Shrnutí: | While social scientists ingreasingly share the assumption that religion can generally escalate as much as de-escalate conflict, the reconstruction of this ambivalence on the micro-level of religious identity and social action is still in its infancy. This empirical case study led to the identification of four ideal-typical ways in which religious beliefs, group identification processes and political behaviour can interact among Muslim peace activists in Gujarat, India. „Faith-based actors“ and „secular leaders“ represent static and clear configurations, while „emancipating women“ and „doubting professionals“ provide first hints to differentiate the hypothesis of ambivalence. |
