        The European Union, counter terrorism and police co–operation, 1991–2007

        Unsteady foundations?

        by David Brown

        This volume examines the underlying foundations on which the European Union's counter-terrorism and police co-operation policies have been built since the inception of the Treaty on European Union, questioning both the effectiveness and legitimacy of the EU's efforts in these two critically important security areas. Given the importance of such developments to the wider credibility of the EU as a security actor, this volume adopts a more structured analysis of key stages of the implementation process. These include the establishment of objectives, both at the wider level of internal security co-operation and in terms of both counter-terrorism and policing, particularly in relation to the European Police Office, the nature of information exchange and the 'value added' by legislative and operational developments at the European level. It also offers a more accurate appraisal of the official characterisation of the terrorist threat within the EU as a 'matter of common concern'. In doing so, not only does it raise important questions about the utility of the European level for organising internal security co-operation, but it also provides a more comprehensive assessment of the EU's activities throughout the lifetime of the Third Pillar, placing in a wider and more realistic context the EU's reaction to the events of 11 September 2001 and the greater prominence of Islamist terrorism. ;

        A L'OMBRE DU CUMULONIMBUS

        Témoignage d’une franco-israélienne … Broché

        by Francoise Hoffmann

        Que savez-vous vraiment d’Israël ? Depuis 1948, ce jeune Etat connu pour avoir fait refleurir le désert et intégré des millions de rescapés de la Shoah et ceux fuyant les vents froids de l’antisémitisme, est aujourd’hui à la pointe du progrès et malgré tout fait l’objet de reportages biaisés qui dégradent son image. La propagande palestinienne s’impose dans la bataille médiatique et gangrène les relations diplomatiques d’Israël avec nombre de chancelleries.Ce témoignage décrit les impacts d’une actualité fracassante sur la vie quotidienne à l’ombre du cumulonimbus. Ce gros nuage annonciateur d’orages dans un ciel d’azur symbolise le hiatus entre la normalité et l’enfer des violences endurées.L’auteure guide le lecteur pas à pas dans la courte Histoire d’Israël. À l’aide de faits documentés, souvent occultés, elle livre sa version des faits. Cet ouvrage répond à la nécessité de déconstruire les mythes et falsifications encryptés dans les consciences et étrangers à la vérité. Il analyse également le rôle de la Ligue Arabe dans cette vaste supercherie.La lecture de ce livre exige l’ouverture d’esprit requise pour la découverte d’un monde méconnu et attachant. Du parallèle établi entre la France et l’Etat hébreu, ressort une inimitié entre deux pays qui n’ont pas vocation à se mal aimer alors que les attentats islamistes font rage, et que des Juifs français s’installent en Israël.Francoise Hoffmann est née en France alors que ses parents pourchassés par Les lois de Vichy réussissent à survivre. De sa première visite en Israël, elle revient transformée et fera son alya avec son mari sioniste lui-aussi et leur deux enfants. Les abondantes notes consacrées aux événements dramatiques, à sa vie personnelle et à son engagement dans le travail social contribuent grandement à l’écriture de ce livre. 384 Pages, Published in 2020

        Who They Really Are

        by Robin Wright

        The Islamists Are Coming: Who They Really Are is the first book to survey the rise of Islamist groups in the wake of the Arab Spring. A wide range of experts from three continents cover the major countries where Islamist parties are redefining politics and the regional balance of power. They cover the origins, evolution, positions on key issues and the future in key countries. Robin Wright offers an overview, Olivier Roy explains how Islam and democracy are now interdependent, Annika Folkeson profiles the 50 Islamist parties, and 10 experts identify Islamists in Algeria, Egypt (two), Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, the Palestinian territories, Syria, and Tunisia.

        Engaging Islamists and Promoting Democracy

        A Preliminary Assessment

        by Mona Yacoubian

        While U.S. engagement of moderate Islamists remains a hotly debated question, U.S. democracy promoters have been working with legal Islamist parties and their leaders over the past decade. This Special Report examines the experiences of U.S. democracy promoters at the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI) working with Islamist parties in three countries: Morocco, Jordan, and Yemen. The assessment is written from the perspective of democracy promoters; it is based on extensive interviews and discussions with staff members who reside in-country, Washington-based staff, and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) democratization experts. The promoters’ views are necessarily subjective, providing one viewpoint to understand this complex topic.

