Muslim Rebels : Kharijites and the Politics of Extremism in Egypt
ISBN: 9780195131697 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Kharijites were the first sectarian movement in Islamic history, a rebellious splinter group that separated itself from mainstream Muslim society and set about creating, through violence, an ideal community of the saved. Their influence in the political and theological life of the nascent faith has ensured their place in both critical and religious accounts of early Islamic history. Based on the image of sect fostered by the Islamic tradition, the name Kharijite defines a Muslim as an overly-pious zealot whose ideas and actions lie beyond the pale of normative Islam.
After a brief look... The Kharijites were the first sectarian movement in Islamic history, a rebellious splinter group that separated itself from mainstream Muslim society ...

Before Homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic World, 1500-1800
ISBN: 9780226729886 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Attitudes toward homosexuality in the pre-modern Arab-Islamic world are commonly depicted as schizophrenic visible and tolerated on one hand, prohibited by Islam on the other. Khaled El-Rouayheb argues that this apparent paradox is based on the anachronistic assumption that homosexuality is a timeless, self-evident fact to which a particular culture reacts with some degree of tolerance or intolerance. Drawing on poetry, biographical literature, medicine, dream interpretation, and Islamic texts, he shows that the culture of the period lacked the concept of homosexuality."

The Idea of Idolatry and the Emergence of Islam : From Polemic to History
ISBN: 9780521028462 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why and under what circumstances did the religion of Islam emerge in a remote part of Arabia at the beginning of the seventh century? Traditional scholarship maintains that Islam developed in opposition to the idolatrous and polytheistic religion of the Arabs of Mecca and the surrounding regions. In this study of pre-Islamic Arabian religion, G. R. Hawting adopts a comparative religious perspective to suggest an alternative view. By examining the various bodies of evidence which survive from this period, the Koran and the vast resources of the Islamic tradition, the author argues that in fact...
