Islám a budoucnost tolerance - Sam Harris, Nawaz Maajid

Jsou radikální muslimové opravdu v menšině? Jak malá je tato menšina? Zastává umírněná většina liberální hodnoty? Kdo je vlastně onen často vzývaný "umírněný" muslim? A je islám mírumilovné náboženství, které bylo "uneseno" teroristy? Na tyto a další otázky se snaží najít odpovědi americký spisovatel a neurovědec Sam Harris a egyptský liberální politik a muslim Maajid Nawaz.

The Moral Landscape - Sam Harris

Sam Harris''s first book, The End of Faith, ignited a worldwide debate about the validity of religion. In the aftermath, Harris discovered that most people - from religious fundamentalists to nonbelieving scientists - agree on one point: science has nothing to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, our failure to address questions of meaning and morality through science has now become the primary justification for religious faith.In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false - and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. And the intrusions of religion into the sphere of human values can be finally repelled: for just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim algebra, there can be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience on the front lines of our ''culture wars'', Harris delivers a game-changing book about the future of science ...

Letter to a Christian Nation - Sam Harris

"A hard-hitting polemic against religious fundamentalism" - Foreword by Richard Dawkins'' Thousands of people have written to tell me that I am wrong not to believe in God. The most hostile of these communications have come from Christians. This is ironic, as Christians generally imagine that no faith imparts the virtues of love and forgiveness more effectively than their own. The truth is that many who claim to be transformed by Christ''s love are deeply, even murderously, intolerant of criticism. While we may want to ascribe this to human nature, it is clear that such hatred draws considerable support from the Bible. How do I know this? The most disturbed of my correspondents always cite chapter and verse.''So begins Letter to a Christian Nation, Sam Harris''s hard-hitting rebuttal of religious fundamentalism and blind belief . With deceptively simple arguments, he demolishes the myths on which Christianity was built, challenges believers to open their eyes to the contradictions of their faith and warns us of the dangers of America''s ever increasing unification of Church and State.Sam Harris is the author of the New York Times bestseller The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason and winner of the ...

The End of Faith - Sam Harris

This important and timely book delivers a startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in today''s world. Sam Harris offers a vivid historical tour of mankind''s willingness to suspend reason in favour of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify harmful behaviour and sometimes heinous crimes. He asserts that in the shadow of weapons of mass destruction, we can no longer tolerate views that pit one true god against another. Most controversially, he argues that we cannot afford moderate lip service to religion -- an accommodation that only blinds us to the real perils of fundamentalism. While warning against the encroachment of organised religion into world politics, Harris also draws on new evidence from neuroscience and insights from philosophy to explore spirituality as a biological, brain-based need. He calls on us to invoke that need in taking a secular humanistic approach to solving the problems of this world.

Free Will - Sam Harris

The physiologist Benjamin Libet famously demonstrated that activity in the brain''s motor regions can be detected some 300 milliseconds before a person feels that he has decided to move. Another lab recently used fMRI data to show that some "conscious" decisions can be predicted up to 10 seconds before they enter awareness (long before the preparatory motor activity detected by Libet). Clearly, findings of this kind are difficult to reconcile with the sense that one is the conscious source of one''s actions. The question of free will is no mere curio of philosophy seminars. A belief in free will underwrites both the religious notion of "sin" and our enduring commitment to retributive justice. The Supreme Court has called free will a "universal and persistent" foundation for our system of law. Any scientific developments that threatened our notion of free will would seem to put the ethics of punishing people for their bad behaviour in question.In Free Will Harris debates these ideas and asks whether or not, given what brain science is telling us, we actually have free will?

The Four Horsemen - Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel C. Dennett, Sam Harris

_________________Includes a foreword by STEPHEN FRY''A classic for our time...And all time.'' - Michael Shermer''The words of Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and Dennett are needed more than ever. These are the heirs to Voltaire.'' - Matt RidleyKnown as the ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights – about religion and atheism, science and sense – speaks with urgency to our present age. Questions they asked of each other included: ‘Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?’ The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen. With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.

