Resolved Question: What do you think about this (on Islam)?

In the Middle East today, there are two prevailing opinions about why the Islamic world now lags behind the West, according to Bernard Lewis. The first is the Islamic world has simply failed to keep up with modernity. The second is almost the exact opposite: it has become too much "like the infidels" and abandoned its own heritage, tradition, and faith. BERNARD LEWIS: Let me begin with a word of explanation. In spite of its title and the time when it appeared, this book [What went wrong, B.Lewis, 2002] is not a discussion of the events of September 11th. The book was already in page proof when that happened. I added a paragraph in some of the later printings on the last page, but that was the only change that I made. I cannot, therefore, pretend that the book is in any way a discussion of recent and current events. I can, however, reasonably claim that it may throw some light not on the circumstances arising from September 11th, but on those leading to September 11th. By that I refer not merely to the immediate preceding events, but to the longer perspective which it is the task of the historian to perceive and present. The core of the book is a series of public lectures which I gave in Vienna in 1999 at the Institute für Wissenschaften vom Menschen. The theme of the lectures was the three-hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, a treaty which ended a long and bitter war fought between the Ottoman Empire and the Austrian Empire, or the Holy Roman Empire as it still was in those days. There were many wars, but this one was of particular importance for a reason which I shall explain in a moment. We hear a lot nowadays about "the clash of civilizations, " a term which is used in a number of different senses. I have used it myself, but in a sense which is different from the one that is currently popular. Let me explain what I meant by "the clash of civilizations" because it is very relevant to the present topic. There have been many civilizations in human history, almost all of which were local, in the sense that they were defined by a region and an ethnic group. This applied to all the ancient civilizations of the Middle East—Egypt, Babylon, Persia; to the great civilizations of Asia—India, China; and to the civilizations of Pre-Columbian America. There are two exceptions: Christendom and Islam. These are two civilizations defined by religion, in which religion is the primary defining force, not, as in India or China, a secondary aspect among others of an essentially regional and ethnically defined civilization. Here, again, another word of explanation is necessary. In English we use the word "Islam" with two distinct meanings, and the distinction is often blurred and lost and gives rise to considerable confusion. In the one sense, Islam is the counterpart of Christianity; that is to say, a religion in the strict sense of the word: a system of belief and worship. In the other sense, Islam is the counterpart of Christendom; that is to say, a civilization shaped and defined by a religion, but containing many elements apart from and even hostile to that religion, yet arising within that civilization. The late Marshall Hodgson of Chicago University, who was the first to draw attention to this confusion, suggested that we use the word "Islamdom" as the counterpart of Christendom, an excellent suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't take, perhaps because the word is so difficult to pronounce. In present usage, therefore, we still use the word "Islam" in these two different senses: the name of a religion and the name of a civilization. A good deal of misunderstanding in the public discourse of the last few months arises from a failure to recognize and appreciate this very simple, basic fact. I shall be speaking of Islamdom rather than Islam, of a civilization shaped by a certain religion but nevertheless containing many elements that are distinct from it, and sometimes even hostile to it, that arise from within. These two religions and civilizations, have been in almost continuous clash for the fourteen centuries since the rise of Islam in 17th century Arabia. What has driven them into conflict with each other is not their differences, but their resemblances. There are many religions in the world, almost all of which are relativist in approach. They all believe that their truths are universal, but not exclusive. Just as mankind has invented different languages to talk to each other, they have invented different religions to talk to God, and all of them are equally true and equally false. That is the generally accepted view, except for two, Christianity and Islam. The Jews came up with the strange idea that there is only one God, thus endangering the universal tolerance of ancient polytheism. The Christians and the Muslims went one step further and said, "Not only is there only one God, but there is only one way to that God, ours. All the other ways lead to hell." Where you have two religions side- by-side, both with the same doctrine, both claiming to be the exclusive possessor of God's final revelation to humanity, with the duty therefore to bring it to the rest of humanity and not keep it selfishly for themselves, when, moreover, these two are historically consecutive and geographically adjacent, conflict between the two becomes virtually inevitable. Conflict arises more from their resemblances than from their differences. Christians and Muslims have met time and time again in the course of the centuries, even in the Middle Ages, in what was known as disputation, theological argument between the two sides. Between Christians and Muslims this was possible because they used basically the same