They are 'civilised' and 'look like us': the racist coverage of Ukraine
[H/T SIMERG] -- THEGUARDIAN.COM -- Western media outlets, including CBS (USA), the BBC and ITV (UK), BFM TV (France), the Telgraph (UK), have been roundly criticisted for racist media coverage of the Ukrainian situation. Their coverage is peppered with remarks such as: "[unlike] Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades Ukraine is a relatively civilized, relatively European" or "We're not talking here about Syrians fleeing [bombs] ... We're talking about Europeans" or "They seem so like us. Ukraine is a European country. ... War is no longer something visited upon impoverished and remote populations." The implication is clear: war is a natural state for people of color, while white people naturally gravitate toward peace. If we decide to help Ukrainians because they happen to look like "us" or dress like "us" or pray like "us," then we have shown ourselves as giving up on civilization and opting for barbarism instead. ...

Need for Research in Our History -- BoAI Vol #1
GOOGLE.COM -- I may mention here the name of a great Sunni Muslim theologian, Al-Ghazzali, whose writings debased the Ismailis in the eyes of Muslim world. His books namely, "Hujjat-ul-Haqq, Mufassil-ul-Khalif, Kasimul-Batinia, Muwahim-ul-Batinia and Mustazahiri", which he wrote against Ismaili teachings but have since disappeared, have been the cause of great friction between Sunnis and Ismailis. The readers of this article would be exceedingly surprised to learn that the author himself denounced all the books as being devoid of facts and reality in his famous work, "Jawahirul-Quran", which he compiled later. "Mustazahiri" was written by him, as he admits, at the instigation of Mustazahirbilah, Abbasid Khaliph, whose name the book indicates. When authors like Ghazzali could be hired and set against Ismailis by their ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
