Ameli and Arzu Merali","description":"\u003cp\u003eOnly Canadian: The Experience of Hate Moderated Differential Citizenship for Muslims provides an assessment and analysis of the hatred and hostility towards Canadian Muslims. Canada’s ingrained prejudices appear to be foundational as evidenced most blatantly by the mistreatment of the First Nations. With this modus operandi of sorts, Canada is stuck in a repetitive cycle that is destined to continue without significant change.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe study pulls back and examines the history of Canada - a nation that perceives itself as a multicultural state – and makes explicit its treatment of First Nations. Even today Aboriginal people continue to be among the most disadvantaged in Canadian society. Tracing the Muslim presence in Canada back to 1871, the study also provides reasons for the recent immigration of Muslims to Canada and examination is made of Muslim identity today ranging from looking at employment to education.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUsing case studies, the authors deconstruct the Islamophobia and discursive racism present in Canada. Significant figures in the media are profiled and important laws are scrutinised till the bones of injustice are laid bare for the reader to see. Television, film and press have acted as highly effective vehicles for anti-Islam rhetoric and Muslims have been dehumanised to such an extent that they exist outside of the space where rights are guaranteed to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe study’s survey takes into consideration age, religiosity and visible Muslimness as well as income and work status. 10.9% of respondents stated they had experienced physical assault of some sort as a result of religious hatred. While this may be less than other countries surveyed for the project so far, the fact remains that the rate of 1 in every 10 Muslims is still worryingly high. Measuring the levels of intensity of different experiences of hostility, it was found that being stared at by strangers (57.7%) was the most intense. It was followed by hearing or being told an offensive joke or comment concerning Muslim people or about Islam (48.3%). Shockingly the percentage of respondents across the survey who stated they had never had a hate experience was only 2%. Beyond the practice of hate is hate ideology (the study states that the latter leads to the former) and 93.2% of respondents claimed to see ‘negative or insulting stereotypes of Muslims in the media.’\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eReviews\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ehttp:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/detail\/2014\/09\/21\/379489\/analyzing-islamophobia-in-canada\/\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBarbara Perry, Professor, Associate Dean\u003cbr\u003e Faculty of Social Science and Humanities\u003cbr\u003e University of Ontario Institute of Technology\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"Saied Reza Ameli and Arzu Merali offer a timely and critical assessment of the Muslim experience in Canada. Drawing upon a national survey of over 400 Muslims, the report highlights that all is not well in the “peaceable kingdom.” In fact, Ameli and Merali document the glaring contrasts between the Canadian rhetoric of multiculturalism and inclusion with the reality of exclusionary practices associated with Islamophobia. Importantly, they contextualize widespread discrimination in the workplace, on the street, in government policy, the media and education within a “hate environment.” They lay bare the enabling elements in Canada – the Charter of Values, and securitization, for example – that perpetuate the vilification of Muslims. So, too, do they remind us of the harmful effects of these processes, including behavioural change, fear, silencing and marginalization. This ground-breaking Canadian study also provides a framework for change through a series of sweeping recommendations for popular and political action both from within and beyond the Muslim community.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IHRC Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":56221483893120,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"PDF","offer_id":56221483925888,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/8575\/6864\/products\/0004714_only-canadian-the-experience-of-hate-moderated-citizenship-for-muslims-saied-r-ameli-and-arzu-merali.png?v=1616204813"},{"product_id":"attitudes-toward-conflicts-and-resolutions-muslim-world-priority-meeting-bodrum-on-conflict-resolution-25-29-october-2013-download-s-r-ameli-e-m-ahooei","title":"Attitudes toward Conflicts and Resolutions: Muslim World Priority Meeting Bodrum on Conflict Resolution 25-29 October 2013 - S.R.

It has been their religion that has been so crucial in cementing British Muslims into one 'community' given their otherwise remarkable national, ethnic and sectarian heterogeneity.

Dr. Ameli brings us a profound analysis on the roots of the problem. He takes a long durée perspective to deconstruct major myths of Western modernity by going back to the history of Al-Andalus and the Crusades, to the conquest of the Americas in 1492, the invention of the myth of European origin in Greek civilization in the 18th century, the eurocentric structures of knowledge of the modern world, all the way to the orientalist narratives of the recent \"war on terror\". But this book is not just about the deconstruction of Western Modernity myths. Dr Ameli provides a fascinating reconstruction from Islamic sources of concepts of Justice and Ethics as well as Islam's comprehensive contributions to different aspects of human life as solutions to the different problems humanity faces today. This book is a major scholarly contribution in relation to previous literature published on the topic.

