        by Tariq Parvez, Mehwish Rani

Instead, conceptual difficulties within the law and procedural problems in implementing it have led to an alarmingly high number of acquittals.

        Supporting Civil Society to Combat Violent Extremism in Pakistan

        by Jumaina Siddiqui, Sehar Tariq

        Gravitation toward CVE programming is new for most Pakistani organizations as large amounts of funding only recently became available. However, there is little emphasis on the technical capacity to understand the nature of violent extremism and how CSOs can fight it. This brief discusses both the challenges to implementing CVE programs and recommendations for how stakeholders can overcome these challenges. Jumaina Siddiqui is the program officer for Pakistan at USIP. Sehar Tariq is USIP’s country representative for Pakistan.

        QATAR PAPERS

        HOW DOHA FINANCES THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EUROPE

        by Christian Chesnot / Georges Malbrunot

        Les « Qatar papers » révèlent la cartographie du régime en France et en Europe menée par Qatar Charity, l’ONG qatarie la plus puissante. Ces documents confidentiels, pour la première fois, détaillant la plupart des 140 projets de financement de mosquées, d’écoles et de centres islamiques, au profit d’associations aux Frères musulmans. Ils révèlent le salaire versé à Tariq Ramadan, une figure de l’islam politique que Doha paraine en dehors des ses frontières. A l’issue d’une enquête menée dans six pays européens et une dizaines de villes de France, les auteurs exposent la dissimulation, parfois la double langue, des associations musulmanes sur leur finance étranger, aisi que la politique de l’autruche suivre par de nombreux maires, par électoralisme ou ignorance. Ils soulignent l’absurdité de la situation : avec l’argent des fidèles seul comme subvention, commentez les mosquées de France pourrait-elles se priver de l’aide de l’étranger ? Un voyage dans les coulisses d’une ONG riche et opaque liée au sommet de l’Etat qatari, comme le sénateur par plusieurs membres de la famille régnante, l’Al Thani. https://librairie-averroes.com/fr/actualites/252-qatar-papers-how-doha-finances-the-muslim-brotherhood-in-europe-9782914057004.html

        Dihya’s many smells

        by Tarik Bakari

        One of two things would have brought him back to Sanhaja, his Amazigh village: His mother death who ruined his childhood or the return of Najma, Haji Bernard's wife, his first passion, his forbidden love who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. And here he has finally returned, after a quarter of a century of absence, with great political and literary glory, to rearrange his inner chaos. But the place inflames his emotions which get shaken by his friend Mustafa's fanatism, and provoked by the smells of Dehya, a Spanish tourist of Berber origin. And the nerver answered question of today: Do we ever heal in exile? Tariq Bakari: Moroccan novelist and professor of Arabic literature. “The General’s Mirrors” and “The Blond Killer” have been published by Dar Al-Adab.

        Outcaste Bombay

        by Juned Shaikh

        This monograph presents a history of caste and class in the modern city through the experience of Dalits (members of the lowest caste) in twentieth-century Bombay. There, urban life did not dismantle caste, but instead made it robust and insulated it in the garb of modernity. Juned Shaikh demonstrates that the urban built environment and language are two sites for the habitation of caste in Bombay, as they are the spaces where it was concealed and eclipsed by class. The built environment is thus a quintessential marker, in which elements such as housing, tenements, slums, water supply, and drainage systems readily divulge the class of inhabitants. Shaikh explores the intersection and entanglement of caste and class by focusing on a cluster of groups that occupied subordinate positions in both these hierarchies: the Dalits. Their experience is relevant not only to South Asianists, but resonates with that of oppressed populations throughout the world.
