Descripción
Sumario:Religious scholarship can be offensive to believers, as conflicts from the time of Galileo and Spinoza to the recent critique of Danish religious scholars in the wake of the infamous Muhammad cartoons have shown. Studies of this type of scholarship have been appropriated by believers as a means of reinventing their own identities - as the training of twentieth-century Muslim clergy demonstrates. This volume offers a unique collection of training materials from European Muslim clergy since the 1940s - including Third Reich reports on debriefing imams, surveillance files on Muslim activists, and information on Bosnian clergy and their training centres - as well as an exploration of religion and academic freedom in general, accompanied by appendices in both Arabic and English. This title can be previewed in Google Books - http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN9789087280253.
Notas:Includes an appendix of founding documents of European Islamic institutions in Arabic and English and an appendix of original German material from the debriefing report by main SS officer responsible for imam training programs set up in Nazi Germany.
