Abstract This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the findings in current research focusing on the implementation of Islamic law in Europe. It explores the concept of fiqh al-aqalliyyāt (minority jurisprudence) or context-specific jurisprudence and how it is debated and contested in Europe. While shedding light on a normative application of Islamic law, the paper focuses on the role and work of European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) and how it has made an important contribution to addressing issues related to Muslim communities by issuing fatwas based on the methodology of fiqh al-aqalliyyāt. Since a wide range of actors both in Europe and the Islamic world currently voice calls in favour of integration of Muslims in Europe as opposed to assimilation and segregation, the paper attempts to understand the specific grammar of this integration talk and how it translates into fiqh discourse produced by the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR).

Abstract In this study, we identify the factors that Muslim migrants in Auckland, New Zealand's gateway city, prioritize when seeking to identify a suitable mosque, and the significance that frequenting a mosque has in their lives. We explore factors related to ethnicity, culture, language, belonging and the intergenerational transmission of religious knowledge and values from the theoretical perspective of homophily, or the tendency of individuals to socialize with others whom they consider to be similar. The importance of ethnolinguistic and cultural homophily is primarily linked to wellbeing, social support and bonding, the intergenerational transmission of beliefs and culture, and spiritual authenticity. Mosque attendance was viewed as a key factor in social integration, connectivity and wellbeing. The lack of suitable mosques for Shi'a was problematized. We discuss the different mosque-related priorities of the first and second generations, and formulate recommendations for catering to the multifarious needs of congregants in a Muslim-minority context.

Abstract As a controversial schooling system, critical analysis of the informal curriculum of Islamic schools in Australia is timely for dispelling assertions and counter-assertions with evidence. This project employed a collective case study methodology to understand how broader contextual factors—that is, an Australian landscape shaped by neoliberal engendered market forces and racialisation—and stakeholder experience contributed to the construction of the espoused purpose of Islamic school. Drawing on data from a survey of stakeholders from three Islamic schools, analysis of documents and a leadership qualitative questionnaire, the findings reveal, by providing an alternative educational experience: Islamic practices; the space for religious expression; and, extra-curricular programmes to connect students with society, schools create a community and a sense of belonging. By doing so, they contribute to social cohesion. Consistent with Apple and Zine, an understanding of Islamic schools cannot be detached from the cultural climate. This paper contributes to debates of divisiveness charged at Islamic schools.

Abstract India being a dynamic emerging economy, with religious and cultural diversity, is home to 0.172 billion Muslims, that is 14.2 percent of the population at all India level living as the financially excluded minority community in the country. The Indian Muslims according to Sachar Committee Report (2005) are the financially ‘excluded’ community and are not the major beneficiary of Govt. schemes.” The Reports/Commissions such as Ranganathan Misra Committee (2007); Mahmoodur Rahman Committee (2008); Sudhir Commission Report (2016) and Commission of Inquiry (Telangana 2016), reveal that Muslims in India, are living in pathetic conditions with underdeveloped socio-economic and educational setup. In this context, the current paper aims to-explore through qualitative analysis the possible dimensions of social finance and to evaluate the current socio-economic conditions of Muslims in India. This study will be an attempt to assess the potential of Islamic social finance institutions, namely the zakat and the waqf, for community upliftment in a much broader national context.

Abstract The subject of transgenerational legacies of war and forced migration has been increasingly gaining traction in the academic sphere. However, most of these studies yielded clinical implications, neglecting the role of culture in responding to the crisis engendered through the wholesale destruction of communities. The present paper examines how compounding of these phenomena impacted the formation of the social identities among the second-generation Bosniak1 migrants, whose parents survived the genocide in Srebrenica three decades ago and were forced to resettle in Australia. I focus on their family and homemaking practices in the diaspora by drawing upon findings from my ethnographic fieldwork in Melbourne. I found that the shared experience of place-based trauma of genocide serves as a connective tissue that binds the children survivors in “trans-local endogamous” marital unions through which they seek to preserve, perform and reproduce their unique (trans)local, cultural, as well as relational identities.

Abstract Previous research has shown that, after migration, some immigrant Muslim men experience a surge of marital conflicts-from the extent of their involvement in domestic labour, through challenges regarding the headship role of the household, to issues of divorce and child custody. In most cases, such conflicts surface against the background of a deeper conflict between the cultural gender norms in their old and new countries. There is, however, little research on how those immigrant Muslim men manage and respond to such emotional and relationship conflicts. Based on 33 interviews with Afghan Muslim immigrant men and drawing on Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance and Berry's typology of immigrant acculturation, this study shows the diversity of: (a) the issues over which such conflicts emerge; and (b) the responses the subjects develop vis-à-vis those conflicts. The findings provide the contours of a theoretical framework for understanding the changing and diverse nature of Muslim masculinity in future research.

Abstract Post-secondary education (PSE) is an important factor predicting a person's success in life. One group that would benefit from obtaining PSE are young women from ethnic minority groups. The current study focuses on young Bedouin women, one of the most marginalized minority groups in Israel, with the aim of exposing the barriers they face on their way to acquiring PSE. The study focuses on groups with 11 Bedouin young women, ages 20-22. The findings revealed that these young women face many barriers that are expressed at the structural level and at the gender-family level. To increase the participation of young Bedouin women in PSE, it is necessary to intervene and promote their academic achievements and aspirations, beginning during primary school and continuing until their actual integration into PSE. There is also a need to develop programs that will increase family support for women’s education.

centring our lived experiences is essential” (p. 181). While much has been said about Prevent, counterterrorism and their discriminatory outcomes in the past two decades, “The Suspect” masterfully connects the global and local security’s entanglements with its author’s lived experiences, reminding us that security politics affect everyone’s lives, and that some lives are affected disproportionately more than others. Moreover, throughout the book and especially in its final chapters, Sabir reminds us that the personal is political, and that by connecting personal histories with the global context in which these histories emerge, “we can disrupt and challenge the deep-seated ‘common-sense’ assumption that violence, coercion, and control are only used when necessary for ‘public protection’” (p. 181). Fabrizio Leonardo Cuccu is a doctoral candidate at Dublin City University. His research focuses on preventing violent extremism (PVE) programmes in postcolonial settings, and the role of civil servants and community actors in implementing them.
