Faith-Centered Families Don't Need Disney Anymore, But Does Disney Need Them?
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 1999: "[One reason the Ummah may disappear is that they] adopt the modern world and forget their traditional values."] ARTICLE: There are about 38 million U.S. households (about 1/3) who live lives significantly persuaded by their faith. New research on these faith households, which include evangelicals, Catholics, Muslims, and Jews, finds that 84% of them "lean conservative." However, major corporations have increasingly left faith-driven households out of their financial equations, claims Brad Benbow, a growth strategist who has advises Fortune 500 companies and co-author of "Spiritugraphics." In their marketing plans, they ignore how people's beliefs drive their decisions." As a culture at Disney, do they view people from traditional and faith-centric families as, essentially, bigots?" he asks. The marketing guru points out that "most of the world" has for millennia viewed "the traditional family model as the norm." Pew Research reports ...

Jamil Jivani: Wokeness -- the new religion of the left
NATIONALPOST.COM -- Elite activists and Big Tech endlessly promote conspiracy theories suggesting religious believers will seize power and force their religious views onto others. While they look upon the faithful with contempt, these elitists hypocritically force their new, godless religion upon the public: wokeness. Wokeness is the belief that discrimination is present at all times. However, wokeness is mostly performative and ritualistic. Its adherents show piety by simply reciting approved political scriptures about alleged injustices and condemning others for not being woke enough, without actually helping anyone overcome injustice. Wokeness appropriates many concepts found in traditional faiths: blasphemers (with "problematic" opinions), heretics (targeted by social media mobs), damnation (cancellation), sin (privilege), righteousness (victimhood) ...

Sufi Contents of Ismaili Ginans and Hindu Influence -- BoAI Vol #3
GOOGLE.COM -- Our ginans are an invaluable treasure we Ismailis have inherited from our Pirs and sayyids. They can be classified as hymns of devotion and piety; hymns ethical in essence; "venti" (prayer) and metaphysical hymns. I shall limit this discussion to ginans in which firstly the writers make human beings (higher selves or souls) realise their real status and make them aware of the destination they have to reach, and secondly they show the way (tariqa) by which to attain the goal (ma'rifa). In order to discuss this particular sufi content, I have selected most of the verses from Imam Begum's collections because I think she is the most comprehensive of all in this aspect. We must not forget ...

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. |
