Jihād and the Protection of Places of Worship in Early Islam
This article examines the relationship between jihād and the protection of non-Muslim places of worship in early Islam. Drawing primarily on Qurʾānic verses 22:39–41 and the Covenants of the Prophet, it employs a synchronically comparative framework that analyzes a broad corpus of textual sources, seeking to reconstruct how the early Muslim worldview understood the justification for jihād. It also examines the norms governing conduct after confli…
‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb’s Treaties with the People of the Book
Muslim and non-Muslim historical sources provide us with contradictory stipulations in the treaties attributed to the second Caliph of Islam ‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. This article argues that the initial treaties were non-intrusive, with few, if any restrictions on the non-Muslim populations. Notwithstanding that, some security concerns may have been implemented by ‘Umar’s generals during the early conquests on a temporary basis. When the major urban …
Covenants in the Qurʾān
Covenant (‘ahd and mīthāq) occupies a central place in the Qurʾān but has been understudied and underrepresented in discourses about Islam. This article contributes to redressing this lacuna by conducting a content analysis of the Qurʾān, specifically the terms ‘ahd and mīthāq that refer to the concept of covenant. It applies the Maqāṣid Methodology and Framework developed by Jasser Auda to examine the concepts, objectives, values, commands, univ…
Mobilising a Decolonial-Islamic Praxis
Islam was an important factor in the decolonisation of Muslim countries from European colonial rule during the 19th and 20th centuries. However, Muslims are among the migrant-settler populations of Australia, Canada, the United States, and other British colonial states that continue to dispossess and disenfranchise Indigenous populations. This article contributes to the debate on "decolonising Islam". It contends that covenants with God and betwe…

Co-constructing ‘the’ Ummah
This article explores populist-oriented far right and islamist discourse through a relational lens to examine how the category of ‘the’ people, specifically the ummah, is co-constituted. In focusing on the islamist category of ‘the’ ummah, the article examines how far right and islamist discourses work together to co-construct an antagonistic frontier. Rather than categorising distinct party families, a relational lens is employed to render visib…
Views on political Islam among Australian converts to Islam
Over the past few decades, interest in and conversion to Islam among non-Muslims in the West has been on the rise. There is a view in the scholarly literature that Western converts to Islam are overrepresented in regard to politicized interpretations of the religion, commonly referred to as political Islam or Islamism, and even militancy or jihadism. This article presents the findings of a national survey of Muslim Australians. It focuses on view…
Fields of Educational Interest and an Islamist Orientation in Australia
This article contributes to our understanding of Islamist extremism by examining the relationship between early educational interests and ideas associated with Islamist-jihadist ideology. The article uses data collected through the Islam in Australia survey and specifically compares STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) with HSS (humanities and social science) fields of educational interest in relation to respondents’ identifica…
Higher Objectives (maqāṣid) of Covenants in Islam
The concept of covenant occupies a central place in the Qurʾān but has been understudied and underrepresented in discourses about Islam. This article contributes to redressing this lacuna by applying the method of content analysis to the Qurʾān, specifically the terms 'ahd and mīthāq that refer to the concept of covenant. The aim of this article is to identify the maqāṣid (higher objectives) of covenants in Islam and discuss their implications fo…
Peaceful interreligious relations in Islam derive from covenants and treaties
What Muslims and non-Muslims think about Islam matters for peaceful interreligious relations. Islam is predicted to be the world’s most followed religion by the latter half of this century, surpassing Christianity for the first time. So far this century, the world’s fastest growing religion has been viewed by many non-Muslims with antipathy and fear, often in reference to historic conflicts between Muslim and Christian empires and in response to …
Education and Islamist Jihadism
This article presents findings from a national survey of 1034 Muslim Australians, examining the relationship between educational qualifications and Islamist-jihadist interpretations of Islam. A minority of respondents identified with indicators of Islamism, while a smaller sub-group identified with those associated with jihadism. Respondents educated in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields were more likely than their HSS…
Interfaith Actor Reception of Islamic Covenants
The historicity of early Islamic diplomatic documents, referred to as the covenants of Prophet Muhammad, has received considerable scholarly attention over the past decade. This article is the first to present a critical examination of the reception of the Prophet's covenants among interfaith actors. An educative intervention instrument was used to examine how research on the historicity of the Prophet's covenants influences participants' thinkin…

Islamic Studies in Australia’s Higher Education Sector
This report presents an overview of the discipline of Islamic studies in the Australia’s higher education sector collected in 2017. After a brief exploration of the history of teaching Islam and Islamic studies in modern Western institutions, the report briefly discusses the types of theoretical and methodological issues that concern the contemporary discipline of Islamic studies in the Western context. This leads to the main subject matter of th…
Muslim typologies in Australia
Gender, Identity and Conversion
Over the past several decades, the phenomenon of conversion to Islam in Western societies has received a significant amount of attention, both in academia and in the mass media. Much of this attention has focused on the motives and experiences of female converts, a likely result of suggestions that higher numbers of Western women than men are converting to Islam, as well as pervasive views of Islam as a religion that mistreats women. Yet despite …
Australian Converts to Islam
While conversion to Islam in non-Muslim societies has a long and diverse history, the socio-political contexts of the post-9/11 period have led to Western converts being viewed with sharpened curiosity, suspicion and even hostility. Yet despite the rise of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment during this period, it has been suggested that significant numbers of Westerners have converted to Islam. While there has been considerable growth in acad…
"Introduction to the Special Issue "Islamic and Muslim Studies in Australia
The field we call Islamic studies has a long history that could be said to date from the 8th and 9th centuries in the Middle East when Muslim scholars, including Quran exegetes, hadith compilers, jurists and historians, began to systematically write about the teachings of Islam

