	Homosexuality and Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In traditional Islamic societies it is considered normal for a man to be drawn to beautiful male youths, but the religion of Islam, while acknowledging the universality and power of this desire, admonishes the believer not to yield to this temptation.
		Homosexuality as an attraction is not against the Sharia (which governs the physical actions, not the inner thoughts and feelings), it is only the physical action of same-sex intercourse that is punishable under the Sharia.
		Thus, homosexual desire and love are accommodated, but same-sex intercourse is prohibited, as Islam teaches that such intercourse is a violation of the natural boundaries set by Allah.

	One Hand Clapping
		In the contemporary camp, Islamics, Christians, and Jews, as well as Hindus, Shintoists, Buddhists, etc. are all living together in more-or-less happy unison.
		There is just nothing similar to the writings of the Hebrew prophets of the Bible in Islamic literature, whether Qur'an, hadiths, or sirah (lives of Muhammad).
		As long as the Americans control Saudi Arabia, in his view, Islamic purity cannot be established in "the land of the two holy places," as he sometimes called Saudi Arabia.

	The islamic fundamentalist view of life as a perennial battle
		Against the views held by traditionalists of Jews and Christians as protected "dhimmis" and "people of the Book," fundamentalists link contemporary Western supremacy to the historic opposition of Jews and Christians to Muhammad in the 7th century, and also to texts in Quran and Hadith with anti-Christian and anti-Jewish implications.
		Qutb views jihad as both defensive and offensive, stating that jahiliyya is always evil in whatever form it manifests itself and jihad by force (bil saif) must be used to annihilate evil jahili regimes, replacing them by Islamic systems.
		Islamic fundamentalism offers a radical reinterpretation of traditional Islamic concepts, and its discourse on the subject of battle serves to mobilize believers, warn them against those identified as enemies, and encourage them to train, organize, and actively participate in the battle.

	The Qur'an, Islam's Holy Book and Scripture - The Islamic and Christian Views of Jesus: A Comparison
		Muslims take their information about Jesus from two main sources: the Qur'an, the direct word of God, as revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as well as the Hadith, or the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad.
		Christians believe that Jesus performed these miracles because he was the Son of God as well as the incarnation of God.
		With the exception of the Unitarian Christians, who do not believe in the Divinity of Christ, the Trinity, according to the Catholic encyclopedia, is the term used for the central doctrine of the Christian religion.

	MSN Encarta - Muhammad (prophet)
		Muhammad (prophet) (570?-632), founder of Islam, whose prophetic teachings, encompassing political and social as well as religious principles, became the basis of Islamic civilization and have had a vast influence on world history.
		Muhammad probably heard Christians and Jews expound their religious views at commercial fairs in Mecca, and, troubled by the questions they raised, he periodically withdrew to a cave outside Mecca to meditate and pray for guidance.
		Muhammad proclaimed his own message, the Qur'an, to be the last revealed Book and himself to be the last of the prophets, consummating and superseding the earlier ones.

	Encyclopedia: Islam as a political movement
		The Islamic state was expanded by Muhammad himself to encompass all of the Najd and Hijaz regions, as well as Yemen and Oman, and his closest companions, the four "rightly guided" Caliphs who succeeded him, continued to expand the state to encompass Jerusalem, Ctesiphon, and Damascus, and sending raids as far as the Sindh [1].
		Fundamentalist Islamic political movements tend to be called Islamist in the contemporary Western media; such political movements adopt traditional views of Islamic law by ascribing to one of the four madhabs of fiqh that originated in Arabia, during the late medieval era.
		The Islamic state, during the times of the classicial scholars, was in fact an expanding Islamic empire that streched from Al-Andalus (Muslim Spain) to Persia, under the reign of the Ummayad dyansty (which descended from Muhamamd's tribe, the Quraysh).

	Islamic caliphate - SourceWatch
		These views have inspired new conceptions of Islamic economics and a more general Islamization of knowledge that build on these norms to a new conception of a "caliphate" that would be quite compatible with some notions of modern secular democracy, e.g.
		The historical caliphs and their examples as rulers, documented to a somewhat lesser extent than the sira or life of Muhammad.
		To these a re-establishment of "Islamic caliphate" means essentially a re-establishment of the Ottoman Empire and its continued evolution from where it ended in 1918, with perhaps more local autonomy.

	WLUML: News and Views
		When we discussed Islamic feminism and the curricula in pesandrens, he gave the example of a 19th Century liberal treatise on the rights of the two spouses Uqud Al Lujain fi Banan and Huqug Al Zawjaini, written by the Indonesian scholar Muhammad Ibn Umar Nawawi, who had studied in Mecca and at Al Azhar.
		Islamic discourse is part of this feminist discourse, which has plural strands, whereas Islamic feminism is grounded in Islamic discourse, as it is paramount or exclusive discourse.
		For example, we have run the long campaign for many years, led by some women in Egypt, using the discourse of Islamic feminism to argue that there was nothing in the religion of Islam barring women from becoming judges.

		The Sunni Muslims are of the opinion that Prophet Muhammad set no guidelines for the institution of leadership after his death, and that it was upon the Muslims themselves to come up with a system of leadership.
		Shī‘ī school of thought believes that Islam is a complete way of life, and therefore it is inconceivable that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would have ignored the issue of leadership after his death.
