Non-Sectarian There is one "laughing matter" in Buddhism: all the different Sectarian Buddhists should respect each other, but in reality, some of the high priests teach that their sect is better than the others. No wonder many sincere followers of Buddha are confused by sectarian priests. Now it is time to unify the sects again. www.zenyoga.org /non_sectarian.html

Sectarian violence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sectarian violence is violence or confrontation/conflict inspired by sectarianism, that is, between different sects of one religion. In many cases, sectarian violence is caused not only by sectarian differences but is often also a result of a power struggle or has social, economic, or nationalistic aspects -- as is, likewise, frequently true of inter-religious conflicts. To illustrate, was the 19th century conflict between Mormons and other Christian groups in the United States an example of sectarian or religious violence? en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sectarian_violence   (339 words)

Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan The genie of sectarian violence refuses to be bottled, and even as Musharraf exhorts the people of Pakistan to adopt "enlightened moderation", the country's tentative quest for a non-discriminatory liberal democracy continues to unravel. Sectarian terrorists in Pakistan are thriving in an atmosphere of religious intolerance for which its military government is largely to blame. In a situation where different sectarian groups are vying to prove themselves the standard-bearers of Islam, one strategy to secure prominence as a representative of "true Islam" is obviously by displaying extreme hostility and intolerance to those designated as being "un-Islamic" by virtue of belonging to religious minorities and minority sects. www.atimes.com /atimes/South_Asia/GF08Df01.html   (2122 words)

Operation Blue Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On the 3rd of June, a 36 hour curfew was imposed on the state of Punjab which increased the apprehensiveness of the militants inside the temple that a raid on the temple was imminent.

Sectarian Violence in Pakistan Confirmation of a nexus between terrorist training camps and sectarian violence emerged with the disclosure of a secret report prepared by the Sheikhupura police in Punjab province that 28 centres have been identified in Punjab province alone, which not only breed sectarian views, but also train "the mujahideen for jihad throughout the world". As sectarian parties entered the political fray to prevent the passage of any religious laws which were adverse to them, major political parties were ready to make political alliances with them. While efforts are being undertaken to tackle the sectarian problem in the long run, the enormity of the problem would need the government to target the root causes. www.jammu-kashmir.com /archives/archives1997/97november04a.html   (780 words)

"Sectarian Violence Returns to Egypt" (January 2000) Hopes that sectarian violence in Egypt was on the decline were suddenly dashed early this month by the outbreak of massive rioting in the southern Egyptian that left eighteen Coptic Christians and two Muslims dead. Sectarian tensions in el-Kusheh have been unusually high since the 1998 murder of two Christians in the village. The most puzzling aspect of the recent violence is the apparent absence of any prior agitation by Islamic fundamentalist groups, who have never had a presence in el-Kusheh. www.meib.org /articles/0001_me4.htm   (608 words)

Sectarian Violence On The Rise in Iraq Binne says that although he thinks a sectarian war can be avoided, tensions between the two communities will persist because of the shift of power from the Sunni minority that has traditionally ruled the country to the Shi'ites. The bombings were the latest in a rising number of attacks that have led many to express fears that the country is on the verge of a sectarian war. Nourizadeh says there is no doubt that sectarian violence was imported into the country by extremists such as Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi -- the top Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq. www.payvand.com /news/05/may/1198.html   (821 words)

[NYTr] Sectarian Violence in Chiapas Chamberlain warned that "the mayor's release has not put an end to the violence." "It is very likely that there will be a vengeful reaction and that the October municipal elections will become a battleground without any guarantees" of safety or fairness, the activist predicted. In the midst of the tension, the indigenous people who have suffered the worst violence are the Protestants, because the PRI, which was in power for 71 years until 2000, has also governed San Juan Chamula since the 1930s. In addition, the city education committee called them to say that their children -- ages six, nine and 12 -- would no longer be accepted in the neighbourhood school due to their new faith. olm.blythe-systems.com /pipermail/nytr/Week-of-Mon-20040809/004817.html   (1109 words)

Sectarianism Previously each lineage had mainly thought in terms of preserving its own teachings, but in recent centuries there has been a concern that the transmissions of some lineages have begun to fall by the wayside so it’s important to try to make sure they are all preserved, hence the name, the non-sectarian movement. The movement also had the effect of emphasising the value of all the different lineages and cutting though any sectarianism that had built up within the various institutions within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The present Dalai Lama is very concerned that this kind of sectarian fighting is brought to an end. www.buddhism-connect.org /?id=581   (1109 words)

Y-Press Online: Northern Ireland: Land Without Peace: History Extra troops were needed last month because violence occurred when the Orange Order, the largest pro-British Protestant fraternal group, marched through a Catholic area in Portadown. According to the 1991 Northern Ireland Census of Population, 53 percent of Belfast residents live in segregated all-Catholic or all-Protestant neighborhoods. While British troops installed the first one in 1969 to quash the violence between Catholic and Protestant mobs, area residents have erected others as protection from "the other side,'' which then builds a wall of its own. www.ypress.org /specialedition/ireland/081797_history.htm   (1098 words)

