  • Framing Secular Women's Rights in Contemporary Britain
    Article Leviathan: Interdisciplinary Journal in English No. 1, 60-124 © The Journal Editors 2017 Framing Secular Reprints and permissions: https://tidsskrift.dk/lev DOI: 10.7146/lev.v0i1.96783 Women’s Rights in Recommendation: Sara Dybris McQuaid Contemporary ([email protected]) Britain and Beyond: 0 Challenges and Implications Martin Rosendal Ehlers ABSTRACT This thesis argues that a group of women from Muslim majority communities campaigning against Sharia law in Britain is challenging group rights multicultural discourse, and that this challenge is quite serious. The thesis’ premise is based on decentering. Instead of looking at their campaign through the lens of multicultural theory, the campaigners are given the proverbial first and last word against their intellectual adversaries. This is done for the purpose of added value – there is limited literature in the field privileging this position. The theory used consists of frame analysis with added insights from critical theory and critical discourse analysis, as power and the concept of hegemony are central to the case. It is concluded that the way the women frame their campaign and their politics does indeed challenge group rights multicultural discourse. Keywords: Islam, Muslims, women’s rights, multiculturalism, framing, critical discourse analysis, hegemony, Sharia, discourse, Britain, universalism, Islamism Corresponding author: Martin Rosendal Ehlers ([email protected]) Department of English, Aarhus University 61 Table of Contents Summary (62) 1: Introduction (63-66) 2: Theory

    The Enlightenment A Mini-Journal of the Humanist Association of London and Area Visit Our Web Site at www.humanists-london.org Volume 13 Number 12 December 2017 DEFIANT EARTH: The Fate of Humans in the Anthropocene by Clive Hamilton Reviewed by Rosslyn Ives Hamilton’s aim in Defiant Earth is to set out a compelling case for how humans have become major agents affecting the functioning of the Earth System. In this book he argues that humans have become so powerful we have disrupted the functioning of the Earth, bringing on a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. As he reminds readers, from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution humans have been responsible for huge changes on Earth, including the consequences of burning fossil fuels. Since the rapid growth in the post-Second World War period of land clearing, manufacturing and resource use these changes have accelerated. The carbon dioxide from fossil fuels has caused global warming, climate change, ice melts and acidification of the oceans, among other significant system changes. In other words, humans have become a major agent for change, augmenting the blind forces of nature This is a challenging book to read, because Hamilton is setting out the evidence and arguments for a paradigm shift in how the Earth System ought to be understood. Instead of perceiving ourselves as simply products of evolution living on a planet that sustains our livelihood, we need to see ourselves as active agents affecting how the Earth System functions. This has led scientists to apply the concept of the Anthropocene epoch, a time when humans are significant agents.

  • A Case Study of Memri's
    AL GHANNAM, ABDULAZIZ G., Ph.D., December 2019 TRANSLATION STUDIES IDEOLOGY IN MEDIA TRANSLATION: A CASE STUDY OF MEMRI’S TRANSLATIONS (294 PP.) Dissertation Advisor: Brian James Baer Translation is an invaluable tool for communicating between cultures and for bridging the “knowledge gap.” Based on this fact, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) claims that the purpose of its translations of media content from the Middle East, mainly the Arabic-speaking world, is to bridge the knowledge gap that exists between the West and Middle Eastern countries. Although MEMRI’s stated goal is a generous and worthy one, its translations have attracted criticism from major translation scholars such as Mona Baker (2005, 2006, 2010a) and journalists such as Brian Whitaker (2002, 2007), as well as scholars from history and political studies. The main criticism regarding MEMRI’s translations revolves around the question of selectivity, or which texts are chosen for translation. However, no study to date has provided comprehensive evidence to support or refute that charge, which this study aims to do. This study focuses on English translations of texts and video clips that were found in the Saudi Arabia translation archive, published and available online on MEMRI’s website. By investigating all the Saudi media sources (e.g., newspapers, TV channels, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) from which MEMRI makes its selection of texts for translation, this study provides statistical evidence as to whether MEMRI’s translations are representative of what is being circulated in the source culture (Saudi Arabia) media. Supporting evidence is sought in MEMRI’s approach to the translation of titles and in its translation of video clips (subtitling).

  • Correspondence-With-Government
    AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON Time to Dismantle the Parallel Legal System: Call from 395 Signatories 10th December 2015 Prime Minister David Cameron 10 Downing St London SW1A 2AA Dear Prime Minister Women’s rights and secular organisations urge the new government to take concerted measures to stop the development of parallel legal systems and to facilitate full and proper access to justice for all citizens and to one secular law for all. For decades, successive governments have appeased undemocratic religious power brokers in minority communities who have sought to gain power through multicultural and now multi- faith social policies. These policies have led to the homogenisation of minority communities including the ‘Muslim community’ and have recognised and legitimated ‘non-violent’ Islamists as ‘community representatives’, outsourcing legal justice to what are in effect kangaroo courts that deliver highly discriminatory and second-rate forms of ‘justice.’ Over the years, we have witnessed with increasing alarm the influence of ‘Sharia courts’ over the lives of citizens of Muslim heritage. Any government inquiry into ‘Sharia courts’ must also examine the impact of the draconian cuts in legal aid that have adversely affected access to justice for the most vulnerable. Many abused women from minority backgrounds, for instance, are increasingly forced to either represent themselves in court in what are often complex family legal proceedings or go to ‘Sharia courts’ that operate entirely outside the rule of law. The loss of legal aid contributes to a context that is conducive to the consolidation of privatised and unaccountable forms of justice and ‘Sharia courts’ are amongst the main beneficiaries.

Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) Individu yang perlu dipantau: Dr. Farouk Musa Status: Aktif Aktiviti: Banyak menganjurkan program yang mempromosikan ideologi liberal dan membawa masuk pelbagai individu yang mempunyai ideologi sesat untuk dibawa kepada masyarakat Malaysia. Kaitan dengan gerakan ateisme: Menyatakan jikalau golongan ateis menikmati dan mempercayai kebebasan beragama tanpa mempengaruhi orang lain untuk menganut agama mereka, sepatutnya tidak timbul masalah untuk isu itu. Selain itu, IRF juga menerima dana daripada National Endowment for Democracy (NED), iaitu sebuah badan NGO overt yang giat mempromosikan proses demokrasi di dunia dan menguasai empat agensi yang mendukung prinsip demokrasi yang sama iaitu American Center for International Labour Solidarity (ACILS), Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) dan International Republican Institute (IRI). Bukan itu sahaja, IRF seolah-olah menggalakkan pembawaan sekularisme dan bekerjasama dengan pelbagai entiti anti Islam. Sudah tentu kebebasan beragama adalah sesuatu yang disokong IRF dan mereka juga mempunyai objektif agar umat Islam di Malaysia mampu membuka minda ke arah ideologi IRF.
