Note sur l'espace public salafi en Jordanie

Located at the crossroads of the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula, Jordan occupies a special place in Islamic geography, particularly for the Salafi movement. Although Jordan is somewhat neglected in studies of the salafiyya, in the past thirty years the country has produced almost as many Salafi scholars - of all trends - as Saudi Arabia. However, it is Saudi Arabia that dominates the attention of researchers and journalists. This article presents the Jordanian salafiyya both through the theological debates that drive it and through its territorial establishment within Jordanian cities (Amman, Zarqa and Irbid). Jordanian Salafi preachers, whether jihadist or quietist, receive international exposure through their networks of followers spread across the world, and increasingly use the Internet.Située à la charnière du Levant et de la péninsule Arabique, la Jordanie occupe une place particulière dans la géographie islamiste, plus particulièrement dans celle du courant salafi. Relativement négligée dans les études consacrées à la salafiyya, la Jordanie a pourtant produit depuis près de trente ans quasiment autant d'oulémas salafis - toutes tendances confondues - que l'Arabie Saoudite. Cette dernière monopolise pourtant l'attention des chercheurs et des journalistes. Dans cette courte note, la salafiyya jordanienne sera présentée tant à travers les débats théologiques qui l'animent que dans son ancrage territorial au sein des villes jordaniennes (Amman, Zarqa et Irbid). Les prédicateurs salafis jordaniens, qu'ils soient quiétistes ou jihadistes, bénéficient d'un rayonnement international via leurs réseaux de disciples disséminés à travers le monde, de plus en plus relayés par des sites internet

Trajectoires de salafis français en Egypte

En décembre 2006, l'arrestation au Caire d'une dizaine de ressortissants français, soupçonnés d'appartenir à un réseau « jihadiste » , fut largement relayée par la presse hexagonale, découvrant l'existence d'une importante communauté « d'exilés volontaires » présente en Egypte. L'approche de cette nouvelle pratique fut essentiellement sécuritaire , alliant même parfois l'incompétence à (le plus souvent) la simple malveillance. Pour cette raison, il est important d'élucider la démarche de ces jeunes occidentaux : comment expliquer cette expatriation accomplie au nom de l'islam ? Quelles exigences –religieuses ? politiques ? sociales – les intéressés cherchent-ils à satisfaire ? Le modèle explicatif que nous proposons ici pour rendre compte de cette démarche d'émigration (hijra), est fondé sur l'interprétation des informations obtenues au cours d'un séjour de recherches de 18 mois auprès des milieux salafistes francophones du Caire

French Jihādī in Crisis: "Role Exit" and Repression

International audienceOn Wednesday, February 14, 2007, at dawn, Abû Yâsîn, a man about 30 years old, father of a family, was arrested at his home in France. He was suspected of belonging to an organization that was arranging to send irregular fighters into Iraq. The arrest had been in preparation for over two months, through Franco-Belgian cooperation. The whole security operation had actually begun 24 hours earlier with the arrest in Syria of two French citizens who were accused of trying to enter Iraq illegally. Abû Yâsîn was released after three days of questioning and nine interviews in front of an officer of the court. He immediately wrote out a text detailing as precisely as possible the events that took place during his detention. This text was subsequently posted on a website, and later circulated by e-mail. His narrative allows us to gain access from the inside to the heart of representations of Salafi-Jihadist political identity, as these are diffused through the culture by means of the literature produced by this tendency, here in the early part of the 21st century. We present this text here, along with an introduction and commentary

Are you better off ; Ronald Reagan, Louisiana, and the 1980 Presidential election

This thesis describes how Ronald Reagan succeeded in carrying Louisiana in the 1980 Presidential election. Initially, pundits predicted the election, both statewide and nationwide, would be a “dead heat” between Reagan and President Jimmy Carter. Southern voters supported Carter, despite his many blunders; many American voters wondered if Reagan would be a competent leader. Reagan had a well-organized campaign and spent plenty of time in Louisiana, considered a pivotal “swing state.” His campaign team prepared speeches, explained issues, and received information and support from state Republican leaders, including Governor David Treen and Congressmen Robert Livingston and Henson Moore. Good local support, coordinated by the national campaign, paid real dividends. This thesis utilizes the Ronald Reagan Campaign Papers at the Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, California. These papers were first made available for research in 2008, and include correspondence among campaign staffers, politicians, and some supporters. In addition, this thesis uses network newscasts from the Vanderbilt University Television News Archive. Finally, numerous Louisiana newspapers, including those from rural, suburban, and urban areas, were used for research. Reagan\u27s victory in the 1980 election marked the beginning of a new form of conservatism that stressed economic and social reform via lower taxes, smaller federal government, strong national defense, and opposition to both abortion and homosexual lifestyles. In Louisiana, his win boosted the state\u27s Republican Party, once considered a small minority party with little power in local and state leadership. In addition, the 1980 campaign served as a trial run in Louisiana for Governor Treen, who served as Reagan\u27s Louisiana honorary campaign chair, and former Democratic Governor Edwin Edwards, who served as Carter\u27s Louisiana honorary campaign chair, as these two men faced each other in the 1983 gubernatorial election. Thanks to Reagan\u27s legacy, Louisiana\u27s Republican Party has transformed itself into a strong second party that currently holds most statewide elected offices, federal Congressional seats, and both houses of the state legislature. Though not clear in 1980, today it is clear that the conservative Republican resurgence in American politics defined itself in Louisiana in choices offered by Ronald Reagan in achieving an impressive electoral victory
