KANSAS CITY, Mo. - As we enter the wedding season, each faith has its own way to consecrate marriage. The Rev. Terry McCloskey emphasizes that the marriage ceremony is both a joyful and a serious ritual in the Roman Catholic Church as it is in the world's major faiths.

[...] if it is the mother who is summoning the child, then the directive is that she should interrupt the recommended ritual prayer and respond to her mother.60 Ayatullah Saanei makes use of this new epistemology and hermeneutic strategies when dealing with other issues pertaining to present-day society as well, such as the legality or prohibition of interest (riba) and use of gambling (qumar) instruments, minority rights, religious pluralism, bio-medical ethics, right of a wife to unilaterally divorce her husband, permissibility of women to occupy the position of judges or the highest religious post, and the age at which a person would become religiously accountable (mukallaf) and able to transact a marriage.61 Conclusion In the works of Ayatullah Saanei, one observes a major epistemol...

In 1986, popular Indonesian actor and singer Jamal Mirdad married another popular Indonesian actor, Lydia Kandou. The marriage, however, was not as popular as were the two artists because Jamal Mirdad is a Muslim and Lydia Kandou is a Christian. These instances are not isolated, and are even becoming more common as other public persons, notably actors and also lay people have entered into inter-religious marriages (IRMs). Socially, however, these marriages are on the fringe of Indonesian society, as many Indonesians do not favor IRMs, and Indonesian law reflects that view. This article endeavors to examine the legal controversy concerning IRM and its impacts, especially on women's lives, in Indonesia from a socio-historical perspective. Inevitably, because lovers ignore religion and rel...

[Amy Jacques Garvey] was described as an exemplary politician and a devoted wife to the Honorable [Marcus Garvey]. One of her best roles was as a publicist for Garveyism and as one of the editors of the "Negro World" newspaper. Her activism, during and after the death of her husband in 1940, clearly demonstrated the indispensable role she played in the disintegration of the colonialism system. In 1945, she was instrumental in convening the fifth Pan African Congress (PAC) and later on, she visited West Africa at the request of President [Kwame Nkrumah]. She co-sponsored the sixth PAC in Dar Es Salaam and in her final years, she wrote and published "Garvey and Garveyism," in addition to her collection of essays on Black Power in America, and the Impact of Garvey in Africa and Jamaica.

Dr. [Zijad Delic] says that sharia must be re-examined in the light of modernity in the West. He gave the example of a couple going to an imam from the East with a marital problem. Using an old way of looking at sharia, the imam might advise the husband to beat his wife. "That," said Delic, "could get him in trouble because it is against the law. And if I am called as a witness, then he will really be in trouble," because there are Islamic legal sources forbidding such behavior. In answer to a question, Dr. [Seyyed Hossein Nasr] rejected the "clash of civilizations" thesis. He charged that the thesis was developed "to serve certain interests," to make Islam into an enemy. "Who," he asked,"is the danger to the world?" He then referred to the American and Israeli atomic bombs. This "clash...

In The Faces of Terrorism: Social and Psychological Dimensions by Neil J. Smelser (Princeton University Press, 2007, 292 pp., $29.95), Smelser shows himself to be the kind of scholar who would never "massage" a fact in the interest of theory or ideology. Therefore, he is extremely cautious in trying to generalize about what Islamic terrorists have in common. His antagonists were quite correct. Examining the "root causes" of terrorism is akin to asking why the husband killed his wife. It is a futile exercise and Smelser's advocacy of the "root cause" syndrome is the only flaw in this otherwise excellent book. In God's Continent: Christianity, Islam and Europe's Religious Crisis by [Philip Jenkins] (Oxford University Press, 2007, 340 pp., $28), the author brings his dedication to bear in ...
The loss of Muslim rule heightened Indian Muslims' concerns for preserving their religion and culture.

The dissemination of birth control was only one of a host of interventions into the intimate and everyday practices of ordinary Egyptians that aimed at creating reformed and modernized families and productive citizens.
