Lawsuit filed in Okla. against Islamic law ban

Article by Alta

OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma Muslim filed a federal lawsuitjordan shoes on Thursday to block a state constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by voters that would prohibit state courts from considering international law or Islamic law when deciding cases. The measure, which got 70 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s election, was one of several on Oklahoma’s ballot that critics said pandered to conservatives and would move the state further to the right.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City, seeks a air jordan retro temporary retraining order and injunction to block the election results from being certified by the state Election Board on Nov. 9. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges the ballot measure transforms Oklahoma’s Constitution into “an enduring condemnation” of Islam by singling it out for special restrictions by barring Islamic law, also known as Sharia law.

“We have a handful of politicians who have pushed an amendment onto our state ballot and then conducted a well-planned and well-funded campaign of misinformation and fear,” said Muneer Awad, who filed the suit and is executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma. “We have certain unalienable rights, and those rights cannot be taken away from me by a political campaign.” About 20,000 and 30,000 Muslims live in Oklahoma, Awad estimated. Legal experts have also questioned the measure.

Joseph Thai, a professor at the University of Oklahoma’s College of Law, said the ballot measure is “an answer in search of a problem.” He said he knows of no other state that has approved similar measures. “There is no plausible danger of international law or Sharia law overtaking the legal system,” Thai said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. He said courts only consider international law when deciding issues involving a federal treaty, a business contract or a will that incorporates international law. Thai said the ballot measure “raises thorny church-state problems as well” and could even affect a state judge’s ability to consider the Ten Commandments.

“The Ten Commandments, of course, is international law. It did not originate in Oklahoma or the United States,” Thai said. The measure is scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1. It’s author, Rep. Rex Duncan, R-Sand Springs, said it was not intended to attack Muslims but to prevent activist judges from relying on international law or Islamic law when ruling on legal cases. “The threat posed by activist judges is clear,” Duncan said.

“It shouldn’t matter what the law in France or any other European country is.” Duncan described the measure as “a pre-emptive strike” in Oklahoma, where he said activist judges are not an imminent problem. But some judges elsewhere, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, believe courts should look to the law of other countries for guidance when deciding cases, he said. Ginsburg told a meeting of international lawyers in Washington in July that American judges can learn from their foreign counterparts when seeking solutions to “trying questions.”

“The only people who would be a victim of this are activist judges,” said Duncan, who in 2007 rejected a Quran as a gift from a council created by Gov. Brad Henry, explaining that “most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology.” One Oklahoma resident said he voted for the measure on Tuesday because chaos might ensue if judges were permitted to rely on international or religious laws in their courts. “Any private organization could come in and say the judge has to rule according to our rules and regulations and overrule state laws,” Oklahoma City attorney Jerry Fent said.

Islamic holidays – key countries to visit

Article by Selena Dias

With the booming global Halal holiday industry, Muslims from UK are now spoilt for choices with tourist destinations. From Argentina to Zanzibar, there is something to cater to all tastes, needs and budget. Islamic holidays are geared towards Muslim travellers who abide by Sharia values, and offer facilities that are in accordance with the religious beliefs of Muslim tourists. Some of these include hotels that serve Halal food and do not serve alcohol and pork. Certain hotels have separate swimming pools and spa facilities for men and women, whilst others even hire people of Arab origin to provide a comfortable environment for Muslim tourists.

When it comes to Islamic holidays, there are several destinations across the world to be considered. Most of these countries have Muslim communities and mosques, as well as other treasures to be discovered. Chile in South America has a wide variety of landscapes and climates, and offers hiking in the driest place on earth in the Atacama Desert, dramatic scenery and glorious glaciers in the Patagonia region as well as access to Easter Island, which is the most remote inhabited island in the world. Chile has a small and close knit Muslim community dotted in Santiago, Coquimbo and Iquique, with the Al-Salam Mosque situated in the capital city – Santiago.

Namibia in southern Africa is another destination for Islamic holidays. Here, holiday makers can enjoy a vast diversity of sights and sounds. With the dramatic coast line bordering the Atlantic Ocean, the dusty plains of the Kalahari Desert, the amazing Etosha National Park, the monumental dunes near Sossusvlie and the green vegetation of Caprivi, there is much to enjoy in Namibia for all travellers.

