or Muslim clerics. Sana Haroon examines religious organisation and mobilisation in the North-West Frontier Tribal Areas, a non-administered region on the Indo-Afghan border. The Tribal Areas was defined topographically as a strategic zone of defence for British India, but also determined to be socially distinct and hence left outside the judicial, legislative and social institutions of greater colonial India. 04 01 http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/1850658544.jpg Hurst 01 C.
