Muslim folly every where

Muslim folly every where

By Ghulam Mohyuddin Wani

The Muslim world is divided. We have almost 73 divided groups, ranging from Hanfi,Jehadi,Shia,Sunni,Asmalie,Ahmedias,Baraleies,nadvei,deobandies and like, I am a simple Muslim, having no classification label. I believe in God .He has send us dictates to lead this life. The directions sent by him through prophets are for whole humanity.

The universal brotherhood is same which is and should be the Muslim brotherhood. Islam means the dictates of God sent through Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).The teachings of Quran are the basis of Muslim theology along with true and authenticated Hades,

 Now Muslims were only one believing all on Quran till Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) was in the world. we were one and we called ourselves Muslim. This era of Muslims was of peace, tranqulity science and Technology.

I was aPh.D student in Hannover, Germany and have secured First Grade eniene doctorate. I was the First Asian to have such an Honour. The final PhD exam in Germany is a final three subject oriented oral examination, besides the routine grade exams. The thesis is sent to renound scientis in the field and once it is approved, the three reputed scientist or professors from outside your institution are called to examine the candidates, scientific, social, ecologicac and general knowledge. This is most dreadening examination for all Hannovarian.

In all these ,board consists of 5-6 professors including one from your Institution who has been your guide. I am writing this not  to praise myself but to tell you that I knew all subjects, but Islam. I never expected that my own guide will question on Islamic concepts of science and not on the work I have done. I somehow attempted all questions with satisfactory answers except the last one from none else than my teacher and guide.

His question was who is the founder of modern university system in this world. I just tried to confuse him with nice vocabulary and gave many examples from Geek to Incident Indian and Egyptian culture.

He was not satisfied and in a very distressing tune informed as. It is non else than the prophet Hazrat Mohammad who after conquering Mecca ordered all those knowledgeable Jews who can teach Muslim boys and girl are free and have same status as other muslims.They all were Jews who have not embraced Islam. He added (I felt as if mounds of mud and rebuke is shrouded on me) .

He later explained that he thought I offer nimaz.keep fast in a day of 20 hrs duration, no wine, no discos and women as other Muslims from Arabs are famous  for here. But I was disappointed that you too are an superficial muslims.

This is our problem. We try to boost as Muslims without knowing our past. It is our misery. I have seen great Muslim scholars in India .I will today tell you my best friends one Dr a bengali,an immanent batch mate of mine .He is number one Agricultural Economist of India and has been Director of all economic forms and is presently associated with planning commission. He is not a Muslim at tall as even as ARS probationer he was a regular wine drinker.

Similarly see allmost all MUslim  officer and professors .lawyers and all are addicted to wine, women and have never thought do  any Muslim welfare welfare activity. See world renounced persons Abukalam,husein the painter,all fedas and poets have this modern or liberal mental disease.I am sure all talented persons need a teacher like mine who will convert them as muslims.

Here our society gems feel pride to be called liberals. Be it Iraq or any Muslim country. I have seen best talents class mates from all Muslim countries especially Iraq,,Isreal,phalestein ,Africa .Except few Sudanese, Egyptian are were pure wine, dine liberals' wonder, two of them one from Saudi told me that why you want to go to Mecca in holidays, he lives only few Kgs from Maca and has never thought to visit there. As he considers Quran a 1400 old ritual and not Gods Iqira, I felt stunned and have never liked these pseudo instead I love Germans, Hungarian even Danes who were very informative as back as 19821-85,  when I was there.

 A German Engineer and a common friend have served the Iran. He was almost full Muslim, no wine, no other wild sex and an honest gentle man. We were five friend's me.him, a German couple and an law student a beauty German blond. All women, teachers and friends liked me as a good Muslim devoid of the wominazation and wine. I was lucky even to have chicken in the Bunteweg Mensa of our university on days they cooked swine meat. My simple plea to you all where ever you are is to be true muslim.Even never felt any problem to be a Muslim anywhere be it Rafisthan,mongolism,INDIA,Philipines ,Germany or even Russia. I asked for and they obliged me with Halhal meat. My teacher in Gem nay uses to bring live chilen, rabbit and I used to Zabah them in their village. Even a Jewish professor Hahn used to order Muslim meal for me when I joined him embryo transfer case in Bremenhaffen.Even in China last year I cherished Muslim meals and offered all nimazs in mosques. See my travel memoirs in www.articlebase,com My aim here is not glorify myself at this age when no reward, awards or posting are aim of my life. Yes I tell you the so called intellectuals come forward and tell truth, it is only the Quran an islam alone which will bring peace and progress in the world. I ask the Imam if al KABA to tell me when a true Muslim cannot afford not speaking to fellow muslimthen why the Suadia King conspires for the Iran's nuclear development. Let all join hand and bring that lost glory of science, technology to all worlds.

