Islamism is a concept that has occupied a central place in the political and intellectual life of the Muslim World since the 1860s. With different actors and varying methodologies and objectives, Islamism as a political movement has been practiced in various formations. This multiplicity has led to several conflicts among different Islamist actors. The conflict between Abdulhamid II and the Ottoman Islamist intellectuals is one of the central conflicts in Islamist political thought. Although both sides were Islamist, this commonality did not lead to cooperation among these actors. This thesis explores the commonalities and divergences between the Islamism of Abdulhamid and that of the intellectuals, through the examination of the regional and international conditions, actors, and discourse of each Islamist group. The last part of the thesis analyzes what changed in the context of Islamism from the time of the Ottoman Empire to the post-Ottoman Middle East.

Secession and fragmentation in tevhidi islamic communities: believing subject vs. believing community Çapık, Kenan; Yıldırım, Erdoğan; Department of Sociology (2014) This thesis aims to descriptively analyze islamist communities/NGO’s in Ankara with respect to how they construct their religious identity and we-and-others dichotomy and to understand the theoretical and practical reasons of secession and fragmentation among islamist groups and NGO’s which have been widespread since the blossoming of Islamism in Turkey. On the background I will be questioning whether Islamism intrinsically carries an exclusionist and dichotomist discourse. The study also aims to shed light...

Becoming european, becoming enemy: mosque conflicts and finding a permanent place for ıslam in Europe Sarıkuzu, Hande; Yeğenoğlu, Meyda; Department of Sociology (2011) This thesis aims to problematize the cosmopolitan-spirited quest for a proper and permanent place for Islam and Muslim immigrants in Europe today, and to claim that the efforts to establish a European Islam cannot be thought in isolation from the efforts to consolidate a European identity. Since “Europeanizing” Islam is a process of inserting it into the politically acceptable formations of the secular in the European public sphere, not only does this project fail to offer a genuine alternative framework fo...

The Factors for the rise of political Islam: Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt Pehlivan, Arife; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of Middle East Studies (2013) This thesis analyzes the factors that caused the rise of political Islam by looking at the emergence and evolution of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. This thesis takes the view that rather than the nature of Islam, political Islam indeed, is a modern phenomenon that emerged as a reaction to the historical and contextual political and socio-economic factors that have been affecting the Muslim world. Islamists are opposing to the deficiencies of contemporary world order by using different tools and tactics from ...
