Описание:
Using the methodology of modern scholars in the fields of Arabic lexicography, linguistics, and psychoanalysis, Tunisian feminist scholar Olfa Youssef investigates the rulings about inheritance, marriage, and homosexuality in the Qur'anic text itself and compares them with the interpretations provided by male Muslim theologians and legal scholars from medieval times to the present. In this book, she makes five central arguments: (1) There is a discrepancy between the layered signification in the Qur'anic text itself and the sutured explanations by religious scholars which have been enacted into law in many Muslim countries today; (2) the plurality of meanings is the quintessential essence of the Qur'an as evidenced in the absence of any sura over which there was unanimous agreement among Muslim scholars; (3) when male privilege was at stake, male legal scholars, to protect their own interests, ignored the divine text and based their rulings on human consensus; (4) Muslim medieval views on gender and homosexuality were more tolerant than contemporary ones; and finally (5), preferring indetermination and perplexity over the finality and certainties found in the judgements of male theologians, Youssef argues that only God knows the Qur'an's true meaning. Her job as a Muslim female scholar is only to raise questions over those human interpretations that many Muslim societies mistake for divine will.

Описание: Argues that Salman Rushdie`s eclectic and hybridized work can be situated within an Islamic genealogy of theological and literary traditions. This book demonstrates the extent to which literature is committed to a critical reconceptualization of history, and value systems based in the possibilities of risk, constructive doubt, and contingency.

Описание: You Look So Good is a tribute to The 1995 Million Man March. In Million Man March Prayer, Khalim asks God to "Glorify Yourself in the Million Men, and the 144,000, and all those who choose freedom over tyranny, right over wrong, and to be called Your Chosen, in these Days of Judgment. Show that those who are called Babylon, the Great (or the Great Satan), are not great; but rather, those oppressors are low forms of life, and will be put where they belong." On 8/4/1999, Khalim discovered that he is the reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson. So, it is intriguing to read his Declaration of The United People of The United States," written in 1995. Then, he described it as "...Jeffersonian and Lincolnesque, and in tone, like our first Declaration of Independence, detailing the satanic and communistic evil of this current government. It concludes, "IT IS OUR RIGHT IT IS OUR DUTY TO THROW OFF this present intrusive, parasitic, ineffective, and oppressive government by those princes in rebellion against God.