Islam does not permit sectarianism in any form or shape and Muslims should adhere to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Online NewsHour: Religious Clash- February 3, 2000 On Indonesia, the political and sectarian violence that erupted last year in East Timor has spread to other islands. As violence continues to spread across the Maluku islands, there seems little sign of an end to the cycle of violence and revenge in the name of religion. As this aid was being delivered on the Christian side, reminders of the violence were never far away -- a boy, filing a handle for a homemade gun. www.pbs.org /newshour/bb/asia/jan-june00/indonesia_2-3.html   (912 words)

"Sectarian Violence Erupts in Suweida" (December 2000) On November 28, however, violence flared again with the killing of a Druze farmer, Wasim Fahd, by Bedouin gunmen. On the evening of November 8, around 200 Druze students staged a sit-in at the campus of Damascus University, demanding that a letter urging Assad to end the violence be delivered to the Syrian president. Although most Bedouins became settled along the outskirts of Suweida and in nearby villages over the years, a small number have remained nomadic, grazing cattle much as their ancestors have for thousands of years. www.meib.org /articles/0012_s2.htm   (1017 words)

GN Online: Sectarian violence feared Security agencies are reported to be "extremely concerned" at the possibility of sectarian violence during upcoming polls. It is thought that groups angered by the ban placed on them believe that the polls would be a perfect time to express their anger, and embarrass the government. Police in the Jhang area believe that groups such as the LJ and the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), which is closely linked to the LJ, may be planning to disrupt the October 10 elections by staging terrorist action. www.gulf-news.com /Articles/print.asp?ArticleID=64579   (229 words)

Sectarian violence in Pakistan's commercial capital Following the recent round of attacks, a number of Islamic groups rejected sectarian violence and appealed for unity between Sunnis and Shiites. Karachi—Pakistan’s main commercial and industrial hub—has been rocked by a wave of sectarian violence in May and early June. That hostility has been exploited by various Islamic fundamentalist groups and, in some cases, turned in a sectarian direction. www.wsws.org /articles/2004/jun2004/pakis-j24_prn.shtml   (1224 words)

TIME Asia Magazine: The Road to Jihad? -- May. 10, 2004 Now the scale and ferocity of the April 28 violence is forcing Thais to confront the reality that Islamic militancy in the south has escalated into a national crisis. Any escalation of violence will depend, of course, on the leadership, organizational ability and funding of the handful of small separatist groups in the south. And though there had been a steadily rising tide of killings and attacks on security posts in the south in recent years, most officials and analysts dismissed the unrest as sporadic and low-level, blaming bandits as much as they did separatists—until last week's bloodbath. time.com /time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501040510-632144,00.html   (2053 words)

Nigeria: Prevent Further Bloodshed in Plateau State (Human Rights Watch, 11-5-2004) To prevent a further spread of violence, the authorities should take concrete measures including deploying an adequate number of police in areas of tension and disarming local militia in the state. “In light of the pattern of violence in Plateau State over recent months, with each community seeking to avenge attacks by their opponents, the latest outbreak should have come as no surprise to federal and state authorities,” said Takirambudde. Plateau State has been ravaged by interethnic conflict since an unprecedented outbreak of violence in the state capital, Jos, claimed as many as one thousand lives in September 2001. www.hrw.org /english/docs/2004/05/11/nigeri8568.htm   (590 words)

Non-Sectarian, but still Religious In order for the ideal of a universally available, publicly supported, and publicly controlled common school to be at all workable, the teaching of sectarian religion had to be excluded from the classroom. The idea that morality and character -- for many the central purposes of education -- could be included in the curriculum apart from the dogma of a sectarian faith was a difficult one for people who had recently lived under religious establishments to accept. Pointing to the fact that the Protestant version of the Bible was read in schools and that this Bible, contrary to Catholic doctrine, was read without comment or interpretation, this group continued to view the public schools as sectarian. members.aol.com /Endthewall/sectarian.htm   (590 words)

Pending Legislation: Faith-Based Programs Initiative "For sectarian institutions receiving public dollars, the challenge will be to provide non-sectarian and non-discriminatory service and be open to the same standards of accountability as those offered by other non-sectarian providers," said Steve Selig, chairman of UJC's Human Services and Social Policy Pillar. "President Bush went out of his way to note that sectarian and non-sectarian charities cannot replace the vital work being undertaken by government," he added. New York - February 5, 2001 -- United Jewish Communities (UJC) welcomes the Bush Administration's announcement this week of its intention to pursue a national effort to strengthen faith-based and other community organizations in meeting social needs in American communities. www.riverdalejewish.org /content_display.html?articleID=100670   (590 words)

Press Release by Congresswoman Pelosi The differences between non-sectarian religious organizations and pervasively sectarian religious organizations are very important and we must continue to respect these differences.

VNN - Non-Sectarian Vaisnava-Dharma When such sectarian Vaisnava principles become transcendental, that is, when they are freed from impersonalism, then they become Satvata-dharma, or religious principles related with the Supreme Truth. Swanlike persons consider the necessity for different practices according to one‘s qualification, so they are naturally detached from sectarian quarrels. Differences that arise from places, times, languages, behaviors, foods, dresses, and natures of various communities are incorporated within people s spiritual practices and gradually make one community so completely different from another community that even the consideration that everyone is a human being may cease to exist. www.vnn.org /publication/980504-1782/index.html   (590 words)
