His objective was to provide an accurate understanding of the Qur’an, so that Christian refutations of Islam and Muslim belief could be more effective. The resulting text would become the most popular version of the Qur’an in Europe for the next six hundred years. However, the verb aslama, from which the words ‘Islam’ and ‘Muslim’ derive, was so thoroughly paraphrased in this translation that historian Norman Daniel would be moved to condemn it in 1960 for attempting ‘to obscure passages which define the religion of Islam and thin the more specifically Islamic content of the Qur’ān’. Since then, despite a renewed appreciation for his methods in general, recent scholarship on Robert of Ketton’s translation has failed to address this damning accusation in particular. This article therefore re-assesses the handling of the verb aslama in the first Latin translation of the Qur’an, by asking to what extent an authentic understanding of Islam and Muslim belief was provided by Robert of Ketton’s paraphrase.","PeriodicalId":45172,"journal":{"name":"Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations","volume":"8 1","pages":"407 - 425"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73254262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jibāra was born in Damascus and lived in Beirut, Cairo, Moscow, New York and Boston. He believed that harmonization between Christianity, Judaism and Islam would provide a remedy for religious conflicts and was a precondition for peace. Living in the second half of the nineteenth century, Jibāra developed a unique political theology that was shaped against a background of religious conflicts in Greater Syria, the Ottoman state policy of Pan-Islamism, and the global religious reaction to secularism. Influenced by ancient anti-Trinitarian Christian traditions and by contemporary puritan Unitarian theology, he developed a doctrine that he called ‘the straight path’, which challenged traditional Islam, traditional Christianity and secularism. His unique views shed light on the transreligious postulations of the reformist Islamic movement and present an exceptional attempt to reform Eastern Orthodox Christianity.","PeriodicalId":45172,"journal":{"name":"Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations","volume":"108 1","pages":"361 - 382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79729515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is not to say that these two cohorts cannot be or should not be compared, but to underline the need to point out divergences as much as similarities, and then justify the comparison as viable and imperative. A second issue relates to the transnational aspect, which is rather poorly framed. Kamali does refer to transnational aspects of White nationalism and militant Islamism (235, 250), but her account of the concept is inadequate. Although the book primarily focuses on American militant White nationalists and Islamists, it inevitably emphasizes cross-border aspects and dimensions of the phenomenon here and there. However, it says little, if anything, about how European White nationalist groups (e.g. the German AfD, Les Identitaires and its youth wing Generation Identity in France, the Italian Lega Nord, and Jobbik in Hungary) interact with and influence American White nationalists and vice versa. Similarly, although the book points to how some Muslim ideologues from various parts of the world, such as al-Mawdudi and Qutb, have shaped the worldviews of American militant Islamists, underlining the transnational aspect, no serious insight is provided into how American militant Islamists interact, if at all, with organized transnational political Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood or militant networks such as the Al-Qaeda. A third issue concerns the book’s suggestion that an ethics of empathy is the way forward for confronting terrorism, tackling systemic/structural racism, and building a shared sense of belonging among citizens. Kamali rather naively claims that her alternative counterterrorism strategy, i.e. holistic justice, would be instrumental not only in preventing White nationalist and militant Islamist terrorism but also in developing greater understanding between people of different backgrounds (265). One could argue, however, that empathy is too abstract and fragile to counter the systemic and institutional problems that are thoroughly discussed throughout the book. Overall, Homegrown Hate is a thought-provoking, informative and timely book, successfully demonstrating that White nationalist terrorism is as significant as militant Islamism. This is a must-read for students, academics, journalists and, in particular, policy-makers and actors in security bureaucracy, who are interested in White nationalism, domestic terrorism and counterterrorism in the USA.","PeriodicalId":45172,"journal":{"name":"Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations","volume":"56 1","pages":"431 - 434"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91312103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However,Mazlumder has not been able to escape the paradox between opposing the state while displaying affinities with theAKP. Béatrice Hendrich closes this part with Chapter 11, on Şeyh Bedreddin, presenting the historical background of his revolt against the Ottoman Empire, and how his story is appropriated by various discourses on social justice in Turkey in modern times, including in leftist and Alevi narratives. Part IV, ‘Different Ways to Non-capitalism’, consists of three chapters. Chapter 12, by Hans Visser, addresses a rather unusual topic in research on Islamic economics, that of calls by small Islamist groups (the Murabitun movement in particular) to return to the use of gold and silver as currencies. After reading the text, one may wonder what the movement would think of the current flourishing development of cryptocurrencies in the world. Chapter 13, by Anthony T. Fiscella, presents the views of Isabelle Eberhardt’s, Muammar Qaddafi’s and Heba Raouf Ezzat’s ideas on Islamic socialism and anarchism. Finally, Michelangelo Guida’s Chapter 15 returns to Turkey, arguing that the conservative Turkish thinker Nurettin Topçu (d. 1979) and Necmettin Erbakan (d. 2011), the Islamist activist and Turkish politician, engineer and academic who was the prime minister of Turkey from 1996 to 1997, developed projects to combine Islamist ideas with capitalist modernization, despite their strong criticisms of Western modernity. The book covers a wide range of material from the Qur’an to recent developments of ‘Islamist capitalism’ in Turkey, and the reader may enjoy reading about all these Muslim ideas about economics. However, the book’s organization makes it difficult to persevere. For example, there is no reason why Turkish anti-capitalist groups should be discussed in different parts of the book, or why the modern Islamist discourses on social justice of Sharīʿatī and Qutḅ should also be dealt with in different sections parts of the book. Historical, geographical or thematic criteria could have been applied to better organize the chapters and content. A strong focus in the book is on Turkey, but the introduction gives no justification for this. Another shortcoming is perhaps the exclusive study of Islamic discourses, disregarding economic practices and experiences that can be found in various Muslim contexts concerning finance and halal, for example. That said, I recommend the book for social scientists, especially scholars and students carrying out research on the Middle East from a sociological, historical, anthropological or political perspective.","PeriodicalId":45172,"journal":{"name":"Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations","volume":"19 1","pages":"356 - 359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83365808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
