Muslim Diaspora dalam Isu Identitas, Gender, dan Terorisme
Abstract: The word Diaspora
has been understood as the dissemination of certain group of people -notably
the Jewish and Chinese- to other country or land while keeping in touch
culturally with the country of their origin. This paper discusses this notion
of Diaspora in the case of Muslims by relating it to the problems of identity,
gender and terrorism. The paper asks whether Muslim migration to other
countries is a form of shame or honor both for Muslims themselves and for the
country of their destination. The three key issues that we raise will be used
as both indicators and framework within which the notion of Muslim self-esteem
is investigated. The underlining view that highlights the whole argument of the
paper is that a great majority of Muslims in Diaspora has not been able to
associate culturally with the country of destination, hence creating a tension
with the local culture.
