ISLAMISTISK RADIKALISERING
Spørsmål knyttet til politisk islam utgjør fortsatt utfordringer for europeisk utenrikspolitikk i Midtøsten og Nord-Afrika (MENA). Etter hvert som EUs politikk har forsøkt å komme overens med slike utfordringer i løpet av det siste tiåret eller så har politisk islam utviklet seg. Eksperter peker på den økende kompleksiteten og variasjonen av trender innen politisk islam. Noen islamistiske organisasjoner har styrket sitt engasjement for demokratiske normer og engasjert seg fullt ut i fredelig, mainstream nasjonal politikk. Andre forblir giftet med voldelige midler. Og atter andre har drevet mot en mer stillferdig form for islam, løsrevet fra politisk aktivitet. Politisk islam i MENA-regionen presenterer ingen enhetlig trend for europeiske beslutningstakere. Analytisk debatt har vokst rundt konseptet "radikalisering". Dette har igjen skapt forskning på faktorene som driver «avradikalisering», og omvendt, «re-radikalisering». Mye av kompleksiteten stammer fra den utbredte oppfatningen om at alle tre av disse fenomenene skjer samtidig. Selv vilkårene er omstridt. Det har ofte blitt påpekt at den moderat-radikale todelingen ikke fullt ut klarer å fange nyansene av trender innen politisk islam. Noen analytikere klager også over at snakk om "radikalisme" er ideologisk ladet. På terminologinivå, vi forstår radikalisering å være forbundet med ekstremisme, men synspunktene er forskjellige når det gjelder sentraliteten til dets religiøst-fundamentalistiske versus politiske innhold, og over hvorvidt viljen til å ty til vold er underforstått eller ikke.
Slike forskjeller gjenspeiles i holdningene til islamistene selv, så vel som i utenforståendes oppfatninger.
ISLAM, ISLAMISTER, OG VALGPRINSIPPET I MIDTØSTEN

To Be A Muslim
Fathi Yakan
All praises to Allah, and blessings and peace to His Messenger.This book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the characteristics that every single Muslim should portray in order to fulfill the conditions of being a Muslim in both belief and practice. Many people are Muslim by identity,because they were ”born Muslim” from Muslim parents. Theymay not know what Islam really means or its requirements, an dso may lead a very secular life. The purpose of this first partis to explain the responsibility of every Muslim to become aknowledgeable and true believer in Islam.The second part of this book discusses the responsibility to become an activist for Islam and participate in the Islamic Movement. It explains the nature of this movement and its goals, philosophy, strategy, and tactics, as well as the desirable characteristics of it members.The failure of various movements in the Islamic world, and especially in the Arab countries, result from a spiritual emptiness in these movements as well as in society generally. In sucha situation the principles and institutions of Islam are forgotten.The westernized leaders and movements collapse when they encounter serious challenges. These leaders and movements and the systems of government and economics they try to imposehave fallen because they lacked a solid base. They fell becausethey were artificial constructs copied from alien cultures anddid not represent the Muslim community. Therefore they wererejected by it. This situation is comparable to a kidney transplantin a human body. Although the body is able to tolerate it painfully for a short period of time, eventually the kidney willbe rejected and die.When the sickness of the Muslim Ummah became acute few Muslims thought of building a new society on Islamic principles.Instead many tried to import man made systems and principles, which looked good but really were grossly defectiveand so could be easily toppled and crushed.
de 500 mest innflytelsesrike muslimer
John Esposito
Ibrahim Kalin
Publikasjonen du har i hendene er den første av det vi håper blir en årlig serie som gir et vindu inn i bevegelsene og rysterne i Muslimworld. Vi har strebet etter å markere mennesker som er innflytelsesrike som muslimer, det er, mennesker hvis innflytelse kommer fra deres praksis med islam eller fra det faktum at de er muslimer. Vi tror at dette gir verdifull innsikt i de forskjellige måtene muslimer påvirker verden på, og viser også mangfoldet av hvordan folk lever som muslimer i dag. Innflytelse er et vanskelig konsept. Betydningen stammer fra det latinske ordet influensbetydning til innstrømning, peker på en gammel astrologisk idé som usynlige krefter (som de samme) påvirke menneskeheten. Tallene på denne listen har evnen til å påvirke menneskeheten for mye. På en rekke forskjellige måter har hver person på denne listen innflytelse på livene til et stort antall mennesker på jorden. De 50 de mest innflytelsesrike figurene er profilert. Deres innflytelse kommer fra en rekke kilder; men de forenes av det faktum at de hver påvirker enorme områder av menneskeheten. Vi har da brutt opp 500 ledere inn 15 kategorier - vitenskapelig, Politisk,Administrativ, Avstamning, Forkynnere, Kvinner, Ungdom, Filantropi, Utvikling,Vitenskap og teknologi, Kunst og kultur, Media, Radikale, Internasjonale islamske nettverk, og dagens spørsmål - for å hjelpe deg å forstå de forskjellige måtene islam og muslimer påvirker verden på i dag. To sammensatte lister viser hvordan innflytelse fungerer på forskjellige måter: InternationalIslamic Networks viser mennesker som står i spissen for viktige transnasjonale nettverk av muslimer, og Issues of the Day fremhever individer hvis betydning skyldes aktuelle spørsmål som påvirker menneskeheten.
