...fascism or totalitarianism (or the rest) will not be able to grow in this our nation. It could quite easily grow. Fascism and the like constitute a mode of thought independent of whether skin color be white or black or ripe sawo , etc. We must be careful that fascism and the like do not grow in this democratic nation of ours which holds to the sovereignty of Almighty God. This is the responsibility of every Muslim. Racism Is a Monstrous Disease Racism is...

...and appreciations of religiosity may change such as those brought about by new interpret-ations of the religion. In response to the various forces and phenomena that seem to challenge its civilizational identity, an ethnic-religious based culture may take various measures aimed at preserving and strengthening that identity. It is also possible that identity itself is thoroughly examined even to the point of unintentionally creating a civilizational crisis. In the modern period, we can see some of these factors at work such as the large-scale entry of...

...on democratization in the Muslim world but in their actions support repressive dictatorships for fear that authentically Muslim governments will themselves be antidemocratic. The perception that Islamic states threaten democracy are baseless and border on racism. Jan urges his audience to establish a “modern Islamic republic,” which will be characterized by an effective separation of the four branches of government (the legislature, the executive, the courts, and the media), ensuring the conformity of laws with the shari‘ah , and representing the interests and...

...the two great inspirational figures and renewers of Islam in the early modern age. In his breathless work Milestones , Sayyid Qutb wrote, “We ought not . . . start looking for similarities with Islam and the current systems or in current religions or current ideas. We reject these systems in the East as well as in the West. We reject them all.” 20 This was thoroughly consist-ent with his premise that all existing States, the so-called Muslim States included, were still—or again—tarrying in the pre-Islamic world of unbelief ( jahiliyya ). 21 That...

...and prayer for them, with a few new touches. v. 5 , ‘Let your gentleness ( epieikēs ) be known to everyone’: most versions have something similar. But the basic sense of epieikēs is ‘seemly’, decent or equitable; the phrase could be a last word on good citizenship, much as in 1 Pet 3:16 . ‘The Lord is near’: in joy or suffering, or if the latter leads to death, all the nearer. v. 6 , ‘Do not worry about anything’: as Paul has demonstrated regarding liberty or captivity, life or death (and is about to add, plenty or hardship). The basis is a perfect...

...concepts of race and racism. Scholars agree that colonialism and imperialism led to the reification of ‘race’ as a principal organizing feature of modern societies, but there is less consensus on how race or racism is to be theoretically conceptualized. John Solomos and Les Back have acknowledged that efforts to theorize race and racism necessarily involve a difficult walk across shifting and constantly contested terrain. Scholars have pointed to the transhistorical and unfixed nature of racial meanings, and thus the multiplicity of forms in which ideas...

...the end of the first chapter of modern racism. However, an equally devastating chapter of modern racism motivated by Western racial tyranny unfolded during the early twentieth century as the more technologically and militarily advanced European powers embarked on new forms of racial conquest, imperialism, and worldwide colonization of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. No viable lands or people were spared the horrors of this Western colonial expansion as Europeans battled over lands and people to exploit with the new and improved tools of industry,...