Dubai is one of the world’s most visited cities and has several extravagant features – towering skyscrapers, extensive architecture and gorgeous beaches. The city of Dubai is well known as a business hub and global city, and this has driven tourism above and beyond. Famed for its shopping malls, natural attractions as well as extensive skyscrapers, Dubai is worth a visit.

Sri Lanka, South East Asia is best known for its beach holidays. However, Sri Lanka offers much more with its multi ethnic culture combining Buddhists, Tamil, Malay, Dutch, Portuguese and a significant Muslim population. Sri Lanka has amazing UNESCO heritage sites, wildlife experiences, whale and dolphin watching outings, breathtaking waterfalls and more. An Islamic holiday in Sri Lanka will fill one with memories for life. Sri Lanka has several mosques – the most famous include the Jami Ul Alfar Mosque and the Colombo Grand Mosque, two of the oldest mosques in the country.

The First Saudi Female Poet to be Published in the US

The First Saudi Female Poet to be Published in the US










Clifton, NJ (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

The first Saudi female poet to be published in the US, writer and activist Nimah Nawwab is currently on tour in the US East Coast as she addresses issues related to challenges which form the basis for her art and activism, spirituality and women in times of transition in the Middle East. She will combine readings, book signings and lectures at various organizations.

Her newly released book, Canvas of the Soul: Mystic Poems from the Heartland of Arabia, published by Tughra Books, encompasses poems of fiery love and peace from the spiritual heartland of Islam composed by a modern-day female poet descended from a long line of Meccan (from Mecca) scholars.

Reflecting the pulsing, indivisible bridge of the works of great Sufi mystics and poets to modern times, these spiritual pieces recall the beloved works of Rabi‘ah Al ‘Adawiyyah, Rumi and Hafiz. Drawing on a rich religious legacy and led by the Sufi tradition seeking Unity, the poems cover aspects related to spirituality and present-day challenges. The inspiring combination of the traditional and modern in these compositions will touch the inner souls and captivate the hearts of those interested in Higher Love in these turbulent times of transition and frantic search for peace.

Nawwab’s book tour includes lectures and book signing at Middle East Institute, Washington, DC(April, 26); Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University (April 30); East-West institute, Chicago, IL (May 16); The Brecht Forum/ASMA, New York, NY (May 22); and Book Expo America, New York, NY (June 5).

Reviews

The voice of a female Saudi Arabian poet expressing her deep spiritual yearnings in Sufi- inspired poetry is indeed a rare but also precious experience amidst all the din of strife and anger that surrounds so many Muslims today. This voice recalls that Islam emphasizes not only Divine Justice but also Divine Mercy and that the Blessed Prophet reflected not only Divine Majesty (Jalal) but also Divine Beauty (Jamal), the latter possessing a female dimension that is so evident in classical Sufi poetry. The present book is significant in that it reflects something of that classical expression of spiritual beauty in a contemporary language expressed by a female poet who hails from the land where the Blessed Prophet was born, carried out his prophetic mission and died.

-Seyyed Hossein Nasr

“Nimah is a talented writer and poet who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and address issues that, quite frankly, are often ignored as a result of timidity. I commend her efforts in this noble initiative where the arts combine in powerfully written poetic compositions and a showcasing of Islamic arts.”

Sami Yusuf

Nimah’s poems unfold the living landscapes, the horizons that hold the signs spoken of in the Qur’an, the calligraphy of the mountains dipping into the desert, the inkwell of God’s words, reflecting the signs before us into the secrets within the Book of Man.

-Shems Friedlander

New Book Does This News Make Me Look Fat? Addresses Mental Obesity Epidemic.

New Book Does This News Make Me Look Fat? Addresses Mental Obesity Epidemic.










Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) May 01, 2012

20% of Americans think the president is Muslim. 50% of the people who receive Medicare, Social Security and other programs don’t believe they get government money. Why, at the pinnacle of the information age, do so many Americans hold so many corrupted facts and beliefs? New book Does This News Make Me Look Fat? How America’s Junk Food Diet Makes Us Mentally Obese. And The Diet Plan For Fitness presents an answer and a solution.

