Indonesian and German Views on the Islamic Legal Discourse on Gender and Civil Rights
Description:... Indonesian and German Views on the Islamic Legal Discourse on Gender and Civil Rights addresses current issues and discourses on gender equality and civil rights in Indonesia and Germany. Contributions to this volume delve into the legal status of Muslim women by reference to the rights to freedom from discrimination and of Muslim minority groups facing the issue of criminalization of apostasy. Despite its focus on issues related to Indonesia and Indonesian Islam, this volume also covers parallel developments and discourses in and on other countries and societies such as Iranian, Lebanese, Malaysian and German. Employing manifold perspectives and approaches, including theology, social sciences, discourse studies, and science of law, it sets out to contribute to our understanding of Islamic gender discourse and relevant legal issues among Muslims across the world. The authors include leading scholars of Germany and Indonesia, reporting researches on different but interrelated topics. Contributors are Irene Schneider, Fritz Schulze, Imen Gallala-Arndt, Friederike Wapler, Claudia Derichs, Gunnar Duttge, Noorhaidi Hasan, Hamim Ilyas, Syafiq Hasyim, Saifuddin, Siti Ruhaini Dzuhayatin, Muhrisun Afandi.