The Government and Politics of Isreal $3.95 Israeli government and politics have undergone significant changes since the second edition of this book was published in 1983. Israel withdrew from Lebanon, absorbed hundreds of thousands of new immigrants from the collapsed Soviet Union and Ethiopia, and undertook peace negotiations with the Palestinians and other Arab neighbors that led to a historic peace treaty, the Declaration of Principles. These events were made possible as a result of several institutional, legal, and normative changes in the political system.This completely revised edition of "The Government and Politics of Israel" offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the dynamics of Israeli politics. This edition focuses on issues that have become central in the study of Israel's political system, such as new electoral procedures, the formation of new parties, government administrative reorganization, fresh personalities on the national scene, and the peace process. The book is intended to familiarize those interested in Israel's government with its origins; the evolution of its institutions, practices, and traditions; and the workings of the government today.

The Saudi Enigma $51.89 Despite speculation about Saudi interests and loyalties that have been directed at the country since 9/11, Arabia remains the key US ally in the Arab Middle East. M¿noret debunks the facile notions about Saudi society, and focuses our attention on present political and economic realities that cannot be reduced to essentialist "tribalist" ideas. M¿noret illustrates the emerging autonomous--and Islamic--manifestations of Saudi national identity, fiercely reformist rather than medieval, complex and varied rather than merely a justification or support for the rule of the al-Saud royal family. Underlying this account is a sophisticated economic history of the Saudi state, from the eighteenth century to the present day, which details all the alliances and manoeuvres that have brought the country and its rulers to their current precarious position.

Arab League $46.1 The Arab League, officially called the League of Arab States, is a regional organization of Arab states in Southwest Asia, and North and Northeast Africa. It was formed in Cairo on March 22, 1945 with six members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan (renamed Jordan after 1946), Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Yemen joined as a member on May 5, 1945. The Arab League currently has 22 members. The main goal of the league is to "draw closer the relations between member States and co-ordinate collaboration between them, to safeguard their independence and sovereignty, and to consider in a general way the affairs and interests of the Arab countries." Through institutions such as the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALESCO) and the Economic and Social Council of the Arab League's Council of Arab Economic Unity (CAEU), the Arab League facilitates political, economic, cultural, scientific and social programs designed to promote the interests of the Arab world.

Saudi Arabia and the New Strategic Landscape $11.68 In the new post-cold war strategic landscape of the Middle East, the United States' most important Arab ally, Saudi Arabia, plays a key role. The will and the resources of Saudi Arabia are badly needed if the Iranian menace is to have a worthwhile regional challenger. Joshua Teitelbaum has studied Saudi Arabia, following the twists of its history and its strategic choices, throughout his academic career. In this work, he evaluates Saudi foreign policy in the Persian Gulf and in the Arab-Israeli peace process and provides a shrewd assessment of the Saudi-U.S. relationship. Teitelbaum debunks the traditional view of Saudi foreign policy that emphasizes the Saudi concern with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and explains how the true concern of Arabia's rulers is the ideological battle that has been opened up by Iran's push into Arab affairs. He tells why U.S. policy makers should be encouraged to cement the alliance with Saudi Arabia by resolutely addressing the Iranian threat to Saudi domestic politics and Riyadh's regional position. "Saudi Arabia and the New Strategic Landscape" is a detailed look into the way the Saudi rulers juggle the pressures and claims that intrude on their domain.

The Arab World $42.51 This accessible and informative book is the first new study of economic development in the Arab World since the Gulf War of 1991. It evaluates the means by which states as diverse as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Morocco and Jordan have sought to achieve economic advancement in relation to the cultural contexts from which they have emerged. The book also highlights the continuing distinctions between Arab and Western interpretations of what "development" means. In the Arab oil states, development has not been constrained by a lack of capital but rather by water availability and the shortage of skilled labor. The crisis of Arab identity has detracted from, and in some cases destroyed, promising schemes for economic advancement. Allan M. Findlay demonstrates that external involvement in the region has been responsible for many of the development dilemmas faced by the Arab world today. He argues that Arab states must identify clear development objectives which satisfy both their rising economic aspirations and their strong attachment to Islamic values.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ratified the International Convention against Torture in October 1997 according to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Human rights of Saudi Arabia are specified in article 26 of the Basic Law of Saudi Arabia. The first independent human rights organization in Saudi Arabia, the National Society for Human Rights, was established in 2004. In 2008, the Shura Council ratified the Arab Charter on Human Rights.

