Title: | Root causes of Western anti-islamic antagonism : Judaism, Christianity and the secular | Authors: | Sahin, Omer Kemal | Subject: | Islamophobia Islam -- Comments and critics Islam -- Relations -- Judaism Islam -- Relations -- Christianity |
Year: | 2019 | Publisher: | Kuala Lumpur : International Institute of Islamic Civilisation and Malay World, International Islamic University Malaysia, 2019 | Abstract in English: | This research seeks to examine the root causes of Western anti-Islamic antagonism in the three main realms of the West, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and the secular. The prime question is what exact causes motivate Jewish, Christian and secular subjects within the West to anti-Islamic narratives, attitudes and actions. The existing literature mainly concentrates on consequences and manifestations of the phenomenon without analysing its root causes. The findings of this thesis indicate that Jewish anti-Islamic antagonism is observed to stem from the ethno-centric self-perception and eschatological agenda of Judaism; Christian anti-Islamic antagonism from the ontological instability and eschatological scenarios of Christianity; and secular anti-Islamic antagonism from the ideals of the secular to imagine a paradigm, society and world order free of religion. As a conceptual-analytical research, the thesis contains analyses of present material including scriptures, historical and more recent monographs, essays, articles, seminars, speeches, documentaries, newspapers, online sources and other relevant materials in numerous Western and Islamicate languages obtained from various libraries and online sources. Root Causes of Western Anti-Islamic Antagonism expects to establish the theological-philosophical basis for tackling the problem of anti-Islamism, as well as conducting further studies about anti-Islamic phenomena. | Degree Level: | Doctoral | Call Number: | t BPD 724 I8 S24 2019 | Kullliyah: | Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws | Programme: | Doctor of Philosophy (Islamic Thought and Civilization) | URI: | http://studentrepo.iium.edu.my/handle/123456789/9581 | URL: | https://lib.iium.edu.my/mom/services/mom/document/getFile/zTn1CCVbu4XJ0qiY7g8nbGrkkhLSUhIP20200804085442473 |
