SUDAN-RELIGION: Drawing The Line Between Islam and Ethnicity
By Nhial Bol
KHARTOUM, APR 3 (IPS) - Sheikh Mohamed Beshir Osmani from the West African state of Benin is always clean-shaven, dons a traditional West African hat and wears colourful attire.
However, many here will remember him not for his garb or his gentle smile, but as the man who almost split the third annual meeting of 'The Popular Arab and Islamic Conference' (PAIC) - which ended here on Sunday - along racial lines.
The problem began on Friday when the Sheikh led a campaign to delete the word 'Arab' from the name of the PAIC, an or ganisation Sudan's spiritual leader Dr. Hassan Abdalla al Turabi helped to form in 1991 to defend the interests of Musli ms in the post-Cold War era.
''I made it clear to Dr Hassan Abdalla al Turabi, the secretary-general of the organisation, that the word Arab must be removed because it will create racism and discrimination among the Muslim people,'' Sheikh Osmani told IPS.
Arabs account for fewer than one-fifth of all Muslims, more than half of whom live in Asia.
Osmani argued that ''Arab and Islam must be separated'' in the PAIC's name because as ''an African and a Muslim'' he would otherwise not fit into the organisation.
''It will also be rejected by my people,'' he said, referring to the Muslims in Benin, who constitute 55 percent of t he country's 4.5 million people.
The proposal was backed by other non-Arab delegates from Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Kenya, Eritrea, Asia, Europe and North America.
But delegates from the mainly Arabic-speaking countries such as Iraq, Egypt, Mauritania and Libya objected to the cha nge, describing it as unneccessary, especially at a time when the Islamic world is facing a serious challenge from the w est.
There was commotion and haggling over the proposal. Every delegate was shouting in the hall, calling for the chairman either to remove the word or retain it.
Some delegates from Arab countries, who walked out of the hall after the majority of delegates voted for the proposed name change, refused to talk to journalists whereas advocates of the change were happy to explain their stance.
Hakbar Mohamed, who is the vice president of the Nation of Islam, said ''as an American citizen, I would not like to be called an Arab because I am a Muslim.''
But, to the chagrin of the non-Arab delegates, PAIC secretary- general al Turabi shelved the idea to change the name u ntil next year, without explaining the reasons for his move.
Insiders say the PAIC boss, a Sudanese, has come under tremendous pressure from the Arab lobby.
Islam was first preached by the Prophet Mohammed in Arabia in the 7th century AD to a small group of followers before spreading rapidly through the Middle East to Africa, Europe, the Indian subcontinent, the Malay Peninsula, and China. (end/ips/nb/mn/kb/95)
Subject: Re: shahanshahi year
Dear Robin --
2537 Shahanshahi = 1357 Hijri-i shamsi = 1978-1979 Miladi
Introduced with the hooplah surrounding the coronation of the Shah in Persepolis, this system supposedly became obsolete with the Iranian revolution. Die-hard monarchists, however, continue to use it in exile.
The Hijri-Shamsi year, by the way, was another Pahlavi-era innovation, made "official" in Iran as of 31 March 1925 (though it had some historical precedent). Unlike the Shahanshahi calendar, it has been retained by the new regime. To further confound librarians, lunar Hijri dates have continued to be used in Iran -unmarked as such- on the t.p. of some works (especially religious tomes) making it hard to know in some cases whether a book was published in the 1920s or in the 1960s.
Hope that helps,
Andras

Reception
New technologies of information and communications are transforming Arab society. The microchip, the satellite dish, the fax machine, and the Internet are already exerting profound influences on the culture, economy, and political order of the region. Older ones -- notably the print media -- are also undergoing major change. New networks of social communication are developing and old ones are taking on new importance.
Everyone concerned with the information "explosion" in the Middle East will benefit from this Symposium: telecommunications and computer companies; the news media; government officials; the diplomatic community; and students of contemporary Middle East society.
Distinguished participants will include: Kamal Abu Deeb (Arabic Literature, University of London); Kamal Abu Al-Magd (Law faculty, Cairo University); Hussein Amin (TV journalism, American University in Cairo); Jon Anderson (anthropologist, The Catholic University of America); Mohamed Al- Badrawi (Arabica); Halim Barakat (sociologist, Georgetown University); Brenda Bickett (Arabic materials specialist, Georgetown University); Elizabeth Bouri (information specialist, University of Texas, Austin); Raphael Calis (journalist, UPI); Fedwa Malti-Douglas and Allen Douglas (cultural historians, Indiana University); Evelyn Early (anthropologist, USIA); Dale Eickelman (anthropologist, Dartmouth College); Aziz Fahmy (Journalist, MBC); Mamoun Fandy (political scientist, Mt.

Subject: New book - YEZIDISM by P. Kreyenbroek
Dear friends,
I am happy to announce the imminent appearance of the following new book on the Yezidis:
Philip G. Kreyenbroek. Yezidism: Its Background, Observances and Textual Tradition (Queenston, Ontario : The Edwin Mellen Press, 1995), xviii + 349 pp, ISBN 0-7734-9004-3. $99.95* / 49.95 Pound sterling*
The Yezidi faith has fascinated and tantalized Western scholars since the mid-nineteenth century, but actual knowledge of the Yezidi tradition has remained limited. Recently a substantial corpus of Yezidi sacred hymns has come to light, hymns which had always been transmitted orally, and did not exist in written form until the late 1970s. These texts offered a more detailed insight into the beliefs, observances, and background of the faith. The first half of this volume re-examines the findings of earlier works on Yezidism in the light of the author's field-work with the Yezidi community of Iraqi Kurdistan, and provides novel insights into the history of the religions of Iranian peoples. The second part consists of texts and translations of nineteen Yezidi hymns and other religious texts, with a commentary on points of philological and theological interest.
The author, Dr. Philip Kreyenbroek, received his PhD at Leiden University. He is the Reader in Modern Iranian Languages at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London; the founder of the Society for Iranian Oral Studies; and Secretary, The Royal Asiatic Society.
Dr. Kreyenbroek has another book forthcoming, together with Christine Allison: Kurdish Culture and Identity (London: ZED Books, 1995) ca. 200 p. This is slated to appear in autumn 1995.

Subject: Muslim Brothers II *Ikhwan al-Muslimin*
>From: Rudi.Matthee@MVS.UDEL.EDU
>Date: Thu, 13 Apr 95 16:19 EDT
>Dear Mr Houissa,
>Second time: I've been asked to write an entry for the Encyclopdia Iranica on the relations between teh Iranian groups Fida'iyan-i Islam and the Egyptian Ikhwan. I've gathered pretty much all available information from the Persian material, but haven't found much in Arabic. Aside from general material--of which I suspect there isn't very much in regular bookform--I would be interested in the periodical press. I'm referring for example to the existence of a branch of the Ikhwan in Jordan and the fact that the Iranian sympathizers with the Ikhwan soured on them when the Jordanian branch endorsed the expulsion of the palestinians by King Husayn in Sept. 1970. Again, I haven't found any literature on this, though Iranian informants tell me this was teh case. finally, when Khumaini gave an anti-Sunni speech in Feb. 1979, just having returned to Iran, the Ikhwan in Egypt and elsewhere withdrew their initial enthusiasm for the revolution and its leader. Once again, I only have oral information, with the observation that the relatively open Arabic press in Kuwait would have reported on this. I haven't been able to locate the one journal that I thought might have reported on this, al-mujtama`, but maybe there are other sources that I'm not aware of. would you be able to come up with anything?
Thanks.
