“…Entrances to public spaces are regulated, and the prioritized identities are assigned strategic positions (Aslan, 2014; Yılmaz, 2013; Yüksel, 2006). Dress code regulations for women in public institutions in Turkey and Iran to create the image of a modern nation (Aslan, 2014; Jung & Piccoli, 2001; Kandiyoti, 1997; Nereid, 2011; White, 2003), and the ban on burqas and burkinis in France to protect nation's secular image are a few examples (Alibhai, 2019; Sommier, 2019). To follow Benedict Anderson's (1986) suggestion that, to comprehend nationalism, one needs to think carefully about how it comes to be, it is necessary to understand nationalist discourses as how they stratify pre‐existing social identities in ranks on a national scale.…”

The funeral ceremonies of female fighters are a relatively recent phenomenon that gained popularity in Kurdish politics in Turkey in the early 2000s and after the 2011 uprisings in Syria. As a sociocultural rite, these funerals have become a spectacular site, a political means, and a symbolic investment serving an intersectional agenda pursuing Kurdish national and gender‐egalitarian aspirations simultaneously. The funerals provide a ground for mobilizing women to claim symbolic authority in public and inscribe women as nation builders to the notion of nation. Women undertaking this intersectional task through national discourse garnered significant academic interest in the national dimension of the ceremonies. However, the emphasis on the national aspect overshadowed the gendered strategy the ceremonies signify. This article investigates the gender aspect of funerals to draw attention to the use of national discourse to subvert patriarchal dynamics within society, highlighting the role of national struggle in women's pursuit of liberation from social oppression. Therefore, it speaks to the scholarship focused on gender in nationalist endeavors and revisits the discussions on gender‐nation relations by focusing on national discourse instrumentalization serving the gender agenda. The analysis reveals the intricate dynamics between gender and nation and how they intersect in pursuing women's liberation.

“…This creates an atmosphere in which people can openly practice their beliefs without worrying about discrimination or reprisal (Abulmajd, 2023b) (Aswindasari & Marhamah, 2024). A different study (Alibhai, 2019) (Haidari, 2024), states that religious cohabitation is commonly understood to be the active involvement and positive acceptance of difference (Tarman et al, 2024). In a study (Navvab, 2018) (Yuhanida et al, 2024), Realistic justification and religious teachings that strive for peaceful coexistence and tolerance of adherents of various religions describe religious cohabitation.…”

Historically, Bangladesh has been host to numerous religious minorities, such as Buddhists, Hindus, Sheiks, Animists, and Atheists. It made a significant contribution to the continuation of social, political, and religious concord among people of many religious views after the liberation war. In varied communities like Bangladesh, religious concord is especially dependent on religious cooperation. This study used a mixed-method approach to investigate the dynamics of religious cohabitation in Bangladesh, depending on Islamic texts, particularly the Quran and Hadith, to provide background. In this study, the concepts and ideals that facilitate peaceful coexistence among various religious groups in Bangladesh are examined through an analysis of pertinent passages and teachings. The study also evaluates Bangladesh's current state of minority groups’ social, political, and religious rights. The study’s conclusions add to the conversation on religious coexistence and provide useful advice for promoting interfaith harmony and understanding in Bangladesh and elsewhere. The outcome demonstrates that Islam places a strong emphasis on treating minorities and individuals of all religions with respect and decency. Bangladesh is a multicultural country that is suitable for coexisting peacefully with individuals of different backgrounds. Regardless of caste or religion, people here are kind and considerate of one another. At times conflicts are seen between Muslims and non-Muslims as people think most of them are personal and political provocations.

“…It is because religion is not just about God Himself but about solidarities among human beings that have been inherently sociological since the beginning of time. The transcendental aspects of religion are inherently plural in their correlations with social conditions (Alibhai, 2019). Notably, the relationship between transcendental and sociological aspects of religion is reciprocal.…”

“…Hagia's lyrics also reflect the matter of orientational pluralism. The songs indicate a point of appreciation for every religion according to its doctrines (Alibhai, 2019;Genius, 2020). By doing so, religions could attain their fullest achievements as a way to accentuate goodwill within individuals and societies.…”

“…By doing so, religions could attain their fullest achievements as a way to accentuate goodwill within individuals and societies. Even though the lyrics are brief, they already reflect the lengthy era of religious tolerance in Indonesia; according to a study by Harvard scientists, music has universal qualities that cross over into various societies (Alibhai, 2019;Gottlieb, 2019). Therefore, the simple lyrics emphasise both esoteric and exoteric points of religion in Indonesia.…”

This article examines how Barasuara's composition "Hagia" contributes to promoting religious tolerance and orientational pluralism in Indonesia, aiming to comprehend the manifestation of these concepts within the musical piece. The study uses qualitative methods and Heim's theoretical frameworks to show that the lyrics of "Hagia" show a diverse and pluralistic ethos by focusing on a number of different points of view and themes that help create an environment where religious tolerance can thrive. The study results indicate that cultivating a pluralistic understanding through music can foster acceptance and inclusivity among individuals of different religious backgrounds. Furthermore, the article argues that the influence of religion may vary between younger and older individuals. "Hagia" transcends relativism by advocating for active consideration and recognition of others' beliefs, thereby suggesting that a pluralistic understanding can aid individuals in becoming more accepting and inclusive of their religion as well as others, or what can be called religious tolerance. This study contributes to a more nuanced comprehension of societal responsibilities in fostering a more inclusive and tolerant society. It facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter at hand.
