    Abortion Laws in Muslim Countries: Modern Reconfiguration of Pre-modern Logic.Amr Osman - 2022 - Muslim World Journal of Human Rights 19 (1):19-52.
    In most countries where Islam is acknowledged as a, or the, source of legislation, abortion is permitted under certain conditions and at certain stages of pregnancy. This article examines some of these laws and argue that they represent a continuation of the logic that governed the views of pre-modern Muslim jurists on abortion, that is, harm aversion. However, these laws also add a ‘modernist’ twist to that logic – rather than repealing that logic altogether, modernist views on ‘rights’ and the (...)

    Islam and Human Rights: A 50 Year Retrospective.Emran Qureshi & Nader Hashemi - 2022 - Muslim World Journal of Human Rights 19 (1):1-18.
    The debate on Islam and human rights is roughly 50 years old. During this time a vast literature has been produced analyzing the relationship between the religion of Islam, Muslims societies and international human rights norms. What have we learned during this time that can further an understanding of this topic among students, scholars and members of the general public? What analytical framework is optimal? Is the crisis of human rights in Muslims societies a function of internal conditions, external factors (...)

    Living with Absence, Missing Migrants and the Red Cross and Red Crescent’s Restoring Family Links Program.Mostafa Shalaby & Sefa Secen - 2022 - Muslim World Journal of Human Rights 19 (1):129-141.
    The chaos and confusion that accompany war, disaster, and international migration separate families when they need each other most. The Red Cross and Red Crescent join the search across international borders, offering a unique service that allows families to reconnect. This paper examines the role of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and specifically their Restoring Family Links (RFL) program in the search for missing migrants. Based on interviews with the RFL program’s officers and those individuals who have been reconnected (...)

  5. Human Rights at the Time of a Global Pandemic: The Case of Muslim Tatars.Renat Shaykhutdinov - 2022 - Muslim World Journal of Human Rights 19 (1):95-128.
    How are the human rights pertaining to the freedom of conscience/religion, health, and distinct culture intersect in the context of a global pandemic in the Muslim-minority areas? How do Russia’s Muslims make sense of the challenges to those rights caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic? In this paper, I focus on diverse Muslim Tatar communities, primarily of the Middle Volga region, who have recently witnessed numerous political and socioeconomic challenges infringing on their human rights. Attending on the period of (...)

    Arguing against Political and Religious Discriminations: Critical Discourse Analysis of Indonesian Ahmadiyya.Andi Syurganda, Afifuddin Afifuddin, Iskandar Iskandar, Sahril Nur, Iskandar Abdul Samad & Andi Muhammad Irawan - 2022 - Muslim World Journal of Human Rights 19 (1):53-76.
    This article examines resistance discourses created and disseminated by a religious minority in Indonesia called Gerakan Ahmadiyah Indonesia (GAI) to counter any negative portrayals and religious-based discriminations. Ahmadiyah is a self-defined sect of Islam that has been the target of physical attacks and discursive discrimination in Indonesia. This analysis focuses on identifying discourse topics raised and strategies employed by one of the Ahmadiyya groups in the country called GAI to reveal their resistance and defend their ‘Islamic’ faith. Various texts produced (...)
