A Comparative Analysis of Terrorism among Muslim and Non-Muslim Countries in the Perspective of Economic Activity
Terrorism is becoming threatening and fear-provoking phenomenon for the present globe. The occurrence of terrorists’ activities is carried on without discrimination of Muslim and Non- Muslim countries. Present study investigates the trends and severity of terrorism in both Muslim and Non-Muslim countries. Forty five Muslim and one hundred thirty Non-Muslim countries are considered. Strong economic performance may reduce terrorism. The relationship of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita with terrorism is also calculated. In both types of countries, terrorist activities are evaluated through number of attacks, killings and injured persons. Besides this, the correlation is also applied to examine the association among number of attacks, killings and injured persons. Descriptive statistics evidently shows the huge losses in the form of Number of attacks, Killings and Injured persons. From 1980s to 2015, total terrorist attacks, killed persons and injured persons are 67518, 188775 and 272683 respectively in Muslim countries. In the sameway, in Non-Muslims countries, from 1980s to 2015, total terrorist attacks, killed persons and injured persons are 86914, 159386 and 167828 respectively. Number of injuries and killings are comparatively higher in Muslim countries whereas Non-Muslim countries have higher number of attacks. Panel Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique is used to examine the relationship among these variables and Per Capita GDP. Elevated correlation is found among number of attacks, killings and injured persons. However, the correlation among per capita GDP and the other variables found negative. OLS findings as well show negative relationship among per capita GDP and number of attacks, killings and injured persons. With the increase in per capita GDP, terrorism will be minimized. Improvement in economic activity can reduce terrorism outcomes particularly in developing countries.

Seeking Help in Domestic Violence Among Muslim Women in Muslim-Majority and Non-Muslim-Majority Countries: A Literature Review
Objective:
Women from different backgrounds and cultures are at risk of domestic violence. Disclosing the abusive experience and seeking help is not straightforward and easy and might be a complicated and long-term process. Muslim women, like other groups of women, may face various barriers to disclose abusive relationships and for seeking help. Some of the barriers may be common for the majority of Muslim women in different contexts, while others might be related to women’s situations and the wider society they live. To identify these barriers and make recommendations for future studies, this article reviews related papers conducted in both Muslim-majority and non-Muslim-majority countries.
Method:
A critical systematic review of the literature was conducted for identifying Muslim women’s barriers in disclosing abuse and seeking help.
Results:
Twenty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. The main identified barriers are discussed into under four themes: social context, family context, individual factors, and expectations of service providers.
Conclusions:
Although the researchers tried to investigate various barriers in seeking help, many of them have not focused on structural obstacles. Besides, in many Muslim-majority countries, the issue has not been explored. Therefore, the results of the current article will not apply to those countries. Recommendation for future research comprises more qualitative research compatible with the women’s cultures and backgrounds in different societies, focusing more on structural and cultural factors to explore and find women’s barriers to seek help.

Islam and the challenge of civilization
Criticizes readings of the Koran that fuel violent acts, and calls for exegesis of Islam's sacred texts inspired by ijtihad, or independent interpretation. Analyzes the burqa ban in France, and suggests that the future of reformed Islam lies among Muslims living in the West, where religion and positivist law co-exist.

The Concept of Coexistence in Islamic Primary Sources
The terms 'coexistence', 'partnership', 'citizenship' and 'globalization' all have a profound impact on today's decision makers and their policy formation, as well as on individuals. While these terms have been widely used all over the world, particularly in the West, in the construction of identity, they have been considered unworthy of a detailed analysis in the context of Muslim identity. Some scholars argue that Muslim-Christian relations are caught between advocates of homogenization, on the one hand, and supporters of self-affirmation on the other. While the former concept favours relativism, the latter is seen to encourage fanaticism. In addition, such scholars claim that the tension between Muslims and Christians is due to a complex history of rivalry and war, which has led to the issue of Muslims' positive coexistence being elucidated from historical and sociological points of view. Given the paucity of literature regarding a faith-based study of Muslim coexistence, this book elaborates on the theological aspect of Muslims' coexistence in non-Muslim lands, and raises a number of theological questions, arguments and counter-arguments pertinent to this issue. Is it permissible for Muslims to live in a non-Muslim country? Is it permissible for Muslims to acquire non-Muslim citizenship? What are the obstacles? How do Muslims perceive civic duties in non-Muslim countries? Are Muslims obliged to fulfil them? The book presents a number of scholarly discussions from past and contemporary sources, as well as international human rights treaties, which stress the significance of the much-overlooked factor of context.
