  • Muslimanska identiteta v času globalizacije
    Zalta, Anja
    The article deals with Muslim identity in times of globalisation and tries to answer the following questions: in which way does globalisation affect the reshaping of religious identity (Muslim ... identity, in our case); what is the meaning of identity of resistance (that which religious fundamentalism, cultural nationalism and other defence reactions stem from); what are the consequences of the shift from the traditional to a modern society and in which way do these consequences shape the varied Muslim identities. The ideological consequences of this shift (from the traditional to the modern) and the confrontation with the West can be summarised as: apologetic modernism, which claims that a revival of Islam is only possible through a complete assimilation of modern norms, which in reverse equals westernisation,and Islamic reforms (Salafism), which advocates the return to the 'original' Islam, i.e. the Islam of the early generations. The article presents in detail the ideological orientations of the Muslims.
