Abstract:
One of the ideas in the debates concerning anti-Islamic activities is that atheists, especially prominent celebrity atheists – commonly known as ‘New Atheists’ – have provided support and justification for anti-Islamic attitudes and activities. Given that Sam Harris, one of the so-called New Atheists, stated that he started writing his first book, The End of Faith (2004), immediately after the 9/11 attacks, criticism of Islam is expected to be prevalent among some atheists. The more interesting questions, however, concern what kind of criticism there is, how to make sense of its reasons and mo

Abstract:
Abstract We use data from qualitative interviews with forty atheist activists in two Canadian cities to analyze the politics of critiquing Islam in the contemporary political environment. We show that atheist activists struggle to navigate between their criticisms of Islam, their fears of being labeled “Islamophobic” (taken as a synonym for “racist” or “xenophobic”), and their concerns about contributing to anti-Muslim rhetoric. To manage this struggle, atheists rely on stigma management tactics that allow them to hold or express criticisms of Islam without earning racially charged stigmatizin

People in terms of belief in God, can be divided into three groups, theism atheism and agnosticism. Theism is the belief in at least one deity. Atheism is an absence of belief in the existence of deities. . Agnosticism, is the view or belief that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable.

Abstract:
In the present era, Muslim society faces numerous intellectual, political, social, and religious challenges. Among these, one of the serious challenges is atheism. Although atheism did not have a significant impact on the general populace in the past, a review of the last few years reveals that atheistic ideologies and philosophies are rapidly influencing contemporary civilizations, including religious societies. Even though the philosophy of atheism is not a new concept, it has manifested differently over time. This indicates that atheism has now become a serious ideological and moral challen

When it comes to the Soviet government religion policy one can think of the Soviet atheist policy and antireligious attack. Even if the atheism was one of the main ideologies of the communists throughout the Soviet history, the policy of the state in relation to religion, including Islam, was different at each stage. The attack by the Soviet authorities on Islam, which took place between 1929 and 1941, was the most severe. It was the unprecedented Soviet attack against Islam. Along with a direct attack on Islam, the Soviet government intensified its massive anti-religious propaganda during thi

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present the situation of atheists and apostates in Iraq, as the tendency to abandon religion is increasing in this country. With the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein and his party, Shiites took power in the country who, guided by religious doctrine, often limit the freedoms and rights of citizens. In addition, the authorities in the country still maintain a policy of ethnic and religious divisions towards citizens, which leads to social conflicts.

Abstract Both scholars and the general public have tended to assume that Islam is immune to modernization and secularization and that Muslims are all fanatical religionists. However, the growing and increasingly active number of nonbelievers in Muslim-majority countries has been called a tsunami by religious authorities. This article surveys the current research on nonreligion and atheism in Islam-dominated countries, with special attention to Egypt. After examining the statistical information on nonbelief, including in unlikely places such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, the article considers the t

Abstract:
The present research aims to investigate whether atheism is present in the thought of medieval Muslim thinkers. So far, these thinkers have been usually disregarded or poorly addressed in studies about the historical evolution of atheism. Previous studies about the evolution of atheism have pointed out that this concept is expressed both through the rejection of a specific, usually the most dominant religion, as well as through claims that do not aim to reject the divinity, but that considerably limit the presence of the supernatural in human affairs.

Abstract:
This thesis is an historical and ethnographic account of the postcommunist reconstitution of Albanian Bektashi Sufi practices and community life in the aftermath of a state-based program of radical atheistic secularism. The study is based on 12 months of intensive anthropological fieldwork (9 months in 2007 and shorter research trips between 2005 and 2011) and archival research. The Bektashi Muslims were once closely associated with and supported by the Ottoman state. Since then they have suffered many reversals in fortune. The most severe attack on the Bektashi occurred in communist Albania.

Religious identity has always been a contentious issue in Turkish politics. A commonly shared Sunni Muslim identity has been an essential component of Turkish nationalism ever since the early Republican era.

Being Turkish supposedly equals being Muslim. Being atheist, on the contrary, means to represent the Turkish nation’s virulent adversary spawned by Western imperialism.

How far can we categorize their writings as "apologetics" for Islam in the land of the colonizers?
