Nation of Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Nation of Islam's The National Center and headquarters is located in Chicago Illinois and houses its flagship Mosque No. 2, Mosque Maryam in dedication to Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious and socio-political organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930 with a declared aim of "resurrecting" the spiritual, mental, social and economic condition of the black men and women of America and the rest of the world.

Gender in the Construction of Nations,Women are central to the project of nation-making and yet are denied a voice in it. What then, about those who fall outside of this frame of the heterosexual family? The feminizing of the nation as mother also allows us to see it as a family and therefore to revere and respect it as families are revered and respected. Today, when nations are being made and remade in all sorts of different ways, and when the voice of the State often blurs into the voices of the self appointed nationalists, then all those who resist and oppose these voices, are under threat. The ‘enemy’ nation, the ‘other’, knows this, and it is their attempt always to violate the bodies of women, so that this profound, inner, sacrosanct border, isviolated. www.combatlaw.org /information.php?article_id=327&issue_id=13   (2242 words)

Global Nation INQ7.net Mother to two sons and stepmother to 10 children, she can attest to the rewards of a mother's appeal to God. For Reyes, who lost her mother when she was six, and never found her father's body after he was declared a civilian casualty of an American air raid in 1945, the need to move on built her character. At an October 2004 hearing of the House committees on national defense and banks on alleged corruption in the military, Reyes was asked at one point about his reported huge assets. www.inq7.net /globalnation/sec_new/2005/may/07-06.htm   (1103 words)

National Atlases: Presenting the Nation's Cultural Geography Its title as a "statistical" rather than "national" atlas, perhaps one of the reasons this landmark federal publication is not better known today, must be understood in terms of the contemporary usage of the term "statistical." Today the term typically refers to quantitative information based on counts such as of people or the economy. The nation was equally interested in learning about its physical and human geographies, as is indicated by the increased publication of privately issued atlases throughout this period. It heralded the ethos of progress that dominated a reunited nation moving toward its centennial celebration, especially in "The Progress of the Nation," as one of its sections proclaims. memory.loc.gov /ammem/gmdhtml/census2.html   (2155 words)

Militarisation, Nation and Gender: Women's Bodies as Arenas of Violent Conflict by Rubina Saigol Here the various elements of nationalism are all woven together; the sacrificing but proud mother, the connection between the mother's lap and the land/grave, the soldier as the son of the soil who was killed defending the honour of the motherland. The figure of the mother appears in nationalistic poetry and war songs as the bearer of brave sons, the sacrificing brave mother who suffers in silence, the proud mother who bore the shaheed and who salutes him. Nevertheless, the symbolic appropriation of woman as mother into the nation-state carries immense emotional investment. www.sacw.net /Wmov/RubinaSaigol.html   (4394 words)

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Mother kills raped daughter to restore 'honor' The fact she is a mother who was trying to protect her family's honor mitigates the crime of premeditated murder, which is punishable by death under Palestinian law, he adds. ABU QASH, West Bank — Raped by her brothers and impregnated, Rofayda Qaoud refused to commit suicide, her mother recalls, even after she bought the 17-year-old a razor with which to slit her wrists. While honor killings committed in the heat of the moment — for example, by a husband who catches his wife in bed with another man — generally carry a six-month to one-year jail term, Qaoud will likely be sentenced to three to five years in prison, Tarifi says. seattletimes.nwsource.com /html/nationworld/2001793273_honorkilling17.html   (984 words)

Intersections: The Nation is a Woman: The Korean Nation Embodied as an Overseas Adopted Korean Woman in Chang Kil-su's Susanne Brink's Arirang Furthermore it was a bear-woman [ungnyô] who mothered the nation in the form of Tan'gun, the mythical progenitor of all Koreans, and it is no coincidence that shamanism, predominantly practised by women, is considered to be the most atavistic and timeless of all religions in Korea. [2] The nation imagined as a female body gives rise to strong familial connotations, and it is the task of patriarchal nationalism and male power, often represented by the government and military, to rescue and defend, sacrifice and in the end die for her. Moreover, her new mother forces her to undress, take a bath and change clothes unaware of the vital significance Susanne invests in the dress that was given to her by her Korean mother on the day of her departure. wwwsshe.murdoch.edu.au /intersections/issue11/hubinette.html   (6568 words)

African American Review: Mother Imagery in the Novels of Afro-Caribbean Women. - book review Although Xuela, in Kincaid's Autobiography of My Mother, cannot "call her nation" because of the loss of her mother and subsequent negative behavior and fragmentation (she has no mother, father, or motherland), she becomes the classic metaphor for alienation and lack of continuities and bonds. Mother Imagery in the Novels of Afro Caribbean Women is a major contribution to African Diaspora Studies, which has gained much literary and critical energy in the past ten years. The mother country is cited as colonial Europe, and in other parts of the book, the United States/America is also called the mother country. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2838/is_1_36/ai_85185733   (1409 words)

Translation: Language Movement was more than for just language (Abul Mansur Ahmad) That is why when the East-Bengalis, as constituents of an independent nation, demanded that their mother tongue be the national language, the demand that spearheaded a movement of the youth and the student to sacrifice their lives, it was on the surface a demand for their own language. The influence, scope, and significance of the mother tongue is so vital in national life, as it is in individual life. Those who became martyred to establish their mother tongue, instead of others' tongue, as the state language, it is only the outer dimension of their struggle. www.globalwebpost.com /farooqm/writings/trans_bangla/abul_mansur/language.htm   (937 words)

non whites for white nation - Stormfront White Nationalist Community It is a tragedy of monumental proportions to make the ultimate sacrifice not in defense of your own nation and people, but on behalf of those who are working at home to destroy the heritage and freedom of that nation.
