Buku adalah cermin gagasan ideologi keberpihakan penulisnya. Demikianlah ketika seorang aktivis muda yang sedang merintis karier sebagai akademisi menghubungi saya untuk menuliskan kata pengantar untuk sebuah buku yang sedang dia persiapkan. Ideologi keberpihakan terhadap humanisme, pembelaan terhadap isu-isu pelanggaran hak asasi, interest-nya terhadap minoritas, apa pun suku bangsa dan agamanya. Dialah Roqiyul Ma’arif Syam, yang bukunya sedang kita baca ini: Krisis Rohingya, Akar Konflik dan Pelanggaran Hak Substantif Rohingya Perspektif HAM Universal. Rohingya dan anak muda Indonesia tentu dipisahkan oleh jarak geografis, tapi dipersatukan oleh gagasan Oki (panggilan akrab penulis). Roh...
Panduan Syariah, Fatwa Ulama, Regulasi Hukum, dan Mitigasi Spiritual Tidak ada suatu musibah pun yang menimpa seseorang kecuali dengan izin Allah; dan barang siapa yang beriman kepada niscaya Dia akan memberi petunjuk kepada hatinya. Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui segala Sesuatu. (QS At Taghabun/64: 11) Wabah yang terjadi di tengah umat manusia tidak terelakkan lagi mengubah berbagai kondisi dan kebiasaan di kalangan masyarakat. Baik kondisi yang berkaitan erat dengan tata cara beribadah maupun dalam hubungan antar manusia. Sebagai agama yang lengkap dan menyeluruh, tentunya Islam juga mengatur tata cara beribadah dan menjalankan kehidupan sehari-hari di tengah wabah yang melanda. Buku ini dituli...
Communicating Terror: The Rhetorical Dimensions of Terrorism argues that the meaning of terrorism is socially constructed and suggests a new definition of terrorism, chiefly as a process of communication between terrorists and multiple target audiences. Concise yet comprehensive, this up-to-date text examines how acts of "terrorism" create rhetorical acts: What messages, persuasive meanings, symbols, do acts of terrorism generate and communicate to the world at large? These rhetorical components include definitions and labels, symbolism in terrorism, public oratory about terrorism, and the relationship between terror and media. This book examines diverse acts of terrorism, not just September 11th or recent events in the Middle East, to show the history and various effects of these acts as a medium for communication. This unique communication perspective shows how the rhetoric of terrorism is truly a war of words, symbols, and meanings.
Each year, about two million pilgrims from over 100 countries converge on the Islamic holy city of Mecca for the hajj. While the hajj is first and foremost a religious festival, it is also very much a political event. No government can resist the temptation to manipulate the hajj for political and economic gain. Every large Muslim state has developed a comprehensive hajj policy and a powerful bureaucracy to enforce it. The Muslim world's leading multinational organization, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, has established the first international regime explicitly devoted to pilgrimage. Yet, Robert Bianchi argues, no secular or religious authority - national or international - can r...
Between Integration and Secession asks whether Muslim minorities can co-exist with the majority and other cultures within non-Muslim states. Moshe Yegar's excellent new work examines the radicalization of Muslim communities during the nationalist fervor that swept southeast Asia in the aftermath of World War II. The book's grand historical scope traces the theological and political impact of the postwar Islamic renaissance on the creation of Muslim separatist tendencies and heightened religious consciousness. Drawing on a wealth of archival and secondary sources, Yegar examines three cases of rebellion in Muslim minorities: in the Philippines, in Thailand, and in Burma/Myanmar. He studies the communities' struggle to define their aims-be it for communal separation, autonomy, or independence-and the means each has at their disposal to achieve them.

'It was a humbling experience to read the product of such a remarkable feat of scholarship. It is all at once an exploration in analytic history and a complete text of Islamic finance theory and application. It is also one of the most succinct renditions of the evolution of Islamic finance embedded in a comprehensive account of the particularities of economies as diverse as Malaysia and Turkey. This is a unique contribution to Islamic finance and Islamic economic history. It has been a rewarding learning experience. It is truly a breathtaking effort.' – Abbas Mirakhor, former IMF Executive Director and the recipient of the Islamic Development Bank Prize in Islamic Economics (2003) This ill...

This is a study of Malaysia’s new political economy, with a focus on ownership and control of the corporate sector. It offers a pioneering assessment of government-linked investment companies (GLICs), a type of state-owned institution that has long prevailed in the corporate sector but has not been analysed. Malaysia’s history of government-business ties is unique, while the nature of the nexuses between the state and the corporate sector has undergone major transitions. Corporate power has shifted from the hands of foreign firms to the state to the ruling party, and well-connected businessmen, and back to the state. Corporate wealth is now heavily situated in the leading publicly-listed government-linked companies (GLCs), controlled through block shareholdings by a mere seven GLICs under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Finance. To indicate why these GLICs are important actors in Corporate Malaysia, this study provides a deep assessment of their ownership and control of Bursa Malaysia’s top 100 publicly-listed enterprises.
