The Protection Of Women And Children In Islamic Law And International Humanitarian Law: A Critique Of John Kelsay”, Hamdard Islamicus, Xxv (3) (July-September 2002), Pp. 69-82, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

Islam introduced the most humane rules in warfare before other religions or faiths could do it. Most authors acknowledge this fact, however, John Kelsay, Fredrick Donner, and few others doubt Islam's enormous contribution to bring in humanity in warfare. These authors assume that Islam has learned humanitarian principles, such as the principle of distinction, from the pre-Islamic practices; that Imam Al-Shafi'i allowed the killing of all women whether combatant or non-combatant; that even the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) allowed the killing of women and children; and that women and children can be enslaved. This work completely rebuts all …


A Tale Of Three Markets: The Law And Economics Of Predatory Lending Apr 2002

A Tale Of Three Markets: The Law And Economics Of Predatory Lending

Patricia A. McCoy

Predatory lending - the practice of making exploitative high-cost loans to naive borrowers - has spurred policy-makers, activists, lenders and scholars to debate whether intervention is warranted and, if so, what type of intervention is appropriate. The solution requires understanding the incentives in the home mortgage market that have fueled predatory lending. Recent changes in the credit market have created new possibilities for lenders to profit by exploiting information asymmetries to the detriment of unsophisticated borrowers. As a result, a new, predatory lending market has emerged alongside the legitimate prime and subprime home mortgage markets. Neither market forces nor existing …


The Purge Of Mortgage In Japanese Civil Law, Wei Zhang Jan 2002

The Purge Of Mortgage In Japanese Civil Law, Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang

The purge of mortgage is believed to be one of the few French remnants in the otherwise largely German style Japanese Civil Code. Since the breakdown of Japanese asset price bubble in early 1990s, it has been blamed as one major obstacle to clearing up nonperforming loans held by Japanese banks, and a central target subject to abolishment. In this paper, I analyzed the structural problems existing in the Japanese purge system and also probed the history and social background behind the debates about its abolishment. I proposed that, instead of total abolition, a restructured purge system, in particular getting …

Wojtylan Insight Into Love And Friendship: Shared Consciousness And The Breakdown Of Solidarity, Scott Fitzgibbon Dec 2001

Wojtylan Insight Into Love And Friendship: Shared Consciousness And The Breakdown Of Solidarity, Scott Fitzgibbon

Scott T. FitzGibbon

There is a fundamental clash in contemporary society between, on the one hand, an orthodox Christian understanding of human dignity and of what is required of us if we are to respect and honour the dignity of every human being and, on the other hand, a secularist vision of human existence. In his great Encyclical Evangelium Vitae, 'The Gospel of Life', Pope John Paul II identified as the practical expression of this clash the conflict between what he called the 'culture of life' and the 'culture of death'. The present volume explores the roots of the two cultures, contemporary manifestations …

Marriage And The Good Of Obligation, Scott T. Fitzgibbon Dec 2001

Marriage And The Good Of Obligation, Scott T. Fitzgibbon

Scott T. FitzGibbon

Marriage is obligatory. This is not to say, of course, that bachelorhood must be avoided or that everyone ought to get married. The point, rather, is that those who do wed form a relationship which embraces obligation as a fundamental component ("commitment norms," as Professor Elizabeth Scott has put it). This article aims to show why this is a good thing, and fundamentally so. Marriage and other affiliations, it seems, may involve obligation in two basic ways. The first way is instrumentally. The projects of married life require long-term commitment and fixity of purpose: raising children and paying off the …
