Abstract

The newly founded al-Ittihad al-Alami li-Ulama al-Muslimin (The International Association of Muslim Scholars, IAMS) aims at establishing a “global Islamic authority.” The driving force behind the IAMS is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Qatar based Egyptian scholar, and one of the main players in current Islamic debates.
