An Introduction To Political Islam & Islamism
by Professor Tariq Ramadan (Oxford University)
Dates: Tuesday 10th December & Tuesday 17th December 2007
Time: 6.00 pm
Venue: School of Oriental & African Studies, Vernon Square, Penton
Rise, Kings Cross, London, WC1X 9EL
The world of Islam is complex and diverse and numerous questions arise when one asks about the meaning of "Islamism" and "Political Islam". Is there a difference between Muslims and Islamists? If so, how can we understand this difference and how can we approach the diverse Islamic political trends and movements?
During this series of lectures, Prof Ramadan will propose a theoretical- theological framework (also based on a historical approach) to help tackle the issue. An introduction to the different Islamist movements and organisations, both past and present, with their specific national features will be followed by a reflection on Islamism today, studying the wide range of trends, from the more legalist to the violent ones, their respective evolution and representativeness. A substantial period of time will be allocated for questions and discussions. All welcome.
