Five or six hundred [aristocratic] heads lopped off would have assured you repose and happiness; a false humanity has restrained your arm and suspended your blows; it will cost the lives of millions of your brothers.
-Jean-Paul Marat
People, give thanks to the gods! Your most redoubtable enemy has fallen
beneath the scythe of Fate. Riquetti [Mirabeau] is no more; he dies
victim of his numerous treasons, victim of his too tardy scruples,
victim of the barbarous foresight of his atrocious accomplices. Adroit
rogues who are to be found in all circles have sought to play upon your
pity, and already duped by their false discourse, you mourn this traitor
as the most zealous of your defenders; they have represented his death
as a public calamity, and you bewail him as a hero, as the savior of
your country, who has sacrificed himself for you. Will you always be
deaf to the voice of prudence; will you always sacrifice public affairs
to your blindness? …Beware of prostituting your incense....maratfree range

Jadaliyya Launches Critical Currents in Islam (CCI) Page
Critical Currents in Islam Page Editors
Jadaliyya’s Critical Currents in Islam Page
engages with a broad range of topics related to Islam as it is
interpreted, practiced, and contested in political, cultural, and
economic arenas throughout the world. The page is a place for fresh and
critical perspectives on many of the issues that have defined internal
discussions within Muslim majority societies and a space for
highlighting new directions and discussions. Comments and contributions
are welcome at cci@jadaliyya.com.
CCI
poses important questions about what makes movements and practices
“Islamic,” and critically deconstructs the notion of an eternal,
unchanging religion. With this in mind, we also seek to highlight the
variation and nuances of these Islamic movements and practices as they
occur within communities across the globe.
Our
geography is not limited to the Middle East. We are mindful of efforts
to create “the Muslim world” as a unit of analysis that is often
juxtaposed with other units that are not strictly defined according to
their religious beliefs and practices (e.g., “the West”). As a result,
we encourage efforts to challenge the tendency to essentialize Islamic
societies which attribute a cross range of political, social, and
cultural views among the global community of Muslims to their religious
beliefs. In keeping with Jadaliyya's broader approach, we are interested
in looking at communities on their own terms.
|
Our
goal in designating a space for the study of Islam within Jadaliyya is
to examine the ways in which Islam is but one of a multiplicity of
factors that interact in the cultivation of political, economic, and
sociocultural arrangements, often yielding varied outcomes across the
breadth of Islamic societies. It is in that spirit that we are launching
with articles that explore how practical political and social
considerations interact with personalities, texts and discourses
presumed to provide religious authority in order to produce such diverse
results. read more
