Told by one of his generals that soldiers from different provinces were fighting over discrepant accounts of the Qur'an, [Caliph Uthman] ordered [Zaid] ibn Thabit to bring together the various texts, unify them, and have them transcribed into one. When this task was complete, Uthman ordered standard copies to be sent to Kufa, Basra, Damascus and elsewhere, with a master copy retained in Medina. Uthman thus played the canonical role that had been taken, in the standardization and purging and censorship of the Christian Bible, by Irenaeus and by Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria. The roll was called, and some texts were declared sacred and inerrant while others became "apocryphal." Outdoing Athanasius, Uthman ordered that all earlier and rival editions be destroyed. Even supposing this vers...

Purposes of this article include providing a brief assessment of current religion-marriage research, a concise review of the historical roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, a look at marital law as explained in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Qur' an, and an overview of ancient and contemporary marital ritual, religious practice, and symbolism within each of these three religious traditions informed through the lens of attachment theory. [...] in Marks (2005) study of the influence of religion on marriage across Abrahamic faiths, spiritual beliefs were positively linked to promarriage and anti-divorce sentiments, a shared worldview system, and a belief that God was a tangible support to the success of couples' marital relationships.

Shahina Siddiqui's presentation of the hijab and other religious coverings for women as nothing more than a choice to conform to modesty requirements of the founder of Islam is naïve at best and disingenuous at worst. The hijab and other forms of head coverings for women are hugely controversial within the Muslim world, particularly among reformers. First, according to Imam Khaleel Mohammed (professor of religion, Islam, Islamic law and comparative religion at San Diego State University), the veiling and other covering of women was not mandated directly by the Prophet Muhammed. The text quoted by Siddiqui refers to a specific situation that Muhammad found offensive. A prevailing fashion of that time meant women partly covered their hair with a long band but wore dresses with such a low-...
From the ancient Egyptian culture, the Chinese Confucians, the births of Christianity and Islam, to the spirituality of the Japanese Shinto religion - all attained some form of that same original idea: everyone should be treated equally, fairly and with a general respect for dignity and an eye for tolerance. Often these experiences stem from competition for resources, a lack of familiarity with cultures different to our own, or even simple miscommunication and a lack of patience.On more than a few occasions, members of the Sun's editorial staff have fielded calls from irate Brandonites who rail against "those foreigners" who don't speak English very well, have filled up the city's limited low-rent residential space, or just generally don't fit in with the predominant culture, such as i...
[Jame Kopp] is a serial killer who, for ideological reasons, attempted to kill Canadian doctors and threatened the delivery of safe medical abortion services to women. The civilian, called Jack Steele to protect his identity, has done all Canadian women and doctors a monumental service. It is reported (Conviction but no reward, Nov. 28) that the task force decided not to pursue convictions in Canada, and folded their tents when Kopp was captured in France and convicted of killing a doctor in the U.S. Now it reportedly used this decision as an excuse not to pay their agreed half of the "reward" to the one who did the dangerous work and delivered the goods. So the editor does not like tyranny of the majority (Switzerland's bad example, Dec. 2). Would she prefer a tyranny of the elitists? ...

Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Daoism, Earth Religions (Wicca), Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native Religion and Sikhism. Canada is a special place, with, for example, rates of volunteering that are the highest in the world. Because of the aboriginal impact, Saul asserts, Canada is "not, and never has been in the European or U.S. sense, a Christian country.
She later realized the difference in Islam as it is practised by the male-dominated religious elite in her native country Egypt. This realization was the basis of her other book Women and Gender in Islam, where she deals with Islamic history, and the historical role of women in Islam. She argues that oppressive practices to which the women in the Middle East are subjected are due to the prevalence of patriarchal interpretation of Islam rather than Islam itself. She is a prolific writer, author of several books, Beyond the Veil, Islam and Democracy; Fear of the Modern World, Forgotten Queens of Islam, Scheherazade is not a Moroccan, Islam, Gender and Social Change, Women's rebellion and Islamic Memory, Islamic feminism, and Liberal movement within Islam.
