From Duty to Choice

When Islamic banks were first set up in Malaysia in the early 1980s, their advertising material emphasized the religious obligations of Muslims to save and invest with shari'a-compliant financial products and services. Amid the ongoing l…

State, society and religion in the Asia–Pacific region (part A)
The nature of relations between state, society and religion has long been contested, but never more so than in the current period of the apparent ‘resurgence’ of religion and the corresponding ‘ret
Sustaining interfaith dialogue - A case study from Australia
Present-day Australia is often described as a successful example of a modern multicultural state.1\nA growing number of non-British and non-European migrants have helped transform the country\ninto an increasingly plural society. Intolerance and even outright racism persist in a few sectors,\nbut on the whole, Australia’s political, cultural and intellectual elites have accepted the need for\nmigration, even if they have not always rushed to embr…
God helps those who help themselves
Mahathir Mohamad's engagement with Islam remains one of the most understudied aspects of his six decades in the public limelight. Few students of late-twentieth-century Malaysian society have concerned themselves seriously with his pronouncements on what Islam was and, perhaps even more importantly, what Islam could do. This article argues that, while Mahathir's religious discourse had the transparently political objective of containing increasin…
Being-Muslim in Australia, ca. 2013
What does being Australian mean in the year 2013? A stroll down the main thoroughfares in the\ncentral business districts of Melbourne or Sydney would reveal cityscapes as ethnically and\nculturally diverse as those of Singapore, Dubai, London or Toronto. Even the appearance of\nsmaller capitals such as Adelaide and Perth, or regional towns like Shepparton, Toowoomba or\nWollongong has changed much since the 1970s. A gay couple walking their chil…

The Pillars of “Mahathir's Islam”
Unlike his bourgeois economic nationalism or diplomatic posturing on behalf of the developing world, Mahathir Mohamad's encounter with Islam remains a largely understudied aspect of his 22-year rule of Malaysia (1981–2003). There is a marked reluctance to take seriously his pronouncements on Islam and engage with his representations of what being-Muslim should entail in the modern world. This essay takes the view that Islam, in fact, represents a…
