rethinking ourselves anwar ibrahim

A groundbreaking exploration of justice, democracy and Islamophobia, inviting us to reconsider our assumptions and build a more equitable future.Change has run amok! Technology advances by the minute, and much of what we think we know about the world fades in front of our eyes. How we are, how we know, how we live our daily lives—all shifting quicker than we can cope with.Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia’s tenth Prime Minister, asks how we might rethink ourselves for these confusing, uncertain and volatile times, and shape fairer, more sustainable futures. Anwar’s passion is rooted in experience: he spent, in total, over a decade behind bars after three separate miscarriages of justice, from his days as a student activist to his time as Leader of the Opposition.Alongside reflections on his time in prison are critical investigations into truth, justice, post-colonialism, Islamophobia, democracy and global order. Anwar assembles ideas from East and West, North and South, to explore how we can create a new inclusive synthesis for a good society and world. Vividly expressed, expertly dissected, this is a timely book for our turbulent age.

Věděli jste, že zakladatel islámu Mohammed provozoval sex s devítiletou dívkou? Že podle islámských posvátných textů bude matka Ježíše Krista Marie v islámském ráji manželkou Mohammeda? Samotné muslimské posvátné texty hovoří o tom, že Mohammed přijímal Alláhova koránská zjevení oblečen do ženských šatů. Těmto a mnoha podobným morálním a charakterovým vlastnostem zakladatele islámu se věnují egyptský koptský kněz Zakaria Botros a Raymond Ibrahim, analytik z David Horowitz Freedom Center, ve svých přednáškách. Zakaria Botros (*1934) byl roku 1950 vysvěcen v Káhiře na kněze. Egyptské úřady jej dvakrát uvěznily za kázání evangelia muslimům. Po svém nuceném odchodu z vlasti působil jako kněz v Austrálii a v Anglii. Jelikož patřil Botros mezi hlavní kritiky islámu v Egyptě, vyhlásila teroristická organizace Al-Káida za jeho vraždu odměnu 60 milionů amerických dolarů. Botros je znalý islámské historie, teologie a Koránu, díky čemuž mají jeho přednášky na přívržence islámu zkázonosný dopad. Raymond Ibrahim (*1973) se narodil v USA rodině egyptských přistěhovalců z řad koptské menšiny. Promoval na California State University Fresno (titul M. A.) přičemž se ve své diplomové práci zabýval tématem vojenských střetnutí islámu a Byzance na počátku vzniku islámu. Ibrahim pracoval jako odborný asistent pro oddělení Blízkého východu Knihovny Kongresu USA a působil na postu náměstka ředitele pro Middle East Forum. V současné době působí jako specialista na islám mj. v konzervativní nadaci David Horowitz Freedom Center.

A lively, informative, and engaging guide to gender by an author-illustrator who helps readers understand the multiplicity of answers to “What even is gender?”Queer, cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, androgynous, maverique, intergender, genderfluid. Louie and their cat (a.k.a. “Cat”) take you on a journey through the world of gender—without claiming to have it all figured out or knowing the perfect definition for this widely complex subject. Gender is tricky to understand because it’s a social construct intersecting with many other parts of our identity, including class, race, age, religion. For a long time, people thought of gender as binary: male/female, pirate/princess, sports/shopping. Now, we’re starting to understand it’s not that simple. That’s what this book is about: figuring out what gender means, one human being at a time, and giving us new ways to let the world know who we are.Boy, girl, either/or, neither/nor, everything in between: gender is a spectrum, and it’s hard to know where you fit, especially when your position isn’t necessarily fixed—and the spectrum keeps expanding. That’s where Rethinking Gender can help: it gives you a toolbox for empathy, understanding, and self-exploration. Louie’s journey includes a deep dive into the historical context of LGBTQIA+ rights activism and the evolution of gender discourse, politics, and laws—but it also explores these ideas through the diversity of expressions and experiences of people today.In Rethinking Gender Louie offers a real-world take on what it means to be yourself, see yourself, and see someone else for who they are, too. Questions explored in Rethinking Gender include: What is cisgender? Dysphoria? Non-binary? Intersex? Intersectionality?Are sex and gender biological? Cultural? Social? Personal?What do race, religion, age, and education have to do with it?How do we recognize stereotypes, and what can we do about them?Do physical characteristics determine sex, and, if not, what does?How common is it not to fit in the box checked M or F?When is surgery or medical intervention called for, and who gets to decide?How have ideas about gender changed over time?What is gender identity, how do we know ours, and how do we talk to someone whose gender is different from our own?

