Turkish Islam and Kurdish difference
In this article I discuss the ways in which the Turkish state uses Islam as a weapon to delegitimize and render unnecessary Kurdish distinctiveness and associated rights claims.

Being Targeted, Being Recognized: The Impact of 9/11 on Arab and Muslim Americans
The wounds inflicted by the September 11 terror attacks remain fresh today, nine years later. Americans have still not fully recov ered from the trauma, nor has the American government been able to conclude the two wars that it launched in response.

The American experience also raises questi…

American Jihad”: Representations of Islam in the United States after 9/11
This paper looks at competing uses of the concept of jihad in American society in the aftermath of 9/11. It examines three alternative meanings given to “American Jihad.” Three of the instances all have “American Jihad” as their title: a book by Steven Emerson, a commencement speech by a Harvard student, and an episode of NBC TV series “Law & Order.” All three cases are acts of politics and moments of regulation of the entry of the concept of jih…
