BBC – Religion & Ethics – The Goddess

In this series of articles the BBC goes in search of goddesses from many religious cultures and different continents, and ask: what does it mean for both women and men to worship a goddess, rather than a male god? Where has the goddess disappeared to in faiths like Christianity and Islam, which appear so dominated by men?

Trouw, religie & filosofie – Ramadan / Overal een kwade blik

Kwaadwillende blikken zijn overal. Op alles wat erdoor wordt getroffen, rust ongeluk. Alles wat je in de oude stad koopt, gaat daarom snel in een zwart plastic tasje, zodat niemand het ziet. Het zou afgunst kunnen opwekken en de koopwaar bederven.

Religion News Blog : Europe Struggling to Train New Breed of Muslim Clerics

“They believe that the growing Muslim population of Europe must stanch the migration of Muslim clerics who often are self-appointed, unfamiliar with the West, beholden to foreign interests and in the most extreme cases, full of hate and capable of terrorist acts. To that end, they say, a homegrown breed of imams must be created.”

Sometimes something and some persons are bigger than life. One of those people is Stephen
Demetre Georgiou, son of a Greek Cypriot father and a Swedish mother who changed his name into Cat Steven when his music career took off in the 1960s and 1960s. And who again changed his name, into Yusuf Islam, when he converted to islam and started to work for all kinds of peacefull and charity things, leaving the world of sex, drugs and rock’n roll behind. And now the the same man is a threat to US national security and therefore not allowed to enter the country.

Chicago Tribune: A rare look at secretive Brotherhood in America

“Muslims divided on Brotherhood

A group aiming to create Islamic states worldwide has established roots here, in large part under the guidance of Egypt-born Ahmed Elkadi
By Noreen S. Ahmed-Ullah, Sam Roe and Laurie Cohen
Tribune staff reporters

September 19, 2004

Over the last 40 years, small groups of devout Muslim men have gathered in homes in U.S. cities to pray, memorize the Koran and discuss events of the day.

But they also addressed their ultimate goal, one so controversial that it is a key reason they have operated in secrecy: to create Muslim states overseas and, they hope, someday in America as well.

Al-Khansa – Helping women balance family life, jihad

Posted on September 14th, 2004 by .
Categories: Islamnews.

Asia Times – Asia’s most trusted news source for the Middle East

Helping women balance family life, jihad by Sudha Ramachandran. Al-Khansa seems to be the buzz-word these days. “A new women’s magazine, al-Khansa, has recently been launched on the Internet. In itself, this is an unremarkable event, but unlike other women’s magazines, this one is likely to evoke immense interest among terrorism and counter-terrorism experts rather than the target readership themselves – Muslim women. ”
[…]
“In fact, al-Khansa exploits the woman’s traditional role in family and society as mother and nurturer of her children to get them to play a larger role in the jihad.” […]
“Radical Islamist groups are of course not the only ones calling on women to sacrifice their children for the cause. Governments, too, expect women to cheerfully send off their sons and husbands to the battlefield “to die for the flag, protect territory and the country’s national security” and to not grieve when they are killed. Only their effort to draw women into war is more subtle and sophisticated. “

“A pan-Arab version of “American Idol” shows how powerful pop-culture can be in undermining terrorism.

Osama bin Laden and fellow-traveling Islamist radicals believe that Western culture defiles their belief system and that unless it is stopped, it will obliterate what they regard as the one true way of life.

They’re right. “

The Charter of Human Rights and Freedom Given by Islam more than 1400 years ago

Religion News Blog : Muslims issue anti-terror guide

I was looking for a source on this newsitem when I heard of it for the first time; all postings I read on other (dutch) sites were without reference. This one was weblogged by ReligionNewsBlog.com and the original source is the BBC.
“”Jihad is a noble struggle to defend one’s homeland from external aggression, terrorism is indiscriminate targeting of innocents for some other cause.”

Spiked on Impotence and Islam on the brain

spiked-politics | Article | Islam on the brain
A friendly advice for people like

Ebru Omar, Geert Wilders, Theo van Gogh, Ayaan Hirsi Ali
en Bernadette de Wit
(niet dat ik ook maar enige hoop of verwachting heb dat ze hier komen) to read the article below. Perhaps that their sometimes very explicit sexual thoughts on islam, will come to a rest or even a more sophisticated contribution the whole debate.

“The spectre of the ‘Islamic threat’ is really a projection of a Western sense of impotence. It is perhaps a sense of the flimsiness of their own values that leads some to imagine that the sword of Islam is hanging over their heads”
