“…His position corresponds to the widespread search, in Muslim religious circles, for an alternative to Hakimov’s neo-Jadidism. Still, we observe the attempts to question the strong difference between Jadids and Qadimis in post-Soviet Tatarstan, in particular by a Muslim thinker Valiulla Iakupov (Bustanov and Kemper, 2013: 832; Di Puppo and Schmoller, 2020), but also by some contemporary ‘religious political technologists’ (Kemper, 2019). On the other hand, Di Puppo and Schmoller (2020) mention the Sufi sheikh Zaynulla Rasulev who used a Jadid curriculum in his madrasa.…”

This paper discusses the question of knowledge construction on Islam in contemporary Russia through the lens of the category of space. Many everyday categories used by Muslims to characterize their identity are linked to spatial references. Starting from the idea of locality and ending in the search of traditional forms of Islam, these categories are highly politicized in the contemporary context. The aim of this paper is to explore the intermediary space between the political and the religious fields, the space of circulation between these fields in which experts on Islam are situated. Indeed, numerous academic specialists engage in expertise on Islam by creating or recycling categories, which circulate between the secular and the religious spaces. These experts have different backgrounds, different profiles and different strategies. Their impact on religious and political processes varies too. In addition, the experts of Islam have different characteristics according to the space they act in. We will compare these experts’ discourses in various regions (Moscow, Tatarstan and Dagestan) to analyse their strategies and the way in which they relate to their environment. Besides blurring the border between the secular and the religious by ensuring a permanent circulation of categories, the experts on Islam activate political and religious notions in a different manner according to their spatial affiliation. This concerns the reference to the local or international Muslim space as well as their normative discourse on acceptable forms of Islam.

The notion of radicalism or extremism is currently a problem faced in the world. Many organizations or institutions adhere to this ideology with the aim of their own interests on behalf of the Islamic religion. In dealing with these problems, various efforts have been made by the government, one of which is implementing interfaith literacy at the tertiary level to suppress radical views. Universities are the target of this organization because students are considered to have souls that are still unstable and volatile. This research aims to study the effectiveness of this interreligious literacy in suppressing radicalism in several universities. This study used a qualitative approach with a narrative inquiry design as its research methodology. This study involves students and stakeholders who play an important role in this interfaith literacy. The research findings show that this interreligious literacy program can prevent and suppress radical understanding among students by changing the pattern of religious education from a closed doctrinal pattern to shifting to using a functional humanistic approach. The increase in students' interfaith literacy skills can be seen from the change in their perspective or mindset towards the teachings of Christianity and other religions. It can be concluded that interreligious literacy is effective in counteracting and preventing the spread of radicalism in the campus environment. The implication of this research is that this inter-religious literacy program provides an alternative to revitalizing religious education and its models in increasing students' religious knowledge and socializing religious values in an inclusive and humanistic manner.
