Religious Authorization of the Justice and Spirituality Movement in Morocco
Jamaat al-Adl wal-Ihsan, or the Justice and Spirituality Movement (JSM), is the largest oppositional movement in Morocco, which combines Islam and politics to mobilize against the monarchy for greater democratization in the country. JSM is neither a political Islamist movement nor a Sufi order but it combines spirituality and justice, piety and politics. This article examines how JSM combines spirituality and politics in practice by analyzing the…
Minority Political Representation
Scholars have long been intrigued by the role of minority elected officials in representing the interests of their communities. There is an on-going debate on whether distinctive minority agendas exist and whether the existence of minority representatives (descriptive representation) is a necessary condition to secure the representation of minority interests (substantive representation). This article analyzes original interview data to examine th…

This article compares the four largest Turkish Islamic organisations – Diyanet, Milli Görüş, the Süleymanlı and the Gülen communities – in Germany in order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the role of Islamic organisations in Muslim immigrant integration.

Islam, Conflict, and Integration

On the one hand, the Turkish state supports Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliği, which promotes Islam in private life as a source of individual piety and loyalty to the Turkish state. On the other hand, Milli Görüş, w…
Localizing Islam in Europe
This article compares organized religious life of Turkish Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands to examine the trajectory of Islamic diversity in Europe. Transnational Islamic organizations do not simply transplant religious extremism from their countries of origin, nor do they necessarily conform to all of the European liberal values. Rather they play an intermediary role, negotiating between the social and religious needs of Muslims, on the one …
