Added 31 Jan 2000 "Hello, My name is Igor and I am a Russian by birth. I have read a lot about Islam, I have Arabic and Chechen friends and I read a lot about the Holy Koran and its teaching. I resent the drunkenness and stupidity of the Russian society and especially the gorrilla soldiers that are fighting against the noble Mujahideen in Chechnya. I would like to become a Muslim and in connection with this I would like to ask you to give me some guidance. Where do I go in Moscow for help in becoming a Muslim. Inshallah I can accomplish this with your help." [Igor, Moscow, Russia, 28 Jan 2000] "May Allah help you brothers. I am from Kuwait. All Kuwaitis are with you. We hope for you to win this war, inshallah very soon. If you want me to do anything for you, please tell me. I really feel ashamed sitting in Kuwait and you brothers are fighting the kuffar (disbelievers). Please tell me if we can come there with you, can we come?" [Brothers R and R, Kuwait, 30 Jan 2000] "Salam my Brave Mujahadeen who are fighting in Chechnya and the ones administrating this web site. Every day I come to this site several time just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful faces whom Allah has embraced shahadah and to get the latest news. I envy you O Mujahadeen, tears run into my eyes every time I hear any news and see any faces on this site. My beloved brothers, Allah has chosen you to reawaken Muslims around the world. Keep your spirits of Jihad high and Insha Allah the final victory will be yours. Salam from all the brothers of Pakistan and America." [Brother KA, USA, 31 Jan 2000] "Dear brave fighters, Here in Oman our prayers are with you all the time. May ALLAH (SWT) grant you victory against those devils (Russians). May they run out of dead body bags to pack their dead devils. May they burst in flames. May they suffer 24hrs a day, may they die in thousands daily. May they die burning!! They will suffer, Inshaalah. Alahu Akbar, Alahu, Akbar, Alahu Akbar." [Brother MS, Oman, 30 Jan 2000] "To all the gallant people of Chechnya: I�m sending this e-mail from Argentina. I�m not a Muslim, I�m a Christian. But I understand your feelings and your spirit of fight. Don�t let the Russians put you out of your land. Don�t let these monsters destroy your country and people. Fight, and fight with all the courage that you have to take the victory. I pray for all the civilians, women and children who are there. God have mercy of them and give to you the victory against this arrogant "devils". Thank�s anyway and God bless all you people." [Mr EO, Argentina, 29 Jan 2000] "THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU PEOPLE, WE CAN ONLY MAKE POOR ATTEMPTS TO PRAISE YOU BUT WE DO NOT COME CLOSE. I WOULD LOVE TO FIGHT ALONGSIDE YOU BUT FOR MANY REASONS I CAN'T. STAY BRAVE, ALLAH IS WITH YOU, YOU ARE IN OUR DUA'S." [Brother NK, UK, 30 Jan 2000] "To Commander Ibn-ul-Khattab, We love you, we pray for you and we pray for your victory. The Lord has charged you with our salvation. There are many of us here, wanting to help, ready to do whatever you need. Please write to us, tell us what we must do to help you." [GSM, New Zealand, 29 Jan 2000] "Allahu Akbar ....to the Russians. Allahu Akbar ....to those who back and support the Russians. Allahu Akbar ....to all of their weapons and rockets. Allahu Akbar ....to all of their troops and armies. Allahu Akbar ....to all the fears and tears that affect Chechnya's kids and women. Allahu Akbar ....to all of the sadness and griefs that affects true Muslims all over the world. Allahu Akbar ....to all the of the betraying cowards in the Muslims World. Allahu Akbar ....to all of the wickedness and enviness that Kuffar bear in their hearts to Islam. My dear beloved brothers ....You will win. Be Patient. Be Patient." [Dr AM, Egypt, 30 Jan 2000] "Salam to all the MUJAHADEEN!!! YOU'RE ARE THE BEST AND THE BADDEST! NOT THE SAS OR MARINES OR VIETNAMESE BUT THE ARMY OF ISLAM! MIKE TYSON, IF YOU TRULY ARE THE BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET THEN HELP YOUR BROTHERS IN CHECHNYA! GO RUDE BOYZ!!! YOU HAVE ALL THE DUA FROM THE BOYZ IN THE EAST END OF LONDON! INSHALLAH YOU WILL VICTORIOUS!" [Maz, UK, 30 Jan 2000] "First of all I would like to extend the happiness of all the Muslims in the UK. There is no doubt that one billion Muslims world wide rejoice in every success the Mujahideen make. Secondly, we Muslims are in no way stupid. We are not just fighting the Russians but also their supporters, for it is obvious that other countries in the world that are against Muslims are also funding the Russians, for Russia could never afford this war on its own. But we don't care one bit. The Mujahideen are proving that the Soldiers of Allah could be on one side and all the enemies on the other. No matter how powerful they might seem, they are nothing but pathetic dirt against the Mujahideen and their Faith in Allah." [Brother AM, UK, 30 Jan 2000] "All the Mujahideen and all our brothers and sisters that are suffering under this cowardly Russian opression are in our thoughts and duas all the time. We beg Allah (SWT) to forgive our sins and bless you and all the mujahideen in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine and everywhere else, with a magnicent victory. The Mujahid is a mercy from Allah (SWT) to the Ummah. May Allah (SWT) send humiliation, destruction, disease and cowardly death upon those Russians that are fighting Islam." [Brother AA, USA, 30 Jan 2000] "It's with pride and increasing faith in the Almighty that we watch your Jihad against the mafia-led Russian Army. Their weapons are deadly, but you are invincible with the support of Allah SWT, and the supplication of hundred of millions of muslims around the world eager to join you, and to bleed on the land of Chechnya, to defend our brothers and sisters..." [Brother AB, 30 Jan 2000] "May our duas, collective & individual, be accepted by Allah for you to quickly defeat the enemies of Islam and that you attain Jannat-al-Firdaus, inshaAllah. For the only reason any soul would want to return to this world is to fight and die as a shaheed, for a second, third and fourth time. We cannot imagine your reward." [Sister S, USA, 30 Jan 2000] "Insha-Allah once again Russia will eat the dust, like it did in Afghanistan. You have re- ignited the fire of Jihad among the muslims all over the world." [Brother FJ, New Delhi, India, 30 Jan 2000] "Hey guys ! My telephone bill is roaring ! Since this war began , I stand by your web sites almost all day long. WIN THE WAR, and kick bloody Putin -and his acolites- in the ****. Throw them out, and show the Russians that NOBODY can try to genocide a whole country and its people without getting the right medicine : Death , death, and more death. And leave those stupid European politicians in the place they deserve: They are the mockery for the world. Ridiculous fat Nazis, that would play a good role in Stalin's, or Hiltler's club. Those criminals in the European Human Rights Comission ! What do they play about ? Do they think they will escape without punishment ? They mean to wait till April so the Russian guys can 'finish' their job ?" [AFB, 30 Jan 2000] "May Allah SWT grant us inspiration from the mujahideen, and may he make them an example to all of us who have WAHN (love of this duniya) in our hearts...JazakaAllah khairun to all the Mujahideen for fighting on our behalf, and may Allah SWT shake the earth beneath the Russian disbelievers, and may he cause their hearts and ranks to be disunited." [Sister Aaliya, 30 Jan 2000] "I CAN'T WAIT TO BECOME A MUJAHID IT'S SOMTHING THAT I ALWAYS WANTED. I HAVE A SON OMAR THAT I ASK ALLAH (SWT) ALSO TO MAKE HIM A MUJAHID.THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO DIE. THE MUSLIM WORLD NEEDS MORE AND MORE BROTHERS LIKE BR. SHAMIL AND BR KHATTAB, NOT LIKE THESE ARAB LEADERS THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ISLAM. THESE LEADERS FIGHT WITH THE WEST AGAINST ALLAH (SWT). BUT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO TO KEEP US DOWN INSHA- ALLAH ALLAH (SWT) WILL HELP US TAKE DOWN THESE HELPERS OF THE WEST. I WOULD TO THINK ALL THE STAFF ON THE SITE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FAJAZAKUM ALLAH SWT KHAIRAN." [Brother MS, Australia, 30 Jan 2000] "We are fully behind your heroic battle for freedom from the Russian invaders. You are the leaders of the oppressed Muslims all around the world. May Allah the Almighty give you complete victory. Your sacrifices will not be in vain." [Brother J, 30 Jan 2000] "Thank you for this great site. I am a Doctor training in the United States...You proved that Muslims in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait did not need the American soldiers to kick Saddam out of Kuwait. We have great fighters that are able to kick Saddam out of Iraq too. We do not need nobody except Allah.