        Experiences of Political Islam in the Corridors of Modern State

        by Group of Researchers

        The study aims to preview the governance experiences of Islamists in the modern era, indicate the extent of their success or failure, and attempt to discover the real fundamentals that assisted their establishment and the real factors that led to their failure. Further, it attempts to reveal their various influences on societies’ systems and how they have been affected by global modernity and the extent of their influence on it. The study also seeks to discover the temporal and spatial contexts for the emergence of the various Islamists’ governance experiences in the modern era and to reliably determine the causes and factors that led to their rise and failure. It moreover seeks to reveal the essence of the practices of modern political, social and institutional experiences of Islamic governance and how close or far they really are from theoretical standards, ideas and perceptions. Furthermore, it attempts to evaluate their institutional performance, know the interactions (containment and collision) between the political perception with religious reference and Western and Arab nationalist perceptions. It finally analyzes the level of interaction of Arab regimes with such experiences in terms of vision, practices, discourse, and the Western position towards them to benefit from the obstacles to success and factors of failure of each experience under consideration at either the regional level or the national level as a whole. Another objective is to use their societal influences and institutional production in building a theoretical framework and a knowledge model that can play its role in developing a vision with social and economic dimensions worthy of application. The most prominent experiences discussed by the project are: Khomeinism in Iran, Erbakan and Justice and Development in Turkey, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Al-Nahda in Tunisia, Al-Turabi in Sudan, House of Saud in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Justice and Development in Morocco, the National Liberation Front in Algeria, the Bolkiah in the Sultanate of Brunei,  Hamas in Palestine, Begovic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan, the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate in India, Islamic Courts in Somalia, Tuaregs and Ansar Dine in Mali, and Boko Haram in Nigeria.

        Findings from Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, and Turkey

        by Judy Barsalou

        On April 12, 2005, the United States Institute of Peace’s Grant Program organized a roundtable discussion featuring three Institute grantees who had conducted research in the Middle East on the role and impact of Islamist parties. This report summarizes their presentations. The three grantees—Professor Janine Astrid Clark (University of Guelph, Ontario), Professor Sultan Tepe (University of Illinois, Chicago), and Professor Carrie Rosefsky Wickham (Emory University, Atlanta)—were joined at the roundtable by discussant Daniel Brumberg, a professor at Georgetown University and special consultant to the Institute’s Muslim World Initiative.

        Islamist Politics in Iraq after Saddam Hussein

        by Graham E. Fuller

        Two critical political questions arise as the new Iraq emerges. Will the numerically dominant Shiite majority be open to full political collaboration with the Sunni and Christian minorities? What are the strengths and ideologies of Islamist political movements, particularly Shiite, that have asserted themselves since the fall of Saddam Hussein? In order to address these issues the U.S. Institute of Peace hosted on May 21, 2003 a workshop entitled “Religious Politics in Iraq.” The presenters were Graham Fuller, author of The Future of Political Islam and co-author of The Arab Shia: The Forgotten Muslims; Faleh Abdul-Jabar, lecturer at London Metropolitan University and author of The Shiite Movement in Iraq and editor of Ayatollahs, Sufis, and Ideologues: State, Religion, and Social Movements in Iraq; Rend Rahim Francke, founding executive director of the Iraq Foundation and co-author of The Arab Shia: The Forgotten Muslims; and Kenneth Katzman of the Congressional Research Service. The symposium was moderated by David Smock, director of the Institute’s Religion and Peacemaking Initiative. This Special Report, focusing on Islamist politics in Iraq, presents a revised version of the paper that Fuller prepared for the May 21 symposium.

        Rechtspopulismus und Dschihad (Right-wing Populism and Jihad)

        Nautilus Flugschrift

        by Marc Thörner

        Similarities of western right-wing populists to radical Islamists are not merely coincidental – they share the same origin. “Neocolonialists!” – “Islamic Terrorists!”, these are the accusations with which the old and new right in the west and Islamists all over the world refer to each other. Apparently, right-wing populists and jihadists are sworn enemies. But if you take a look at the writings and authors that both movements refer to, you will find the same sources: Ernst Jünger, Martin Heidegger, Alexis Carrel. All three of them serve as reference not only for the New Right but also for the pioneers of radical Islam. Marc Thörner points out the common origin of these thoughts and their different but still related manifestations today: Both movements condemn secularism, liberalism and homosexuality, both commit to traditional social structures and values like religion, order and obedience, self-sacrifice and martyrdom, both fight individualism and rationalism. In Syria, radical Islamists and the political right already act like allies. Will they continue their mutual hostility in Europe or will they soon congregate here as well? For his research, Marc Thörner spoke to Alexander Gauland of German far right party AfD and travelled to the frontlines of Syrian civil war; he interviewed leading representatives of the Assad Regime, talked to Iranian writers, met Lebanese fascists and followers of Hisbollah as well as historians and Arabists in Europe.

        The Rise of Islamist Militancy in Bangladesh

        by Sumit Ganguly

        The Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention of the United States Institute of Peace commissioned this report in recognition of the rising importance of domestic developments in Bangladesh and their impact on South Asian security. Since 1999 Islamist militants have unleashed a campaign of terror that has gone virtually unchecked. At the same time, governance, rule of law, and provision of justice seem in short supply. Indian security agencies see connections between terrorism in India and groups operating in Bangladesh. The report is based partly on field research and interviews the author conducted in the region in August 2005.