Tak dlouho se nedařilo ukončit válku v Sýrii, až jsme otupěli a přestali vnímat, co se v této zkoušené zemi děje. Syrský františkán, otec Ibrahim Alsabagh, se spolubratry Aleppo a jeho obyvatele neopustil ani v těch nejhorších okamžicích. A napsal o tom strhující knihu. Plnou každodenního strádání, ale také naděje a znamení, že Bůh člověka neopouští ani v nejbezvýchodnější situaci. Kde celé rodiny ohrožuje podvýživa, kde je čím dál dražší bydlení a nedostupná zdravotní péče, tam církev s vírou v Krista a s láskou k bližnímu usiluje o síť vztahů a brání chaosu. Kde dopadají rakety teroristů na domy nejchudších i na kostely, kde je nedostatek elektřiny i pitné vody, tam otec Ibrahim a jeho spolubratři dodávají útěchu, rozdávají potravinové balíčky a vodu z vlastní studny.

By combining their expertise in English literature and anthropology, Ibrahim Muhawi and Sharif Kanaana bring to these folktales an integral method of study that unites a sensitivity to language with a deep appreciation for culture.  As native Palestinians, the authors are well suited to their task. Over the course of several years, they collected tales from the regions of the Galilee, Gaza, and the West Bank, determining which were the most widely known and appreciated and selecting the ones that best represent the Palestinian Arab folk narrative tradition. Great care has been taken with the translations to maintain the original flavor, humor, and cultural nuances in tales that are at once earthy and whimsical and that also parallel stories found in the larger Arab folk tradition. Featuring a new foreword by Ibtisam Barakat, Speak, Bird, Speak Again is an essential text in Palestinian culture and a must for those who want to deepen their understanding of an enduring people.

Rethinking Philosophy in Light of the Bible analyzes the ideas that are central to the philosophy of Kant, Hegel, and Kierkegaard in order to show that they are biblical in origin, both ontologically and historically. Brayton Polka argues that Schopenhauer has an altogether false conception of the fundamental ideas of the Bible—creation, the Fall of Adam and Eve, and covenantal love—and of Christianity, which leaves his philosophy irredeemably contradictory, as he himself acknowledges. The aim, then, is to show that our modern values, the values that constitute modernity, are biblical in origin. It is only when we come to understand that modernity is biblical from the beginning and that the Bible is modern unto the end that we are able to overcome the opposition, so evident today, between philosophy and theology, between reason and faith, and between the secular and the religious. Polka makes central the distinction that Kierkegaard draws between Christianity and Christendom: Christianity represents the coming into historical existence of the single individual; Christendom represents Christian values that are rationalized in pagan terms. As Kierkegaard shows us, if God has always existed eternally, then he has never existed eternally, then he has never come into historical existence for the single individual. The distinction between Christianity and Christendom is the distinction not between faith and reason, but between truth and idolatry. While theology and philosophy each represent the truth of Christianity, Schopenhauer’s idolatrous concepts of faith, no less than of reason, represent Christendom.

Americans spend hours every day sitting in traffic. And the roads they idle on are often rough and potholed, their exits, tunnels, guardrails, and bridges in terrible disrepair. According to transportation expert Robert Poole, this congestion and deterioration are outcomes of the way America provides its highways. Our twentieth-century model overly politicizes highway investment decisions, short-changing maintenance and often investing in projects whose costs exceed their benefits. In Rethinking America’s Highways, Poole examines how our current model of state-owned highways came about and why it is failing to satisfy its customers. He argues for a new model that treats highways themselves as public utilities—like electricity, telephones, and water supply. If highways were provided commercially, Poole argues, people would pay for highways based on how much they used, and the companies would issue revenue bonds to invest in facilities people were willing to pay for. Arguing for highway investments to be motivated by economic rather than political factors, this book makes a carefully-reasoned and well-documented case for a new approach to highways that is sure to inform future decisions and policies for U.S. infrastructure.

Ireland has changed almost out of recognition during those decades, and Fintan O''Toole''s life coincides with that arc of transformation. The book is a brilliant interweaving of memories (though this is emphatically not a memoir) and engrossing social and historical narrative. This was the era of Eamon de Valera, Jack Lynch, Charles Haughey and John Charles McQuaid, of sectarian civil war in the North and the Pope''s triumphant visit in 1979, but also of those who began to speak out against the ruling consensus – feminists, advocates for the rights of children, gay men and women coming out of the shadows. We Don''t Know Ourselves is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand modern Ireland.

Hudební CD - Mladý německý klavírista a skladatel Carlos Cipa (ročník 1990) vytvořil velmi komorní a intimní album, ve kterém je hlasitost sólového nástroje záměrně omezená jen na zcela nezbytné minimum. Mladý německý klavírista a skladatel Carlos Cipa (ročník 1990) vytvořil velmi komorní a intimní album, ve kterém je hlasitost sólového nástroje záměrně omezená jen na zcela nezbytné minimum. Zato máme možnost slyšet všechny vedlejší „ruchy” klavírní hry, nasnímané tentokrát z extrémní blízkosti. Vlastní hudba je spíše pocitová a ve svém vyznění téměř relaxační, nejde tedy o žádné hlubokomyslné „rozkrývání duše” nebo vynalézavé formální experimenty. Nahrávka vznikla v průběhu několika málo týdnů v podstatě jako „domácí” improvizace a tento odlehčený dojem si podrželo i výsledné album.
