You can never feel safe: Danish revocation practice and the production of radical uncertainty
This article explores refugees’ experiences with the Danish revocation process, arguing that this places them in situations of protracted radical uncertainty and analysing the concrete legal and administrative practices that contribute to producing this uncertainty.

Freedom of Religion or Belief and Freedom of Expression
This article discusses the relationship between the right to freedom of expression (FoE) and the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). These two human rights are often understood to be in a tense relationship, and some see restrictions on FoE as a necessary precondition for full protection of FoRB. This article argues that the two rights are, however, best understood as inextricably interrelated and intertwined, and that restrictions on …

Human rights remain a contested issue in theory and practice. Several scholars have criticized their theoretical underpinnings, and practitioners struggle to enforce these rights. The right to freedom of religion or belief is an integral part of the international human rights framework and, as such, has been criticized alongside human rights in general. Not only that, the right to freedom of religion or belief has been decried or ignored by some …

Islamic Charities and Islamic Humanism in Troubled Times By Jonathan Benthall
Since the 1980s, a number of transnational Muslim NGOs have (rightly or wrongly) been accused of financing or otherwise supporting so-called ‘terrorist’ networks (Alterman and von Hippel, Understanding Islamic Charities, 2007). Suspicions of involvement in militant activism would surge from time to time, in particular in relation to the work of transnational Muslim NGOs in Afghanistan and Bosnia. Here, several NGOs were suspected of funding milit…

The article tries to answer these questions by applying a nov…
Trajectories of transnational Muslim NGOs
Transnational Muslim NGOs are increasingly important actors in the field of aid provision. Much of the literature has presented a rather static and homogeneous picture of this group of organisations, overlooking their heterogeneity and changing nature. Tracing the historical trajectories of transnational Muslim NGOs, this article shows how changing political, economic, and social contexts have shaped the identities, activities, and relations of t…

Instrumental, Narrow, Normative? Reviewing recent work on religion and development
There is a growing body of research on religion and development, primarily from development scholars and practitioners. In many ways this represents a new departure for development studies, which has been largely uninterested in religion in the past. This growing interest can be explained through a number of inter-linking factors, including the persistence of religion in much of the world, and the sense that existing approaches to development hav…
