Btw, I only sited China because the writer used China as the prime example of how secularism can help religion flourish.

Hamas will renounce violence once Israel renounces violence, stops building settlements and allow for the return of Naqba refugees, all within a one state solution.

I like this statement: //Thus, a South Sudanese identity, if proven to be financially beneficial, will develop a national aspiration stronger than that of, say, how Bangladeshis feel about Bangladesh (although their country was born less than 40 years ago). //

I agree with Idris. Today we consider any person who has ancestors within 2 generations, who spoke Arabic, to be Arab.

Ethnically speaking Arabs are the decedents of beduins from the Hijaz.. We cannot ignore that before the conquest of the Middle East by Arabs, there were civilizations who neither spoke Arabic nor considered themselves to be remotely ethnically related to the southern desert tribes. Assyrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Jews, Carthaginians, Nubians, and Yemenis, all had their unique racial identities and unique languages; until ofcourse they started using Arabic more frequently than their own mother-tongues.

Correct me if I am wrong, but maybe it is just the closet racists who would refuse to 'grant' Sudanese the 'honor' of being called Arab, becasue the Sudanese are black.

//Do you understand what this entails? That means the problem is in the HUMAN EYE itself, and unless you are suggesting there is another way to "observe" without using our eyes (the ultimate empirical evidence is see with the human eye), we have indeed, as Bohr inferred, reached the limitations of science. //
//I said, a scientist is like a man with a hammer who thinks everything is a nail (quote from Mark Twain). In other words, even when a scientist concludes, through the scientific method, that science has reached its limits, a scientist would naturally try to resolve this obstacle with, well, SCIENCE! Because that's what a scientist does! //

You, my friend, are clearly not a student of science. To your credit, you nearly had me fooled ;) ;)

These nikabi women probably destroyed the preconceived misconception of the docile and submissive burka-clad Muslim women to the main-stream media viewers.
"Ban more brukas Europe?" So much for religious tolerance.

Officials in China's western Xinjiang province have stepped up pressure on the region's ethnic Uighur population during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Those youngsters at Kabob who still believe secular states can make Islam beautiful should watch this. They would probably have their belief reinforced. (?)

God bless these people.

They are still brave and committed, even after the 1982 massacre perpetrated by Bashar's father.
