Occult Beliefs and the Far Right: The Case of the Order of Nine Angles
This article investigates the esoteric beliefs of the Order of Nine Angles (ONA) as one way of making sense of its politics. By analyzing the ONA’s primary texts and archival data from the Information Network Focus on Religious Movements (Inform) we propose that, based on some recurring themes in the way the ONA is presented, it can be analyzed usefully as a new religious movement (NRM) with millenarian tendencies. At the same time, the aura of e…
Ziauddin Sardar’s Biographical Writings as Models of Muslim Intellectual Work
What counts as “proper” intellectual work in the study of Islam?

Constructing an alternative pedagogy of Islam: The experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Muslims
There is growing media interest in how lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) Muslims negotiate their seemingly incompatible religious and sexual identities. Thus, there is a need to investigate how some LGBT Muslims utilise Islam as a resource for alternative pedagogical strategies to reconcile their personal beliefs and values. Their strategies are especially significant given the prevalence of dominant Islamic teachings that forbid or co…
