Dossier 26: Des alliances difficiles: S’engager sur le champ de mines des politiques d’identité et de solidarité
Southall Black Sisters (SBS) est un collectif de femmes sud-asiatiques.1 Nous gérons un centre de conseil, de ressources et de campagne pour les femmes de Southall, une zone de l’Ouest de Londres à forte population sud-asiatique. En comparaison avec beaucoup d’autres communautés asiatiques de ce pays, Southall est hétérogène et possède un esprit cosmopolite. Toutes les religions et tous les groupes ethniques du sous-continent indien y sont présents, même si le groupe ethnique et la religion Sikh du Pendjab sont dominants.
Dossier 27: Islamic law and Muslim minorities
Presently, more than one third of the world’s Muslims are living as minorities in non-Muslim countries, a fact which has posed challenges not only for the host countries but also for the Muslims themselves. Most Muslims perceive Muslim minorities as an integral part of the larger Muslim community, umma. Many insist that Muslims must be governed by Islamic law, often that of the country of origin. Home countries are expected to offer human, political, and financial resources in order for the minorities to live Islamically.

International: Women bombers break new ground
The majority of suicide bombers have been young men. However, some of the most lethal exponents of suicide bombing have been neither male nor Muslim. Women involved in a series of attacks are beginning to undermine this stereotype.
