Muslim charity in the United Kingdom
Writing ahead of the next ‘Independent Review’ of the United Kingdom’s counter-terror strategy, this article presents two inter-related arguments. First, that the current counter-terror legislation is counter-productive, according to its own logic, in achieving social integration. Second, that Islamic practices and conceptualisations associated with charitable giving hold potentials to offer a more inclusive understanding of social integration th…
Islamic Charity
Since 9/11 and the global War on Terror, practitioners of Islam in Europe and beyond have been scrutinised and surveyed under suspicion of disloyalty and as potential disrupters of national social cohesion. Seemingly benign, altruistic practices, such as charity, are viewed as potential threats to national security and have increasingly become subject to counter-terrorism policies. This work seeks to critically assess the assumptions behind the l…
Gastrocnemius Muscle Architecture in Elite Basketballers and Cyclists
Eccentric and concentric actions produce distinct mechanical stimuli and result in different adaptations in skeletal muscle architecture. Cycling predominantly involves concentric activity of the gastrocnemius muscles, while playing basketball requires both concentric and eccentric actions to support running, jumping, and landing. The aim of this study was to examine differences in the architecture of gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and gastrocnemius…

The Rise of the “Resistance Axis”
Hezbollah’s direct military presence in Syria and Iraq confirms that their actions transcend Lebanon as a political stage. But why can Hezbollah still not be contained within the boundaries of Lebanon? Exploring how the Taif Agreements both tamed Hezbollah’s rhetoric while simultaneously laying the conditions for transnational activities, this article argues that the conditions of the Taif Agreement have assisted in the rise of Hezbollah’s self-c…

The Religious as Political and the Political as Religious
The model of secularism as the overarching framework for managing the relationship between religion and politics has come under increasing scrutiny in recent International Relations (IR) scholarship, particularly in the wake of the so-called “postsecular turn”. Where once religion was thought to be an entity that was easily identifiable, definable and largely irrelevant to politics and public life, these assumptions are being increasingly brought…
Sharia and the Making of the Modern Egyptian
God's Land
From the Peace of Westphalia, territorial sovereignty has been a vital criterion for the definition of the Western nation-state. The dominance of national understandings of territory has led to many theorists assuming that this is the only form of political geography. An examination of the conception of waqf lands (Islamic endowments) reveals a far more nuanced understanding. Using the case study of the Palestinian movement Hamas, this article pr…

Political Piety
This article seeks to address the relationship between practices of piety within Islamist groups and to present an explicit critique of dominant political assemblages. Increased emphasis on pious activity by Islamist movements frequently has been interpreted as ‘the retreat of political Islamism’ (O. Roy (1994) The Failure of Political Islam, Volk, C. (trans.) (London: I.B Tauris), p. 78). The separation of pious activity from political action/in…
