{"title":"The Anti-Kurdish Thoughts of ISIS","authors":"Mohammad Mustafa, Abdulrahman Karim Darwesh","doi":"10.1017/rms.2022.31","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/rms.2022.31","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract This article explores the ideological motivations for ISIS's prejudice against the Kurds. From the group's inception, ISIS has rejected any kind of understanding of Islam but its own. However, its animosity toward Kurds has its own purpose and foundations, separate from its religious dogmas. The aim of this article is to study the reasons behind its fundamental aversion toward the Kurds. An analysis of the literature of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and particularly their interpretation of the Qurʾan and of Islamic prophetic traditions and history, demonstrates such a clear prejudice toward the Kurds, that no honest researcher can deny the vehemence of the group's hatred of the Kurds and their nationalist ideology. This animus explains, at least in part, why ISIS promulgated such a virulent anti-Kurdish ideology and recruited fighters to invade Kurdish lands. This study examines the ideological motives behind the group's behavior toward the Kurds. The article's hypothesis is that the Arab extremists that filled the ranks of ISIS, whether they came from secular nationalist, jihadist, or even moderate Islamist backgrounds, shared an antipathy against the Kurdish people that was deeply rooted in pro-Arab nationalistic sentiment. Below, the article looks at the deadly combination of Baʿthist ideology, which had previously led to genocidal campaigns against Kurds under Saddam Hussein, with the religious extremism of ISIS. A qualitative research method of discourse analysis is used to shed light on the ideological roots of ISIS's antagonism against Kurds. Kurdish-studies researchers will benefit from this study, as well as security, counter-terrorism, and Middle Eastern researchers and students.","PeriodicalId":21066,"journal":{"name":"Review of Middle East Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42100327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Birding Beyond Borders: Middle Eastern Birdwatching Deconstructs Border Stereotypes and Builds Identity","authors":"Mary Rudolph","doi":"10.1017/rms.2023.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/rms.2023.4","url":null,"abstract":"Despite significant research studying the effects of the natural realm on human coexistence across many broad regions, there is little published on the relationship between nature and politics in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Birds and birdwatching present an alternative realm to explore how the peripheral nature and naturality specifically of borders allow for information exchange between extraordinarily diverse groups, thus yielding a potential new trajectory of reconciliation for the MENA region and its human populations. Using cultural media analysis of a Vice News YouTube segment, I analyze the cohesive effects of birds in Middle Eastern border areas, particularly Golan Heights. To further demonstrate the potential for connecting and identity-forming ability of birds to specific peoples and places, I discuss avian migration patterns of birds in Golan Heights, explore historical and cultural significance of birds in Tehran, and navigate a personal Jewish narrative titled “ Birding in the Dark ” . Birds and the natural realm have the potential to teach humans, especially in the border-stereotyped MENA region, how to coexist. The legacies of early and mid-twentieth century Middle Eastern state-building featured the seizure of territory during opportunities of state weakness, causing an influx of borders to be drawn and redrawn. A paralleled rise in separatism created an inseparable connection between the Middle East and border instability. The ensuing portrayal of borders by media sources characterizes borderlines in the Middle East as strictly delineated by brutality; however, the seemingly indifferent nature of a birder group in the Vice News Golan Heights video toward the Syrian-Israeli conflict shows that borders, through birders, have the capacity to be more arbitrary and flexible than originally projected. Avianmigration patterns further dismantle the perception of impassable and demarcated borderline areas. The Golan Heights area and the Syria-Israel border make up an important migration corridor for migrating birds.","PeriodicalId":21066,"journal":{"name":"Review of Middle East Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49584927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To be clear, those propositions cannot be ruled out, and there are in fact plenty of grounds to critique Egypt’s reform program (with regards to new forms of privatization, for instance). But the lack of real evidence or understanding of actual policy change on the ground makes these conclusions questionable at best. In their conclusion, the editors make the overdue note that the volume is neither “firmly empirically grounded” nor “a definitive investigation.” Rather, it is speculative, “consist[s] of diverse observations and even predictions” and is “intended not to test hypotheses” but to “broaden perspectives on Arab education” (253-54). This volume thus signals the urgent need for work on education in the Arab world that is empirically rich, theoretically robust, methodologically rigorous, and strongly evidenced – which are unfortunately underdeveloped in this volume, at least for Egypt. Political economy is a valid lens to study educational change, but it would enormously benefit from authors who possess a deeper understanding of local contexts and experience in education in the Arab world.","PeriodicalId":21066,"journal":{"name":"Review of Middle East Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44118927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In some cases, however, the political leaders of post-conflict societies choose not to pursue transitional justice, instead preferring to keep the status-quo peace. This essay explores the situation in the Kurdistan region of Iraq after the genocidal Anfal campaign of the late 1980s. The Kurdish political authorities at the time did not use any transitional justice measure against the Kurds who collaborated in the persecution and killing of their fellow Kurds. Instead, they declared a unilateral amnesty for all collaborators, without the consent of the victims’ families. This paper argues that this grant of “blanket amnesty,” which protected the accused from legal liability at the expense of victims’ right to justice, brought neither justice nor peace. Conversely, it negatively affected the process of democratization, rule of law, and social reconciliation in the region. The paper concludes that justice and lasting peace will not be realized in the region if the abuses of the past are left unaddressed.","PeriodicalId":21066,"journal":{"name":"Review of Middle East Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48234448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
