Free speech: Opportunities and Challenges for British...

The AMI Podcast ·

2021/07/15

The concept of unadulterated free speech is regularly vilified within many Muslim circles in the UK. Free speech is often perceived as a clarion call of apologists for racists defending the propagation of racism. The concurrent unwillingness of free speech advocates to acknowledge and reflect on their failure to win the hearts and minds of many sections of minority communities, provides a useful basis for this perception, and is rarely scrutinised. This paper seeks to highlight contradictions in

2021/07/15

This presentation will review recent calls within the UK for government-backed definitions of Islamophobia, while considering the unanticipated consequences of such proposals, as well as the convergence of the discussion around defining antisemitism with defining anti-Muslim racism. I focus on the definition of Islamophobia which is being proposed for adoption by government and a range of civil society organisations, and compare and contrast that definition with other ways of understanding

Although the United Nations ratified ‘the Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ (UDHR) in 1948, but we do not have such a universal deceleration on ‘human duties’ yet. The UDHR and the 1967 ‘International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights’ (ICCPR), which recognize freedom of expression, define its domine to “respect of the rights or reputations of others, and the protection of national security or of public order, or of public health or morals.” Muslim countries have repeatedly tried to ban

Gender & Legal Personhood in Hanafi law by Dr Saadia...

The AMI Podcast ·

2021/06/30

With gender being a central theme of the discussion, Dr. Yacoob began by positioning her presentation in the milieu of gender in Islamic law, and particularly from the Hanafi School. The presentation explored the idea of intersectional identities to ask the question about how much of what is seen as gender-related law, is actually informed exclusively by gender as the identity marker. Dr. Yacoob argued that it is often other aspects of a female subject’s identity that cause certain laws to apply

2021/06/30

During the second research of the academic term, Dr Haroon Bashir explored race in Islamicate societies and the claim that it was structured around racial hierarchies using blackness as a case study. He posed the question as to why certain stories of anti-blackness have been produced and reproduced so widely in western literature? Through the exploration of an under-studied genre of ‘Black Excellence’ literature, he attempted to unmoor these narratives. Haroon presented the thesis that much of the

Dr. Fanaei spoke about the various approaches, among Shi’i circles, to the event of Karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. The presentation opened with a critique of more traditional approaches to the event, which tend to focus on the undeniable tragic and calamitous aspects of it. Dr. Fanaei opened by suggesting that a more wholesome and beneficial appreciation would require an exploration of its positive ramifications of it. The presentation’s main body sought to explain how various

Shaykh Riaz gives a thorough analysis of the Quranic verses on the origin and purpose of creation. He emphasises that the objective of the verses was to remind people of the majesty of God as the universe is the manifestation of God, often described as the ‘face of God’. Shaykh Riaz enumerated verses alluding to the creation in conformity with the scientific knowledge of existence such as the occurrence of the big bang and the expansion of the universe, which he supported by hadith literature.

Sister Isabel focused on the Catholic perspective with an analysis of Pope Francis’ letter, Laudato si that sets out the Pope’s care for creation using the theology of creation as a motivation for believers. It reflects a change in the theology in response to changes in society, as is the ongoing process within Catholicism. The initial understanding of Genesis was that nature was created for the ease of human beings, however, due to the original sin of Adam and Eve, humans were left on earth to

Rabbi Michael began by explaining that the exchange of ideas on foundational issues amongst the three faith traditions is not a novel occurrence. Whilst in the past forums like the IRS which bring together intellectuals of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism for scholarly discussions did not necessarily exist, reading and replying to the scholarly works of other faiths was not uncommon. Thus, IRS continues a tradition of debating and learning from one another. His presentation comprised of two parts;
