How do we breach the chasm?
I would like to see us begin to sin
cerely engage states and people in
states in a fair manner to identify the
compelling issues and do something
about them. Many of us know what
the compelling issues are, but we are
not doing anything about them.
For example?
The issue of Kashmir. If we could
find a solution to Kashmir it would
really be key to breaking the back of
the global web of terrorism. The
United States could show that they
really do care about resolving this
conflict. We could put economic
pressure, put political pressure to
get India to agree to a third party me
diator regarding Kashmir. At the
point that the world is at right now,
it has gotten out of control that In
dia continues to say that Kashmir is
a internal domestic manner and
third party mediation is something
they will not accept. This is a global
issue, and the United States has
never approached Kashmir as a
global issue. It is interrelated to
what is happening in Afghanistan,
and it is interrelated to die idea of
the United States not caring about
what is happening to Muslims
around the world.
Is there also a chasm within the
Muslim world?
There are many chasms in the
Muslim world. One thing that I see is
a series of culture wars being fought
within the Muslim world. The cul
ture wars are not about how things
have always been contrasted with
something new and western and
Modem. There is no keeping things
as they have always been. What has
happened in many parts of the Mus
lim world is a reassertion, rethink
ing or a reformulation of Islam in
people’s experience — and Islam in
the lived experience. For example,
there is a movement called the
Tabliqh movement, which is a
movement to educate Muslims to
become better Muslims. It is not a
movement of proselytization, but for
Muslims themselves. Through the
Tabliqh movement, there has been
much more movement to educate
Muslims more about Islam. What of
ten — but not always — gets taught
is a much more narrow of interpreta
tion of Islam and a more orthodox
interpretation of Islam from what is
previously adhered to in a region.
For example, we can see Islamists —
the political movements that incor
porate a strong sentiment of Islam
within it — where the Tabliqh
movement has gone, and we have
seen the rise of the Islamist political
movement.

tives to the parkway, was losing by 7,612 votes.
Voters were casting their ballots up to the last
minute, and Eugene’s turnout was greater than 40 per
cent. The election’s overall return hovered near 36 per
cent.
“There’s been a good turnaround since yesterday,”
elections supervisor Annette Newingham said. “Voter
turnout is related to what’s on the ballot.”
The Eugene vote marks the latest attempt to find new
* transportation options for West Eugene. In 1986, vot
ers passed a measure that asked whether a parkway
should be built in West Eugene. Ground was never bro
ken on the project because of citizens’ concerns that 50
acres of wetlands would have to be paved and $88 mil
lion would have to be spent. Last December, the coun
cil voted to block development on the parkway but de
cided in August to place two measures on the ballot.
“We wanted to make it clear to the voters that there
was more than one way to work on the transportation
problems in West Eugene,” said Councilor David Kelly,
Ward 4. “We tried to put a multiple-choice question be
fore the voters.”
Other city leaders felt that putting two conflicting
measures on the ballot was unnecessary.
“The council majority did everything they could to
confuse voters on this issue,” said Mayor Jim Torrey. “I
had senior citizens call me because they didn’t want to
make a mistake.”
Kelly said the council will be discussing how to im
plement 20-54 in the coming weeks.
“We need to decide which TransPlan (project) to
postpone,” Kelly said.
Eric Jones, public affairs manager for Public Works,
said it’s unclear which projects will be shuffled
around.
“That’s a political decision that hasn’t been made,”
Jones said last week.
Springfield voters appeared to be approving the
measure to repeal the 1893 city charter, with 65.5 per
cent in favor and 34.4 percent against.
The new measure in Springfield replaces the 1893
charter with a general grant of power for the city. It
keeps the current council-manager form of government
and makes municipal court powers conform to state
law. The existing system of a council-manager form of
government in Springfield would not change.
