    John Bowen ethnography, Muslims through Discourse, takes a deep look at the Islam Religion in the Gayo highlands located in Indonesia. Although he desires to investigate the social structure and history, through his field work he examines the local forms of Islam. Bowen constructs two categories to define the ideologies of Islam represented, which are traditionalist (stemming from rural communities) and modernist (rooted in urban society). Each have distinctive histories that influence and shape their values. Through analyzing the Gayo people’s debates about religious practices, he highlights the importance of religious discourse and language instead of emphasizing Geertz dramaturgical theory.…

    Fred Donner’s Muhammad and the Believers: at the Origins of Islam presents itself as an interpretation of early Islamic history geared towards “nonspecialists” that attempts to take on a new paradigm of thought not conventionally held among his fellow historians. He prefaces his primary thesis with the context of paradigms of thought that were once held or were presently held at the time of the writing of his book. From the start, Donner asserts his belief in Islam’s beginnings taking root in a religious movement - not a “social, economic, or nativist” (pg xvii) movement. Through Donner’s lense, viewers are allowed a holistic overview of all events relevant to the Islamic movement as well as his thesis.…

    These days it is no longer a surprise to hear discussions and debates regarding to the growing strength of Islamist movements and lives of Muslim women living in the Middle East and south Asia. We see, from time to time, contradictions between a western feminist view of Muslim women as a mistreated, oppressed, and objectified beings, while Muslims themselves see it as a positive improvement for women compared to the times in pre-Islamic era. In some cases, this holds true, but as we saw in the readings these changes doesn`t necessarily brought fortune as it claims to be. This religion’s understanding of women and gender can be described as quite ambiguous as anyone can imagine.…

Within his discussion and defense of the Muslim conception of prophethood, he is primarily occupied with the philosophical problems that the philosophers of his day had presented him with, and their erroneous views about prophethood that resulted from their misunderstandings.…