theological language. When a Christian said to a Muslim or a Muslim said to a Christian, "You are an infidel and you will burn in hell," each understood exactly what the other meant because they both meant the same thing. Their heavens are rather remarkably different, but their hells are almost identical. Remarks of that kind would be utterly meaningless to a Hindu, a Buddhist, or a Confucian. This is a necessary introduction to what I have to say about what went wrong. For most of the fourteen centuries of conflict between these two, Islam was, by far, the most advanced, creative, original, and powerful. From its birth in 7th century Arabia, Islam spread with extraordinary speed around the Mediterranean, across North Africa, into Spain, beyond the Pyrenees into France, to Italy, Sicily, eastwards across Asia into India and China. It was, in a sense that Christianity did not dream of being at that time, a world power, an international polyethnic, you might even say intercontinental, civilization, while Christendom was still poor, primitive and limited substantially to Europe. I say "substantially" because there were Christians outside Europe, in the Middle East and particularly in Ethiopia, but they remained relatively small and unimportant groups. For most of the encounter between Christendom and Islamdom, it was Islam that was successful. In warfare, three times they invaded and conquered substantial parts of Europe: the Moors in Spain, Portugal, and even in to France; the Tatars dominated Russia for centuries; and third, last, and perhaps greatest in its impact, the Turkish invasion, the conquest first of Anatolia, then in 1453 of Constantinople, the great Greek Christian citadel, and then into southeastern Europe, reaching twice as far as Vienna. Now, there are always ups and downs. The Muslims were in Spain for almost 800 years. This long struggled ended with their expulsion by the Spanish Christians. But this was remote, at the far end of the world as far as they were aware, and its impact in the central lands of Islam was limited. We can look at things nowadays in a historical and global perspective. People in the 17th century had neither such perspective. They were concerned with what was happening now and here. And as far as that went, in the 17th century Islam was still triumphant. Remember, in the 17th century there were Turkish pashas ruling in Buddha and Belgrade, Turkish armies besieging Vienna, and Barbary corsairs raiding the coasts of Europe as far away as England and Ireland, and on one occasion even Iceland, looking for human booty. And then came the dramatic change. The first Turkish siege of Vienna was what in sports language one might call a draw, or in chess language a stalemate. Neither side won. They confronted each other for more than a century. Then the Turks tried again, in 1683 the second Turkish siege of Vienna, and this time the outcome was unequivocal. It was a calamitous defeat. Here I quote the contemporary Turkish historian Sulabdam al-Afaq [phonetic]: "This was the most calamitous defeat that we have suffered since the foundation of our state." One must commend the 17th-century Turkish historian for his frankness. One only wishes that present-day Middle East historians would achieve equal candor. The failure to take Vienna was followed by a headlong flight through the Balkans and the Treaty of Karlowitz, in 1699, the first treaty imposed on the Ottomans by victorious Christian enemies. There had been other defeats elsewhere, but they didn't strike the imaginination in quite the same way as this defeat between the two major powers of the two worlds, the Ottoman Empire, the last in many ways the greatest, and certainly the most enduring of all the Islamic states, and the Holy Roman Empire, representing Christendom, the successor of the Byzantium emperors in the Christian world. The signing of the Treaty of Karlowitz marked the beginning of the debate which has been going on ever since. It began with the Ottoman elite—military, bureaucratic, political— discussing this agonizing question: "What went wrong? More specifically, why is it that in the past we were always able to defeat the infidels; now the infidels are defeating us? In the past, we always captured territory from the infidels; now they are capturing territory from us." The debate began with the Ottoman elite. It spread in the course of time to wider elements of the population and from Turkey to other Islamic lands, as the awareness of the changed relation between these two historical rivals became more widespread. more

Former Scone High student in choir battle

THIS week's heat of Battle of the Choirs on Channel 7 features a local connection in former Scone High School student Jill Carter.

There are only eight spots in the television program's quarter finals, the final two of which will be decided in Sunday's episode.

Jill Carter is a soprano in the University of Newcastle Chamber Choir which performs in this week's program.

She is in her final year of music and teaching studies at the University of Newcastle.

Ms Carter began her love affair with choral music when she joined Scone Singers while in Year 10 at Scone High School.

“One thing led to another" said Ms Carter.

“I ended up accepting the invitation to be the conductor of Scone Singers. It was a great honour to be in charge of such an enthusiastic group of people of all ages and from all walks of life."

“Winning the adult choir section of the Upper Hunter Eisteddfod was one of many happy memories I have of my time with the Scone Singers."

“My association with the University of Newcastle Chamber Choir has been a natural transition, going from a smaller community choir to the larger chamber choir."

“I love it!" she said. more
