Religious Education is an important part of a nation's political culture, and Indonesia is no exception. Since independence, Sukarno, Indonesia's first president, insisted that the role of Islamic education was not only character-building but also nation-building. Islamic religious education is expected to have a stake in building the character of the nation and to participate in actualizing the promises of independence. The objective of Islamic education in Indonesia is not only to create a religious person, but also making a good citizen.The values of piety assume that a person will be a good citizen: tolerant, democratic and respectful of others. However, practically, piety does not guarantee that a person is able to uphold such values of citizenship. Today, religious radicalism which leads to violent behavior and labelling the other as unbeliever (takfīrīyah) is booming in the community. Ironically, the radical ideology infiltrates education sector. In Jombang, in March 2015, the Ansor Youth Movement (Gerakan Pemuda Ansor) associated with Nahdlatul Ulama found radical ideology on senior high school worksheets which called for killing people deemed idolatrous; the worksheet reads: "only Allah can and should be worshipped, and those who worship anything besides Allah have become idolatrous and should be killed." As it turned out, this was not only in Jombang; the same materials can be found in Jakarta, Depok and Bandung.DOI:10.15408/sdi.v23i3.4425

PurposeThis study aims to help quality professionals in following a precise framework that maintains a company's performance during health pandemics. In many companies, all quality methods seem to produce performance improvement at different levels, but lean management and kaizen were superior in preparing manufacturing companies to have high readiness levels when faced with a health pandemic.Design/methodology/approachWhich quality method can help businesses in performing well during a health pandemic? In order to answer this question and be able to provide specific recommendations toward performing well in all future health pandemics, 500 manufacturing companies were selected and surveyed. The selected companies are known to use at least one quality method such as lean management, ISO 9001, European foundation for quality management (EFQM) and Six Sigma.FindingsEFQM comes second, then Six Sigma and ISO 9001. Lean creates a healthy workplace and enhances worker's health and well-being. This research helps quality professionals in following a precise framework that maintains performance during health pandemics. Whether the company uses lean or other quality methods, the framework helps in achieving pandemic readiness status. The framework is implemented in a company that does not currently use lean. Implementation resulted in significant improvement in pandemic preparedness, corporate performance and employee well-being.Originality/valueAfter the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, all companies should start thinking of creating a workplace that functions well during pandemics. To do that, companies should start including sanitation and health pandemic preparedness as part of their performance measurements. Using lean management and kaizen helps organizations to create a healthy workplace; clean and equipped with smaller number of workers. If organizations choose to use other quality methods, it is okay, but they should enhance these methods with lean tools such as elimination of the seven wastes, gemba, 5S and visual management.

"This book explores the wave of violent radicalization in post-2011 Egypt and argues that it is the result of unrelenting tension between aspirations, grievances, emotions, meanings, and societal beliefs. [The author] examines the wave of violence that broke out in Egypt in the aftermath of the 2013 military takeover against the country's first democratically elected president. Abdallah Hendawy sheds light on stories of several political activists who abandoned their commitment to nonviolence and took up arms against the state. Through multiple interviews, ethnographic observations, field work, and qualitative data analysis, Hendawy challenges the dominant theoretical paradigms on radicalization that often attribute this complex phenomenon to ideological or religious beliefs. Hendawy thoroughly examines the tumultuous events that followed the 2013 military takeover and the journey of several radicalized individuals. He demonstrates how and why select Egyptian activists turned to violent tactics in the course of their political engagement."--

Christen und Muslime begegnen sich vielerorts, im Stadtteil, Kindergarten, bei der Arbeit. Was verbindet sie, was trennt? Wie gelingt ein friedliches Zusammenleben? Wie kann die je eigene Position ins Gespräch gebracht werden, ohne die andere abzuwerten? Der christlich-islamischen Dialog formuliert Antworten auf diese Fragen und erprobt sie in der Praxis. Die Grundlagen, die vielfältigen Themen und Orte für diesen Dialog sowie die Erfahrungen der Akteure stellt das Handbuch erstmals systematisch zusammen.