The book argues that the public is not dumb, but rather mentally obese. A condition where fast food like media consumption (large, low quality and taste driven) media habits have made us mentally flabby, cognitively lazy and easily manipulated by emotional and fact-free arguments.

“Media is food for the mind,” says author and 20-year advertising executive Brooks Richey. “Without a nutrition plan to guide our data consumption, we tend to consume media that caters to our visceral tastes over our knowledge nutrient needs. Like eating lots of ice cream over vegetables. The build up of junk or opinion-based data takes its toll on the mind and our critical and cognitive skills.”

The book suggests managing the evaluation and consumption of media the same way you do food. Developing a palate to taste flavors in media, learning to distinguish ingredients and facts from emotional taste and flavorful opinions and use the information to create a balanced, mentally nutritional media diet using a media food pyramid.

Richey says the need for a book like this is long overdue because media and its ability to influence has never really been explained to the public in a way it can wrap its head around beyond “left/right” bias and angry accusations. A 2011 Pew Research poll says the anger at the media is at the highest level ever. Richey says that frustration comes from the public’s sense of helpless to understand its relationship with media outlets or do anything about it.

As he believes The Omnivore’s Dilemma was the wake up call for hidden dangers to people within food, Richey thinks Does This News Make Me Look Fat does the same for media. Using food as a model to present a way for ordinary people to make informed and balanced media decisions. And through a healthier media diet, improve their mental fitness and informed reasoning skills to stand up to manipulative messaging.

The book, published through imprint Omena Publishing, is scheduled for release May 1, 2012 on Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble bookstores. More on the book is available at the book’s web site http://www.junkfoodmedianation.com and the author’s site http://www.brooksrichey.com.

learn quran

Article by online quran tutor

Learn Quran The Most Eloquent SpeechThe Quran is the most eloquent speech in the whole universe. This is so because it is the speech of Allaah Almighty, Himself. It is the speech of the Creator, Himself. The One Who created speech and everything else in the universe. Indeed, who could be luckier than a person who knows how to speak the language of Allah Almighty? A Muslim must, therefore strive to learn Quran so that he, or she, can read Quran, ponder over its meanings, act upon its teachings, and lead a satisfied and contented life.Such contentment comes because a person who knows how to read Quran and understands its message automatically becomes more knowledgeable than those who do not know the teachings of the Quran because the Quran does not merely instruct one about various religious rituals, but carries the most scientifically advanced knowledge as well. The Quran informed humanity about scientific facts which were discovered by scientists many, many centuries later. For example, the Quran had stated more than fourteen hundred years ago about the earth, the moon, the sun, and other heavenly bodies travel in their orbits. This scientific fact was not discovered by scientists until several centuries later and everyone believed that earth was flat and the sun revolved around it. This, and so many other facts stated in the Quran, arouses interest in intelligent people to learn Quran and ponder over this source of immense knowledge.Yet, the Quran it is not just the boundless knowledge that one acquires from the Quran that is amazing, the most awe-inspiring thing about the Quran is the eloquent language in which the Quran speaks to a person’s heart and mind. There are many aspects of the Quran’s eloquence, including: purity of language and impressiveness; the meaning of a word is clear from the word itself; the meaning conforms to the word and is neither more, nor less, in effect and meaning; excellence of composition; harmony of speech; balanced and consistent; there is no better substitute for a word is the whole Arabic dictionary for any word in the Quran used in a certain place. The last and latest aspect of Quranic speech is the strength of the artistic imagery of Quranic speech. In the words of Dr. Abdul Radhi Muhammad Abdul Mohsen, ‘It (the Quran) expresses in an imaginary image the mental meaning, the psychological state, the tangible incident, the visible spectacle, the human model and man’s nature. Then that image is promoted and given life or renewable movement, thus the mental meaning becomes a movement, the psychological state becomes a spectacle, the human modem becomes a living person and man’s nature becomes visible. The listener forgets that he listens to a recital and imagines himself in front of a spectacle that is presented or an incident taking place in front of one’s eyes.
