How did life start in the beginning and through what means? Does every one
of these innumerable species end in an individual living creature that is the
source of its particular species? If that is the case, how did that first
creature come into existence? Ordinarily, when theistic thinkers want to relate the matter of life to God
and Divine will, they bring up the problem of origin of life on the earth and
the question regarding the cause of the first emergence of life.
A genocide is taking place in Gaza. In fact, the reality in Gaza goes beyond "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". The right to exist is being stripped off the Palestinian nation; all the while the power of the US veto gives this genocide the required legal cover. Israel's genocidal policy against the Palestinians has been unremitting, extending from before the very foundation of the State of Israel in 1948, and is now at its most intensified stages in recent times. Viewers are urged to use discretion.
Saudi security forces have raided the house of popular Shia scholar, Sheikh Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr, and detained him in a yet unknown location. Early in the morning of Monday 16th March, Saudi internal security twice raided the house of the Sheikh, located in Al-Awwamiyyah in the Eastern Province, following which all contact with him was lost. The imprisonment of Sheikh Al-Nimr was expected after his harsh words directed towards the government in which he condemned the aggressions against Shia citizens in Madina. Sheikh Al-Nimr had also challenged the government directive that refrained Shias from performing congregational prayers on Friday in Al-Awwamiyyah. This flagrant attack against a popular Shia leader is indicative of the new modus operandi of the kingdom towards its Shia population in the aftermath of the clashes in Madina in which four Shia citizens were killed.
When we start comparing freedom according to Islam with freedom according to the democratic capitalist system, basic differences appear to us between the freedom which has been lived by the capitalist society and advocated by capitalism, and the freedom whose banner Islam has borne and adopted by the society which Islam has created, providing its own experience on history's stage. When we say "freedom", we mean thereby its general meaning; that is, rejection of others' domination, for this concept is the one we can find in both civilizations, even when its frame and intellectual base vary in both.