Whether it’s the retelling of history in the classroom, the whitewashing of political atrocities and abuses, or the creation of a fictitious past through popular culture the objective is the same – to inform our choices and opinions in the troubled present by reference to a “glorious” past.

The rampant discrimination and targeting of Muslims today parallels the recent rise of right wing narratives (and the retreat of multiculturalism) in which Britons from the periphery (former colonies) are being pushed to the margins by Britons from the old Empire’s core. But while Islamophobia may be a new specificity the challenges we face as a community as a result of racism are largely the same as other BAME communities. Addressing them, therefore, requires a more collaborative approach, more akin to that developed by Muslim groups in France where joining forces with Roma and other anti-racism groups pre-empts official attempts to play “divide and rule” politics. Dr Francois sees the arts as a way in which British Muslims can define their own place within Britain. By becoming producers as well as consumers and storytellers as well as subjects we can start to challenge the racist, politically motivated narratives that have come to dominate what it means to be British.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eArzu Merali takes up the question of how Muslims should address their erasure and misrepresentation from national narratives. She finds problematic the reflexive responses which simply restate Muslim contributions to e.g. the wars Britain has historically fought, as this risks making us complicit in the present-day glorification of the military that seeks to legitimise war against Muslims abroad. While it is important to paint ourselves into the national picture, we must reject the temptation to present ourselves as the same as those who deny our role in society and history because to do so is to acquiesce in their moral abuses, which in many cases run counter to our own divinely inspired values.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe final piece in this edition is by Yousef Alhelou and departs in part from and dovetails with in other ways the theme above. As Palestinians have grown politically and militarily weaker and increasingly more isolated as a result of their abandonment by the Muslim world, this has given rise to a new energy in cyberspace that seeks to diffuse their cause. Historically, mainstream western media has been complicit in propagating pro-Israel narratives. This imbalance, a function of power asymmetry, is being challenged by a new wave of revolutionaries who have made cyberspace their battlefield. Applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp now enable Palestinians to bypass the censors and disseminate their own news and views to a global audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo read online please see our main page: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ihrc.org.uk\/the-long-view-publication\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.ihrc.org.uk\/the-long-view-publication\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IHRC Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39405583073472,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/8575\/6864\/products\/0031848_the-long-view-quarterly-magazine-volume-1-issue-2.png?v=1616225441"},{"product_id":"the-long-view-quarterly-magazine-volume-1-issue-3","title":"The Long View Quarterly Magazine Volume 1, Issue 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe occasion of Muharram is a sobering period for Muslims in which the events of Karbala loom large and invite us to reflect on the tragic circumstances surrounding the murder of the Prophet’s grandson Husayn. The holy month, coming as it does at the tail of a string of three sacred months, also marks the end of the Islamic calendar year, and is itself an opportunity for personal introspection and evaluating the condition of the wider ummah. For some members of the vast family of Islam, it is a time of intense mourning while for others it is a meritorious period in which to raise one’s levels of devotion and piety. Regardless of where we sit we are all exercised in mind and spirit by the same motifs of light versus darkness, right versus wrong, authority versus power, mercy versus cruelty, thrown up by the Ashuran tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet there are those who, instead of seeing the martyrdom of Husayn as a unifying force, exploit the occasion to foment discord and sectarianism among the ummah. By accentuating and misrepresenting differences in scholarly historical and theological interpretation, they seek to advance their own political agendas, and in doing so strain further an already much-frayed unity. The aims of dividing and disuniting have been pursued by actors of various political\/sectarian stripes through history with the result that sectarian attitudes have become deeply enmeshed in the mainstream religious fabric, to the extent that it is impossible even to speak about Islam without referencing these insidious prejudices. Imam Muhammad al–Asi, whose sermon we have transcribed to form the second article in this issue, explains how the ummah became hostage to \u003cem\u003e‘asabiyya\u003c\/em\u003e (chauvinism or self\/centredness based on familial and\/or political allegiance) in the first few decades following the death of the Prophet (pbuh) and how these mental shackles continue to imprison us in our understandings of our history.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eArguably the chief protagonist in the explosion of sectarian discourse and conflict in recent times is the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Iranian revolution in 1979 which overthrew a monarchy to usher in an Islamic Republic, by its very occurrence, presented an existential and instant threat to a royal family whose religious claims to political legitimacy were increasingly being called into question by their policies and personal behaviour. Fearing a spillover at home and elsewhere in the region, Riyadh embarked on a delegitimisation programme at the heart of which was the sectarianisation of the revolution across the Persian Gulf and the promotion of anti-Shia propaganda around the world. The kingdom threw its petrodollars into publications, institutes and madrasahs with the aim of steering Muslims away from the “Shia” uprising and shoring up its own claims to legitimacy by stressing its Sunni credentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur lead article by Hafsa Kara sees that process continuing up the present day, but with some notable developments. The intervening years have seen the Saudi mask slip as its Western client-state status has led it to gravitate ever closer to Israel to the point that it has effectively abandoned the Palestinian cause. Moreover, its repression of Islamic scholars and reformists at home, suppression of uprisings in the so-called Arab Spring aimed at instituting popular\/Islamic participatory government and the devastating war it wages against neighbouring Yemen have served only to underline the autocratic, absolutist and self-serving nature of the monarchy. Controversially Kara proposes that given that the massive Hajj and Umrah revenues generated for Saudi Arabia by pilgrims and which end up paying for the destruction of our own ummah, Muslims consider boycotting the pilgrimages to avoid being indirectly complicit in Saudi Arabia’s crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saudi rapprochement with Israel is all the more surprising in view of the fact that the Zionist state has not only strengthened its illegal hold on the Holy Land but has historically played a major role in perpetuating the global Islamophobia epidemic. Much of the media demonisation of Muslims we see today is generated by pro-Zionist organisations enjoying the implicit and explicit support of Tel Aviv. For Israel it is a way of garnering public sympathy in the face of growing international support for Palestinian self-determination and revulsion against Israeli war crimes. In our third article Robert Inlakesh explains the rise of modern-day Islamophobia as a natural outgrowth of the establishment of the Zionist state. After centuries of being treated as the “other”, the founding and evolution of Israel into a western client state that would serve as an outpost for western political interests in the Middle East led to the replacement of Jewish anti-Semitism with Arab anti-Semitism. “Ultimately, as Muslims, if we wish to solve the problem of Islamophobia, we must recognize that our struggle against it, is also the struggle of the Palestinian people and of the liberation of the Middle-East,” he argues.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe struggle for emancipation is also a theme of our fourth article by Zainab Siddiqui.  Siddiqui provides a critical lens on materialist feminist narratives, arguing that they fail to take us – as Muslims and or people of colour the world over – towards their averred aim of liberation for women.  This critique takes as a starting point the implication of liberal theories of feminism in racializing and colonial projects, past and present.  However Siddiqui argues that materialist feminism – using the example of Palestine and the Israeli settler-colonial project – does little except reinforce the same or similar racialized narratives deployed in colonial hierarchies and projects.  Referencing Franz Fanon’s works on the Algerian war of independence, Siddiqui argues that Palestinian women’s involvement in resistance is a revolutionary form of emancipatory politics – defying subjectifization by an oppressor entity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the spaces of defiance, whether in Palestine, Yemen or our own self-analysis of our sectarian identities that we may begin to find a way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo read online please see our main page: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ihrc.org.uk\/the-long-view-publication\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.ihrc.org.uk\/the-long-view-publication\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IHRC Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39405583106240,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/8575\/6864\/products\/0031946_the-long-view-quarterly-magazine-volume-1-issue-3.png?v=1616225447"},{"product_id":"genocide-memorial-day-anthology-2012-2019","title":"Genocide Memorial Day Anthology: 2012 – 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn anthology of the winners, runners-up and highly commended entries.

