Food not bomb 食物不是炸弹 Hamas and Civil Society in Gaza: Engaging the Islamist Social Sector. By Sara Roy. 加沙的伊斯兰抵抗运动与公民社会：参与伊斯兰主义社会事业。萨拉罗伊著。 Few would expect an Islamic charity to offer workshops on sexuality and ways for disabled people to improve their sex lives. But the al-Wafa hospital in Gaza has been providing this service for years, and it is hardly atypical. Many assume that Islamic charities are merely a guise for promoting terrorism, writes Sara Roy, a Middle East scholar at Harvard. In her new book about social services in Gaza, based on trips to the strip over the past 15 years, she argues that the reality is more complex. 几乎没有人意想到伊斯兰教慈善团体会向残疾人士提供关于性方面的讲习班以及改善性生活的方法。但是在加沙的以色列的医院已经提供此项服务很多年了，所以这已成为司空见惯的事请了。很多人认为伊斯兰教的慈善团体只不过是促进恐怖主义的伪装，也正如一个在哈佛的中东学者萨拉罗伊所写那样。在关于加沙社会福利事业的新书中，基于她过去15年去加沙地带的出行，她认为现实情况更复杂。 Palestinians are pragmatic when it comes to social care. Many go from one organisation to the nextboth Islamic and secularto scavenge as much support as they can, regardless of politics or ideology. Parents often choose religious schools and hospitals because the services are better there than those provided by secular NGOs or the feeble Palestinian state. Palestinians of all social classes, including the secular and the wealthy, send their children to Islamic schools, just like many agnostic London parents send their children to church schools renowned for their discipline and education. |
