Miraj - The night of Ascension to Heaven From at least the 14th century, the Buraq myth, visualized on the basis of ancient depictions of griffins, sphinxes, and centaurs, became a favourite subject of Persian miniature painting. Muhammad-mysticism proper was developed in the late 9th century; he is shown as the one who precedes creation, his light is pre-eternal, and he is the reason for and goal of creation. Musa, however, advises Muhammad to plead for a reduction of the number as being too difficult for believers, and the obligation is eventually reduced to five prayers each day. www.geocities.com /khola_mon/myth/Miraj.html

UAE History: 2,000 to 200 years ago - UAEinteract Dibba (Debe) appears in the list of southeast Arabian placenames preserved by the Venetian jeweller Gasparo Balbi in 1580, and depictions of its Portuguese fort can be found in several sources, such as Cortesao's Portugalliae monumenta cartographica.

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Sylvester Stallone The most pervasive action star of the 1970s and the 1980s, Sylvester Stallone became renowned for his depictions of inarticulate, larger-than-life heroes, most notably the lovable pugilist Rocky Balboa, and the alienated Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. Stallone was 30 years old, with a pregnant wife and $106 in the bank, when he chanced to see a closed-circuit prize fight between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner&; a longshot who thrilled the crowd by going the distance. Stallone has said that as a teenager he was inspired to body build after watching the gladiator movies of Steve Reeves; doubtless, teenagers of the 1970s and 1980s were similarly inspired by Stallone. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_bio/ai_2419201147   (932 words)

BBC NEWS Middle East Nordic firm hit by Arab boycott The cartoons sparked outrage in the Muslim world, where depictions of the Prophet Muhammad or Allah are banned. 20 January: Ambassadors in Denmark of 10 Muslim countries complain to the Danish PM On Monday the newspaper that published the caricatures, Jyllands-Posten, said: "These cartoons were not in violation of Danish law but have irrefutably offended many Muslims, and for that we apologise." The Danish Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, welcomed the apology - but again defended the freedom of the press. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/middle_east/4666298.stm   (515 words)

Dhimmi Watch: Canadian Islamic Congress to bring hate speech charges against publisher of Muhammad cartoons On CTV Newsnet, Levant said although Islam forbids depictions of its Prophet, "I don't follow Muslim law, I follow Queen Elizabeth's law. Ezra Levant, however, is a bit of a twit, or was when he was younger. Levant, meanwhile, asks why society finds it more acceptable to poke fun of the Christian faith, before pointing to a recent cover of Rolling Stone magazine which shows hip hop artist Kanye West made up to look like Jesus. www.jihadwatch.org /dhimmiwatch/archives/010209.php   (5199 words)

Martyrdom in Jihad While it is not provable that Muhammad intentionally created the dialectic between jihad and the martyr's reward in paradise for the sake of encouraging his followers to battle on his behalf, there is no doubt that the dialectic was employed to that end in the early community. The most simple medium is the billboard: it is reported that in Iran, and presumably elsewhere, one can see billboards with slogans and depictions of martyrs whose intent is to arouse sympathy in the viewer and arouse him to action. DAMASCUS, Syria (Reuter) - Radical Palestinian guerrilla groups Thursday condemned the terms of a partial Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank town of Hebron as a crime against Palestinians and vowed to wreck the accord. bahai-library.com /personal/jw/my.papers/jihad.html   (5199 words)

Malaysia Today: MT-News: Cartoons insult Asian values But as we have seen time and again, from Singapore's Maria Hertogh riots to the furore over depictions of Prophet Muhammad, journalists in multicultural societies must be circumspect. This was not the only contrast (or conflict) between Asian practice and American theory that struck me while lecturing in Nanyang Technological University's School of Communication and Information. As theorist Herbert Gans argued in the Columbia Journalism Review, "the rules of news judgment call for ignoring story implications." www.malaysia-today.net /Blog-e/2006/02/cartoons-insult-asian-values.htm   (1952 words)

The Second Draft It was as if the floodgates opened and the media was inundated with material that had always been there, but now reached new levels of intensity: Newspapers, movies, TV serials, tapes, books, all served up lurid depictions of the blood libels and conspiracy theories, especially the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The impact of the pictures of al-Dura on the Arab world were instantaneous, explosive, and enduring. Expressing his anger at the current Arab condition he said that the Arabs have nothing "but to cry the same they did for Muhammad al-Durra. www.seconddraft.org /impact_arab_world.php   (2135 words)

Cartoons represent animosity The Hamshahri newspaper has announced a contest it is holding for cartoons depicting the Holocaust in response to the images of Muhammad. As a community, I hope we denounce the response of the Hamshahri newspaper the same way we should denounce the depictions commissioned by the Jyllands-Posten, and fight insensitivity, ignorance, and hatred here at Bowdoin and in our lives beyond the campus. The actions of the Hamshahri are most certainly not the first of their kind, and I doubt, unfortunately, that they will be the last. orient.bowdoin.edu /orient/article.php?date=2006-02-10§ion=2&id=3   (813 words)
