Download or read book The Angel in Burka written by Jackie Good and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Angel in Burka is specifically written to raise questions such as:· Is the Egyptian government behind the constant attacks on Christian minorities in both cities and provinces?· Is the international community aware of the extent of the link between Egyptian government, local and foreign terrorist cells, as well as other Egyptian military agents?The other important topic is women rights in the Islamic world and the extent of damage it has on the global women movement in general and on the Christian community specifically. What are the consequences if it is left as is?One of the most important ideas in this book is the constant tactics of Islamization that began in 650 A.D and are still being used to both wipe a civilization from the inside as well as intimidate groups into submission. Finally, is it a major issue, or is it as what some Muslims claim only an "ethnic strife" not often happening?Read this book and determine for yourself. All of the brutal events are based on true experiences of fifteen girls that were in the news recently.
Book Synopsis In the Land of Blue Burqas by : Kate McCord
Download or read book In the Land of Blue Burqas written by Kate McCord and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I lived in Afghanistan for five years. I learned the rules – I had to.” Riveting and fast paced, In the Land of Blue Burqas depicts sharing the love and truth of Christ with women living in Afghanistan, which has been called "the world's most dangerous country in which to be born a woman." These stories are honest and true. The harsh reality of their lives is not sugar-coated, and that adds to the impact of this book. Through storytelling, the author shows how people who don't know Christ come to see Him, His truth, and His beauty. The stories provide insight into how a Jesus-follower brought Jesus' teachings of the Kingdom of God to Afghanistan. They reveal the splendor of Christ, the desire of human hearts, and that precious instance where the two meet. All of the names ofthose involved—including Kate's—plus the locations have been changed to protect the participants.

Book Synopsis Burqas, Baseball, and Apple Pie by : Ranya Idliby
Download or read book Burqas, Baseball, and Apple Pie written by Ranya Idliby and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans, the words ‘American' and ‘Muslim' simply do not marry well; for many the combination is an anathema, a contradiction in values, loyalties, and identities. This is the story of one American Muslim family—the story of how, through their lives, their schools, their friends, and their neighbors, they end up living the challenges, myths, fears, hopes, and dreams of all Americans. They are challenged by both Muslims who speak for them and by Americans who reject them. In this moving memoir, Idliby discusses not only coming to terms with what it means to be Muslim today, but how to raise and teach her children about their heritage and religious legacy. She explores life as a Muslim in a world where hostility towards Muslims runs rampant, where there is an entire industry financed and supported by think tanks, authors, film makers, and individual vigilantes whose sole purpose is to vilify and spread fear about all things Muslim. Her story is quintessentially American, a story of the struggles of assimilation and acceptance in a climate of confusion and prejudice—a story for anyone who has experienced being an "outsider" inside your own home country.
Download or read book A Mermaid Girl written by Sana Rafi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young girl celebrates the experience of wearing a burkini for the first time in this lyrical and heartwarming picture book that casts a fresh light on timeless summer activities, and celebrates cultural traditions and intergenerational bonds. Summer is here and Heba is so excited to wear her new, yellow burkini to the community pool for the first time! She can't wait to look like the other mermaid girls in her family and sparkle like the sun. But when Heba arrives at the pool and her friends start asking her questions about her new special swimsuit, she feels like she's standing out too much. Suddenly her burkini seems like a bad idea. Luckily Mama helps Heba to find strength in the mermaid girls who came before her. Feeling more connected to the women of her family, Heba is ready to show her friends that she can do all the same things that they can do—handstands, summersaults, and dives off the diving board—even while wearing her yellow burkini.
Book Synopsis Pearls of Consciousness by : Christa Faye Burka
Download or read book Pearls of Consciousness written by Christa Faye Burka and published by Brotherhood of Life. This book was released on 1987-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original work, initially published in 1987, the author presents an enlightened understanding of the natural process of transformation as it takes place on a personal level and its intimate relationship to global transformation. This book is a guide to all who desire to understand and experience life - changing transformation and to discover a new way of relating to themselves, to the world and to life itself. Praise for PEARLS OF CONSCIOUSNESS "This book touched me to the core of my soul. Much wisdom delivered in a concise format. It has helped me on my journey of personal transformation. I can feel that every word of this thin book was truth speaking to my soul. This book, first published in 1987, has similar teachings to Judith Orloff, MD and Caroline Myss' teachings while it was published over a decade before Myss' first book. There is much compassion and wisdom in the way knowledge is delivered. The union with self is the most fulfilling and satisfying union possible to mankind... If we want to experience peace on the planet, we must first make peace with ourselves. If we want to heal the planet, we must first heal ourselves. Mankind, as a whole has avoided taking the essential step in confronting inner pain preferring to blame the other for the pain within and the conflict in the world." I am grateful for the guidance from Pearls of Consciousness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in personal transformation and conscious evolution." Burmese Exile (U.S.A.) "I started to read Pearls of Consciousness again and am absolutely bowled over all over again by the pure poignancy and bone rattling profundity of this book. Oh, what a joy it is! So wonderfully wise and relevant to my transformation process that I am left breathless! How can humanity ever stop benefiting from these words and such genuine understanding of this all-embracing wisdom? I was so moved by even just the introduction and first chapter that I couldn't help the tears of gratitude these words brought to my eyes. Truly, the author Christa Burka is a master." Elliot Murray, U.K.