Even for our generation, they are in danger of becoming a historical blur as more immediate crises compete for our attention.

Saudi Arabian backed and inspired Salafi-Wahhabi fighters from the Caucasus and other areas of the former Soviet Union today form the backbone of an itinerant Muslim army that has served western imperialist interests in Libya, Egypt and Syria.

It suits the Global North to turn a blind eye to their suffering so that we can continue our over-consumptive lives and enjoy cheap produce. Exploited by farmers and criminal gangs, this army of cheap labour is then instrumentalised by the far right – and increasingly the so-called respectable right – to push their racism driven anti-immigrant agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe occasion of Arbaeen is typically associated with Shia Muslims, marking as it does the end of the period of mourning for Imam Hussain, the third Imam of the Shia and the grandson of the Prophet (saw). Commemorated all over the world, it is a relatively underreported event given its scale and importance in the Shia calendar. This year some 20 million people descended on the Iraqi city of Karbala in Iraq, where Imam Hussein is buried, to mark the anniversary of the sacrifice he made along with his family and companions to implement the religious imperative of right over might, authority over power. Visiting Karbala for the first time, as a guest of the organisation that administers Imam Hussein’s shrine, \u003cem\u003eAhmed Kaballo\u003c\/em\u003e is struck by the spirit of egalitarianism pervading the commemorations as well as the abiding legacy of Hussein’s sacrifice: a powerful moral reminder to resist evil and oppression. Inspired by the events of Karbala, thousands of Iraqis have laid down their lives to fight off the threat of Daesh and protect their communities from its perverted pseudo-Islamic ideology. Like their illustrious predecessors, their sacrifices too have not been forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015 IHRC welcomed the decision by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination urging the Netherlands to get rid of the character Black Pete from its annual Sinterklaas festivals because it contains racist elements. In recent years the Sinterklaas Festival has been a testing ground for the status of ethnic minorities and their attempts to influence what it means to be Dutch. The festival is based on a legend that every 5th December, St. Nicholas travels to the Netherlands from Spain to reward or punish children. Accompanying him are an army of helpers or “Black Petes”, clownish and acrobatic figures dressed in Moorish page suits. While the legend of Sinterklaas is rooted in Middle Age European history the character of Black Pete is a colonial construct dating from the 19th century at the height of the Dutch Empire, when the Netherlands was involved in slavery and the slave trade for more than 200 years. The racist aspects of the commemoration of Sinterklaas are offensive and an affront to the memory of those who suffered from European colonialism.