A Doctor in Galilee: The Life and Struggle of a Palestinian in Isreal $27.22 Hatim Kanaaneh is a Palestinian doctor who has struggled for over 35 years to bring medical care to Palestinians in Galilee, against a culture of anti-Arab discrimination. This is the story of how he fought for the human rights of his patients and overcame the Israeli authorities' cruel indifference to their suffering. Kanaaneh is a native of Galilee, born before the creation of Israel. He left to study medicine at Harvard, before returning to work as a public health physician with the intention of helping his own people. He discovered a shocking level of disease and malnutrition in his community and a shameful lack of support from the Israeli authorities. After doing all he could for his patients by working from inside the system, Kanaaneh set up The Galilee Society, an NGO working for equitable health, environmental and socio-economic conditions for Palestinian Arabs in Israel. This is a brilliant memoir that shows how grass roots organisations can loosen the Zionist grip upon Palestinian lives.

Syria and Saudi Arabia $89 Syrian-Saudi relations have been a paradox in inter-Arab politics during the oil era. Commentators and analysts have questioned why the two states pursued mutually conflicting aims in almost every major regional or international foreign policy issue and often propagated contrasting ideological banners over the past thirty years; while both acting as though some form of an alignment existed between them? Here, Sonoko Sunayama explores the logic behind the paradoxical longevity of this cooperative relationship and argues that what ultimately makes Saudis and Syrians so indispensable to each other is the perception and the historical appeal of 'shared identities', be they Arabism or Islam.

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arab $3.95 Sultana is a Saudi Arabian princess, a woman born to fabulous, uncountable wealth. She has four mansions on three continents, her own private jet, glittering jewels, designer dresses galore. But in reality she lives in a gilded cage. She has no freedom, no control over her own life, no value but as a bearer of sons. Hidden behind her black floor-length veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, her sons, and her country.Sultana is a member of the Saudi royal family, closely related to the king. For the sake of her daughters, she has decided to take the risk of speaking out about the life of women in her country, regardless of their rank. She must hide her identity for fear that the religous leaders in her country would call for her death to punish her honesty. Only a woman in her position could possibly hope to escape from being revealed and punished, despite her cloak and anonymity.Sultana tells of her own life, from her turbulent childhood to her arranged marriage--a happy one until her husband decided to displace her by taking a second wife--and of the lives of her sisters, her friends and her servants. Although they share affection, confidences and an easy camaraderie within the confines of the women's quarters, they also share a history of appaling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations; thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room," a padded, windowless cell where women are confined with neither light nor conversation until death claims them.By speaking out, Sultana risks bringing the wrath of the Saudi establishment upon her head and te heads of her children. But by telling her story to Jean Sasson, Sultana has allowed us to see beyond the veils of this secret society, to the heart of a nation where sex, money, and power reign supreme.

The Arab Lobby $9.99 In this authoritative history—the first in over twenty-five years to investigate the scope and activities of the Arab Lobby—Mitchell Bard provides a timely and valuable corrective to the unbalanced view of Middle East affairs that is so widely promoted today. The so-called Israel lobby has been widely denounced and demonized in the media, but its power pales in comparison to the decades-long corruption of American interests by Arab governments. Indeed, for more than seventy years, U.S. policy in the Middle East has been shaped not by the power of a nefarious "Israel lobby" but by a misguided emphasis on pleasing and placating the Arab states. This outlook has ensured that the United States pays disproportionate attention to their demands, assisting Arab countries—all of them dictatorial regimes with abysmal human rights records—that do not share our values, and often work to subvert our interests. Historically, the Arab lobby consisted of the oil industry, Christian missionaries, and current or former U.S. diplomats. Arabists in the State Department, many of them openly anti-Semitic, tried to prevent America from recognizing Israel in 1948, and have since waged a long bureaucratic war to undermine the alliance between America and the only true democracy in the Middle East, blocking arms and aid to Israel, while seeking larger weapons sales for their Arab friends. Many of these Arabists subsequently found lucrative jobs promoting business with Arab countries, speaking on their behalf and criticizing U.S.-Israel policy. Today the Arab states influence American policy through numerous hidden and informal channels, including former members of Congress, subsidized think tanks, paid media spokesmen, academics who hold chairs endowed by Arab money, human rights organizations, assorted UN agencies, European diplomats, and Christian groups hostile to Israel. A number of former ambassadors, university professors, and think tank experts routinely opine on Middle Eastern affairs, but never reveal these conflicts of interest. The most powerful member of the Arab lobby is Saudi Arabia, which has a nearly eighty-year relationship with the United States. From the earliest days, when American companies first discovered oil in the Arabian Peninsula, the Saudis have used a variety of tactics, including threats and bribes, to coerce U.S. policy makers to ignore their human rights abuses, support of terrorism, and opposition to American interests. Today, Bard shows, the Arab lobby's goals include feeding America's oil addiction, obtaining more sophisticated weaponry, and weakening our alliance with a democratic Israel. It also seeks to influence public opinion through a well-funded publicity campaign, and by injecting distorted views of the Middle East into high school and college textbooks. Bard's detailed political history brings much-needed balance to a debate fraught with ignorance and propaganda.