You’re the Boss - Sabina Nawaz

Former Microsoft Executive and Fortune 500 CEO coach, Sabina Nawaz, delivers a practical guide for managers, at a time when managing is harder than ever. This book explains why top performers inevitably turn into terrible managers when their behaviour, compounded by the power and pressure that come from climbing the corporate ladder, engenders toxic work cultures and saps everyone else's enthusiasm around them. The very traits that they believe have gotten them to top, may that be loose personal boundaries, perfectionism or a bullish communication style, when at the altitude of leadership, self-sabotage their efforts and that of their team. Top Executive coach and former adviser to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Sabina Nawaz, does not advocate for a leadership personality transplant, or a lengthy journey in self-development. Instead, she introduces simple strategies that you can implement today that rail-guard against the common pitfalls of management. By managing pressure and collapsing distance, Sabina ensures top performers effectively manage others, navigate relationships and communicate effectively in every context.

Political Theology and Islam - Paul L. Heck

Paul L. Heck's Political Theology and Islam offers a sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of sovereignty in Islamic society, beginning with the origins of Islam and extending to the present. This wide-ranging study sets out to answer an unassumingly tricky question: What is politics in Islam? Paul L. Heck's answer takes the form of a close analysis of sovereignty across Islamic history, approaching this concept from the perspective of political theology. As he illustrates, the history of politics in Islam is best understood as an ongoing struggle for a moral order between those who occupy positions of rulership and religious voices that communicate the ethics of Islam and educate the public in their religious and moral devotions. In this sense, sovereignty in Islam is split between ruling powers and pious communities, whose interactions range from close cooperation to outright competition. Heck shows that it is precisely through these interactions that Islamic conceptions of sovereignty are constructed and negotiated. Political Theology and Islam's first section spells out the concepts and methods for the study of politics in Islam as a struggle for a moral order, one not only involving varied claims to sovereignty but also a general determination to realize the righteousness ...

Islam - Malise Ruthven

Islam features widely in the news, often in its most militant versions, but few people in the non-Muslim world really understand the nature of Islam.Malise Ruthven''s Very Short Introduction contains essential insights into issues such as why Islam has such major divisions between movements such as the Shi''ites, the Sunnis, and the Wahhabis, and the central importance of the Shar''ia (Islamic law) in Islamic life. It also offers fresh perspectives on contemporary questions: Why is the greatest ''Jihad'' (holy war) now against the enemies of Islam, rather than the struggle against evil? Can women find fulfilment in Islamic societies? How must Islam adapt as it confronts the modern world?In this new edition, Ruthven brings the text up-to-date by reflecting upon some of the most significant changes in the Muslim world in recent years; from the emergence of al-Qaeda and the attacks on New York and Washington on 9/11 and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa.

Islam - John Tolan

A concise new narrative history of Islam that draws on the transformative insights of recent research to emphasize the diversity and dynamism of the traditionToday’s Muslim world is in upheaval: legalists and mystics engage in intense debates, radical groups invoke Sharia, Muslim immigrants in the West face prejudice and discrimination, and Muslim feminists advocate new interpretations of the Koran. At the same time, Islam is mischaracterized as unitary and unchanging by people ranging from right-wing Western politicians claiming that Islam is incompatible with democracy to conservative Muslims dreaming of returning to the golden age of the prophet. Against this contentious backdrop, this book provides an essential and timely new history of the religion in all its astonishing richness and diversity as it has been practiced by Muslims around the world, from seventh-century Mecca to today. Most popular histories of Islam continue to repeat conventional pietistic accounts. In contrast, John Tolan draws on decades of new historical research that has transformed knowledge of the origins and development of the Muslim faith. He shows how the youngest of the three great monotheisms arose in close contact with Jewish, Christian, and other religious traditions in a mixture of cultures, including Arab, Greek, Persian, ...

Who Killed Liberal Islam - Hasan Suroor

Provocative, insightful, and passionately argued, this book attempts to bring some perspective to an increasingly polarized debate on the crisis ofiberalism among Indian Muslims. It raises some profound issues at the heart of the crisis fuelled on the one hand by the growing influence of Wahhabism on Indian Islam”and on the other, by the rise of aggressive right-wing Hindu nationalism which has alienated even moderate Muslims. The book takes head-on the fundamental question: Isiberalism and Islam compatible or mutually exclusive? In doing so, it examines the way Islam is being preached and practiced both in India and abroad, to find answers to such niggling questions as: Who is a "good Muslim''? What constitutes the Muslim identity? Why do Muslims across the world remain silent instead of raising their voice for reform of regressive practices such as stoning? The decline ofiberal Islam in India, it argues, flows from the wider crisis in Islam globally. Upholding the syncretic "Ganga-Jamni tehzeeb'' that characterized Indian Islam, it tries to bring back the emphasis oniberal values of acceptance and inclusivity. It also dissuades secularists against trying to push through sweeping reforms in India before the community is ready for it, warning of a possible hardline ... Unknown localization key: "more"

