State control: Heretic-Hunting -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index The book explores the complex world of Islam from the perspective of its adherents and activists in Azerbaijan. Baku, the most secular Muslim capital city, is a battlefield for the minds and souls of „ethnic Muslims.” Visiting pirs was till now the typical expression of religiosity among Azerbaijani Muslims. Sunni-Shia division was blurred. Nowadays, Shia and Sunni Muslim movements propose new distinctive identities. Foreign and local preachers took advantage of liberal religious policies of the 1990s to promote their ideas. Salafis stress the „pristine” Islam and the idea of universalism, while Shias underline rationality in their faith tradition. Turkish model of Islam is more inclusive towards local customs. Sufism, although not as powerful as before, also finds a committed audience. Finally, independent charismatic local leaders gain supporters. The book investigates how this pluralism affects both religious groups and believers. Competitive environment requires effective strategies and flexibility. In this process, the traditional dominance of Shiism is challenged by Sunni movements. Shiism, however, is not giving up and adapts its concepts and practices to contemporary contexts.Religion and society (Hague, Netherlands) ;Volume 71.IslamAzerbaijanSunnitesRelationsShīʻahShīʻahRelationsSunnitesIslamic modernismAzerbaijanIslamic fundamentalismAzerbaijanAzerbaijan.Sociology of Islam.post-Soviet.religious studies.IslamSunnitesRelationsShīʻah.ShīʻahRelationsSunnites.Islamic modernismIslamic fundamentalism297.094754/09051REL037000REL037010LIT008000bisacshWiktor-Mach Dobrosława1490236MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794813503321Religious revival and secularism in post-Soviet Azerbaijan3711527UNINA01463nam 2200409 a 450 991069301400332120230902161949.0(CKB)5470000002359369(OCoLC)642318604(EXLCZ)99547000000235936920100618d2008 ua 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTips for teens[electronic resource] the truth about methamphetamineRev. in 2008.[Rockville, Md.] :U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention,2008.1 online resource (2 unnumbered pages)Title from PDF title screen (SAMSHA, viewed June 17, 2010).Tips for teens MethamphetamineMethamphetamine abuseUnited StatesPreventionTeenagersDrug useUnited StatesPreventionSubstance abuseUnited StatesPreventionMethamphetamine.Methamphetamine abusePrevention.TeenagersDrug usePrevention.Substance abusePrevention.Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (U.S.)GPOGPOBOOK9910693014003321Tips for teens3321089UNINA
