The Muslim ethno-religiouscape of Thailand can be accommodated peacefully
This article examines the situation of Muslims in Thailand, a majority Buddhist nation. Most studies about Muslims in Thailand focus on the ongoing 117 year insurgency, or anti-colonial struggle, against the Thai state in the nation’s south and overlook the presence of the majority of the Thai Muslim community residing in the rest the country. The study of Islam as a religious and identity marker is best understood through the ‘sociolinguistics o…
Bridging Tradition and Modernity in Thai Islam
Dr Surin Pitsuwan (Abdul Halim bin Ismail Pitsuwan) (28 October 1949 – 30 November 2017) was a prominent Thai Muslim politician of national and international stature with a colorful career as a journalist, an academic, a member of the Parliament and served first as Deputy Foreign Minister and next as the Foreign Minister of Thailand from 1992 to 2001, culminating in his career as the Secretary General of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations…
Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (Pas) in Malaysia Politics
The study seeks to examine the brief history of political Islam in Malaysia with a focus on Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party/Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS). The emergence of PAS in the early 1950s marks the beginning of the involvement of Islamic Movements in politics as a platform for the revivalism of Islam in the region. In addition, the role of PAS leaderships also briefly discussed with a great emphasis on the leadership of PAS political maestro, …
Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba
I first heard about Ahmadou Bamba (ca. 1850-1927) thirty-two years ago through the 9-part BBC television series titled The Africans: A Triple Heritage presented by the doyen of Africa and Islam studies, the late Professor Ali Mazrui. The series, which was produced in 1986 was also published in the form of a book. And the name of Ahmadu Bamba has remained in my mind until today. I always wanted to learn more about him. Thanks to Michelle Kimball f…
The Nabi-Rasul in Arabian/Semitic Religious Tradition
As the carriers of the message and practice of monotheism defined differently in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the nabi and rasul translated as prophets occupy a central position in the Arabian/Semitic history of religion and its geographic space. This paper is based on the theory of history of religions. It views Arabia—the expanded geographic land space between Mesopotamia, Palestine, and Arabian Peninsula, which is the home ground of the r…
Islam and the State in Myanmar
Ongoing Muslim–Buddhist tensions in Southeast Asia may turn aggressive in the near future and lead to the rise of an Asian Islamophobia in the form of Buddhist religious nationalism. This phenomenon, already a reality in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, is spreading elsewhere. The intimidation in those states of Muslim minority communities could make the Buddhist minority communities in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei vulnerable to retaliatory Muslim ethno-…
Three Faces of the Rohingya Crisis
Myanmar is a non-secular Buddhist majority country born out of the ashes of the murder of their leader of independence struggle, General Aung San, was assassinated on July 19, 1947, a few months before the independence of Burma on January 4, 1948. His failed legacy in integrating Myanmar into a multicultural nation which contains of Burmans as ethnic majority and non-Burman minorities continues to obsess Myanmar’s people. The Rohingya crisis is n…
Nationalist Ethnicities as Religious Identities
For centuries, the Rohingya have been living within the borders of the countryestablished in 1948 as Burma/Myanmar. Today left stateless, having beengradually stripped of their citizenship rights, they are described by theUnited Nations as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. Inorder to understand the complexity of this conflict, one must consider howBurma is politically transitioning from military to democratic rule, a processthat…
Ismail al-Faruqi’s Contribution to the Academic Study of Religion
Today, there is a general absence of Muslim academics in the area of academic study of religion. This paper surveys the contributions of Professor Ismail al-Faruqi as a rare Muslim academic who pioneered modern age Muslim engagement in this field. His contributions to phenomenology and history of religion remain largely unrecognised. The globalising age requires the Muslim academics engage in the academic study of religion in both confessional an…
The Role of the Chularajmontri (Shaykh al-IslOEm) in Resolving Ethno-religious Conflict in Southern Thailand
The century-old conflict in southern Thailand, which began with Siam’s annexation of the former Malay sultanate of Negara Patani in 1909, reemerged viciously in 2004 – with no end in sight. The Thai state expected that its official head of the Muslim community at the national level, the chularajmontri (shaykh al-Islam), whose office was set up in 1945 to integrate all Thai Muslims into the new nation-state of Thailand (formerly called Siam), woul…
Islam and Buddhism Relations from Balkh to Bangkok and Tokyo
Dialogue Between Islam and Buddhism through the Concepts Ummatan Wasatan (The Middle Nation) and Majjhima-Patipada (The Middle Way)
Monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—have coexisted with Buddhism in many parts of Asia for centuries. This led in the past to dialogue as well as misunderstanding between the two at the doctrinal and social levels. This paper seeks to initiate dialogue between Islam and Buddhism through the Islamic concept of ummatan wasatan (Middle Nation) and the Buddhist concept of majjhima-patipada (Middle Way) as a means to build understan…
The Thai Muslims and Participation in the Democratic Process
Thailand is a country where Buddhist political culture forms and shapes all activities in the country. This is reflected in the functioning of the Thai polity where the administrative structure functions in a secular pattern while the ideological dimension of the state is rooted in a religious/Buddhist political culture. Non-Buddhist minorities in Thailand such as Muslims and others are allowed free space to practice, express and make religious d…
The Southern Thailand Conflict and the Muslim World1
Several commentators and analysts have talked about the ongoing unrest in southern Thailand from the perspective of the engagement of international terrorism, security issues, center-periphery relations, organized crime and the drug industry; but none of them has written about the role of religion and ethnicity in the crisis and its reception in the Muslim world. This paper contends that the conflict in southern Thailand is largely a local confli…