    UNCLE WICK Written by Gabe Delahaye EXT. DUBAI - NIGHT The glittering skyscrapers of oil rich Dubai loom over the Arabian sea. We pass through them and down the coast... ...to a PALATIAL ESTATE: luscious green gardens in the middle of the desert, an olympic-sized swimming pool, ARMED GUARDS lining the roof and patrolling the perimeter... We push into... INT. LIBRARY - PALATIAL ESTATE - DUBAI - CONTINUOUS House music thuds in the background. There is a party happening at the house, but this BRASS AND LEATHER LIBRARY is where serious business happens. ANGLE ON: an IMPERIOUS CRIME LORD sipping tea at the head of a massive antique table, surrounded by his HENCHMEN. This is HAMZA (60s) head of “The Nizam,” a league of assassins. HAMZA We’re not having this discussion again. The peace with Skalnikoff and The Colony has been to everyone’s financial benefit. They take the lion’s share of western assignments, but the Nizam controls the east, and with it-- TARIK This isn’t peace. This is Skalnikoff waiting for our guard to drop, so he can strike. If you don’t come for him, he’ll come for you, father. ANGLE ON: TARIK (30s) at the opposite end of the table. He has the bearing of an ungrateful prince: controlled by his father and desperate to take his place. HAMZA I admire your ambition, my son, but you still have much to learn. In the background, the CLUB MUSIC cuts out and we hear SCREAMS. The men at the table perk up, on high alert. A HENCHMAN peaks out the window, shakes his head to signal: the roof is empty.

