Wenn guy sich die Gliederung verinnerlicht, so kann guy sehen, daß die Hausarbeit in zwei Themen-schwerpunkte aufgeteilt ist; nämlich der Regierungszeit Bāyezīt II. und in Verbindung dazu die geopolitischen und sozialökonomischen Beziehungen, die mit der Reichsgründung der Safawiden entstanden sind. Im zweiten Teil der Hausarbeit angelangt wird spezifisch auf die Gegenwehr der Osmanen, die mit der Regierungszeit Sulṭān Selīms beginnt, und im Grunde genommen über Jahrhunderte hinweg nicht zu enden vermag, eigegangen.

Djalâl-od-Dîn Rûmî que le monde de l'Islam désigne, par appreciate, comme "notre maître" (Mawlânâ, Mevlana en turc) n'est pas seulement l'un des plus grands penseurs mystiques de tous les temps, un voyant qui (au Xllle siècle !) parlait de l. a. fission de l'atome et de los angeles pluralité des systèmes solaires, c'est aussi l'un des plus merveilleux poètes de l. a. littérature universelle, fondateur de l'ordre des derviches tourneurs.
los angeles mise de l'homme au diapason du cosmos, l'oratorio spirituel des derviches qui symbolise l. a. ronde des planètes autour du soleil et, à un moment niveau, los angeles recherche du Soi, sont longuement célébrés dans les Rubâi'yât : comme les atomes, le soufi danse, et los angeles musique ne fait que "réveiller les mystères du coeur".

In November of 2002, the Justice and improvement celebration swept to victory within the Turkish parliamentary elections. as a result party's Islamic roots, its electoral triumph has sparked a number of questions either in Turkey and within the West: Does the get together harbor a mystery Islamist time table? Will the recent govt search to overturn approximately a century of secularization stemming from Kemal Atatürk's early-twentieth-century reforms? so much essentially, is Islam appropriate with democracy?

In this penetrating paintings, M. Hakan Yavuz seeks to respond to those questions, and to supply a accomplished research of Islamic political id in Turkey. He starts off within the early 20th century, whilst Kemal Atatürk led Turkey via a strategy of speedy secularization and beaten Islamic competition to his authoritarian rule. Yavuz argues that, for the reason that Atatürk's dying in 1938, even though, Turkey has been progressively relocating clear of his militant secularism and experiencing "a quiet Muslim reformation." Islamic political identification isn't homogeneous, says Yavuz, yet might be glossy and revolutionary in addition to conservative and very likely authoritarian. whereas the West has ordinarily noticeable Kemalism as an engine for reform opposed to "reactionary" political Islam, in truth the Kemalist institution has usually used the "Islamic chance" as an excuse to prevent democratization and hence carry directly to strength. Yavuz deals an account of the "soft coup" of 1997, during which the Kemalist military-bureaucratic institution overthrew the democratically elected coalition govt, which was once led via the pro-Islamic Refah occasion. He argues that the delicate coup plunged Turkey right into a renewed legitimacy predicament which could in simple terms be resolved through the liberalization of the political process. The booklet ends with a dialogue of the latest election and its implications for Turkey and the Muslim world.

Yavuz argues that Islamic social hobbies could be vital brokers for selling a democratic and pluralistic society, and that the Turkish instance holds long-term promise for the remainder of the Muslim international. in line with huge fieldwork and interviews, this paintings deals a worldly new knowing of the position of political Islam in a single of the world's such a lot strategically very important countries.