Beyond Post-Islamism
Ihsan Yilmaz
With the increased international prominence of Turkey and its successful and internationallyrespected AK Party government, the Academia’s attention has focused on the Turkish Islamistexperience. Turkey had already been seen as an almost unique case as far Islam-state-secularismdemocracyrelations were concerned but the recent transformation of Turkish Islamism coupledwith the global turmoil in the post-9/11 world has made the Turkish case much more important.While Turkish Islamists’ recent transformation that has brought about their rise to the power hasbeen applauded at home and abroad, there are relatively very few studies that analyze theirtransformation by taking into account the unique experience of Turkish Islamism starting from the18th & 19th centuries’ Ottoman secularization, Young Ottomans of the 1860s and the Ottomanconstitutionalism and democracy. Dessuten, some dynamics that affected the change in theTurkish Islamists’ Islamic normative framework have not been analyzed in detail. Og dermed, this studyendeavors to analyze the main factors behind the newly emerged tolerant normative framework ofthe AK Party leaders who were formerly Islamists. After showing that there are good historicalreasons arising from the Ottoman experience of secularism and democracy and arguing based on abrief theoretical discussion of the plurality of Islamisms, it argues that the Turkish Islamism hasalways differed from the other Islamist experiences. Derfor, in this study, a detailed evaluationof the Turkish Islamist experience starting from the Young Ottomans is undertaken. Then, thispaper attempts to show that Islamic groups’ physical and discursive interaction has been a crucialfactor in the Turkish Islamism’s transformation. Main premise of this paper is that the Gülenmovement has been the most influential factor that has helped the AK Party leaders to develop amore tolerant normative framework and to eventually jettison their Islamism. It is of coursedifficult to establish casual relationship between two social phenomena but one can underscorecorrelations. As the main hypothesis is that the Gülen movement has been the most influentialfactor in the normative transformation of the former Islamists’ mental frameworks and theirreligio-political worldviews, this paper provides a comparative discourse analysis betweenFethullah Gülen’s and Islamists’ ideas on several issues that have been relevant for both Islamismand newly-emerged post-Islamism. To identify these relevant issues (secularism, pluralism,demokrati, rule of law, nationalism, state, Islamisme, religiosity, the other, borders and dialogue),the paper provides a brief theoretical discussion of Islamism and post-Islamism that will also helpthe reader to understand the fundamental differences between Islamism and the Gülenian thought.
ISLAMIC MODERNITIES: FETHULLAH GULEN and CONTEMPORARY ISLAM
FAHRI CAKI
The Nurju movement1, being the oldest moderate Islamist movement which is probably peculiar to Modern Turkey, was broken into several groups since Said Nursi, the founder of the movement, passed away in 1960. At the present time, there are more than ten nurcu groups with different agendas and strategies. Despite all their differences, today the Nurju groups seem to acknowledge each other’s identity and try to keep a certain level of solidarity. Theplace of the Fethullah Gulen group within the Nurju movement, derimot, seems to be a bit shaky.Fethullah Gulen (b.1938) split himself, at least in appearance, from the overall Nurju movement in 1972 and succeeded in establishing his own group with a strong organizational structure in the 1980’s and the 90’s. Due to the development of its broad school network both in Turkey and abroad2, his group attracted attention. Those schools fascinated not only Islamist businessmen and middle classes but also a large number of secularist intellectuals and politicians. Although it originally emerged out of the overall Nurju movement, some believe that the number of the followers of the Fethullah Gulen group is much larger than that of the total of the rest of the nurju groups. Ennå, there seems to be enough reason to think that there was a price to pay for this success: alienation from other Islamist groups as well as from the overall Nurju movement of which the Fethullah Gulen group3 itself is supposed to be a part.
