        ANOTHER ONE CASE

        by Syamirulah Rahim, Zul Azlin, Onn Azli, SN Amran, Fahd Razy, Ahmad Zakimi, Mahyuddin Mohamed, Kamarul Ariffin, Ainul Arina, Rozanizam Zakaria, Khairil Idham Ismail, Rosmawati Hamzah, Norhasidah Abd Razak, Rashdan Mohamed, Noor Hayati Yasmin, Aliyya Ahmad, Adibah Abdullah, Khairy Malik, Hana Hadzrami, Bel Nawhen

        Memory is a double-edged sword that is both a blessing and a curse.   In the halls of a hospital, echoes of human suffering and triumph ring loudest, imprinting indelible marks upon the minds of its workers. Some memories are sweet, a blissful balm to recall; others knives-sharp, wounding the soul.   Death and life, pain and healing, laughter and tears - however we choose to remember them, they remain forever unforgettable.   20 cases, 20 writers.   Regardless of whether we are healthcare workers or patients, our humanity ultimately remains the same.   Just one more case - that unforgettable one.

        Heilung oder Niedergang

        by Rahim Taghizadegan

        The vitality of Europe is in particular danger. Europe depends on all kinds of tubes and thus increasingly on artificial interventions. This is not a negative judgment of Europe and Europeans, but a warning that the old lady has become fragile and is at an existential fork in the road: Decline or healing.

        Teheran im Bauch

        Wie meines Vaters Land mich fand

        by Mathias Kopetzki

        Der Berliner Schauspieler Mathias Kopetzki, aufgewachsen bei deutschen Adoptiveltern, entschließt sich mit über dreißig Jahren, nach Teheran zu reisen, um seinen leiblichen Vater und dessen streng muslimische Großfamilie kennenzulernen. Durch deren leidvolle Vergangenheit auch mit der eigenen konfrontiert, erlebt er den islamischen Gottesstaat als ein faszinierendes Land voller Gegensätze und verliebt sich im Schatten iranischer Moscheen in eine Kusine, die trotz Todesgefahr ein Verhältnis mit ihm beginnt. Kopetzki zeichnet in seiner spannenden, humorvollen und berührenden Geschichte das ungewöhnliche Bild einer Metropole, in der Restriktionen Alltag sind, Familie sich stützt, Glauben Halt verspricht – aber auch das einer Gesellschaft, in der nichts so ist, wie es scheint. Und er entdeckt, dass diese Reise zu seiner Herkunft auch eine Reise zu ihm selbst bedeutet …

        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.

        The Story of Muslims in the Americas, in Thirteen Mosques

        by Omar Mouallem

        Muslims have lived in the New World for over 500 years, before Protestantism even existed, but their contributions were erased by revisionists and ignorance. In this colorful alternative history o f the Americas, we meet the enslaved and indentured Muslims who changed the course of history, the immigrants who advanced the Space Race and automotive revolution, the visionaries who spearheaded civil rights movements, and the 21st-century Americans shifting the political landscape while struggling for acceptance both within and outside their mosques.   In search of these forgotten stories, Mouallem traveled 7,000 miles, from the northwest tip of Brazil to the southeast edge of the Arctic, to visit thirteen pivotal mosques. What he discovers is a population as diverse and conflicted as you’d find in any other house of worship, and deeply misunderstood. Parallel to the author’s geographical journey is a personal one. A child of immigrants, Mouallem discovers that, just as the greater legacy of Western Islam was lost on him, so were the stories of prior generations in his family. An atheist since the 9/11 attacks, Mouallem reconsiders Islam and his place within it.   Meanwhile, as the rise of hate groups threaten the liberties of Muslims in the West, ideologues from the East try to suppress their liberalism. With pressures to assimilate coming from all sides, will Muslims of the Americas ever be free to worship on their own terms?
