"Historie jedné vraždy" Genrich Borovik (LN, 1981)



Sovětský publicista seznamuje s okolnostmi zavraždění černošského pastora Martina Luthera Kinga, nositele Nobelovy ceny míru, jednoho z vůdců hnutí za občanská práva ve Spojených státech, a s podivným způsobem vyšetřování atentátu. Na základě různorodého materiálu, který shromáždil, upozorňuje na přípravy FBI, které měly znemožnit Kingem připravovaný pochod chudých na Washington, a odhaluje rozpory ve svědeckých výpovědích při vyšetřování.

"Five tracts of Hasan Al-Banna (1906-1949): A selection from the Majmuat rasail al-Imam al-shahid Hasan al-Banna" Translated by Charles Wendell (University of California, 1978)

Obrázek
Hasan Al-Banna preceded with his work and thus left an imprint on many attempts in the years between the two wars, and especially after the Second World War, to constitute an Islamic order as the supreme political and social ideal. The publication under review contains his five studies translated into English by well-known Arabist and historian Charles Wendell. These are his most often cited essays - Between Yesterday and Today, Our Mission, To What Do We Summon Mankind?, Toward The Light and On Jihad. The main idea is always oriented toward the creation of an Islamic order (an-nizam al-islami). Hasan Al-Banna sees in Islam the only teaching that can ensure social progress and well-being and that is the key to the resolving of all basic problems of mankind. In the above-mentioned essays he tries to explain why, in his opinion, the establishment of an Islamic order is inevitable. According to his concept, there is only one valid law, namely the law of God that has to be impl...

Mohammed Abed al-Jabri "Avoid the hudud Penalties when in Doubt" *

Obrázek
Since the modern Arab Awakening, which soon swept across the entire  Muslim world, with the efforts of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (d. 1897CE)  and Muammad ‘Abduh (d. 1905CE), the Muslim masses have used the  slogan of ‘application of Islamic shariah´ to propound to the masses,  the alternative which they hoped would take them to the enjoyment of a  free and honourable life.  Every member of the Muslim masses, all over the  world, aspires to the day when Islamic shariah will be applied in a manner  that can remove political and social injustice, realize freedom and dignity  for the human being, and pave the way to good deeds and noble  conduct in order for these principles to become the bases of life in Islamic  society, nay, in the whole of human society.

"Korán", Ivan Hrbek (Odeon 1972)

Obrázek
Překlad Koránu od Ivana Hrbka je již třetí v pořadí a patří k těm nejlépe hodnoceným, neboť překladatel si byl vědom chyb a nedostatků v předešlých překladech (Čeština A.R.Nykl, stručný komentáře I.Veselého) a vyvaroval se jich. Jeho text je používán jak orientalisty a odborníky na islám, tak i česky mluvícími muslimy.

They have to take some accountability but at the end of the day now did once again we go back to the labels now it comes to a point where the labels are paying artists to emulate this, paying the artists in this genre, paying the artist to send these messages out to continue because they did see the effect that it had just like they saw the effect that empowerment of the conscious music had an effect. You saw the people walking around with African Pride black pride medallions, the gear self-worth and value, but then when you had the market for those records and the gangster s***t you saw the results of that as well.  So yes music does affect people it does contribute to people's behavior and the outcome and it's the same thing we're saying now i...
