State and Islam
Kees van Dijk and Alexander de Groot (eds.)
The volume State and Islam contains eleven papers written by internationally renowned scholars that deal with the relationship between Islam and State in countries geographically as far apart and as different in culture as Iran, Turkey and Egypt in the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia in Southeast Asia, and Cameroon in Africa. Most of the papers deal with the tension that may arise from the differences in outlook between a government that has to cope with the practicalities of everyday social and political life, and groups in society which have their own distinct ideas about what form an ideal Islamic society should take.
Throughout the years the relationship between the reinforcement of Islam and the actual policies of a government has been the concern of many. Sometimes it is the direct manifestation of the religion that is the bone of contention. A conflict may arise over the proper place of Islamic law in society or over the correct observance of religious duties. Sometimes it is the more worldly relationship between a government and its people, or the inter-personal relations between the citizens, that is at stake. In this case the actual behaviour of the sovereign and of the population is judged according to the standards set by an ideal concept of a just Islamic government and society.

De banier van de Islam, Het nieuwe elan van de Egyptische Moslimbroederschap. Een analyse van haar huidig orgaan Liwa al-Islam
Ivo Freijsen
In De banier van de Islam behandelt Ivo Freijsen de ideeën en opvattingen van de hedendaagse Moslimbroederschap, zoals die zijn opgetekend in recente jaargangen (van mei 1987 tot juni 1990) van het dagblad Liwa al-Islam, dat als het officiële orgaan van de Egyptische Moslimbroederschap kan worden beschouwd. Deze groepering, die streeft naar de islamisering van de (Egyptische) maatschappij middels een onverkorte implementatie van de islamitische wet, heeft sinds haar oprichting in 1928 (1929) een zeer belangrijke rol gespeeld in dat land, en wel tegen de verdrukking in. Zelfs het feit dat de Broederschap sinds 1954 officieel verboden is heeft niet kunnen verhinderen dat ze altijd een belangrijke factor is gebleven in de Egyptische politiek.