Australia’s Muslims strongly reject an association between Islam and violent extremism
The association of Islam with violent extremism ranks highly among the defining issues and events of the 21st century so far. A 2019 study by the Pew Research Center found the threat of Islamist extremism topped the list of global concerns in a number of countries and ranked second in Australia after climate change. \n \nThinking about Islam in this way has been a major factor in perpetuating feelings of insecurity and the securitisation of socie…

The Framing of Islam and Muslims in the Tenth Anniversary Coverage of 9/11
This article analyses Australian television news programmes' framing of the tenth anniversary of the events of 9/11. Our findings build on and reaffirm the earlier work we did in this area-showing that television news programmes in Australia have moved away from conflating terrorism with Muslims and Islam. We found that the tenth anniversary coverage was presented with the frames of "reconciliation" and "moving on" from 9/11. The dominant frame u…
Moving On From 9/11
This article investigates how five Australian television stations reported and framed the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States. In Australia, Eid, the Muslim festival held to celebrate the end of Ramadan, coincided with the ninth anniversary of the events of 9/11. This provided an opportunity to examine how television news treated these two events. Our findings are situated within the literature arou…
Beyond faith
Counterterrorism responses in Australia have mirrored trends in other nations with a focus on pre-emption, including the criminalisation of activities defined as preparatory offences. Security-based transnational approaches to combat terrorist activity and propaganda alone are ineffective. Sometimes security measures can actually damage efforts to counter the appeal and take-up of violent extremism. While such measures should be used in domestic …
Towards understanding what Australia's Muslims really think
Over the past decade, issues concerning Islam and Muslims have featured prominently in public and media discourse. Much of this discourse is stereotypical, anecdotal and often unsubstantiated. Indeed, relative to the extent of comment on Islam and Muslims, few factual data exist on what Muslims really think. This article presents the views and opinions of the Queensland Muslim community based on the findings of a survey conducted at the 2009 Musl…

Multiculturalism and the Integration of Multigenerational Muslim Communities in Queensland, Australia
This article examines the impact of Muslim immigration on Muslim communities in Australia, based on the lived experiences of early Muslim Australians. Much of the literature on Muslim migration to Australia concerns Muslims as migrant communities. To date there has been a marked lack of research on the impact of Muslim immigration on Muslim communities, which have resided in Australia for multiple generations. Using descriptive phenomenology inqu…
Australian Public Opinion on the Israel–Palestine Conflict
This article examines the relationship between public opinion and foreign policy making in Australia by turning to the findings of a national survey of Australian public opinion on the Israel–Palestine conflict. The survey findings suggest that the Australian government's policy on the Israel–Palestine conflict is inconsistent with public opinion, and such disparity is explained here in terms of the lack of public attachment to the conflict, the …
Jihad, competing norms and the Israel–Palestine impasse
A central factor in the failure to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict is the direct competition that exists between its two most central international norms: 'self determination', the fundamental claim of the Palestinians, and 'self-defence', the overriding concern of Israelis. Particularly since 9/11, Palestinian violence has been a liability for their cause and has served to validate Israel's self-defence arguments. Increasingly, Palestinian…
Reformulating Jihad in the Context of the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict
The Israeli–Palestinian conflict remains unresolved largely due to a failure to redress its asymmetry and the fact that the ‘peace process’ is not based on international law, specifically the resolutions of the United Nations. The mounting religious dimension is also perpetuating the conflict's intractability. The classical Islamic siyar 1 with the doctrine of jihad at its core represents an authoritative ‘Islamic’ response to conflict and relati…
Reconstructing Jihad amid Competing International Norms
This book examines the Israel-Palestine conflict from a constructivist perspective of international relations. It explores the impact of competing international norms in the process of conflict resolution and in so doing, integrates theory, methods and research from the fields of international relations and Islamic studies. The book systematically argues that in the context of international norms and identity factors, a contemporary methodology f…

Islam and Contemporary Civilisation
Islam and Contemporary Civilisation examines the most complex debates within Islam today and dilemmas in its relations with Western civilisation. The book provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the Islamic religion and modern developments in Muslim thought. It proceeds to tackle questions of Islamic law, human rights, democracy, jihad, and the Israel-Palestine conflict in the context of Islam-West relations. In confronting these cha…
Australian Press and Public Opinion on the Israel-Palestine Conflict
This article examines the relationship between Australian press coverage of, and public opinion on, the Israel–Palestine conflict using a framing perspective. The first part of the study involves analysis of almost 10,000 articles published in The Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald between 2000 and 2010. The second part of the study is based on an online survey conducted with 1021 participants nationally. The main aim of this study is to id…

Meanings of Integration in the Australian Press Coverage of Muslims
This article uses a framing perspective to analyse the Australian press coverage of Muslim Australians with regard to the issue of their integration into Australian society. Taking a qualitative approach, this study is based on analysis of articles published in The Australian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Courier-Mail in alternate years from 2002 to 2010. Of particular focus are the themes and definitions associated with integration…

The Relevance of a Maqasid Approach for Political Islam Post Arab Revolutions
The role of Islam in the politics of Muslim-majority countries has attracted a plethora of scholarly research over the past two decades that generally refers to this phenomenon as political Islam. Much of the focus of this body of literature is concerned with the reconciliation of Islam and democracy. In recent years, the leading scholarship in this field has attempted to anticipate the future of political Islam and the prospect of post-Islamism.…
Reflections on 9/11
Previous research on the 9th and 10th anniversary coverage of 9/11 has found that sections of the Australian news media have focused less on blame and those responsible for the attacks and focused more on the victims and reconciliation. If the media has "moved on" from 9/11, have audiences followed? In order to answer this question, we conducted a series of focus groups with Muslims and non-Muslims. Our specific research questions concerned our p…
