Muslim world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Israel is very unpopular in the Muslim world, because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the way that the state of Israel came into being in 1948 which many Arabs thought was unfair.
When believers in Islam cooperate as Muslims, they are known as the "ummah", which means "all of the believers".
Some Muslims see this as a fight against Judaism or Jews, but not all.

The Tat are an Iranian ethnic group from the Caucasus.

History of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, a schoolteacher, to promote a social renewal based on an Islamic ethos of altruism and civic duty, in opposition to political and social injustice and to British imperial rule.
This article refers to the Egyptian organisation called the Muslim Brotherhood; for other organisations that use the same name, see the Muslim Brotherhood article.
The Brotherhood supported the military coup that overthrew the monarchy in 1952, but the junta, though popular at first, was unwilling to share power or lift martial law; it quickly lost its public support, and began to provoke confrontations with the Brotherhood.

It also had a significant effect on the upcoming elections in Spain, due in part to the ruling government's insistence that the ETA was the prime suspect in the bombings, even as the evidence of Muslim extremist terrorism rapidly emerged from the police investigation and the press.
During the time of Arab occupation, most of the Iberian peninsula was in relative peace, with large populations of Jews, Christians and Muslims living in close quarters, and at its peak some non-Muslims were apppointed to high offices.
A 1499 Muslim uprising was crushed and was followed by the first of the expulsions of Muslims, in 1502, from Isabel's and Ferdinand's new, combined, Christian kingdom.

The Legacy of Al-Andalus: Muslim Spain

Another theory for the occupation by the Arab Muslims of Spain is that because of their persecution, the Jews called upon their contacts in North Africa, who in turn encouraged the able Arabs to capture Spain.
Muslims prevailed in Al-Andalus because they had forgotten their Arabness or "Arabism." They were aware that they were Muslims only, and not divided by race, or nationality.
Muslims also established rule in parts of France, but they were soon defeated by Charles Martel in 756, in which remains today one of the greatest victories for Christian Europe for bringing a halt to Islam's expansion.

Islam :: A rare look at secretive Brotherhood in America

Many Muslims believe that the Brotherhood is a noble international movement that supports the true teachings of Islam and unwaveringly defends Muslims who have come under attack around the world, from Chechens to Palestinians to Iraqis.
Not all Arabs are Muslims, and not all Muslims are Arabs.
A U.S. chapter of the Brotherhood, documents and interviews show, was formed in the early 1960s after hundreds of young Muslims came to the U.S. to study, particularly at large Midwestern universities, such as Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

Spain: History

The Mudéjares, as the Muslims in reconquered Spain were called, were not immediately expelled, but after an uprising they were forcibly converted (1502) to Christianity.
Alliances between Muslim and Christian princes were not rare, and the Christian reconquest was a spasmodic, not a continuous, process.
However, the states of Christian Spain were also frequently engaged in bloody rivalry, and the Christian kings were in almost continuous conflict with the powerful nobles.

Chapter One: Christian Martyrs in Muslim Spain

Muslim jurists may have borrowed this restriction from the Byzantine law books which frowned on the intermarriage of Christians and Jews.
The fact that the Christian kingdoms of northern Spain were asserting themselves politically at the expense of the Cordoban emirate only served to make the Muslim rulers more suspicious of Christian dissent in their own backyard.

Issue of Democratization Enlivens Muslim World’s Political Discourse

There is a growing sentiment in the Muslim world that their political systems have reached a deadend and that the only way out is some form of democratization.
The intellectual and political life in most Muslim countries was dominated either by Marxist or other advocates of leftist totalitarianism or conservative religious forces.

In addition, the exposure to "Muslim traders, during the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries did not reveal any dramatic process of Islamization, providing that the trade factor was not the important one."5 This theory suggests that the Muslim traders had a political agenda, although, the political theory applies more to the conversion of local rulers.

Igorot and moro National Reemergence: The Fabricated Philippine State.

Muslim countries individually, as well as the OIC, should exert diplomatic pressure on Washington emphasizing that national self-determination for the Igorots and the Moros is consistent with America's commitment to national self- determination for Tibet and the Baltic states.
On June 9, 1921, fifty-seven Muslim leaders met in Sulu and signed a petition which was addressed to Manila and Washington, D.C. After enumerating numerous acts of Filipino discrimination against Moros, the signatories formally requested that the Sulu archipelago be separated from the Philippines and annexed to the United States.
Attempts to form a separate, colonial administration for the Muslim minority in the Philippines, the Moros, was not supported by the churches.

Saudi Aramco World : The Other 1492

Nevertheless, it was back in the Arab and Muslim worlds that Andalusian culture and society had their greatest impact, even before 1492.
The society they developed was perhaps uniquely tolerant and heterogeneous, with Arab and Berber immigrants living side-by-side with Spanish Muslims, Christians and Jews.
The event was the fall of the Muslim city of Granada (Gharna-tah in Arabic), on the second day of 1492, to the forces of the Catholic kings of Castile, ending nearly eight centuries of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula and closing one of the most turbulent and glorious chapters in Islamic history.

The Brotherhood announced that it will be pressing for political reforms such as lifting the emergency law, demanding general freedoms and the freedom to form political parties.