Saudi Arabia and the US Since 1962: Allies in Conflict $45.52 "A significant contribution to the literature on the critical relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States."--Professor Tim Niblock, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter Since the 1960s, Saudi Arabia and the US have maintained a strategic alliance that has often assumed the form of a delicate diplomatic balancing act. Characterized by overlapping interests and mutual dependency--the US on the Kingdom for its oil and regional influence, Saudi Arabia on the US for security and legitimacy--Saudi-US relations have withstood successive changes of kings and presidents alike. In considering the two nations' complex relationship, Naif bin Hethlain revisits critical turning points such as Egypt's involvement in Yemen, the 1967 and 1973 Israeli-Arab wars, the Iran-Iraq War, both US-led Gulf Wars, and 9/11, among others. He argues that good Saudi-US relations are indispensable to the stability of the Middle East. Balanced, insightful, and exhaustively researched, "Saudi Arabia and the US since 1962" is a nuanced assessment of more than forty-five years of geopolitics. Naif bin Hethlain completed his PhD at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, UK, in 2007. He lives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Arab Youth $24.78 In 2011, Arab youth took to the streets in their thousands to demand their freedom. Although it is too early to speculate on the ultimate outcome of the uprisings, one auspicious feature stands out: they reveal the genesis of a new generation sparked by the desire for civil liberties, advocacy for human rights, and participatory democracy. This unique volume explores some of the antecedents of the upheavals and anticipates alternative venues of resistance that marginalized youth – from Lebanon, Syria and Palestine to Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Iran – can mobilize to realize their emancipatory expectations. Themes covered include the forging of meaningful collective identities in times of risk and uncertainty; youth militancy, neighborhood violence and youth gangs; the surge of youthful activism; and youths’ expressive outlets through popular arts and street music.    

Arab Storm $26 Presents unique insights from key player in first Gulf War, who continues to have an extremely high profile. There is renewed interest in diplomacy of first Gulf War in wake of current Iraq crisis. As Iraqi troops surged into Kuwait in 1990, British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Alan Munro played a vital role in both forging and maintaining a formidable coalition to evict them. Never before had Western and Arab states fought side by side against another Arab country. He reveals here all the behind-the-scenes manouevring that made this possible. He recalls with verve and candour the frantic phone calls, the diplomatic interplay, the confusion of the battlefield, and the difficulties of dealing with the international media. Munro surrounds his revelations with a thoughtful and informed analysis of the international politics of the Middle East. With Western armies once more deployed in the Gulf, this new updated paperback edition of Munro's book provides a timely reminder of the pressures, pitfalls and potential of international diplomacy in the region.

The Battle for Saudi Arabia: Royalty, Fundamentalism, and Global Power $11.36 Saudi Arabia is an enigma to most Americans. The country is home to Islam's holiest sites and the world's largest proven oil reserves. A strategic partner to the U.S. in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is also the homeland of Osama bin Laden, and -fifteen of the nineteen hijackers who attacked the United States on Septem-ber 11, 2001. Although officially considered a "moderate" Islamic state by the U.S., Saudia Arabia enforces the same state religious ideology as did the Taliban. In "Saudi Arabia & the U.S.," Arab American scholar Asad AbuKhalil examines Saudi society, its history, religion, and ethnic tribalism, and the shared interests, tensions, and con-tradictions inherent in U.S.-Saudi relations. Asad AbuKhalil is the author of "Bin Laden, Islam, and America's New "War on Terrorism.""

