Название: What is moderate islam? ISBN: 1498537413 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781498537414 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 197710.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This wide-ranging collection examines the relationship among Islam, civil society, and the state. The contributors-including both Muslims and non-Muslims-investigate how radical Islamists can be distinguished from moderate Muslims, analyze the potential for moderate Islamic governance, and challenge monolithic conceptions of Islam.
Drawing on a decade of research into the community that proposed the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque," this book refutes the idea that current demands for Muslim moderation have primarily arisen in response to the events of 9/11, or to the violence often depicted in the media as unique to Muslims. Instead, it looks at a century of pressures on religious minorities to conform to dominant American frameworks for race, gender, and political economy. These include the encouraging of community groups to provide social services to the dispossessed in compensation for the government's lack of welfare provisions in an aggressively capitalist environment. Calls for Muslim moderation in particular are also colored by racist and orientalist stereotypes about the inherent pacifism of Sufis with respect to other groups. The first investigation of the assumptions behind moderate Islam in our country, Making Moderate Islam is also the first to look closely at the history, lives, and ambitions of the those involved in Manhattan's contested project for an Islamic community center.

Описание: In the mid 1950s, a British taxi driver named George King claimed that Budha, Jesus, and Lao Tzu had been alien “cosmic masters” who had come to earth to teach mankind the right way to live. Sun Myung Moon claimed that Korean people are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel. Joseph Smith claimed that some lost tribes of Israel had moved to Americas hundreds of years ago. All three people successfully founded new religious movements that have survived to this day. How and why do some people come up with such seemingly strange and bizarre ideas and why do others come to place their faith in these ideas? The first part of this book develops a multidisciplinary theoretical framework drawn from cognitive science of religion and social psychology to answer these critically important questions. The second part of the book illustrates how this theoretical framework can be used to understand the origin and evolution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at founded by an Indian Muslim in 1889. The book breaks new ground by studying the influence that religious beliefs of 19th century reformist Indian Muslims, in particular, founders of the Ahl-e-Hadith movement, had on the beliefs of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. Using the theoretical framework developed in part I, the book also explains why many north Indian Sunni Muslims found Ahmad’s ideas to be irresistible and why the movement split into two a few years Ahmad’s death. The book will interest those who want to understand cults as well as those who want to understand reformist Islamic movements.

Описание: Anglo-German Dramatic and Poetic Encounters contains essays focusing on the roles of drama and poetry in Anglo-German exchange in the Sattelzeit. It offers new perspectives on the movement of texts and ideas across genres and cultures, the formation and reception of poetic personae, and the place of illustration in cross-cultural, textual exchange.
The Moderate Solution breaks through the political gridlock and polemic rhetoric to offer reasoned centrist solutions for fixing the federal budget deficit.
In today's polarized political climate, where politicians distort facts to promote their own agendas and the so-called experts are unable to agree, we are left to sort through the conflicting arguments and make up our own minds. To bring clarity to the fiscal debate, The Moderate Solution is written in a relaxed, conversational style for an audience of independent thinkers and concerned citizens.
The Moderate Solution begins by reviewing the unsustainable fiscal position of the United States government before discussing the country's founding economic and political principles, as espoused by Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. It goes on to explore the basic principles of the free market system and discuss the modern history of government finance. Leaving no stone unturned, it then addresses issues central to the present-day political discussion, such as the fairness of US tax policy, the social safety net, health care, and income inequality.
Finally, author David B. Wilson offers up his solutions. But whether or not you agree with his approach, this book provides the solid facts and figures you need to draw your own conclusions.
