Title: Indonesian students in Egypt and Turkey.

Abstract: The Middle East has always played an important role in shaping Islamic thought, practice, and activism in Indonesia. This begs the question of what impact the last five years of turmoil in the Middle East has had in Indonesia. Extensive face-to-face interviews with Indonesian students from mainstream backgrounds in Egypt and Turkey suggest that while the students have both observed and absorbed recent events in the region, they saw these events as having only limited relevance to the situation in their home country. Students saw significant cultural, religious and political differences between Egypt and Turkey and Indonesia that influenced their reading of events in the former countries. None of the students interviewed expressed support for Islamic State or its Caliphate, although a significant number saw the rise of Islamic State as a US conspiracy. There was no sense that the travails of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt at the hands of the military there was causing any reassessment of the benefits of democratic activism, even for Indonesian Islamists — although many students expressed a largely instrumentalist view of democracy. A sizeable number of Indonesian students backed the military coup against the elected president from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Indeed, despite the fact that many of the students interviewed were religious students, religion was only one criterion by which they judged political events. [Executive summary]

Title: The role and importance of Islamic studies and faith in community Islamic schools in Australia : a case study of Adelaide (SA) and Darwin (NT).
Author(s): Diallo, Ibrahima |
Published: Magill S Aust : University of South Australia. Research Centre for Languages and Cultures : October 2016
Abstract: This case study reports on the role and importance of Islamic studies and faith in community Islamic schools in Adelaide and Darwin. Islamic studies are defined here as studying the Quran (developing Qur’anic literacy) as well as learning the Arabic language. Islamic community schools in Australia, referred to as heritage schools in North America and as complementary or supplementary schools in the United Kingdom, are generally run independently by the Muslim communities or jointly with a local mosque or with Islamic foundations or cultural centres. This report on the Islamic community schools is divided into three main sections. The first provides an overview and the aim of the study; the second describes the sociodemographic and linguistic background of the participants; and the third and final section discusses the major findings.

Title: Engaging with diversity : a case study of the intercultural experiences of Muslim and non-Muslim students in an Australian school.
Author(s): Scarino, Angela | Liddicoat, Anthony J. | O'Neill, Fiona | University of South Australia. International Centre for Muslim and Non-Muslim Understanding (MnM Centre)
Published: [Adelaide] : University of South Australia. International Centre for Muslim and Non-Muslim Understanding (MnM Centre) : 2015
Abstract: Developed countries such as Australia are facing an unprecedented increase in the level of linguistic and cultural diversity due to human mobility and as a result people are now increasingly being called on to interact across and between languages and cultures. This is relevant in the context of educational settings, where the experience of students and the broader educational community plays a significant role in developing learners’ capabilities to navigate diversity and communicate interculturally. In the past decade the presence of students of Muslim faith has increased in many schools in Australia. While some studies have highlighted the negative experiences of Muslim students in Australian educational settings, little is known about how both Muslim and non-Muslim students and the educational community reflect on and manage their experiences of interaction. This case study has explored how Muslim and non-Muslim students, school leadership, counsellors, teachers and parents reflect on, interpret and manage the experience of engagement and exchange in the context of a high school (Years 8 to 12) in South Australia.

Abstract: After more than a decade, Indonesia’s transition to democracy is still challenged by a great number of issues. Many have expressed doubts that Indonesia will ever complete its transition and become a truly democratic country. Clean governance seems far from reality because of rampant corruption, ineffective bureaucratic systems, and weak legal enforcement. Political leaders have shown a lack of moral commitment, being more interested in winning political support from elite and special interest groups. Indonesian authorities have also shown an inability to protect the rights of citizens to equal access to economy, education, freedom and justice. Although the Yudhoyono administration claims the Indonesian economy is progressing, in reality, most people find life is becoming more difficult. Food prices are increasing, as is the cost of education. [Introduction, ed]

Title: Us and them : Muslim-Christian relations and cultural harmony in Australia.
Author(s): Ata, Abe W. | Furlong, Mark | Morrison, Glenn | Windle, Joel |
Published: Bowen Hills Qld : Australian Academic Press : 2009
ISBN: 9781921513190
Abstract: Cross-cultural research provides exceptional insights into the hopes and fears of dealing with people different to ourselves. In Australia, such research suggests that Australian Muslims have surpassed Asians as one of the country's most marginalised religious and ethnic groups. Muslims and people from the Middle East are thought to be unable to fit into Australia, with more than 50% of Australians preferring their relatives did not to marry into a Muslim family. Yet this statistic masks diverse interpretations of interfaith relations and cultural harmony present across Australia today. In 12 essays this book offers truths about interfaith relations as they are believed and expressed by Muslim and non-Muslim Australians. The essays are interdisciplinary and varied in topic, and seek to challenge the images of Islam held by both xenophobic Westerners and extremist Muslims. Drawn from a variety of research projects over past years, including results from a national survey on attitudes towards Islam and Muslims among Australian secondary students, they also raise thematic questions, such as: Will any dialogue lead to a rapprochement between the Muslim and mainstream communities? What is Christian-Muslim diversity? Why does it matter? Can we really learn how to manage diversity in the workplace? Can the Shari'a law coexist with the Australian legal system on issues including polygamy, marital status and dress? This book is essential reading for all students - secondary through to tertiary and postgraduate - requiring an introduction to Christian Muslim relations and attitudes in Australia.

Abstract: This book addresses how the educational community in various nations is coming to grips with increased societal hostility towards Islam as a belief system and towards their Muslim populations. It examines the issue of Islamophobia, or fear of Islam, from a variety of perspectives. The background and academic articles help to contextualise this phenomenon, but the main thrust of the book, is on educational practice and how schools, teachers, and students are coping with the stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination that are building up against Islam and its followers. Contributors come from the US, UK, Netherlands. Austria, Germany. Italy, Australia and Israel. This book will appeal to both academic readers seeking a theoretical and historical approach to the issue, and also to teachers and all those who are looking for methods to address the Islamophobia they encounter in their classrooms.

Abstract: The last several hundred years of interaction between the West and the Islamic world have been marked by misunderstandings and distortions. Religion, trade, the protection of Western resources and power, the survival of royal families, the immense oil wealth of the Middle East, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and globalisation all serve to unite as well as divide. The essays in this book examine how such educational institutions as schools and the media have shaped Western views of Islam. [Book jacket, ed]

Title: Meeting needs of Muslim students in the Australian education system.
Author(s): Abdel-Halim, A. |
Published: Northmead NSW : Aimasry Publications : 1989
ISBN: 0731673549
Abstract: To Muslim families, the needs of the Muslim child at school are most important and there are some issues which have caused grave concern amongst parents, Muslim educators, youth workers and community leaders. Some of these are role conflicts; language; coeducation; mass media; sex education and personal development programs; uniform; libraries; teachers' attitudes and lack of sensitive handling of controversial issues; food in school canteens and functions; extracurricular activities; and attitudes to Islamic religious observances. This research aims to spell out some of the problems and certain forms of discrimination that Muslim students experience in the Australian schools system. It will also attempt to find workable, practical and just solutions to these problems in the context of a multiracial, multilingual and multireligious Australia.