War and Peace in Islam

No word in English evokes more fear and misunderstanding than ''jihad''. To date the books that have appeared on the subject in English by Western scholars have been either openly partisan and polemical, or subtly traumatised by so many acts and images of terrorism in the name of jihad, and by the historical memory of nearly one thousand four hundred years of confrontation between Islam and Christianity. War and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses of Jihad aims to change this. Written by a number of Islamic religious authorities and Muslim scholars, this work presents the views and teachings of mainstream Sunni and Shi''i Islam on the subject of jihad. It authoritatively presents jihad as it is understood by the majority of the world''s 1.7 billion Muslims today, and supports this understanding with extensive detail and scholarship. Though jihad is the central concern of War and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses of Jihad, the range of the essays is not confined exclusively to the study of jihad.

Worlds of Islam - James McDougall

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history’ Eugene RoganFrom its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

The history of Islam, from its emergence in early seventh century Arabia and its explosive growth into the wider Middle East, is often portrayed as a story of the struggle with and conquest of the Christian people of Greater Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. Alternatively, the?appearance of Islam is characterized as being welcomed by the conquered, whose existing monotheistic faiths of Christianity and Judaism were tolerated and even allowed to flourish under Muslim rule. In this concise but in depth survey of the almost nine centuries that passed from the beginning of the spread of Islam up to the Ottoman Turkish conquest of Syria and Egypt beginning in 1516, Constantin Panchenko offers a more complex portrayal of this period that opens up fresh vistas of understanding, focusing on the impact that the appearance of Islam had on the many forms of Christianity they encountered, principally the Orthodox Christian communities of the Middle East. In particular he illuminates the interplay of their Greek cultural heritage with increasing Arabization over time. This is essential reading for those who want to gain an understanding of the history of the Middle East in these centuries and of how the faith of Orthodox ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The House of Islam - Husain Ed

''A powerful corrective'' Guardian ''This should be compulsory reading'' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads‘For anyone interested in the future of Islam, both in Britain and the Islamic world, this is an important book’ The Times The gulf between Islam and the West is widening. A faith rich with strong values and traditions, observed by nearly two billion people is seen by the West as something to be feared rather than understood. Sensational headlines and hard-line policies spark enmity, while ignoring the feelings, narratives and perceptions that preoccupy Muslims today. The House of Islam seeks to provide entry to the minds and hearts of Muslims the world over. It introduces us to the kindness of Mohammed, the beauty of Islamic art and the permeation of the divine in public spaces; and the tension between mysticism and literalism that still threatens the religion. Ed Husain expertly and compassionately guides us through the nuances of Islam and its people, contending that the Muslim world need not be a stranger to the West, nor its enemy, but a peaceable ally.

Queens of Islam - Tom Verde

From Pakistan to Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan to Nigeria, from Senegal to Turkey, it is not unusual in modern times for women in Muslim-majority countries to be appointed and/or elected to high offices, including heads of state. Nor has it ever been. Stretching back nearly to the founding of Islam itself, women have held positions of political power in numerous Islamic nations and empires. Some ascended to office in their own right; others served as regents for incapacitated husbands or male successors then too young to rule. Some proved insightful and able administrators, courageous military commanders, or both; others differed little from their equally flawed, power-hungry male counterparts, and sowed the seeds of their own downfalls. Queens Of Islam examines the lives of fifteen of the most remarkable female leaders of Muslim dynasties, empires, and caliphates - from Islam''s earliest centuries through the end of the seventeenth century. Their stories demonstrate that throughout the faith''s long history there were many women who achieved positions of power and served as effective rulers, revered by those they governed while being respected - even feared - by their contemporary world leaders. Entertaining and informative, Queens Of Islam is rife with palace intrigue, sex scandals, power-grabs, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ježíš Kristus a islám - Lukáš Lhoťan

