Columbia College Ottomans Europes Muslim Emperors Questions

World History since 1500

• Examine the section of “Working with Evidence” entitled “Contending for Islam.”
• Write an essay based on any three of the four document excerpts in that section, addressing one of the following question-clusters:

1. What are the core concerns that divide these authors? What historical circumstances might help to account for the very different understandings of Islam that are reflected in these documents?
2. How do you think Kemal Ataturk would have responded to later Islamic modernists such as Sheikh Kabir and/or Saira Khan?

Students may gain additional insight about Ataturk’s reforms by viewing these two segments from the 2013 BBC documentary, The Ottomans: Europe’s Muslim Emperors:

1. “Ataturk’s Westernization”
2. “Building the Turkish State”

The essay must be:

• Between 1000 and 1200 words in length
• Double-spaced, using a normal-sized font, such as Times New Roman 12-point
• Properly cited: Cite sources—whether directly quoted, paraphrased or summarized.
