On “taliban,” in Light of Recent Events
This article represents a critical intervention on the monosemantic use of the terms “taliban” and “talib” in light of the rise of the militant Islamic movement in Afghanistan (and subsequently also Pakistan), which has now established its central government over Afghanistan for the second time. Employing the tools of critical discourse analysis, first the role of investigative journalists and scholars of various academic disciplines in cementing…

He's Just a Man: Pashtun Salafists and the Representation of the Prophet
Against the widespread understanding that Salafism in Pashtun religious circles owes its establishment to the close interaction with Arab representatives of that current since the resistance to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan between 1979 and 1990, a theologically quite radical form had indigenously emerged already in the late 1940s. This current, originating in the small town of Panjpīr in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, stands out …
Introduction: Challenges from "The Periphery"? - Salafī Islam Outside the Arab World. Spotlights on Wider Asia
Over the last decade or so, "Salafism" seems to have tacitly replaced the spectres of "Islamism" and "Islamic fundamentalism" in the lexicon of public media, of politicians on every level, of law enforcement agencies, and, subsequently, of the general public, especially in what these days is labelled the "Global North". While select publications had already appeared in the first years of the 2000s, it was a volume edited by Roel Meijer which, in …
Of Pious Missions and Challenging the Elders: A Genealogy of Radical Egalitarianism in the Pashtun Borderscape
At the core of this article lies the attempt to consider “radical egalitarianism” a defining feature of “borderscapes”, that is the space in which distinct socio-spatial identities between territorial claims and counter-claims at the margins of larger political entities are negotiated. These more general considerations are exemplified by a genealogical excursion into the dominantly Pashtun-inhabited regions around the Hindukush and its foothills.…
A Subtle Difference: On Ending One's Own Life in Muslim Religious Thought
In the focus of this article is the complex problem to validate the deliberate disposal of a Muslim's own life for an Islamically sustained cause – popular modus operandi in the contemporary religiously inspired militant contexts – from a range of religious perspectives. While the general tenor suggest that such an action constitutes deliberate suicide (qatl nafsah) and is to be firmly rejected, the eschatological concept of ‘martyrdom’ (istishhā…
Die Träume der Schulweisheit: Leben und Werk des ʿAlī b. Muḥammad al-Ǧurǧānī (gest. 816/1413), written by Josef van Ess, 2013
Appropriations and Contestations of the Islamic Nomenclature in Muslim North India
This article comprises a twofold attempt: the first is to establish a semantic field that revolves around the concept of siyāsat-roughly equivalent to the political-in Muslim South Asia; the second is to trace semantic shifts in this field and to identify circumstances that may have prompted those shifts. It is argued here that the terms that constitute the semantic field of the political oscillate between two sociolinguistic traditions: a strong…
I Pine for True Closeness: Muḥammad Iqbāl's Uneasy Relationship with Christianity, and the Islamic Social Ideal
In this article we examine the development of Muḥammad Iqbāl’s engagement with Christian thought and theology over the course of his lifetime in the context of his position as a colonial subject and of the rise of communalism and Muslim separatism in India. The early philosophical, spiritual, and poetic influence of European Christian authors on the young Iqbāl inspired him to develop a critique of Christian thought and history that fundamentally…
The Praiseworthiness of Divine Beauty – The ‘Shaykh al-Hind’ Maḥmūd al-Ḥasan, social justice, and Deobandiyyat
In this article, two threads of scholarship on the relationship of what shall be called here the ‘Deoband project’ and politics are negotiated. Both these threads frame this relationship in absolute terms: one considers Deoband as a politically neutral yet rather homogeneous ‘movement’ for the reform of religious beliefs and practices, while the other cast it in a similar monolithic fashion as an anti-colonial champion of social justice. Against …
Between a Rock and a Hard Place: The Ṭālibān, Afghan Self-Determination, and the Challenges of Transnational Jihadism
At the core of this article stands an investigation into a legal response by a Pakistani official of the Ṭālibān to the claim of the caliphate by IS leader Abū Bakr al-Baghdādī. This treatise, initially published simultaneously in Arabic and Pashto, is understood here as an important position paper of the Ṭālibān as a whole, reacting to the changing landscape of global Islamic militancy. As such, it was triggered by a number of only loosely conne…