Where we are outraged enough to speak out, such as for example on the issue of Islamophobic anti-terrorism legislation, the response has often fallen into the frameworks constructed for us by our adversaries thereby advancing their agenda instead of securing our own strategic objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile she laments the slide into a trap set by our adversaries, this is not a nostalgic plea for a return to some imagined halcyon days. Rather it is a genuine, heartfelt call on the community by someone who daily lives and breathes the Muslim experience to reflect and reset if we are to ever become the kind of force our numerical presence and collective talents justify.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe recent election of a party led by an opportunistic xenophobe and misogynist will do little to ease things for Britain’s Muslims and racialised minorities in general, not least of all because the poll was driven overwhelmingly by an issue that has its roots in racism: Brexit. The first of our articles on the subject by Faisal Bodi identifies the underlying causes for the popular support for the party that recast itself as the party of Brexit, paying particular attention to the flocking of Labour’s traditional working class base to the dog-whistle of immigration. He highlights how Islamophobic and racist meta-narratives have been placed centre-stage creating an environment of hate which encourages the popular expression of hitherto latent sentiments. While some have called for Labour to adjust to the new reality, something that effectively amounts to a policy of appeasing racism, others have urged the party to reconnect in new ways with people whose economic disaffection is vocalised in the language of race. There is no quick fix to the “white tide” sweeping Britain, argues Bodi, and things may have to get a lot worse for those on the receiving end before they get better.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe second article on Brexit, by Kasia Narkowicz, looks at how the issue has brought into sharp relief the racism and discrimination faced by people of Eastern European origin. The arrival of these expatriates in large numbers after 2004 coincides with an increase in anti-immigrant sentiment\/hysteria in Britain. While Muslims are often depicted through old racist tropes of potential terrorists and sexual predators, Eastern Europeans are seen to be responsible for stealing jobs and resources. Since they are also likely to feel the force of racist post-Brexit immigration policy, it is a travesty that their plight is usually overlooked. Narkowicz says that while many Europeans from the former Soviet bloc have made Britain their home, they feel far from at home. They are scared and insecure. Narrowing, increasingly racialised, definitions of Britishness and rising hostility make these white and Christian migrants feel more and more unwelcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur final article comes from a campaigner who was reluctantly thrust into anti-racism activism after her father was murdered by a white supremacist as he walked home from evening prayers at his local mosque in 2013. The killer of 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem would later be found to be responsible for planting bombs at mosques in the same area of the West Midlands. Maz Saleem recounts the Islamophobia she faced from a criminal justice system that initially treated her family as the prime suspects and showed little sensitivity to religious sensibilities pertaining to burying the deceased. But her focus is much wider, explaining the term ‘institutional Islamophobia’, and documenting its presence across the gamut of society from security legislation to education and health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe submissions this issue paint stark pictures of societal crises and upheaval.  Yet from these analyses comes the possibility of joined up thinking and conversation.  From there, maybe even action.  Let’s make a start.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo read online see here: \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ihrc.org.uk\/the-long-view-publication\/vol2-issue1\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.ihrc.org.uk\/the-long-view-publication\/vol2-issue1\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IHRC Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Issue 1","offer_id":58402611396992,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/8575\/6864\/products\/0058274_the-long-view-quarterly-magazine-volume-2-issue-1.jpg?v=1616226479"},{"product_id":"political-islamophobia-at-american-policy-institutes-battling-the-power-of-islamic-resistance-hakimeh-saghaye-biria","title":"Political Islamophobia at American Policy Institutes: Battling the Power of Islamic Resistance - Hakimeh Saghaye-Biria","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the last 5 decades the RAND Corporation, the Brookings Institute and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy have focussed on developments in Western Asia (‘the Middle East).
