CMSS’s Religion, State & Society Seminars will explore the role of religion in shaping lived experiences of Muslims in the contemporary globalised world. This involves exploring the interaction between Muslims and non-Muslim in political, social, cultural and economic spheres at local, national and global levels.
Leading academics and researchers in the field will present papers on various topics, including terrorism and radicalisation, gender issues, democratisation, and secularism.
17 August Seminar by Professor Samina Yasmeen
Pakistan has been the site of Muslim militant activity since the 1980s. But the magnitude and significance of these activities have intensified in the post 9/11 world. A number of ‘jihadi groups, employ narratives that are designed to secure support for their specific interpretation of engaging in jihad. These narratives differ in terms of the identification of targets, the logic behind targeting them and the ultimate reward for jihad. The presentation will investigate the concept of narratives in jihad, discuss some of the examples of jihadi narratives, and contrast them with alternative interpretations of jihad propounded by other Pakistani scholars. This would also investigate the gender dimension in jihad: how women are included and identified in the jihadi literature and their inclusion is being contested by other Pakistani women who work in the deradicalisation space.