    From Weaklings to Wounded Warriors: the Changing Portrayal of War-Related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in American Cinema

    49th Parallel, Vol. 30 (Autumn 2012) ISSN: 1753-5794 (online) Maseda/ Dulin From Weaklings to Wounded Warriors: The Changing Portrayal of War-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in American Cinema Rebeca Maseda, Ph.D and Patrick L. Dulin, Ph.D* University of Alaska Anchorage “That which doesn’t kill me, can only make me stronger.”1 Nietzche’s manifesto, which promises that painful experiences develop nerves of steel and a formidable character, has not stood the test of time. After decades of research, we now know that traumatic events often lead to debilitating psychiatric symptoms, relationship difficulties, disillusionment and drug abuse, all of which have the potential to become chronic in nature.2 The American public is now quite familiar with the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), its characteristics and associated problems. From what we know now, it would have been more appropriate for Nietzche to have stated “That which doesn’t kill me sometimes makes me stronger, sometimes cripples me completely, but regardless, will stay with me until the end of my days.” The effects of trauma have not only been a focus of mental health professionals, they have also captured the imagination of Americans through exposure to cultural artefacts. Traumatized veterans in particular have provided fascinating material for character development in Hollywood movies. In many film representations the returning veteran is violent, unpredictable and dehumanized; a portrayal that has consequences for the way veterans are viewed by U.S. society. Unlike the majority of literature stemming from trauma studies that utilizes Freudian * Dr Maseda works in the Department of Languages at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and can be reached at [email protected].
  • The Late Medieval Background 

    The Late Medieval Background 

    Chapter 1 The Late Medieval Background Introduction grasp of the European religious scene on the eve of the Reformation is absolutely indispens- A able to understanding the multiple crises that befell Western Christendom in the sixteenth century. For it was this scene that reformers of all types protested against. Only against this back- ground can we grasp the full impact of the new theologies and confessions that now sprang to life. And only against this foil can we make judgments about what was innovative and what was tradi- tional. It is not an exaggeration to say, therefore, that the more one knows about the late Middle Ages, the better one will understand the Reformation. Yet it is a notoriously difficult matter to accurately summarize the theology, piety, and practice of so extensive a period and so vast an area. Even if we restrict ourselves to Germanic lands in the fifteenth century, we find no consensus among scholars. Where some see an exuberant flourishing of religious forms, others see only decadence and decline. What some recognize as stagnation in sub-Christian superstition, others identify as a rich and highly developed religiosity. Such judg- ments depend of course to some extent on the point of view of the observer, and students of this period do well to acknowledge their own prejudices. What is undeniable to all, however, and this becomes increasingly evident the more one studies the material, is that we are dealing here with enormous variety and complexity. On the level of popular piety one finds manifestations ranging from the exalted spirituality of the mystics to the crude, and to us strange, pious practices of the illiterate peasants.

