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.

Title: Identity, education and belonging : Arab and Muslim youth in contemporary Australia.
Series: (Islamic studies series)
Author(s): Mansouri, F. | Wood, S. P. |
Published: Carlton Vic : Melbourne University Publishing : 2008
ISBN: 9780522856774 (pbk) |0522856772 (pbk)
Abstract: Identity, education and belonging examines the social and educational experiences of Arab and Muslim Australian youth against a wider political backdrop. Arab and Muslim Australian youth have long faced considerable social obstacles in their journey towards full integration, but as the discourse of insecurity surrounding these conflicts intensifies, so too do the difficulties they face in Australian society. Events such as the war in Iraq, Australia's presence in Afghanistan and perceptions of Iran as a nuclear threat together with domestic events such as the Cronulla riots place Arabs and Muslims at the centre of global instability and exacerbate feelings of tension and anxiety.

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.
