(AFP) Janoub Stadium on Thursday. (AFP) Hamdan’s solitary strike seals the deal; Unlucky Qatar fought hard but could not breach defence despite chances AFC DOHA HOSTS and three-time cham- pions Qatar bowed out of the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup as Saudi Arabia rode on a soli- tary goal to make the final of the prestigious regional tour- nament at the Al Janoub Sta- dium on Thursday. Abdulla al Hamdan was the hero, scoring in the 28th minute as Saudi Arabia sealed a meeting with Bahrain in Sunday’s final. Bahrain defeated Iraq 5-3 on penalties after their tie ended 2-2. The match saw a slow start with no notable chances in the first 20 minutes although Qa- tar had more of the ball. However, it was Saudi Arabia who took the lead with Sultan Al Ghanam com- pleting a surging run down the left by sending in a cross that was deflected by Tarek Salman. Qatar goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb tried to clear the danger but the pacey Al Hamdan did just enough to steer the ball into the net.

Johnson June 2006 This thesis entitled ISLAMIC STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: THREE CASE STUDIES by TROY A. JOHNSON has been approved for the Center of International Studies Elizabeth F. Collins Associate Professor of Classics and World Religions Drew McDaniel Interim Dean, Center for International Studies Abstract JOHNSON, TROY A., M.A., June 2006, International Development Studies ISLAMIC STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: THREE CASE STUDIES (83 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth F. Collins This thesis describes how and to what extent three Islamic student organizations – Muhammadiyah youth groups, Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Muslim Indonesia (KAMMI), and remaja masjid – are developing habits of democracy amongst Indonesia's Muslim youth. It traces Indonesia's history of student activism and the democratic movement of 1998 against the background of youth violence and Islamic radicalism. The paper describes how these organizations have developed democratic habits and values in Muslim youth and the programs that they carry out towards democratic socialization in a nation that still has little understanding of how democratic government works. The thesis uses a theoretical framework for evaluating democratic education developed by Freireian scholar Ira Shor. Finally, it argues that Islamic student organizations are making strides in their efforts to promote inclusive habits of democracy amongst Indonesia's youth. Approved: Elizabeth F. Collins Associate Professor or Classics and World Religions Acknowledgments I would like to thank my friends in Indonesia for all of their openness, guidance, and support.

  • TITLE of UNIT What Do Muslims Do at the Mosque
    Sandwell SACRE RE Support Materials 2018 Unit 1.8 Beginning to learn about Islam. Muslims and Mosques in Sandwell Year 1 or 2 Sandwell SACRE Support for RE Beginning to learn from Islam : Mosques in Sandwell 1 Sandwell SACRE RE Support Materials 2018 Beginning to Learn about Islam: What can we find out? YEAR GROUP 1 or 2 ABOUT THIS UNIT: Islam is a major religion in Sandwell, the UK and globally. It is a requirement of the Sandwell RE syllabus that pupils learn about Islam throughout their primary school years, as well as about Christianity and other religions. This unit might form part of a wider curriculum theme on the local environment, or special places, or ‘where we live together’. It is very valuable for children to experience a school trip to a mosque, or another sacred building. But there is also much value in the virtual and pictorial encounter with a mosque that teachers can provide. This unit looks simply at Mosques and worship in Muslim life and in celebrations and festivals. Local connections are important too. Estimated time for this unit: 6 short sessions and 1 longer session if a visit to a mosque takes place. Where this unit fits in: Through this unit of work many children who are not Muslims will do some of their first learning about the Islamic faith. They should learn that it is a local religion in Sandwell and matters to people they live near to. Other children who are Muslims may find learning from their own religion is affirming of their identity, and opens up channels between home and school that hep them to learn.

Prof. of Architecture and Urbanism Advisor of Urban Planning Affairs Head of CB, Training & Development at Head of Central Doha Project QNMP - MME QNMP - MME Doha, Qatar Doha, Qatar [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The coast is one of the most complex systems on earth as it is the result of the continuous interaction between people, land and water. These physical processes shape the geomorphology of the coast, which sustains specific ecosystems that provide crucial services to human societies to flourish. This paper aims at expanding the understanding on the functioning of the waterfronts, which are crucial factor to increase the awareness regarding the challenges of developing and governing coastal areas and waterfronts. Evidently, climate change represents the major human-induced source of natural risks. Understanding the risks associated to the coast is crucial to provide safe and resilient human environment. Planners must address the challenges of waterfronts and coastal areas’ planning approaches. Coastal cities are facing the challenge not only by providing high quality services for its inhabitants but also to integrate specific coastal and waterfront uses that demand a large quantity of space and requires highly specialized services. Ports, dwellings, beaches, promenades, protectorates, industry, logistics, resorts, restaurants, are just few of the uses that characterized most coastal cities and waterfronts and need to be integrated into the urban fabric and smartly diminish the consequences of climate change.
