THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2003: "[Education] must also stimulate students to consider a variety of perspectives on some of the fundamental questions posed by the human condition: 'What is truth?' 'What is reality?' and 'What are my duties to my fellow man, to my country and *to God?*'"] ARTICLE: The US Supreme Court's June 21, 6-3 ruling shows learning doesn't happen in a moral vacuum, and it's dangerously absurd to insist otherwise. Both the majority and dissenting opinions illuminate a truth about education and religion: the two are closely intertwined. All education is religious, and all religion involves education. Although people think schools have replaced religous values and beliefs with knowledge and skills, they are sorely mistaken. All schools are quite religious, it's just that their religion is secular humanism. They've replaced God with model human beings (world leaders, civil rights activists, scientists, etc.) not to mention, the unrelenting effort to replace the home and church community with the school community. That makes every non-secular school ...
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2006: "But if freedom of religion deteriorates into freedom from religion, then societies will find themselves lost in a bleak and unpromising landscape with no compass, no roadmap and no sense of ultimate direction." ~~ "A healthy sense of public integrity, in my view, will be difficult to nurture over time without a strong religious underpinning." ~~ "How can we inspire people to reach beyond rampant materilaism, self-indulgent individualism, and unprincipled relativism?"] ARTICLE: The West is facing its deepest crisis and addressing the crisis requires removing militant secularists' monopoly on education, former U.S. Attorney General, William Barr said at a Chicago conference. He explained self-government cannot exist without a citizenry that is committed to traditional religion. But anti-religious forces now control the minds of American kids due to their monopoly on U.S. education institutions. "You can't finesse it anymore. You can't pretend what's being taught in schools is compatible with traditional religion, nor can you pretend schools are neutral any more." "The last couple of hundred years [has created a new] worldview that boils questions of morality solely down to an individual's internal feelings." Barr said anti-religion leftists have effectively ...

GOOGLE.COM -- Salman Farsi, probably the greatest saint of Ismailism, the devoted servant of the Prophet, and the ardent follower of Mawlana Ali and of the Imams, is a figure in the history of Islam which is familiar to all Ismailis, and is much revered by them. His name is also sacred to all Shi'ites, to Sufis. It, therefore, may be surprising that we have so remarkably little authentic information about Salman. There are many early hadiths which show that the legend of Salman was already well known at quite an early time. In view of the importance of the part which he played in the origin of Shi'ism, and thus of Ismailism, every intelligent Ismaili would be interested to hear ...

Originally, I surveyed Americans and 76% believed they deserve to know when a human's life begins in order to give informed consent to abortion procedures; 93% believe a human's life is worthy of legal protection once it begins; and 80% said biologists were "most qualified to answer the question, 'When does a human's life begin?'." So I surveyed professors in biology departments of over 1,000 institutions around the world and 96% of responding biologists affirmed that a human life begins at fertilization. ...

No, I didn't make this up.

We propose to call this practice 'after-birth abortion', rather than 'infanticide.' ... We claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be. Such circumstances ...