V předkládané knize autor zkoumá, jak se k učení Ježíše Krista staví islám, a zabývá se otázkou ideologických a teologických rozporů mezi těmito dvěma světovými náboženstvími. Lhoťan se tak snaží překlenout mnohdy příliš povrchní pohled na islám převažující v České republice. Kniha poukazuje nejen na zásadní rozdíly mezi interpretací postavy Ježíše Krista v islámu a křesťanství, nýbrž také poukazuje na problémové části mezináboženského dialogu, kdy křesťané mnohdy podléhají strachu z kritiky kontroverzních části islámu. Přitom by však části islámu, jež jsou neslučitelné nejen s křesťanstvím, ale i s civilizovanou společností ctící humanitu a lidskou svobodu, neměly být přehlíženy.V Čechách a na Moravě bývá součástí islámské misie místy až agresivní a lživá agitace zaměřující se proti křesťanství, kdy je muslimy využíváno protikřesťanských a protikatolických nálad v české společnosti. Tato kniha proto představuje sumarizaci základních faktů potřebných pro pochopení problému islámu a islamizace, a to nejen křesťany, ale i ateisty. Byť je autor bývalým muslimem, jenž se po studiu života Ježíše Krista přiklonil ke křesťanství, uctívá jako zásadní hodnotu danou Bohem právo na svobodu přesvědčení. Jeho kniha tedy není zamýšlena jako prezentace pozitivního obrazu křesťanství na úkor islámu či ateismu, spíše má být české společnosti jakýmsi varováním, poněvadž vlivem současné expanze islámu ...

Islám a terorismus - David Nekola

Lze spojovat islám, náboženství staré přes 1400 let, s násilím? Je islám zdrojem současného terorismu, který se někteří zdráhají nazvat islámským, stejně jako odmítají označení Islámský stát? Některé pasáže Koránu jsou mírné a nevybízejí k násilí, některé naopak požadují zotročení a zabíjení nevěřících, avšak i samotná Bible obsahuje násilné příběhy a s křesťanstvím se též pojila krvavá období. Odlišuje se tedy islám od křesťanství? A co Korán a Bible?

Islám a křesťanství v Bibli - Sayed R. Ali

Křesťanství a islám jsou dvě velká světová náboženství, obě s více než miliardou následovníků. Přestože mají z praktického hlediska mnoho společného, zeje mezi nimi hluboká propast. Jedním z hlavních důvodů je nedostatek informací a vzájemného pochopení. Aby nám naše společné dědictví mohlo být ku prospěchu, musíme hledat možné cesty vzájemného sblížení. Obsahem této publikace není nic nového, jedná se pouze o shrnutí některých citátů z Bible, které dokládají tvrzení muslimů, že islám není novým náboženstvím s cizími zásadami a základním učením. Muslimové dnes následují učení všech Božích proroků (jak je najdeme v Bibli). Právě muslimové se nejvíce řídí učením Ježíše Krista (mír s ním) a zaslouží si tedy, aby se jim říkalo "praví následovníci Ježíše Krista". Islám je náboženstvím, které bychom mohli nazvat "biblickým", protože prvky islámské víry a praxe jsou v Bibli jasně patrné, a to jak v tzv. Starém, tak i v tzv. Novém zákoně. A právě to se snaží tato publikace objasnit.

Introducing Islam - Ziauddin Sardar

Islam is one of the world''s great monotheistic religions. Islamic culture, spanning 1,500 years, has produced some of the finest achievements of humanity. Yet the religion followed by a fifth of humankind is too often seen in the West in terms of fundamentalism, bigotry and violence- a perception that couldn''t be more wrong.Introducing Islam recounts the history of Islam from the birth of Prophet Muhammad in the 6th century to its status as a global culture and political force today. Charting the achievements of Muslim civilisation, it explains the nature and message of the Qur''an, outlines the basic features of Islamic law, and assesses the impact of colonialism on Muslim societies.Ziauddin Sardar and Zafar Abbas Malik show how Muslims everywhere are trying to live their faith and are shaping new Islamic ideas and ideals for a globalised world.

Islam - Karen Armstrongová

One of the world''s foremost commentators on religious affairs on the history (and destiny) of the world''s most misunderstood religion.In the public mind, Islam is a religion of extremes: it is the world''s fastest growing faith; more than three-quarters of the world''s refugees are Islamic; it has produced government by authoritarian monarchies in Saudi Arabia and ultra-republicans in Iran. Whether we are reading about civil war in Algeria or Afghanistan, the struggle for the soul of Turkey, or political turmoil in Pakistan or Malaysia, the Islamic context permeates all these situations.Karen Armstrong''s elegant and concise book traces how Islam grew from the other religions of the book, Judaism and Christianity; introduces us to the character of Muhammed; and demonstrates that for much of its history, the religion has been a force for enlightenment that promoted liberties for women and allowed the arts and sciences to flourish.ISLAM shows how this progressive legacy is today often set aside as the faith struggles to come to terms with the economic and political weakness of most of its believers and with the forces of modernity itself.
