La Tunisie musulmane, pays à un riche passé chrétien et un présent tolérant
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 1996) Parzymies, Anna; Department for European Islam Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw
En avril 1996 le pape Jean Paul II a effectué une visite officielle en Tunisie. Après le Maroc, la Tunisie a été le deuxième pays de l’Afrique du Nord où s’est rendu le Souverain Pontife. Dans son discours devant le pape, le président de la Tunisie, Zine el Abidine Ben Ali a rappelé le passé chrétien de son pays. ,,La Tunisie, qui a eu dans son passé si grand apport ò la pensée chrétienne – disait-il – est restée après être devenue l’un des pôles lumineux de la civilisation islamique, une terre de quiètude et de coexistence pour les minorités chrétiennes et israélites. En effet, l’une comme l’autre ont trouvé dans l’ésprit d’ouverture des hommes de religion des pôles de référence priviligiés de la culture de tolérance et des nobles valeurs”. Rappelons qu’en juin 199O le chef d’Etat tunisien a été reçu par le pape au Vatican.

Islamic political movement in Malaysia
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 2004) Jelonek, Adam; Institute of Middle and Far Eastern Studies, Jagiellonian University
The global revival of Islam that began in the early 1970s has been widely discussed. The resurgence of Islam has predominantly been a political phenomenon that emerged when the existing social and political agenda of established institutions and their protagonists were perceived to have failed. Although Islamic revivalism has been global in nature, with many of the issues it brought forth being transnational in character, national boundaries remain the frame of reference within which Muslim contestations occur. This paper is a study of the origins and evolution of Muslim politics in Malaysia. As a background survey, it is primarily concerned with the early coming of Islam to the Malay world and developments up to about the mid-1970s. It will conclude, taking into account Malay-Islamic politics up to the 1990s, by identifying comparable patterns and potential future trends in Malay-Islamic politics.

The Nile River in Muslim Geographical Sources
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 2004) Nazmi, Ahmad; Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw
The Arab Egyptians usually call this river Baḥr an-Nīl (The Sea of Nile). Travelers from other Islamic regions also adopted this name apparently because of its great length and width. Although the name An-Nīl does not explicitly appear in the Qur’ān, it appears as a metaphor and no doubt as a poetical allusion, in the word Yamm (Sea) in the story of Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh. According to the anonymous author of Kitāb al-istibṣār, the Qur’ān calls it Yamm like in Hebrew while the Arabs call it Baḥr (Sea).

Integration and separatism. A sociopolitical study of the Thai government policy to the Muslim South
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 2003) Jelonek, Adam; Institute of Middle and Far Eastern Studies, Jagiellonian University
Southern Thailand has a Muslim population with a 200 year history of separatism and evolving relations with the central government. This paper refers to Southern Thailand as the five provinces of Songkhala, Satun, Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat which borders Malaysia. Approximately 80% of the Malay-Muslim or “Thai-Muslim” minority live in the southern provinces. Nationwide, there are nearly 4 million Muslims of the 62 million Thai pop- ulation. (Please note that the term “Malay-Muslim” and “Thai-Muslim” will be used interchangeably throughout the paper. Thai-Muslim is the term used officially by the Thai government to lessen ethnic differentiation.)
