RELS 237: Puritans and Progressives:An Islamic Reformation?
3.00 Credits
Ursinus College
Dr. von Schlegell Terrorists who claim Islamic justification for their actions connect themselves to a puritan form of Islam, called Wahhabism or Salafism. For them, Islam has been corrupted because Muslims strayed from a literalist interpretation of scriptures of Islam. Progressive Muslims speak of universal ethical principles in the Qur'an, which lead them to a revival of the Islamic arts, democratization of society, pluralism and interfaith dialogue, gender equality, and social justice. The course also treats Islamic feminism and Muslims living in the West. Three hours per week. Four semester hours. (H, G.)

RELS 238: Women and Islam

We read traditional patriarchal accounts of "women's role in Islam." Muslim women today are re-interpreting the texts for themselves. Feminism is at the heart of the growing "Islamic Reformation." Student oral presentations augment formal lectures. Short reflection papers and a research paper. Three hours per week. Four semester hours. (H, G.)