        How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position

        by Tabish Khair

        Funny and sad, satirical and humane, Tabish Khair’s How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position tells the interlinked stories of three unforgettable men – the flamboyant Ravi, the fundamentalist Karim and the unnamed and pragmatic Pakistani narrator – whose trajectories cross in Aarhus, and are complicated by the Danish Prophet Mohammad Cartoon Controversy. As the unnamed narrator copes with his divorce and Ravi, despite his exterior of sceptical flamboyance falls deeply in love with a beautiful woman who is incapable of responding in kind, Karim – their landlord – goes on with his job as a cab-driver and his regular Friday Quran Discussion sessions. But is he going on with something else? Who is Karim? Why does he disappear suddenly at times or receive mysterious phone calls? Even as Ravi’s great love wilts in the half-light of the autumn sun in Denmark, a conspiracy appears to have been hatched in front of his secular eyes: a fundamentalist attacks one of the cartoonists who had drawn the controversial caricatures of the prophet of Islam. Very soon, all three men are embroiled in doubt, suspicion and, perhaps, danger.

        Who Are the Insurgents?

        Sunni Arab Rebels in Iraq

        by Amatzia Baram

        “Who Are the Insurgents?” offers insight into the breadth of Sunni Arab groups actively participating in the insurrection in Iraq and specifically examines the three broad categories of insurgents: secular/ ideological, tribal, and Islamist. With the exception of the ultraradical Salafi and Wahhabi Islamists, this report finds, many rebels across these three classifications share common interests and do not sit so comfortably in any one grouping or category. This presents specific problems—and opportunities—for U.S. and coalition forces that, if handled correctly, could eventually lead to a rapprochement with some of the insurgents

        What is Political in Islam?

        by Mostafa Abdelzaher, Mohamed Tewfiq, Zeinab el Baqari and Mostafa Zahran

        Many writers and researchers tend to either look into the Islamic phenomenon as a whole or focus on one of its manifestations (Muslim Brotherhood; traditional Salafis; Jihadist Salafis) without considering other manifestations. This book seeks to look into unity and diversity within contemporary Islamic movements in Egypt. On one hand, the book examines the movement’s paths and its branching into different trends, and on the other hand, it examines the general umbrella of the whole phenomenon. This will be within a social-historical context focusing on the role of ideology in establishing political and social trends. This book is a collection of studies by several researchers edited by Mostafa Abdel Zaher. It highlights the patterns of Islamists and the factors behind the raise of political Islamic movements, from the establishment of Muslim Brotherhood to the period after July 2013 in four chapters: the first chapter is devoted to the experiment of the Muslim Brotherhood. The second chapters is for the social structures of Islamic youth in developmental work, students’ activities and simulations models, with a study on the pattern of “column Sheikh” school. The third chapter is for Salafis; their divisions and pragmatic concept of politics – with the transformations of each division after January Revolution and Rabaa events. The last chapter is for the Jihadist movements.   The book is only 152 pages. It is like a mapping of the Islamists’ divisions and a memory of the period before January 2011 to post July 2013.

        Journeys of Ibn Elbytar

        by Ali Brisha

        In his quest to shed the light on Egypt's contemporary hardships, the young Egyptian novelist (Ali Brisha) introduced his second novel “Journeys of Ibn Elbytar”. Few months after the former president of Egypt Mubarak was ousted in 2011, the darker side of the Islamists and the extremist in Egypt surfaced all over the country . the novel is an in depth research to summarize the complicated relationships between the east and west since the crusades all the way through the modern ages.   The novel is named after Ibn Elbytar, who is the main character of the story. Ibn Elbytar is an imaginary character who lived in the 13th century. Ibn Elbytar would visit Europe at the peak of the dark ages, he is the son of a European Nobel who raped an Egyptian woman in Damietta during the seventh crusade which was led by King Louis IX of France. seeking to follow the traces of his dad, Ibn Elbytar starts his adventure sailing off to Europe while tense relationships between east and west dominated the scene , in his epic journey between the two shores of the Mediterranean he was captured in Cyprus, and his stay in Cyprus would reveal the Coptic roots of our Egyptian Moslem young adventurer, and would shed the light on the complicated and integrated life style of the Mediterranean people. In parallel to the journey of Ibn Elbitar, the writer travels along with the other contemporary flip of the novel, which is represented by «Prof.Daniel». Daniel is an Egyptian Archaeologist , who falls in love with his pretty Italian assistant during his scientific mission in Rome. The name of Daniel itself bares a variety of revelations . From one side the name of Daniel refers to a mosque in Alexandria, which is his home city that shaped out his Mediterranean identity, from the other side it refers to an Israelite profit mentioned in the old testament, referring to the homelessness suffered by the Israelite long time ago. At the very end of the story the link between Daniel and Ibn Elbitar revealed, showing that the two different stories are actually the same story, but each is narrated counter-wise.
