Muslim children as a threat
This study explores the impact of Islamophobia on Muslim children in Australia, shedding light on their lived experiences and the long-term consequences of anti-Muslim hostility. Drawing on 28 semi-structured interviews and four focus group discussions (FGD) conducted with Muslim parents, predominantly mothers, across New South Wales and Victoria, the study highlights the ways in which children are perceived as threats, often facing harassment in…
Political Instabilities in Afghanistan
Pakistan and Afghanistan share the longest border in the northwest with each other. Afghanistan is the most influential factor for Pakistani policymakers in terms of foreign policy. Relations of both the countries have not been cordial since the inception of Pakistan. Internal circumstances affected Pakistan in one way or another during the Cold War era and the invasion of the USSR. Between different powers, this country became a focus regarding …
Pakistan, Muslim Womanhood and Social Jihad
Analysts have traditionally ignored women's narratives on jihad and have focused on the views of male jihadists. Research on Jamat'ud'Dawah and Lashker-e-Toiba fits this pattern, despite the growing involvement of women in the activities of those organizations. This article analyses the narratives and stories, and their implications for the jihadi project with reference to the publications of one female leader in the group, Umm Abd Muneeb. Drawin…
Narratives of Muslim Womanhood and Women’s Agency
Muslim in Australia
The new millennium has drawn renewed attention to Muslim presence in Australia despite the fact that the links between Muslims and the continent predate the European settlement. A complex set of informational, institutional, and political factors have shaped multiple identities of Muslims in the country with the set of views and identities ranging from orthodox to more modernist interpretations of what it means to be a Muslim in a majority non-Mu…
Australia and the burqa and niqab debate
This paper locates the discussion on wearing niqab and burqa within the context of information acquisition and response formation among Muslims and non-Muslims in the contemporary world. The paper argues that, against the backdrop of varied opinions on Islam and Muslims around the world, the debate on wearing burqa represents the continuation – albeit up-scaling – of the focus on Muslim women as the signifiers of Islam and Muslim identities. Aust…
Pakistan, militancy and identity
This article focuses on the dominant and parallel struggles that have been carried out in Pakistan in terms of its Islamic identity since 9/11. It argues that the Pakistan government has legitimised and explained its partnership with the US government in countering terrorism through a discourse that makes use of Islamic symbols. The Islamists have engaged in a similar process, arguing for jihad against the enemies of Islam. Simultaneously, a tens…
Islamisation and activism of a Muslim NGO in Pakistan
This paper locates the study of Jamat‐ud‐Da'wa (JUD) within the context of global political developments. Premised on the nexus between the local and the global developments, it discusses how changes in the domestic or international arena shaped the policies of JUD after 9/11. It argues that, as a successor to the Lashker‐e‐Toiba in Pakistan, the JUD has been active in the social welfare space. It has moved into roles that reside in the domain of…
Introduction Special Edition
Muslim Women as Citizens in Australia
The paper explores the nature of Muslim women's activism before and after the terrorist attacks on the United States in September 2001. Drawing on the information gathered since the early 1990s, it argues that the focus on Muslim militancy has prompted Muslim women living in Western Australia to become more active citizens. The emerging activism is following two diverse directions: some Muslim women favour orthodox interpretations of Islam as gui…
Pakistan's Kashmir policy
This paper focuses on Pakistan's Kashmir policy in the 1990s. It argues that this policy has been embedded in the context of negative imagery in India and Pakistan of the ‘other’. But it has not been devoid of pluralism; different views exist in Pakistan on the appropriate approaches to resolving the dispute. While the Orthodox and the Islamists favour a combative approach, the moderates favour accommodation and negotiation with India on Kashmir.…
