tecolahagos.com - ethiopian related issues and commentary The Ahbash vision is a society of normalcy and stability, where social and religious pluralism is the mode for Muslims among themselves and in their relations with non-Muslims. However, the Ahbash abstained from creating a militia of its own and from involvement in intersectarian violence and fighting Israel; its main aims were proselytization and recruitment, while it displayed a commitment to moderation and political passivity. The Ahbash, officially known as the Society of Islamic Philanthropic Projects, or Jam'iyyat al- Mashari' al-Khayriyya al-Islamiyya, is unique and one of the most controversial Muslim associations in the contemporary spectrum of Islamic groups. www.tecolahagos.com /al_hbash.htm   (5880 words)

Naharnet Newsdesk - Ahbash Gunmen Shoot Amal Activist, Fears of New Mosques War Al Ahbash had fought a deadly war for control of Beirut's mosques with the rival Sunni organization of Al Jamaa Al Islamiah. Other media reports said the attackers belonged to the Sunni fanatic faction of Al Ahbash and that negotiations were underway to turn them in to the authorities to avert an escalation of hostilities between the two pro-Syrian groups. During that conflict, Abu Mohjen's Osbat Al Ansar, or League of Partisans, made its debut on Lebanon's political spectrum, throwing its lot behind Al Jamaa Al Islamiah and assassinating Al Ahbash leader Sheikh Nazar Halaby in front of his Beirut house in 1994. www.naharnet.com /domino/tn/Newsdesk.nsf/Story/A96E2C4E69E7995D42256D460033E486?OpenDocument&PRINT   (285 words)

Islamism in Lebanon - Al Mashriq The Ahbash is a Sufi (or spiritualist) movement that devoutly follows the teachings of Sheikh `Abdallah ibn Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Hirari ash-Shi'bi al-Abdari, also known as al-Habashi, a religious thinker of Ethiopian origins. The Islamic Association engages in internecine struggles with the Ahbash and the Tawhid, as well as with the traditional Sunni religious establishment as represented by Juridical Office (Dar al-Ifta') and traditional leaders (the Karamis of Tripoli, the Salams of Beirut, and the newly-emerged Hariris of Sidon), whom it regards as the instruments of foreign interests. In contrast to Hizbullah and the Islamic Association, the Ahbash opposes the establishment of an Islamic state on the grounds that this divides Muslims. almashriq.hiof.no /lebanon/300/320/324/324.2/islamism/shia-islam-leb.html   (3941 words)
