  • Religion and Politics and Their Impact on Civilization-Building in Islam and the West
    RELIGION AND POLITICS AND THEIR IMPACT ON CIVILIZATION-BUILDING IN ISLAM AND THE WEST Seif el Din Majdi 1 – Introduction t might be appropriate to begin by asking this crucial question: Are religion and politics consecutive? That Iis to say, did one of them come before the other or are they overlapping and inextricably linked? This question will determine the angle from which we approach our subject and the substance of what I have to say. When I look at Western history I find myself forced to conclude that it would be more accurate to regard them as consecutive, since Christianity entered the West’s political arena as a “welcome guest” of the state (which at that time was the Roman Empire). When it arrived, Rome already had a long political tradition and well established and effective political institutions, so the fusion of religion and politics was something that occurred subsequently. However, when I look at Islam I find that the two are inseparable because in the environment in which Professor of Usul al Din at al Zaytuna University, Tunis. 139 RELIGION AND POLITICS AND THEIR IMPACT ON CIVILIZATION-BUILDING IN ISLAM Islam was revealed no state existed, nor were there any effective political institutions. In fact, it was Islam itself that was destined to establish a state, so the relationship between religion and politics was founded on the premise that religion was the basis of an ideal existence in this world and the next, and accordingly, that it was the framework for all the institutions established by Muslim civilization, as well as the yardstick for all Muslim behaviour.

Gros plan sur le casting hétéroclite d'une réception, le 14 octobre dernier, en l'honneur de l'ambassadeur de la République islamique, sur le départ. Le somptueux "cocktail dînatoire" offert le 14 octobre à la résidence de l'ambassadeur d'Iran à Paris a attiré une brochette de convives célèbres. Parmi eux, l'ancien ministre des Affaires étrangères et ex- président du Conseil constitutionnel Roland Dumas, ainsi que le chef historique du Front national Jean-Marie Le Pen, familier des réceptions de la République islamique, flanqué de son épouse Jany et d'un garde du corps à la carrure de catcheur. Dans les salons cossus de la rue Fortuny (XVIIe arrondissement), on croisait aussi l'universitaire Gilles Kepel, le député UMP de Seine-et-Marne Didier Julia, le trader pétrolier Xavier Houzel, que le site Bakchich.info désigne au côté du journaliste du Figaro Renaud Girard comme l'un des deux émissaires officieux envoyés au début du mois par Bernard Kouchner à Damas (Syrie) auprès de Khaled Mechaal, stratège politique du Hamas, pour négocier la libération du caporal israélien Gilad Shalit, ainsi qu'une cohorte de diplomates tricolores à la retraite. REUTERS/Regis Duvignau Tous avaient tenu à saluer l'ambassadeur Ali Ahani, qui quittera Jean-Marie Le Pen et sa femme ses fonctions dans quelques jours pour rejoindre Téhéran.

  • N° 109. Décembre 2002. Attentes
    N° 109. Décembre 2002. Attentes Dans une actualité africaine riche depuis fin octobre, on trouve plus de confirmations que de nouveautés : des processus de négociation (Congo-K, Soudan) qui durent tellement qu’ils s’enlisent, qui durent trop pour des populations à bout de souffle (on voit leur état en Angola) ; des “acteurs” égaux à eux-mêmes, à leur capacité de nuisance dans leur pays (Sassou, Déby, Guelleh, Eyadema, etc. etc.), voire au-delà de leurs frontières, tels Kadhafi et son allié Compaoré ; la Françafrique qui se réajuste ; le sida qu’on ne soigne pas ; les bruits d’une guerre proche pour davantage de pétrole, dont la consommation transforme la planète en serre… Peu de victoires ou de grands soulagements, donc. En Côte d’Ivoire, le seul point positif est que l’implosion menaçante a été reculée par des discussions au résultat très incertain : on en aura beaucoup dit, et illustré le “sérieux” de la solidarité régionale et internationale, en rappelant qu’elles sont hébergées et supervisées par le tyran togolais Eyadema – alors qu’il est question de s’entendre sur la démocratie et la citoyenneté ! Le “SOS Ivoiriens” reste donc allumé en rouge : quels hommes ou femmes politiques, quelles forces civiles trouveront les mots et les actes qui apaisent, empêchant les cyniques et les machiavéliques de donner la mesure de leur talent ravageur ? Nous gardions pour la fin le Centrafrique. Ce qui s’y passe depuis fin octobre est l’illustration de la non-nouveauté. L’impasse est interminable après tant d’“erreurs” d’aiguillage : une colonisation féroce, une néocolonie caricaturale, Bokassa, le proconsulat barbouzard du colonel Mantion, l’exacerbation des clivages ethniques, la déliquescence Patassé.

While theory deals with both strategies for engage in the contest (Cobb and Elder 1972; Rochefort and agenda control at the individual level and the dynamic of agenda change at the aggregate level, existing quantitative analysis Cobb 1994), the cognitive and informational basis of agenda remains confined to the latter.

Some of the work displayed is part of a touring collection that will only be shown at this gallery until March 13. Most of his work is warehoused at the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California San Diego, which houses 8,500 pieces of his collection. “Folks are surprised about his early political career,” said Joe Bray, biblio- graphical specialist of the Mandeville Collection.

  • Cris Et Toussotements
    Cris et toussotements Chronique d'une fin de régime Les événements s'accélérant, on en oublierait presque, en cette fin du mois d'octobre, l'équipée sauvage montée, en franc-tireur, par le député UMP Didier Julia. Illustre inconnu avant d'être celui par qui un énième scandale de la Vème République est arrivé. Qui est-il ? Député de la Seine-et-Marne depuis 1967 sans interruption, Julia est membre des groupes d'amitié ou des groupes d'études à vocation internationale entre la France et les pays suivants : Arabie saoudite, Cameroun, États-Unis, Iran, Palestine, Syrie, Zambie. Il est aussi Vice-Président du groupe d'études à vocation internationale sur la Libye et enfin Vice-Président du groupe d'études à vocation internationale sur les problèmes de la République d'Irak. C'est un pur produit de cette bande d'hommes à tout faire, parlementaires le jour et barbouzes la nuit, qu'a toujours été l'encadrement du mouvement gaulliste d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. à 70 ans, il s'est senti encore assez vaillant pour monter une équipe " ad hoc " en vue d'obtenir la libération des deux journalistes français otages en Irak et de leur chauffeur syrien. La République des pieds nickelés Qui compose cette équipe " parall​ èle " ? On y trouve, pêle-mêle, un ancien directeur à l'Unesco, Bruno Carnez, un professeur d'histoire à la Sorbonne, Philippe Evano, qui est un ancien des " réseaux Foccart ", un ex-commando de marine, pilote d'hélicoptère et nageur de combat, Philippe Brett, recyclé dans le privé comme garde du corps, entre 1997 et 1998 auprès de Bruno Gollnisch, le numéro deux du Front National.
