  • The Alawite Dilemma in Homs Survival, Solidarity and the Making of a Community
    STUDY The Alawite Dilemma in Homs Survival, Solidarity and the Making of a Community AZIZ NAKKASH March 2013 n There are many ways of understanding Alawite identity in Syria. Geography and regionalism are critical to an individual’s experience of being Alawite. n The notion of an »Alawite community« identified as such by its own members has increased with the crisis which started in March 2011, and the growth of this self- identification has been the result of or in reaction to the conflict. n Using its security apparatus, the regime has implicated the Alawites of Homs in the conflict through aggressive militarization of the community. n The Alawite community from the Homs area does not perceive itself as being well- connected to the regime, but rather fears for its survival.

Reservation passed certain semantic developments and transformations in Shia after Islam and finally was turn to a religious - moral word. The use of the reservation became common due to the conditions of social - political life of Innocent Imams (peace to be upon them) and their followers in the period of Imam Baqir and Imam Sadiq (peace to be upon them). It was used in the meaning of hiding the truth and not stating to believe in it against the opponents in order to abstain from religious or secular loss.

  • The Good News of Identifying Bad Religion
    57 http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/willis_e_elliott/2008/05/the_good_news_of_identifying_b.html The Good News of Identifying Bad Religion As a pro-choice evangelical, I was saddened by the violentanti-choice (spun as “pro-life”) language of “an Evangelical Manifesto” on this culture-war issue: we on the other side are guilty of “assaults” on the unborn. The anti-choice position is political, aimed at legislation forbidding abortion. But the “On Faith” question emphasizes that this group of Evangelicals aims to “depoliticize the term ‘evangelical’”: Some Christian leaders issued “An Evangelical Manifesto” last week [May 7] to depoliticize the term ‘evangelical.’ “We Evangelicals are defined theologically, and not politically, socially or culturally,” they said. In your mind, what is the definition of an evangelical? 1.....I’m an evangelical theologically, but “not politically, socially or culturally.” In other words, I’m not an Evangelical (a capitalization the Manifesto insists on as descriptive of its position). The Manifesto’s subtitle sharpens the drafters’ identity and stance: “The Washington Declaration of Evangelical Identity and Public Commitment.” Their purpose is “to clarify the confusion” about the word “Evangelical” and “to explain where we stand on issues” involving “Evangelicals in public life.” 2.....Admirably, the Manifesto premises, we human beings must learn to live together with “religious differences” that are “ultimate and irreducible” – differences in “personal worldviews” and in “entire ways of

  • American Punk: the Relations Between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture
    American Punk: The Relations between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture Gerfried Ambrosch ABSTRACT Punk culture has its roots on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite continuous cross-fertiliza- tion, the British and the American punk traditions exhibit distinct features. There are notable aesthetic and lyrical differences, for instance. The causes for these dissimilarities stem from the different cultural, social, and economic preconditions that gave rise to punk in these places in the mid-1970s. In the U. K., punk was mainly a movement of frustrated working-class youths who occupied London’s high-rise blocks and whose families’ livelihoods were threatened by a declin- ing economy and rising unemployment. Conversely, in America, punk emerged as a middle-class phenomenon and a reaction to feelings of social and cultural alienation in the context of suburban life. Even city slickers such as the Ramones, New York’s counterpart to London’s Sex Pistols and the United States’ first ‘official’ well-known punk rock group, made reference to the mythology of suburbia (not just as a place but as a state of mind, and an ideal, as well), advancing a subver- sive critique of American culture as a whole. Engaging critically with mainstream U.S. culture, American punk’s constitutive other, punk developed an alternative sense of Americanness. Since the mid-1970s, punk has produced a plethora of bands and sub-scenes all around the world. This phenomenon began almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic—in London and in New York, to be precise—and has since spread to the most remote corners of the world.
