Professor Roberts examines the relationship between antisemitism
and the practices of citizenship in a colonial context. She focuses
on the experience of Algerian Jews and their evolving identity as
citizens as they competed with the other populations in the colony,
including newly naturalised non-French settlers and Algerian
Muslims, for control over the scarce resources of the colonial
state. The author argues that this resulted in antisemitic violence
and hotly contested debates over the nature of French identity and
rights of citizenship. Tracing the ambiguities and tensions that
Algerian Jews faced, the book shows that antisemitism was not
coherent or stable but changed in response to influences within
Algeria, and from metropolitan France, Europe and the Middle East.
Written for a wide audience, this title contributes to several
fields including Jewish history, colonial and empire studies,
antisemitism within municipal politics, and citizenship, and adds
to current debates on transnationalism and globalization.
If you love Jesus but distrust religion there is a reason. The
reason you feel that way is Jesus came to bring the Light and the
Word to lead mankind out of the darkness. You are meant to live in
communication with the Father through the Holy Spirit every day of
your life. Mankind was created to be a spititual being within a
human body. We are being called to an awakening of a New Age fo God
that wants us to start living within the spirit as it was intended.
Man took the Word and subverted Jesus' intent and created a
religion. The seeds of deceit have mislead generations to follow
doctrines that are an abomination to the Father. Mans logic and
Pagan beliefs have been infiltrated into the churces and God wants
you to see the truth. Learn how to hear and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit. You can discern the truth for yourself and begin
to live in the New Age of true worship. If you seek the truth the
Father of us all will stretch forth his hand to lead you, to heal,
and to give us signs and wonders. He will bring miracles back to
the world ( Acts 4:30). When the Holy Spirit moves, the miracles
worked by the Son will be to glorify the Father (Acts 3:13). Isn't
it time to start living a miraclous life instead of being at the
mercy of a world that could care less about you. The world seeks to
keep you distracted but you can begin to live a life of purpose.
People have not been taught the truth about worship. Instead they
have given you words without intent and a bunch of manmade rules
and regulations. You can learn to live in His glory and grace. Put
aside the deceits of the world and start seeking the truth for
yourself. This book holds the keys to opening your eyes, your heart
and how to control the mind. Everyone is struggling, searching and
wondering what is missing. Why is this life so difficult? The
Doctor cannot write a prescription for what is troubling people.
Give me a chance to show you an alternative to the madness of the
world. God wants to restore faith to His children. The love of the
Father is reaching out to His children. Isn't it time to come back
to the truth? Answer the quickening in your spirit and take a step
closer to the truth.
This is an updated and expanded 2015 edition of a classic text on
Muslim thinking about war and peace. The new edition includes a new
introduction and translations of selected revelatory excerpts from
ISIS texts about the treatment of POWs, guidelines on the
"management of barbarity," fatwas in opposition to ISIS, and other
key topics.
A prominent rabbi and imam, each raised in orthodoxy, overcome the
temptations of bigotry and work to bridge the chasm between Muslims
and Jews
Rabbi Marc Schneier, the eighteenth generation of a distinguished
rabbinical dynasty, grew up deeply suspicious of Muslims, believing
them all to be anti-Semitic. Imam Shamsi Ali, who grew up in a
small Indonesian village and studied in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia,
believed that all Jews wanted to destroy Muslims. Coming from
positions of mutual mistrust, it seems unthinkable that these
orthodox religious leaders would ever see eye to eye. Yet in the
aftermath of 9/11, amid increasing acrimony between Jews and
Muslims, the two men overcame their prejudices and bonded over a
shared belief in the importance of opening up a dialogue and
finding mutual respect. In doing so, they became not only friends
but also defenders of each other's religion, denouncing the twin
threats of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and promoting interfaith
cooperation.
In "Sons of Abraham," Rabbi Schneier and Imam Ali tell the story
of how they became friends and offer a candid look at the
contentious theological and political issues that frequently divide
Jews and Muslims, clarifying erroneous ideas that extremists in
each religion use to justify harmful behavior. Rabbi Schneier
dispels misconceptions about chosenness in Judaism, while Imam Ali
explains the truth behind concepts like jihad and Shari'a. And on
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the two speak forthrightly on the
importance of having a civil discussion and the urgency of reaching
a peaceful solution.
As Rabbi Schneier and Imam Ali show, by reaching a fuller
understanding of one another's faith traditions, Jews and Muslims
can realize that they are actually more united than divided in
their core beliefs. Both traditions promote kindness, service, and
responsibility for the less fortunate--and both religions call on
their members to extend compassion to those outside the faith. In
this sorely needed book, Rabbi Schneier and Imam Ali challenge Jews
and Muslims to step out of their comfort zones, find common ground
in their shared Abrahamic traditions, and stand together and fight
for a better world for all.
On February 18, 2009 at 8.15 pm, Lorenzo Bouchard sent to honorable
court elected members a message under the title: BAN ISLAM (
PETITION ON GOOGLE), as it is in capital letters. He addressed it:
TO: THE WORLD COURT. He describes the message as phase 1, in
controlling Islam. For those who are concerned "about "Slavery,
especially of Women in our modern World" and asked politely the
members " please read the following item." Now you know the sender
and the subject matter and the receivers of the petition are: those
who are interested in human values and "Universal Love" which in
his belief are "THE WORLD COURT" to judge his request. The
undersigned are representing International petitioners. Their
request is to "ban on the organization called Islam." The author
responded to this petition published under the title "Banning
Islam: A Petition of Ingnorance." It is good to read. Islam
however, is the most ignored and misunderstood faith in the West,
until recent years. The author, also a poet, he is a former
professor of sociology authored more than 140 books available for
readers in both Arabic and English, and his works are translated
into dozens of other languages. Dr. Yahya, an Arab American scholar
resides in Michigan, USA, have four children and 10 grandchildren.

religious freedom that are never kept.
The truth is, the house churches of China are growing at a
phenomenal rate. Never in the history of the world have so many
people in such a short time left one belief system for another
without a hostile revolution. Lives in China are being transformed
daily by the gospel of Jesus Christ and the display of His
miraculous power.
The Underground Church demystifies the Chinese house church
movement, with real-life examples and personal testimonies from
Chinese Christians. The movement's unique characteristics both good
and bad are addressed, as well as how they have led to the church's
astonishing growth.
