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.

Slavery was a dominant phenomenon of antiquity. Gradually it has declined in the modern world. The blessings of modern moral attitudes and virtues were instrumental for these structural changes. Recently, child trafficking, especially female child trafficking has become a painful reality in Bangladesh. This child trafficking has been occurring internally and also across the border to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and many Middle Eastern countries. The rate of growth of this trafficking has been increasing alarmingly in this country. Every year several hundred (under the age of eighteen) children are being trafficked abroad. These trafficked children are adapting to a new life style which is different from the life style had they lived in their normal (life style which they supposed to follo...

Known as the "Cairo toe," the wooden and leather appendage was on the mummified body of a woman discovered in a tomb from ancient Thebes, now modern-day Luxor, Egypt. Tests suggested the woman was aged 50 to 60 at the time of her death and may have lost the big toe due to diabetes. There is a long history with the ancient Egyptians that they actually restored body parts on death, so they went into the afterlife complete," [Jacky Finch] said Thursday. "So both of these, or maybe one of them, may well be a post-mortem restoration. Finch said the device -- which has a lifelike toenail carved into it -- shows signs of wear, "although it could well be wear when it was handled by the embalmers or when it was placed into the tomb. So we can't assume that the wear is from daily activity, abra...
[...] the outcome was that a Dec. 25 Christmas became more popular but also caused embarrassment, as there had been no festival since Pentecost, seven months before; now there were two major ones only 12 days apart, just like London buses ("you wait for ages and then two come round the corner at once"). The discovery of the Nag Hammadi literature in 1945 and the Dead Sea Scrolls between 1946 and 1956, as well as various archeological findings confirming New Testament stories, have shone so much light on that period of history that it is now either plain ignorance, or wilful ignorance, to dismiss "the Christ event," as it is called, as just a fairy story.

Although thousands of articles about information behavior have been published in recent years, little attention has been given to the paradoxes that emerge in terms of either the features of such behavior or the investigation of it through research. This article draws on a wide range of studies, many conducted by the author, to explore 10 particular paradoxes that are apparent in the information behavior of children and young people. Several indicate discrepancies between theory and practice, whereas others show that when some priorities are addressed, other areas of concern may suffer.
