From a diversity of viewpoints, the book addresses: the historical roots of Islamic philanthropy in religious traditions and geopolitical movements; the interactions of the Gulf charities with "Western" relief and development institutions - now under pressure owing to budgetary constraints; numerous case studies from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia; the impact of violent extremism on the sector, with the legal repercussions that have followed - especially in the USA; the recent history of attempts to alleviate the obstacles faced by bona fide Islamic charities, whose absence from major conflict zones now leaves a vacuum for extremist groups to penetrate; the prospects for a less politicized Islamic charity sector when the so-called "war on terror" eventually loses its salience. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Charities|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85022665|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 0 Islam|xCharities.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85068395 650 0 Islam and social problems|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85068425|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 0 Islam|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008104959|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 7 Charities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/852404 650 7 Islam|xCharities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 979780 650 7 Islam and social problems.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/979888 650 7 Islam|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /979847 651 7 Persian Gulf Region.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244349 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Benthall, Jonathan,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n50007411|eeditor. 700 1 Lacey, Robert,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n50041318|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBenthall, Jonathan|tGulf Charities and Islamic Philanthropy in the Age of Terror and Beyond |dBerlin : Gerlach Press,c2015|z9783940924322 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=975981|zOnline eBook.
