Hi Just after posting my comment on Jim G's query, I received an e-mail promoting the following site:
http://www.islamic-world.net Have a look at the "Weekly Parenting Tips" which are described as "These Weekly Parenting Tips are provided by Brother Muhammad al'Mahdi, one of the world's most highly trained child/clinical psychologists." The first few appear sensible, but then one gets into promotion of Islam, all presumably justified as enlightened psychology. Jim G. will also find lots of references to "Shaitan" there, which suggests that his (Christian?) interest in Sin would be shared with at least one other religious group. Finally, with respect to religionists' use of "scientese", we get the quite forthright statement below. There is little doubt about the relative priority of science, reason, and the revealed word. "We at Islamic-World.net often use the language of modern scientific and logical discourse to explain and promote traditional Islamic belief and practice. To those unfamiliar with this use of language to further the cause of Islam please do not be alarmed. Although we use modern language and concepts in our presentation of Islamic belief and practice we are not Modernists. We support and work for a return to the traditional beliefs, values and practices of Islam, based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as the only way to successfully bring about a spiritual revitalization of the Muslim ummah, and to ultimately bring about a fully and truly Islamic world." There were links to comments about the War on Terror, but I didn't have a look at those. Best wishes Jim ============================================================================ James M.
