RT.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: In our first Editor's Choice email, we quoted Dr Richard Horton, Editor of The Lancet, who said in 2015 that "much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue." See: http://isma.li/5leskp] [UPDATE: 5 JUN 2020 -- Both The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine have fully retracted the Surgisphere papers about purported dangerous affects of hydroxychloroquine.] ARTICLE: The World Health Organization has resumed trials involving the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine following doubts about US research which had led to their suspension. The much-publicized study in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, reported that taking the drug was associated with increased risks of in-hospital deaths. However, serious questions have been raised about the data used in that study and the Lancet issued an "expression of concern" over the study on Wednesday. A *Guardian investigation* found that Surgisphere's employees "have little or no data or scientific background," with one appearing to be a sci-fi author and fantasy artist. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said ...

Understanding the Aga Khan's Speech in History by Hussein Rashid
[H/T SAHIL BADRUDDIN] -- STATEOFFORMATION.ORG -- Although the Aga Khan is speaking in the moment to concerns of the moment, the fact is that he is continuing a centuries-old push to create a more just and fair society, one that has to be predicated on individual, human interaction.... As the Imam, or Divinely appointed head of the community, it would be a mistake to read his comments as a concern for the moment ... During this span of time of the [Ismaili] Imamate, the message has been amazingly consistent. ...

Majlis 14 -- The Followers of the Imam Should Be Fair to Others -- Qadi al-Nu'man's Code of Conduct for the Followers of Imam
GOOGLE.COM -- Oppression is a sort of disobedience to God. He who obeys the Imams obeys God and His Prophet and he who disobeys them disobeys God and His Prophet. To oppress the 'momins' and the friends of the Imams is as bad as to oppress the Imams. It is a horrible sin. It is forbidden by God in general. His threat is always hanging on the head of the oppressor.... Hostility, fighting, slandering or harming are the different forms of oppression. Calumniating person by spreading false news against him is also included in the category of oppression. Those who speak the truth and are fair minded, never fabricate scandalous things about others and indulge in this kind of oppression. ...

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. |