The Arab Uprising $26.99 Barely a year after the self-immolation of a young fruit seller in Tunisia, a vast wave of popular protest has convulsed the Middle East, overthrowing long-ruling dictators and transforming the region’s politics almost beyond recognition. But the biggest transformations of what has been labeled as the “Arab Spring” are yet to come. An insider to both American policy and the world of the Arab public, Marc Lynch shows that the fall of particular leaders is but the least of the changes that will emerge from months of unrest. The far-ranging implications of the rise of an interconnected and newly-empowered Arab populace have only begun to be felt. Young, frustrated Arabs now know that protest can work and that change is possible. They have lost their fear—meanwhile their leaders, desperate to survive, have heard the unprecedented message that killing their own people will no longer keep them in power. Even so, as Lynch reminds us, the last wave of region-wide protest in the 1950s and 1960s resulted not in democracy, but in brutal autocracy. Will the Arab world’s struggle for change succeed in building open societies? Will authoritarian regimes regain their grip, or will Islamist movements seize the initiative to impose a new kind of rule? The Arab Uprising follows these struggles from Tunisia and Egypt to the harsh battles of Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, and Libya and to the cautious reforms of the region’s monarchies. It examines the real meaning of the rise of Islamist movements in the emerging democracies, and the longterm hopes of a generation of activists confronted with the limits of their power. It points toward a striking change in the hierarchy of influence, as the old heavyweights—Iran, Al Qaeda, even Israel—have been all but left out while oil-rich powers like Saudi Arabia and “swing states” like Turkey and Qatar find new opportunities to spread their influence. And it reveals how America must adjust to the new realities. Deeply informed by inside access to the Obama administration’s decision-making process and first-hand interviews with protestors, politicians, diplomats, and journalists, The Arab Uprising highlights the new fault lines that are forming between forces of revolution and counter-revolution, and shows what it all means for the future of American policy. The result is an indispensible guide to the changing lay of the land in the Middle East and North Africa.

Yemen Arab Republic $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), (in Arabic: alJamh r yah alArab yah alYaman yah] ) also known as North Yemen or Yemen (Sanaa), was a country from 1962 to 1990 in the northern part of what is now Yemen. Its capital was at Sanaa. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, northern Yemen became an independent state as the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. On 27 September 1962, revolutionaries inspired by the Arab nationalist ideology of United Arab Republic (Egyptian) President Gamal Abdul Nasser deposed the newlycrowned King Muhammad alBadr, took control of Sanaa, and established the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR). This coup detat marked the beginning of the North Yemen Civil War that pitted YAR troops assisted by the United Arab Republic (Egypt) while Saudi Arabia and Jordan supported Badrs royalist forces opposing the newly formed republic. Conflict continued periodically until 1967 when Egyptian troops were withdrawn. By 1968, following a final royalist siege of Sanaa, most of the opposing leaders reached a reconciliation; Saudi Arabia recognized the Republic in 1970.

YouthGenerated Media in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. $115.71 Broadly defined as selfexpressive media and communication artifacts, youthgenerated media have become more ubiquitous as mediamaking tools became cheaper, smaller and more accessible. Moving beyond questions of media effects and consumption, this dissertation explores why and how street racing followers, graffiti artists, web activists, demonstration organizers and others are developing and circulating media artifacts in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. What motivates them? What type of media are they developing? How do youth conceptualize, execute and distribute their media? What social, economic, cultural contexts are affecting these productions? And what are the implications of youthgenerated media on Arab discourse? Drawing on six months of fieldwork, I use a multidisciplinary comparative approach to advance an underrated issue in global media studies. To meet this objective, the dissertation is organized in eight chapters. The first three chapters provide theoretical underpinnings and methodological considerations for an empirically based and theoretically inspired framework to study youthgenerated media. Chapters four and five examine specific recent social movements in Lebanon (Independence 05 and July 06 War); while chapters six and seven analyze specific discourses related to Saudi youth leisure time (alFaragh) and employment policies (Saudization). In their totality, these cases are not an exhaustive list but an illustrative representation of youthgenerated media pulsed at a particular juncture in Arab youth history. Author: Khalil, Joseph F.

Saudi Arabia in the New Middle East (Paperback) $21.47 Saudi Arabia is one of the only countries in the Arab world that has not experienceda serious internal political crisis as a result of the region`s recent unrest. The al-Saud regime was able to maintain stability by, among other measures, raising government salaries and augmenting social welfare programs, adroitly deploying its well-trained security forces, and mobilizing a host of patronage networks ?especially the religious establishment. The regime still faces challenges, however. Most notably, a succession crisis within the ruling royal family, a severe drop in oil prices, and high unemployment among the country`s youth could threaten the regime`s long-term stability.This Council Special Report posits that, while the Arab Awakening has caused tensions in Saudi-American relations, the two countries do not face a crisis, as many analysts argue. Although Riyadh and Washington have often been at odds over how to respond to the unrest in the region, they still have significant mutual interests such as counterterrorism cooperation and balancing Iran. Accordingly, U.S. policymakers should prioritize these interests while recognizing that Saudi Arabia will not agree with American policy preferences on all issues.