Download or read book The New Babel written by Leonard Schwartz and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Babel: Toward a Poetics of the Mid-East Crises evokes and investigates—from a Jewish American perspective and in the forms of poetry, essays, and interviews—the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, America’s involvement as both perpetrator and victim of events in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and the multiple ways that poetics can respond to political imperatives. The poems range from the immediately lyrical to the experimental forms of the “Apple Anyone Sonnets” series, which relies heavily on the Arabic but has Shakespeare as its scaffolding. In the essays, Schwartz calls on the power of poetry—and of some of the great poets in the Arabic, Jewish, and American traditions—to help rethink the battle lines of the contemporary Mid-East, with the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber looming large. The interviews provide Schwartz’s discussions with Israeli poet and activist Aharon Shabtai, political philosopher Michael Hardt, and the late, great American poet Amiri Baraka. In these creative, analytical, and conversational moments, Leonard Schwartz rethinks the battle lines of the contemporary Middle East and calls on the power of language as the essence of our humanity, endlessly fluid, but also the source of an intentional confusion there is a necessity to counter.
Download or read book Capitalism written by Arundhati Roy and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “courageous and clarion” Booker Prize–winner “continues her analysis and documentation of the disastrous consequences of unchecked global capitalism” (Booklist). From the poisoned rivers, barren wells, and clear-cut forests, to the hundreds of thousands of farmers who have committed suicide to escape punishing debt, to the hundreds of millions of people who live on less than two dollars a day, there are ghosts nearly everywhere you look in India. India is a nation of 1.2 billion, but the country’s one hundred richest people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of India’s gross domestic product. Capitalism: A Ghost Story examines the dark side of democracy in contemporary India and shows how the demands of globalized capitalism have subjugated billions of people to the highest and most intense forms of racism and exploitation. “A highly readable and characteristically trenchant mapping of early-twenty-first-century India’s impassioned love affair with money, technology, weaponry and the ‘privatization of everything,’ and—because these must not be impeded no matter what—generous doses of state violence.” —The Nation “A vehement broadside against capitalism in general and American cultural imperialism in particular . . . an impassioned manifesto.” —Kirkus Reviews “Roy’s central concern is the effect on her own country, and she shows how Indian politics have taken on the same model, leading to the ghosts of her book’s title: 250,000 farmers have committed suicide, 800 million impoverished and dispossessed Indians, environmental destruction, colonial-like rule in Kashmir, and brutal treatment of activists and journalists. In this dark tale, Roy gives rays of hope that illuminate cracks in the nightmare she evokes.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Synopsis Nationalism and Popular Culture by : Tim Nieguth
Download or read book Nationalism and Popular Culture written by Tim Nieguth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do nations come to shape our collective imagination so profoundly? This book argues that the power of national identity and national belonging stems, in part, from the ways in which nationalism is embedded in popular culture. Comprised of chapters covering a wide range of cases from both the Global North and Global South (including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Europe, Israel, Pakistan, and the United States), the text unpacks the connections between nationalism and film, television, music, and other facets of everyday culture. In doing so, it demonstrates that popular culture can help us understand why and how nationhood has become so deeply entrenched in modern society. This book will be of interest to scholars of political science, nationalism, sociology, history, media studies, and cultural studies.
Book Synopsis The Headscarf Debates by : Anna C. Korteweg
Download or read book The Headscarf Debates written by Anna C. Korteweg and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The headscarf is an increasingly contentious symbol in countries across the world. Those who don the headscarf in Germany are referred to as "integration-refusers." In Turkey, support by and for headscarf-wearing women allowed a religious party to gain political power in a strictly secular state. A niqab-wearing Muslim woman was denied French citizenship for not conforming to national values. And in the Netherlands, Muslim women responded to the hatred of popular ultra-right politicians with public appeals that mixed headscarves with in-your-face humor. In a surprising way, the headscarf—a garment that conceals—has also come to reveal the changing nature of what it means to belong to a particular nation. All countries promote national narratives that turn historical diversities into imagined commonalities, appealing to shared language, religion, history, or political practice. The Headscarf Debates explores how the headscarf has become a symbol used to reaffirm or transform these stories of belonging. Anna Korteweg and Gökçe Yurdakul focus on France, Germany, and the Netherlands—countries with significant Muslim-immigrant populations—and Turkey, a secular Muslim state with a persistent legacy of cultural ambivalence. The authors discuss recent cultural and political events and the debates they engender, enlivening the issues with interviews with social activists, and recreating the fervor which erupts near the core of each national identity when threats are perceived and changes are proposed. The Headscarf Debates pays unique attention to how Muslim women speak for themselves, how their actions and statements reverberate throughout national debates. Ultimately, The Headscarf Debates brilliantly illuminates how belonging and nationhood is imagined and reimagined in an increasingly global world.
Book Synopsis The Face Behind the Veil by : Donna Gehrke-White

Download or read book Wearing the Niqab written by Anna Piela and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing niqab wearers' voices to the fore, discussing their narratives on religious agency, identity, social interaction, community, and urban spaces, Anna Piela situates women's accounts firmly within UK and US socio-political contexts as well as within media discourses on Islam. The niqab has recently emerged as one of the most ubiquitous symbols of everything that is perceived to be wrong with Islam: barbarity, backwardness, exploitation of women, and political radicalization. Yet all these notions are assigned to women who wear the niqab without their consultation; “niqab debates” are held without their voices being heard, and, when they do speak, their views are dismissed. However, the picture painted by the stories told here demonstrates that, for these women, religious symbols such as the niqab are deeply personal, freely chosen, multilayered, and socially situated. Wearing the Niqab gives voice to these women and their stories, and sets the record straight, enhancing understanding of the complex picture around niqab and religious identity and agency.
