Η έκδοση που έχετε στα χέρια σας είναι η πρώτη από τις ετήσιες σειρές που ελπίζουμε ότι θα παρέχει ένα παράθυρο στους κινητές και τους δονητές του μουσουλμανικού κόσμου. Προσπαθήσαμε να αναδείξουμε ανθρώπους που έχουν επιρροή ως μουσουλμάνους, αυτό είναι, άτομα των οποίων η επιρροή πηγάζει από την πρακτική τους στο Ισλάμ ή από το γεγονός ότι είναι μουσουλμάνοι. Πιστεύουμε ότι αυτό δίνει πολύτιμη εικόνα για τους διαφορετικούς τρόπους με τους οποίους οι Μουσουλμάνοι επηρεάζουν τον κόσμο, και δείχνει επίσης την ποικιλομορφία του πώς ζουν οι άνθρωποι ως μουσουλμάνοι σήμερα. Η επιρροή είναι μια δύσκολη έννοια. Η σημασία του προέρχεται από τη λατινική λέξη influens που σημαίνει εισροή, δείχνοντας σε μια παλιά αστρολογική ιδέα ότι αόρατες δυνάμεις (σαν το φεγγάρι) επηρεάζουν την ανθρωπότητα. Τα στοιχεία αυτής της λίστας έχουν την ικανότητα να επηρεάσουν και την ανθρωπότητα. Με διάφορους τρόπους, κάθε άτομο σε αυτήν τη λίστα έχει επιρροή στη ζωή ενός μεγάλου αριθμού ανθρώπων στη γη. ο 50 Τα πρόσωπα με τη μεγαλύτερη επιρροή παρουσιάζονται προφίλ. Η επιρροή τους προέρχεται από ποικίλες πηγές; Ωστόσο, τους ενώνει το γεγονός ότι το καθένα επηρεάζει τεράστια τμήματα της ανθρωπότητας. 500 ηγέτες σε 15 κατηγορίες — Ακαδημαϊκά, Πολιτικός,Διοικητικός, Καταγωγή, Κήρυκες, γυναίκες, Νεολαία, Φιλανθρωπία, Ανάπτυξη,Επιστήμη και Τεχνολογία, Τέχνες και Πολιτισμός, Μεσο ΜΑΖΙΚΗΣ ΕΝΗΜΕΡΩΣΗΣ, Ριζοσπάστες, Διεθνή Ισλαμικά Δίκτυα, και Θέματα της Ημέρας—για να σας βοηθήσουν να κατανοήσετε τους διαφορετικούς τρόπους με τους οποίους το Ισλάμ και οι Μουσουλμάνοι επηρεάζουν τον κόσμο σήμερα. Δύο σύνθετες λίστες δείχνουν πώς λειτουργεί η επιρροή με διαφορετικούς τρόπους: Το InternationalIslamic Networks δείχνει ανθρώπους που βρίσκονται επικεφαλής σημαντικών διεθνικών δικτύων μουσουλμάνων, και τα Θέματα της Ημέρας επισημαίνουν άτομα των οποίων η σημασία οφείλεται σε τρέχοντα ζητήματα που επηρεάζουν την ανθρωπότητα.

Beyond Post-Islamism

Ιχσάν Γιλμάζ

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. Εξάλλου, some dynamics that affected the change in theTurkish Islamists’ Islamic normative framework have not been analyzed in detail. όπως η Χαμάς, 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. Επομένως, in this study, a detailed evaluationof the Turkish Islamist experience starting from the Young Ottomans is undertaken. Επειτα, 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,Δημοκρατία, rule of law, nationalism, state, ισλαμισμός, 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

Φέργκιουσον 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, ωστόσο, 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. Ακόμη, 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.

Προοδευτική ισλαμικής σκέψης, της κοινωνίας των πολιτών και το κίνημα Gulen σε εθνικό επίπεδο

Φετουλάχ Γκιουλέν (born 1941), or Hodjaeffendi as he is known affectionately by hundreds of thousands of people in his native Turkey and abroad, is one of the most significant Islamic thinkers and activists to have emerged in the twentieth century. His optimistic and forward-looking thought, with its emphasis on self development of both heart and mind through education, of engaging proactively and positively with the modern world and of reaching out in dialogue and a spirit of cooperation between religious communities, social strata and nations can be read as a contemporary reformulation of the teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi, Yunus Emre, and other classic Sufi teachers (Michel, 2005ένα, 2005b; Saritoprak, 2003; 2005ένα; 2005b; Unal and Williams, 2005). More specifically, Gulen can be seen to be carrying on where Said Nursi (1876-1960), another great Anatolian Islamic intellectual, left off: chartinga way for Muslim activists in Turkey and beyond to effectively contribute to the development of modern society that avoids the pitfalls and compromises of party-political activism and replaces the narrowness of Islamist thought with a genuinely inclusive and humanitarian understanding of religion’s role in the modern world (Abu-Rabi, 1995; Markham and Ozdemir, 2005; Vahide, 2005, Yavuz, 2005ένα).
