Theoretical framework of The Children of Sex-Workers in Bangladesh

Labeling theory is closely related to social-construction and symbolic-interaction analysis (Macionis, John J.,et al, 2011). Labeling theory was developed by sociologists during the 1960s. Howard Saul Becker's book Outsiders was extremely influential in the development of this theory and its rise to popularity. Labeling theory holds that deviance is not inherent to an act, but instead focuses on the tendency of majorities to negatively label minorities or those seen as deviant from standard cultural norms. (Labeling theory: Social constructionism, Social stigma, Deinstitutionalization, George Herbert Mead, Howard S. Becker, Labeling).

Theoretical and Theological Account

Both Muslim and non Muslim intellectuals offer different types of explanations regarding political Islam and its practice. Fanatic explanations and misinterpretations sometimes generate and agitate Islam-phobia among non Muslim people. Extremist groups portray such interpretation as the justification of their deeds. Prominent western scholars like Kepel Gilles, Samuel P. Huntington and Bernard Lewis give explanation for this phobia. In doing so, they also substantiate the reemergence of Islam in international politics. Ibn Tayamiyyah, Hassan al Banna, Mawlana Maududi and specially Sayyid Qutub from Muslim side, work as the promoter of political and revolutionary Islam.
