“…The situation is further complicated by increasingly dual character of the labour market. The graduates are pushed out of the formal labour market and seek jobs in the informal economy that do not match with their educational levels and do not cover the basic necessities of life, not to mention arranging for a flat and saving up for marriage (Hoffman, ; Lubeck & Britts, ; Amin, ).…”

“…Source: World Bank Development Indicators 2010 The situation is further complicated by increasingly dual character of the labour market. The graduates are pushed out of the formal labour market and seek jobs in the informal economy that do not match with their educational levels and do not cover the basic necessities of life, not to mention arranging for a flat and saving up for marriage (Hoffman, 1995;Lubeck & Britts, 2002;Amin, 2004). Not only can today's Arab youths not achieve upward inter-generational social mobility in terms of career and middle class status, their desires are not meet even in terms of typical traditional aspirations taken for granted by previous generations.…”

The paper deals with the structural roots of political instability in the Middle East that has been manifested by the Arab Spring throughout the region since early 2011. The roots of the instability are seen in cumulative effects of highly uneven long‐term social change in its three main dimensions since 1960s: (1) rapid social and demographic changes, (2) slower and fluctuating economic development, and (3) rigid political subsystem. The Middle Eastern uneven social change is also under way in a specific (4) cultural and (5) international context. The political instability is thus seen as a consequence of multiple and complex interactions among various dimensions of uneven modernisation process, Islamic political imagination and the international context. The paper deals with the interactions on the macro‐level and with its politically destabilizing consequences on micro‐level using selected examples of causal mechanisms. The Middle Eastern uneven modernisation pattern is systematically documented by empirical macro‐indicators and is compared with the modernisation process in other post‐colonial world macro‐regions.

“…But "moderate fundamentalists" recognize the autonomy of individuals, accept the representative character of the state, and admit pluralism, human rights, freedom, and autonomous groups. Lubeck and Britts (2001) have investigated the development of civil society in Muslim majority cities from a historical standpoint and they related it, among other things, to the "unexpected shift from secular national to Islamic discourses" (p. 4). By Islamic discourse they mean the political interpretation of Islam that intends to realize the wishes of a Muslim society in accordance with early Islamic community which was ruled by the instruction of Sharia.…”

“…The annual growth rate of this population is 6%, compared to the average national rate of .09%, (Cornell University, 2002). Muslims also tend to be more concentrated in urban centers (Lubeck & Britts, 2001). Many Muslim Americans have distinct spiritual and health care needs, especially as they relate to daily religious practices and worship, medical ethics, and end-of-life treatment choices; hence, the ability to clarify the specific values of Muslim patients with health care staff is critical (Hamza, 2007;Rassool, 2000).…”

Muslim Chaplain’s Role as Perceived by Directors and Chaplains of New York City Hospitals and Health Care Settings

As more hospitals acknowledge the importance of spiritual care, there is an increasing demand for chaplains who can meet patients' spiritual needs. While most empirical studies thus far have focused on changes in chaplaincy services, and on the role of non-Muslim chaplains, very few have addressed the religious diversity among hospital chaplains and their roles in serving a diverse population. This study will be the first to examine the roles Muslim chaplains play in New York City hospitals and health care settings in general, and in serving Muslim patients in particular, as perceived by pastoral care directors and both Muslim and non-Muslim chaplains. This study used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative, including a cross-sectional survey administered to 56 pastoral care directors and in-depth interviews with 33 Muslim and non-Muslim chaplains. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis were used to analyze the quantitative data and a grounded thematic approach was employed to analyze the qualitative data. Results show that seven roles examined in this study were rated by most directors as being somewhat important to moderately important. The highest perceived importance mean given to Muslim chaplains' roles were handling directive education and organ donation (mean = 3.49, SD 1.95), prayers (mean = 3.14, SD =1.37), and providing emotional support to patients and their families (mean =3.13, SD=1.35). The perceived roles and activities are also different based on the location of the hospitals, the educational level of the directors, and faith affiliation of the directors and chaplains. The implication of this study is that addressing the cultural, racial, and ethnic disparities in health care settings, including chaplaincy services, is an important factor that could seriously impact health beliefs and behaviors.
