Perception shift needed to end ‘clash of civilizations’ mentality??

Perception shift needed to end ‘clash of civilizations’ mentality?? Is it just due to perception? No, Not exactly, but the duel between the satanic impulse of western "colonial capitalist" vs  "Equitable humanity in Islam" A plethora of recent initiatives has sought to promote intercultural dialogue and foster deeper understanding between civilizations and cultures, particularly Islam and the West. Regrettably, these efforts, including the establishment in 2005 of the UN Alliance of Civilizations, have remained mostly confined to the well-educated and their efforts have had no impact on  ordinary people.  On the contrary, an extremist attack or utterance overwhelms such initiatives and reinforces the perception of two antithetical cultures locked in inevitable and immutable conflict. The recently renewed uproar in France over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and the shocking atrocities that followed, clearly demonstrate the deep cultural divide that continues to ro...

Global Islamophobia: China, India, and Beyond

Image
  Global Islamophobia: China, India, and Beyond, By  Mohamed Elshekh State-sponsored persecution and unlawful vigilantism characterize the sociopolitical conditions of many Muslim minority communities. The French Senate’s  latest proposal  to ban the hijab in public settings and the ongoing  exodus  of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar spotlight only a few manifestations of Islamophobia in countries across the globe. The laws and rhetoric against Islam and Muslims have led to violent killings, mass migration, and even genocide. These are not merely isolated case studies of Islamophobia but global trends that need to be challenged. Governments have mobilized targeted efforts against the beliefs and practices of Muslims, effectively rejecting  international standards  which safeguard religious pluralism and the freedom to worship The Uighur Genocide The Chinese government’s systematic persecution of  Uighur Muslims  has been recognized as a...

The white nationalist fantasy of ancient Christian-Muslim conflict would get an ‘F’ in history class

The white nationalist fantasy of ancient Christian-Muslim  conflict would get an ‘F’ in history class. When I first heard the tragic news of the shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, I was preparing a lecture for my Introduction to Western Religions course on Jesus in the Qur’an. This lecture asks a deceptively simple question:  How was Islam different from Christianity in the 7th century?  As a historian of religion, I like to use questions like this to challenge my students to interrogate the definitions of religion that we use and how we understand the borders between religions like Christianity and Islam. Who built these borders, and when did they first appear? The White Supremacy- Anti Islam The terrorist charged with waging a calculated, hateful attack on Muslims in their place of worship fancies himself a historian, but it will come as little shock to learn that, given his writings, it’s clear that he’s never really read the texts of anc...

Image
BANGKOK — Rejecting arguments made by Myanmar’s civilian leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the International Court of Justice at The Hague ruled on Thursday that Myanmar must take action to protect Rohingya Muslims, who have been killed and driven from their homes in what the country’s accusers call a campaign of genocide. The ever suffering Rohungyas in Burma The court said Myanmar must “take all measures within its power” to prevent its military or others from carrying out genocidal acts against the Rohingya, who it said faced “real and imminent risk.” It also essentially put Myanmar under court oversight, telling it to submit regular reports to the tribunal explaining what steps it had taken. readmore:

The Jamia protests are the “culmination of anger against an anti-Muslim system” Protest  against Modi Facist Government “ Agar   sadan unki hai, toh sadak tumhari hai ”—If the parliament is theirs, the street is yours. Afaq Haider, a student of the Jamia Millia Islamia, a public central university in Delhi, was urging other students to be prepared for a long fight against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. The doctoral scholar, who addressed the crowd from an elevated platform next to the main gate of the JMI, said that this was a fight for the protection of the Constitution and not for or against any religion. Haider asked the students to be proud of the fact that the Muslim community, which has no support from political parties or mainstream media, had led the charge. It was 14 December, the second day of a protest by students of JMI against the Citizenship Act that had been signed into law two days ago. The act will facilitate Indian citizenship for migra...

Muslim nations are defending China

Last week, 22 mostly Western countries launched the world's first major collective challenge to China's crackdown on Uyghur Muslims and other minorities. In a joint statement to the High Commissioner of the United Nations' Human Rights Council, the nations criticized Beijing for what they described as "disturbing reports of large-scale arbitrary detentions" and "widespread surveillance and restrictions." A day later, 37 other countries jumped to Beijing's defense, with their own letter praising China's human rights record, and dismissing the reported detention of up to two million Muslims in western China's Xinjiang region. Nearly half of the signatories were Muslim-majority nations, including Pakistan, Qatar, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, according to the Chinese government. "Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures i...

The resurgence of “Ghazwa-e-Hind”: Indian transgressions against Muslims (Part 1)   Before I begin deliberating on the topic, I must issue some caveats. I am neither a religious scholar nor am I here to attack anyone who disbelieves or believes in a modern-day Ghazwa-e-Hind. The purpose of this article is to enlighten what Ghazwa-e-Hind entails and furthermore in light of the Indian misstep in Jammu & Kashmir, how the narrative of Ghazwa is gaining momentum in the subcontinent.  Indian Army prsecutionof Muslim in Khasmir ion and popularity.

  The resurgence of “Ghazwa-e-Hind”: Indian transgressions against Muslims. The current Ghazwa-e-Hind narrative and its perspective in Pakistan and India A tragedy befell Kashmir and the Muslim world on August 5, 2019, when India revoked the autonomous status granted to Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).
