[The Idea of India] The Idea of India » Archive » Beyond Boundaries by Pankaj Mishra: Even the most modernized and secular Indians cannot suppress their consciousness of this pre-modern India. “I am aware,” Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s Cambridge-educated first prime minister, wrote in his last will, “that I too, like all of us, am a link in that uninterrupted chain which finds its origin in the dawn of history, in India’s immemorial past.” The persistence of this uninterrupted tradition offers other possibilities for defining the self, and for being in the world, beyond the singular identities and secular constraints enforced by hyper-rational modernity.

[Buzzle: What's the Buzz?] Iran and South Azerbaijan - The Azeri Search for National ...: In addition to northern Republic of Azerbaijan, Azeri is also the indigenous language of Turkic peoples in Iraq as well as in Eastern Anatolia.12 The origination of an earlier written Azeri literature can be safely traced back to the famous epic of Dede Qorqut Kitabi (the Book of Dede Qorqud), the narratives of which were orally materialized in pre-Islamic Caucasia and were written down around the 6th and 7th centuries. The book is an invaluable collection of epos and stories, bearing witness to the language, the way of life, religions, traditions and social norms of peoples inhabiting large portions of Central Asia, parts of Caucasia and the Middle East centuries before the emergence of Islam.

[International Orthodox Christian News] His Holiness Abba Paulos: Smash the idols: And herein lies the idiosyncrasy of the world's oldest church, which distinguishes it from all other churches: the antic relic held sacred, and placed in the Chapel of Saint Mary of Zion, in the ancient town of Axum, the cradle of Ethiopian Christian civilisation, the sellata Muse, is a thoroughly Jewish object. Indeed, the Ethiopian Church is perhaps the only Christian temple in the world to claim as its most sacred treasure a Jewish holiest of holies.

[eBooks.com : Religion] eBooks.com - The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror eBook: It is in the realm of politics-domestic, regional, and international alike-that we see the most striking differences between Islam and the rest of the world. The heads of state or ministers of foreign affairs of the Scandinavian countries and the United Kingdom do not, from time to time, foregather in Protestant summit conferences, nor was it ever the practice of the rulers of Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and the Soviet Union, temporarily forgetting their political and ideological differences, to hold regular meetings on the basis of their current or previous adherence to the Orthodox Church.

[1. MajorityRights.com (main blog)] Why European Christianity cannot ever accumulate to potency: came on here and was blandishing a psychological critique which applies to all political groups, yet viewing it as uniquely pertinent to white nationalism, or modern grad students in English literature write papers about how our forebears had insufficient knowledge of the “Other”, whereas they are merely articulating the impossibility of perfect knowledge generally in human affairs - you come at me with the uniqueness and thus supposed idiosyncratic flawedness of my own spiritual knowledge. Not bearing JC’s stamp it supposedly has no relevance or lacks the highest relevance.

The Zionist movement, which called for the creation of a Jewish nation-state, emerged as a response to the political crisis facing Western European Jews at the turn of the 19th century, as the breakdown of empires stirred nationalist passions that threatened the status of Jews in many European countries.

[BBC Blog Network] BBC - Justin Webb's America: Obama v Cheney: Stupid enough to trade a prosperous relatively benign dictatorship if you were not involved in politics where there was opportunity, jobs, and good relations with the rest of the world for one that has brought them poverty, isolation, a completely unnecessary devastating war with Iraq, enmity and fear from much of the rest of the world, a repressive theocratic dictatorship with the promise of much worse to come all for the sake of being ruled by lunatics who place more value on life in the next world than in this one. Stupid enough to frighten two major military powers who have vast arsenals of nuclear weapons at their disposal with threats backed up by development of long range and short range missiles, what appears to most of the world to be a nuclear weapons program, and terrorist armies that have taken over one country Lebanon already and threatens the rest of the region.

Ernest Wilson « Articles Links & Blog: Now it is the Arab world, with billions in oil wealth, which has joined in the cry: “Death to the Jew!” Pagan Rome, and then papal Rome at the Inquisition, as well as Russian pogroms, the gas ovens in the extermination camps of Europe, and the Nuremberg trials, have all piled up the evidence that Satan has employed every known tactic to exterminate the seed of Jacob.

[FP Passport] The Israeli-Palestinian doomsday scenario | FP Passport: While Netenyahu defends the Gaza operation in the same terms as Churchill defended Dresden (even going so far as to link the two himself) he forgets the very humanity of his victims, and the fact that unlike the Germans, Hamas does not pose a grand, existential threat to Israel alone. Likewise with settlements, Israel acts like its a huge sacrifice to stop settlements without acknowledging that the practice justifies violent resistence in itself, because they are so beyond hearing the voice of the other.