The “Healing for the Wounded Heart” resources, including these devotions, were developed to help these girls with their emotional and spiritual recovery. Many survivors of abuse may not have experienced sexual slavery, but they know what it’s like to be prisoners in dysfunctional families or relationships. And they know what it’s like to be prisoners of their own guilt and shame. All abuse wounds the heart, whether it involves a single incidence or sexual enslavement.

Essential criteria for maximising the play list potential of New Zealand music on commercial radio: A Programme Directors' perspective A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies at Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Karen Neill 2000 'Station and programme directors act as gatekeepers, being responsible for ensuring a prescribed and identifiable sound or format, based on what the management of the station believes will generate the largest audience - and ratings - and consequent advertising revenue. The ... prograrnme director ... will regularly sift through new releases, selecting three or four to add to the playlist. The criteria underpinning this process will normally be a combination of the reputation of the artist; a record's previous performance, if already released overseas; whether the song fits the station's format; and, at times, the gut intuition of those making the decision. In the case of the first of these factors, reputation and previous track record, publicity material from the label/artist/distributor plays an important role, jogging memories or sparking interest in a previously unknown artist' (Shuker, 1998, p. 242). Abstract For years the commercial radio industry in New Zealand has fought against regulation oflocal music on the airwaves, citing that in the competitive radio environment (a product of governmental deregulation of the industry) it would be detrimental to both their business and the present levels oflocal content being achieved voluntarily by radio.

    Noble and Brave Sikh Women

    NOBLE & BRAVE SIKH WOMEN Sawan singh NOBLE AND BRAVE SIKH WOMEN (Short biographies of twenty noble and Brave sikh women.) By Sawan Singh Noble and Brave sikh women Sawan Singh Principal (Retd.) 10561,Brier Lane Santa Ana, 92705 CA, USA Email- [email protected] Dedicated to To the Noble and Brave Sikh women who made the sikh nation proud….. Introduction Once I had a chance to address a group of teenage girls, born and educated out of the Punjab, about the sacrifices and achievements of the Sikh women. I explained to them, with examples from the lives of noble and brave Sikh ladies, that those ladies did not lag behind Sikh men in sacrificing their lives for their faith .I narrated to them the bravery of Mai Bhago and social service rendered by Bibi Harnam Kaur. They were surprised to learn about the sacrifices of the Sikh women in the Gurdwara Liberation Movemet. They wanted me to name an English book that should contain short biographies of about twenty such women, but those biographies should be based on history, and not fiction. I could not think of any such book off hand and promised that I would find one. I contacted many friends in India, U.S.A., Canada, and U.K to find such a book, but could not find any. I was told by a friend of mine in Delhi that there was such a book named “Eminent Sikh Women” by Mrs. M.K. Gill, but was out of stock. I was shocked that in our male dominated society Sikh women were not being paid due attention.

    Generations of Service

    Generations of Service Laura E. Yardley Generations of Service Laura E. Yardley 2008 COVER PHOTO: CMSgt. Ralph “Bucky” Dent (left) and son TSgt. Jason Dent at an undisclosed location. Foreword If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then certainly any parent, broth- er, sister or cousin, aunt or uncle is honored to see a loved family member follow in his or her footsteps to military service. In old Europe it was traditionally the second son, since only the eldest could inherit the land. But in America the oppor- tunity is there for any fledgling to dream, “I want to serve in the Air Force, just like my Uncle/Brother/ Grandfather Bob.” Few are more aware of the demands of military service than those who serve, so to have a loved one make the com- mitment can be bittersweet—on the one hand a joy and honor; on the other the knowledge that it can be too frequently a tough way to make a living. In this short study you will meet several such families, and you will learn about their relationships and the reasons some have seen a clear path that has been forged by the generations ahead of them. Myriad reasons motivate these multiple generations of Airmen, some of which are clearly expressed, while others are just felt: honor, pride, responsibility, patriotism, courage. The author herself is expe- riencing the family tie of common service: she served as an active duty, now reserve, officer; her husband served as an active duty enlisted man and officer and is now an Air Force civilian.
