		Islam may be one of the world's most important religions, but in the West, at least, it has an image problem.
		Islam is a religion held dear by nearly a billion people, and it shouldn't surprise us that there are more than a handful of extremists.
		In this dreary context, Islam is a balm and a salve.

	About Islam
		Islam is a timeless religion, not just because of the "eternal truth" that it proclaims but also because it is "every person's religion," the natural religion in which every person is born.
		Islam encompasses personal faith and piety, the creed and worship of the community of believers, a way of life, a code of ethics, a culture, a system of laws, an understanding of the function of the state--in short, guidelines and rules for life in all its aspects and dimensions.
		Islam is definitely an inclusivistic religion in the sense that it recognizes God's sending of messengers to all peoples and his granting of "Scripture and Prophethood" to Abraham and his descendants, the latter resulting in the awareness of a very special link between Muslims, Jews, and Christians as all Abraham's children.

	Islam in Brazil - Convert Maria Moreira examines the history and current state of the Muslim community in Latin ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The lack of interest in spreading Islam is quite clear when one observes that the institution which is responsible for "Dawah" not only in Brazil but in all Latin America, doesn't maintain a website about Islam.
		All of this proves that Islam is not an alien to the Brazilian culture.
		Presenting Islam to the Brazilian people in a comprehensive manner is important not just to preach one religion; it is also to help them to restore their original culture, carefully erased due to political and religious interests in the past.

	Ancient Egypt - Light of Islam
		Egypt is an ancient land about which abundant scientific research has been carried out owing to its wealth of ancient monuments and archaeological treasures that have survived intact and much has been written about them.
		Religion Laws and traditions that existed in Egypt accorded the king a divine position, but no laws about justice and equity Courts did exist which were however held by the representatives of the minister and the feudal lords to see to the claim of the subject.
		Thus Egypt was typical idol-worshipping country in its social life in which the rulers enjoyed absolute power and besides them were the high priests and clergy, the military and the feudal lords who exercised a relative degree of power.

	Egypt - Contemporary Islam
		Prior to Napoleon's invasion, almost all of Egypt's educational, legal, public health, and social welfare issues were in the hands of religious functionaries.
		Ottoman rule reinforced the public and political roles of the ulama (religious scholars) because Islam was the state religion and because political divisions in the country were based on religious divisions.
		Egypt's largely uneducated urban and rural lower classes were intensely devoted to Islam, but they lacked a thorough knowledge of the religion.

	The rise of Islam in Egypt, and Islamic persecution of Christians. Why were you born in Islam?
		The rise of Islam in Egypt, and Islamic persecution of Christians.
		The historical facts herein are derived from the history of the rise of Islam in Egypt, which provides a paradigm of the history of the spread of Islam in conquered Christian nations under Islamic persecution.
		This is most pronounced in Islam because, in Islamic countries, the power of the Islamic government enforces the rule of the Islamic law that a person born to Muslim parents is recorded as Muslim in the state’s birth records.

		Sharia is the attempt to derive a comprehensive code for living from Islam's sacred text, the Quran, and from accounts of how the prophet Muhammad lived his life.
		Egypt was among the first places where Islam was used to legitimize a violent response to Western influence.
		Egypt is the most populous and the most influential Arab state, and since the 1970s, the Islamists there --with growing vigor, in growing numbers, and with growing support -- have infiltrated the courts, the universities, the schools, the arts.

	RADICAL ISLAM IN EGYPT: A COMPARISON OF TWO GROUPS
		At a time when Egypt faced the challenges of colonialism, economic and cultural dependence, rapid industrialization and urbanization, and a massive population explosion, (2) the Muslim Brotherhood called for a return to the original fundamentals of Islam.
		Since Egypt's failure to implement shari`a made it an infidel pagan state placed under excommunication (Takfir), all true Muslims were duty-bound to wage holy struggle (jihad) against the regime, an idea alien to traditional Islam.
		Its goal was the revival of Islam not so much by harmonizing it with modern times as advocated by the reformers, but by a return to the pristine Islam of the pious forbears (salaf).

	Andrew C. McCarthy on War on National Review Online
		These include Egypt's "moderate" Muslim Brotherhood, which has very helpfully suggested that perhaps the Israeli government had its own citizens killed to distract the world's attention from the suffering of Palestinians.
		Militant Islam has tried periodically, and mightily, to decapitate the secular Egyptian regime for over a quarter century — ever since President Anwar Sadat committed the ultimate betrayal by making peace with Israel in 1979, after Egypt had failed to annihilate the nascent Jewish state by launching wars of aggression in 1948, 1967, and 1973.
		Egypt has thus long swayed between uneasy peace and the brink of civil war, while Mubarak and his ministers have been targeted repeatedly for assassination.

	et - Full Story
		Bunt dedicates a large part of this book to defining the greater and lesser forms of e-jihad; hacking for Islam; patterns in the use of e-mail, message forums and chat rooms; post-9/11 mujahideen in cyberspace; and electronic efforts to achieve jihad for peace.
		In his concluding comments on e-jihad, Bunt asserts that the Islamic lane on the information superhighway reflects “varied and sophisticated notions of jihadi symbolism based in part on traditional interpretations of the concept,” but that the extent to which these cyber Islamic environments represent a “digital sword” is still open to question.
		Bunt’s two books combined are groundbreaking canonical texts for students of both virtual Islam and, in a wider sense, those studying religion and the internet.

	Islamic Egypt
		When Islam entered Egypt after the defeat of the Romans on the hands of the Arabs, most Egyptians converted to the new religion while some Egyptians remained Christians.
		Amr Ibn El-A'as and his soldiers entered Egypt and struggled with the Romans, who occupied Egypt and Syria and caused their people all sorts of misfortune.
		The commitment of the Egyptians in early ages with Islam, and the engagement of their history with the Islamic ideology, have strengthen the most powerful tie, and strongest relations between them and their faith.

		But I have a penpal in Egypt and he said that he can probably help me find a decent flat for less than what they are charging on edar or one of those other housing sites.
		You can live quite cheaply in Egypt, and also quite well, if you eat local food and don't eat out a lot, but your food tastes and the style of life you want to/are able to live will be the big determinant on the size of the budget you will need to live on here.
		The flat they arranged for her was very close to the Dokki Fajr centre, beautiful, fully equipped and very very clean, wow, mashaAllah, but also the amount of EGP 2.500,-- per month could have been used in a better way (my opinion), and it was quite noisy at rush hour.
