I Advice - Such a Disgrace!
Temptations for spending are around every corner. There, in the store window is a great looking plasma television that would just light up your living room wall. Yet, the only way to pay for it is with your credit card. It would be so easy. After all, everyone else is doing it. Purchasing with plastic is the American way – isn’t it?Unfortunately it is. Society today seems to think that living beyond our means is an acceptable way of life. We love to have those things we ca
Many religious leaders have expressed the need for harmony and unity in the fight against terror. Ironically, the biggest obstacle seems to be the political leaders who are fully occupied with demonizing "axis’s of evil" and "opponents of freedom". There is need

Western political elites especially are applying an approach, portraying Islam as the root cause of terror. This is dangerous. It threatens to demonize followers of a specific religion thereby running the risk of producing endless counter-demonizations adding to a security dilemma of Cold War type where every step taken by one part is perceived as a threat by the other who then has to retaliate… Essentially, the approach is also an assault on the religion Islam itself. It implies that all Muslims are extremists, which is as inaccurate as saying that the ultra rightwing moral majority in USA fairly represents Christianity. One of many shortcomings in the world of today is judging Islam by the conduct of a minority of its people. If a religion is to be judged on its role in conflict this should logically be done on the basis of its sources, not on the basis of extreme acts of a tiny minority of its self-proclaimed followers. In the case of Islam the sources are the Qur’an and Sunna (teachings of prophet Muhammad), e.g.: "Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that hopefully you will pay heed" (Qur’an, 16:90).
Even though religions are essentially about building peace, they are unfortunately sometimes misinterpreted and misused. When this happens it is a result of constructions of the mind about religion and about "the other". In the current global conflict between religious fundamentalists and secularists, for instance, each party perceives and talks about the other as posing threats to their societal orders and ways of living. When secularists preach secular state, pluralism, and abolishment of Sharia-laws, fundamentalists perceive it as attacks on Islam. Secularists on the other hand perceive religious fundamentalism as an existential threat to their societies and ways of life. They almost regard the secular society as something holy. What were once open societies have become xenophobic entities.

The Senate is, and has been for some years, the only hope for reason on the soap-opera that is Washington politics. By contrast, the House of Representatives is the nitwitery of lawmaking.Example #4,278 (and counting) came yesterday, as they released their years-long grip on the minimum wage, only after holding a gun to the head of the poor.A little background. The current minimum wage is $5.15 an hour and hasn’t been adjusted since it was passed in (get this) 1996. · Fi

Many religious leaders have expressed the need for harmony and unity in the fight against terror. Ironically, the biggest obstacle seems to be the political leaders who are fully occupied with demonizing "axis’s of evil" and "opponents of freedom". There is need for clarification of religion and its relationship to conflict. Firstly, it must be appreciated that it is not religion as such but specific fundamentalist constructions of religion that produces conflict. Secondly, religious fundamentalism itself tends to transform religion into ideology. This is an assault on religion that can only be done well through re-mystification.
Religious conflicts are a product of misperception in our minds. Let us not create another cold war conflict based on them. No religion legitimizes conflict! His Excellency, Mohamed Khatami, Presedent of Iran, once complained in an inter-religious forum: "Dialogue amongst civilizations, particularly dialogue between Islam and Christianity is vital, essential and inevitable. Today, people speak of the global village. However, the problem is that residents of this global village are unable to understand each other. Isn’t it catastrophic that people of this village are deaf and dumb and worse than that, they have hostile thoughts toward each other".
