Gatherings are with trust
Originally posted on Al Amatullah:
اَلْمَجَالِسُ بِالْأَمَانَة (رواه أبو داود) Gatherings are with trust. مجالس (majaalis) is the broken plural for مجلس (majlis) which comes from the root جلس (jalasa), meaning “to sit”. Basically, a majlis is any sort of a sitting with two or more people. An أمَانَة (amaanah) is a trust, and it…Where’s the Outrage Over Nun Beachwear? – The Daily Beast
Originally posted on Multicultural Meanderings:
Indeed: Go to any public beach in Italy and chances are you’ll eventually see a woman wearing a veil and long skirt. But she likely won’t be a Muslim in a version of the controversial burqini. She will almost certainly be a Catholic nun in her summer habit either watching…You are what you wear
Originally posted on thesamoosarevolution:
Women have always been judged by what they wear. In our society, the less clothing a woman wears the more she is considered immodest and indecent. A Muslim woman in shorts is a social pariah. Clusters of women or gatherings of men will stop and stare and whisper about her. She…Islamism Rises from Europe’s Secularism
Originally posted on Let's condemn…:
In France, the Socialist government imposed a “secularism charter” in every school, banning Christianity from the educational system. Municipalities have already changed the enrollment form for schoolchildren by eliminating the words “father” and “mother”, replacing them with “legal manager 1” and “legal manager 2”. It is George Orwell’s…Does Banning Face Veils Help Us Fight Terrorism?
Originally posted on consumerist minds:
After the ban on burkinis in Cannes, the issue of Muslim women covering their faces has become the focal point of discussion recently. Is it right to cover your face and your whole body for the sake of religion and are European governments right in their assumption that banning full-face…French showing to the whole world their fear and weakenes
Terrorist beginnings The previous year France and Belgium had to face very serious attacks to the integrity of their nation. In the mid-1980s Belgium had already an experience of terrorist actions. Primarily engaged in bombings within Belgium’s borders the CCC or Cellules Communistes Combattantes (Communist Combatant Cells) attacked perceived enemies of communism, specifically NATO, US […]
a Place to discuss religious matters and Christadelphianism
“The proportion of the population who identify as having no religion – referred to as ‘nones’ – reached 48.5% in 2014, almost double the figure of 25% in the 2011 census. Those who define themselves as Christian – Anglicans, Catholics and other denominations – made up 43.8% of the population.” {People of no religion outnumber […]

Tricia McCary Rhodes (@soulrest) who wrote the book, The Wired Soul: Finding Spiritual Balance in a Hyperconnected Age (NavPress, 2016) finds that Most people would say they live with an internal angst that they can’t always put their finger on. She thinks This is because the Internet has changed our very way of being in […]
Niet de hemel maar de aarde
“De gemiddelde tachtigjarige kerkganger verlangt niet naar de hemel. Die zegt niet ‘gelukkig, ik ben er bijna’, nee, die zit er helemaal niet op te wachten. En terecht, hoe mooi de hemel ook zal zijn, wij zijn niet geschapen voor leven in de hemel – maar voor de aarde. De nieuwe aarde! Ik merk als […]

Na de herdenking van 11 september moeten wij toch ook even na denken hoe het lijden ons leven beheerst maar ook hoe wij dit lijden in ons geloofsleven kunnen betrekken. Sommigen denken dat wij ons lijden niet in onze gezangen mogen opnemen. Er zijn kerkgemeenschappen die denken dat wij enkel lof liederen mogen zingen en […]
Life Goes On
Originally posted on Unshakable Hope:
“Life Goes On” Whether we’re going through the worst of times or the best of times, history and our own experiences show us that life does go on. This is true, but I don’t recommend saying “life goes on” to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one. “There…Why are you afraid?

“And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men…A Prayer for 9-11

When the World Stood Still .. 15 years ago we heard incredible news of a “severe accident”. The news went out that a terrible accident happened in New York which was sent out on television live. We could not believe what happened so rushed to the television to see what was going on. At 8:46 a.m. […]
