LAURENT LAMOTE 11 disputes: The power of the national religious Guide and the relations between the Islamic gouvemement and the traditionnal religious leaders after the death in December 1993 of Reza Golpayegani, the last of the traditional Grand Ayatollahs who comand widespread respect The rights of the Sunni minority of 15 million people, whose religion has not been recognized like that of the small Jewish, Christian or Zoroastrian minorities. The Rupture Between the Government-appointed and Traditional Clergy Both political leaders and the traditional clergy from schools of theology in Qum and Mashhad increasingly, though still indirectly, criticize the religious office of Guide of the Revolution, on which the Constitution is grounded. Partisans of the Islamic Republic accepted or supported Imam Khomeinis absolute power because of his personality and as necessary to the revolution. But these reasons no longer hold. Major Shiite dignitaries have always thought that the office of a single Guide, as established by Khomeini, ran counter to the principles of Shiism--all the more so since the current Guides whole career has been in politics, not in religion. Since Ayatollah Golpayegani died on December 9, 1993, there is no longer anyone who commands wide support to assume the theological duties as the Spiritual Guide of ( marjai taqlicO Shiites throughout the world, a vital post in traditonal Shiism--unlike the political post of Guide of the Revolution introduced in 1979. The deep division, which has always existed, between the Islamic Republic and the traditional clergy is now fully public. While cleverly putting to use a show of strong unity among the clergy, the Republic has set up a religious hierarchy imposed from above--by the Guide o. . .

In The Jesus Christ Chronicles, Wazir Kooloo shares a comprehensive examination of the negative Islamic schools of thought about Jesus while analyzing past mistakes and answering long-held questions. While relying on the verses within the Holy Quran as a starting point, Kooloo takes spiritual seekers on a journey that delves into the unknown true facts surrounding Mother Mary, her parents, and her initiation into the services of the Temple; the historical account of Jesus pilgrimage to India; and the Prophets journey to Mount of Olives where He is told He must suffer great persecution for the honor of God. Kooloo follows the story of Jesus life to 33 AD-a time in history that many biblical scholars refer to as the Year of the Passion of Christ, when an event unraveled that changed the course of religious history forever. The Jesus Christ Chronicles utilizes well-researched facts as it shares a fresh perspective on religion, philosophy, and reality. This item ships from multiple locations.

Paganism is a form of pre-modern fascism. Most religious orthodoxies are of course premised on pagan cults. Modern fascism uses the guise of spirituality in the form of paganism to spiritually justify its assault on civilization. When the two are fused - spiritual paganism with modern fascism - you have a violent and hate-filled philosophy that finds its expression in Hitlerism, Communism and Islam. This book compares these three modern forms of an age old evil that has been the main obstacle to human progress. This book was written after extensive research, travel, interviews and help from others more knowledgeable on certain topics. I dont pretend to be an expert in all the areas of historical political and economic development. Nor am I posing as the expert investigator on any of the chosen themes that populate the work. Thousands of more competent analysts exist in each area. I wrote this book to objectively narrate a common thread and threat in human history, namely that of Fascism and its orientalist genetic composition. It is important in life to impartially record reality, to see the world for what it is and to defend our civilization against utopias, fantasies and evil. In this regard we need more literature and expositions which make the link between the various ideologies which are in essence pagan cults; their commonality throughout history; and their threat to civilization. It is the threat posed to civilization by immoderate Islam - another type of pagan cult - that prompted the creation of this summary work. Let me explain as well what this book is not. It is not a diatribe against individual Muslims; it is not a declaration of hate against any non-Western people, lands or empires; it is not intended to be the most detailed study of any of the fascist cults past or present; and it is not intended to supplant any of the existing literature on Nazism, Stalinism, or Islam. The book does intend however, to show a common framework amongst the pagan ideologies that have tried to end mankinds development and extinguish liberty. To keep the book short and concise I have chosen to focus on three primary cults, namely; Hitlers Germany, Lenin-Stalinism in Russia, and Islam. I could have discussed other cults and movements but the essential points I want to make can be given by examining these three ideological fascisms. The conclusions formed by such a comparison can be extended to various other criminal ideologies and regimes throughout mankinds history. I hope the book clarifies some ideals, opens some minds and gives some food for thought. You can read the book in its entirety or skip to a chapter that is of more interest. I have tried to keep all the footnotes down to a minimum, though I do source all ideas that are not my own. If you have any questions on sources, content or where my ideas come from then please ask. As for people who constantly harp that criticism is akin to hate speech, do some reading, live in a fascist state and understand what freedom really means.

The result of a seminarâs proceedings, the volume presents an understanding of God in various religions and traditions around the world. It examines the concept of the Brahman in Hindu religious thought, and God as forming the relationship between the unmanifest Brahman and the manifest Universe. It views the approach of the Semitic religions that make absolute difference between God and Man. It discusses the glory associated with God, the nature of the Supreme God and His lesser denominations as well as the modern notion of God as a human creation and residing in the mind of Man. It delves into the core of the Upanishadic thought, God in Tibetan thought, signs of Allah and his attributes in Islam, God in the Zoroastrian faith, Buddhism and Jainism vis-a-vis the notion of divinity and the Christian conception of the divine. It deals with God in the Shamanic cosmogonies of some Adivasi groups of eastern India and the syncretic folk deities of Sundarbans in West Bengal. The scholars interpret the cosmological, teleological and ontological proofs, in various forms, to understand the reality of God. The volume, with its painstaking studies, will prove invaluable to scholars and readers, mainly those associated with religious studies.

After careful serious thought and study I came to a conclusion that the main factor is Muslims rulers, Molvis, Mullahs and imams were and are as a general rule unfortunately a default profession coupled with their ulterior motives. These situations created a big vacuum in rightful interpretation, compassionate reasoning, and purpose, most importantly in forming an idea in the mind with suitableness of complex and refine contents of each ayat (verse) of divine message; especially the revelation of divine message is in Arabic in form of speech. Quranic Arabic is too rich and complicated to be interpreted and acted upon. Muslims need elite scholarship to undertake to solve this problem that coordinates all contemporary societies and communities for peaceful co-existence with respect and progress.
