The Veil And The British Male Elite, Ali Khan
The Veil And The British Male Elite, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
All over the world, the law permits employers to impose reasonable grooming standards on employees. For example, the police officers may be prohibited from donning hippie hair and the schoolteachers may not be permitted to wear short skirts. Azmi will have a weak legal claim if the school can show a factual linkage between veil and teaching inefficacy. But that is not the point the British male elite, though known for their love of legal formalisms, is making. Their argument goes beyond the grooming standards at workplace. They wish to assimilate immigrant women into a prototypical woman who caters for …

On the fifth anniversary of 9/11, President George Walker Bush delivered an illegal speech and may have committed an international crime, that is, the crime of direct and public incitement to commit genocide of a religious group.
Hagarism: The Story Of A Book Written By Infidels For Infidels, Ali Khan
Hagarism: The Story Of A Book Written By Infidels For Infidels, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
The book titled "Hagarism: The Making of the Islamic World," questions just about everything Muslims believe as historical truths. It challenges the common belief that the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad over a period of 22 years (610-632) in Mecca and Medina. Instead, the book contends that the Quran was composed, possibly in Syria or Iraq, more than fifty years after the Prophet's death, projected back in time, and attributed to the Prophet. The Quran, according to the book, was fabricated during the reign of Caliph Abdul Malik (685- 705) to legitimize an expanding empire. The book also contends …
Free Markets Of Islamic Jurisprudence, Ali Khan
Free Markets Of Islamic Jurisprudence, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
This Article examines both internal and external scholarships and their respective contributions to the fiqh markets. It first explains that the fiqh markets are sustained through internal scholarship that shapes the rules of Islamic law. It later examines the role of external scholarship that might influence these markets. Although the fiqh markets are essentially Islamic, the external scholarship may offer clarifying insights and constructive criticisms. Such external scholarship may not directly influence the development of fiqh, but its indirect impact on the fiqh markets cannot be ignored. Finally, the Article also discusses the disengaged scholarship that manufactures disrespect against the …
An Islamic View Of The Battlefield, Ali Khan
An Islamic View Of The Battlefield, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
Islam rejects all conceptions of holy war. Muslims are not allowed to engage in any aggressive war to spread Islam or to impose its faith or laws on others. Muslims do not believe that God is at war with Satan, nor that He needs human help to win this battle. Any such belief is contrary to God's Unity and Sovereignty. God is above all human conflicts, and He has no conflict with Satan or any other force in the universe. God is Supreme and in complete control of all things that exist or belong to the world of the unknown. …
Forcing Them To Be Free: Bush's Project For The Muslim World, Ali Khan
Forcing Them To Be Free: Bush's Project For The Muslim World, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
Employing evangelical rhetoric, the Bush administration has launched an ambitious plan to bring democracy to the Muslim world. Several past presidents of the United States have endorsed the concept of popular government for various reasons. President George W. Bush draws on democracy to fight Islamist terrorism and spread liberty. The proposed democratisation of Muslim nations embodies a complex blend of American self-interest and the paternalistic American desire to reform the world. It is unclear whether the democracy initiative will survive the Bush government. The next president may scrap the entire project as unworkable or too expensive. However, if the US …
