Feminizem MED laičnosti in islamizma: PRIMER Palestine

dr, Islah Jad

Zakonodajne volitve na Zahodnem bregu in v Gazi v 2006 na oblast pripeljal islamistično gibanje Hamas, ki je nato oblikovala večino palestinskega zakonodajnega sveta in tudi prvo večinsko vlado Hamasa. Rezultat teh volitev je bilo imenovanje prve ministrice Hamasa, ki je postala ministrica za ženske zadeve. Med marcem 2006 in junija 2007, to mesto sta prevzeli dve različni ministrici Hamasa, vendar sta oba težko vodila ministrstvo, saj večina njegovih zaposlenih ni bila članov Hamasa, ampak je pripadala drugim političnim strankam, večina pa je bila članov Fataha, prevladujoče gibanje, ki nadzoruje večino institucij palestinske oblasti. Napeto obdobje boja med ženskami Hamasa na ministrstvu za ženske zadeve in članicami Fataha se je končalo po Hamasovem prevzemu oblasti na območju Gaze in posledičnem padcu njegove vlade na Zahodnem bregu – boj ki je včasih dobilo silovit preobrat. Eden od razlogov, ki so ga kasneje navedli za razlago tega boja, je bila razlika med sekularnim feminističnim diskurzom in islamističnim diskurzom o ženskih vprašanjih.. V palestinskem kontekstu je to nesoglasje postalo nevarno, saj je bilo uporabljeno za opravičevanje nadaljevanja krvavega političnega boja., odstranitev Hamasovih žensk z njihovih položajev ali delovnih mest, ter politične in geografske ločnice, ki so takrat prevladovale tako na Zahodnem bregu kot na okupiranem območju Gaze.
Ta boj odpira številna pomembna vprašanja: bi morali kaznovati islamistično gibanje, ki je prišlo na oblast, ali bi morali razmisliti o razlogih, ki so pripeljali do Fatehovega neuspeha na političnem prizorišču? Ali lahko feminizem ponudi celovit okvir za ženske?, ne glede na njihovo socialno in ideološko pripadnost? Ali lahko diskurz skupne skupne osnove za ženske pomaga pri uresničevanju in dogovoru o skupnih ciljih?? Je paternalizem prisoten samo v islamistični ideologiji, in ne v nacionalizmu in domoljubju? Kaj mislimo s feminizmom? Ali obstaja samo en feminizem, ali več feminizmov? Kaj mislimo z islamom – ali je to gibanje, znano pod tem imenom, ali religija, filozofija, ali pravni sistem? Tem težavam moramo iti do dna in jih natančno preučiti, in o njih se moramo dogovoriti, da se lahko kasneje odločimo, kot feministke, če naj bo naša kritika paternalizma usmerjena proti veri (vera), ki bi morala biti omejena na srce vernika in ne bi smela prevzeti nadzora nad svetom na splošno, ali sodna praksa, ki se nanaša na različne verske šole, ki pojasnjujejo pravni sistem, ki ga vsebujejo Koran in izreki preroka – suna.

Palestine Question and Islamic Movement

Azzam Tamimi

The top leadership of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood (brat) in the Gaza Strip heldan emergency meeting on the evening of Wednesday 9 december 1987 to deliberate what todo a day after the Palestinian uprising (intifade) erupted. The eruption was ignited by the coldbloodedmurder of several Palestinian laborers at the hands of an Israeli army trailer driver. Theseven men, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, dr. Abd Al-Aziz Al-Rantisi, Ena Shihadah, Abd Al-FattahDukhan, Muhammad Shamah, Ibrahim Al-Yazuri and Isa Al-Nashar, took the historic decision totransform the Ikhwan organization in Palestine into a resistance movement that was called Harakatal-Muqawamah Al-Islamiyah (The Islamic Resistance Movement) known from then on by theacronym HAMAS.Although the decision was triggered by the unplanned simultaneous popular uprising, SheikhYassin and his comrades had been preparing for that eventuality for many years. They had for toolong been detached from the earlier history of the movement when it was best known for puttingup the most credible resistance to the Zionists who founded the Jewish state on land taken from thePalestinians by force in 1948.Intended to be a comprehensive reform movement, the Ikhwan was originally Egyptian buthas since its inception grown into a global network. The mother organization was founded byHassan Al-Banna (1906-1949) in the Egyptian town of Al-Ismailiyah in 1928 where he taught at aprimary school not far from the headquarters of the British occupation troops’ garrison. Combiningelements of spirituality acquired from his association with the Hasafiyah Sufi order with thepristine monotheistic teachings of Islam learned inside the Salafi school of Muhammad RashidRida (1865-1935) – a disciple and close associate of Muhammad Abduh (1849-1905), Al-Banna’sproject had a great popular appeal. Soon after its birth, the Ikhwan movement grew rapidly withinEgypt and beyond it. Inside Egypt, it had four branches in 1929, 15 v 1932, 300 by 1938 and morethan 2000 v 1948. By 1945, it had half a million active members in Egypt alone. Between 1946 and1948, Ikhwan branches were opened in Palestine, Sudan, Iraq and Syria.

9. The Mission has enjoyed the support and cooperation of the Palestinian Authority and of the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the United Nations. Due to the lack of cooperation from the Israeli Government, the Mission was unable to meet members of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. The Mission did, vendar, meet officials of the Palestinian Authority, including a cabinet minister, in Amman. During its visits to the Gaza Strip, the Mission held meetings with senior members of the Gaza authorities and they extended their full cooperation and support to the Mission.

10. Subsequent to the public hearings in Geneva, the Mission was informed that a Palestinian participant, Mr. Muhammad Srour, had been detained by Israeli security forces when returning to the West Bank and became concerned that his detention may have been a consequence of his appearance before the Mission. The Mission is in contact with him and continues to monitor developments.
