“And God Said”
Watatsumi is considered by some traditions to be the same god as Ryujin. Ptah began as a local god in Memphis but as the influence of Memphis expanded over Egypt, he became popular elsewhere as well. Three years earlier, she began hearing voices one day while working outdoors at her home in Domrémy in Champagne region. He also became patron of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, where he gave his most famous speech, “Islam and the West” in 1993. As prince he also praised the likes of Martin Lings, an English Muslim convert and expert on Shakespeare, for his work on Islam, writing a foreword to one of Lings’ books. In that 1993 Oxonian speech, he noted, “Córdoba in the 10th century was by far the most civilised city of Europe,” referring to the Spanish city then under Muslim rule. In one speech, he noted, “Islam can teach us today a way of understanding and living in the world which Christianity itself is the poorer for having lost.
But Charles is more atypical in one further way-his insistence that Islam, as a religion, has something to offer the West today. It is true and represents faithfully His offer and promise of forgiveness and eternal life to those who meet His criteria of belief in His Son. Like all earlier prophets Moses, Jesus all has brought Islam, however humans (popes, pandits, Moulana’s) who control the religions has twisted the message to their desires. The last of series of messengers ie avatars (Adam, Nouh before 100Kyears ago), are the lineage of Abraham (5000yrs) are Moses, Jesus,… His lineage has 3 major prophets prophet Moses, prophet ISA (peace be upon him), prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). Today’s father of civilisation is prophet Abrahim (peace be upon him). The boy said to him: “Oh father! Where is your sacrifice?” He replied: “Oh my son, I saw in a dream, that I will slaughter you. So pay attention to what you see”. Unfortunately, this history, and demographics, have lead to great fear of Islam among Buddhists, which in turn has led to genocide in Myanmar, and violence in Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Ladakh.
Meanwhile, extremist elements in Myanmar, such as the 969 Movement, have pledged to work with Buddhist extremists elsewhere, such as in Sri Lanka, home to the Bodu Bala Sena, a Buddhist extremist organization that lead anti-Muslim riots in that country in 2014. Ladakh was recently the scene of communal tensions between Buddhists and Muslims after the marriage of a Muslim man and a Buddhist woman, something seen as threatening to the region’s demographics. Yet, there is an unusually high level of tension between Buddhists and Muslims in regions where the two groups share space, including Rakhine state in Myanmar, southern Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Ladakh, the eastern part of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. And in Ladakh, the Buddhist proportion of Leh district fell from 81 to 66 percent over the past three decades (relative to Muslims and Hindus). When the Muslim Turkic Qarakhanids captured the Buddhist city of Khotan in Xinjiang in 1006 CE, one of their poets penned this verse: “We came down on them like a flood/We went out among their cities/We tore down the idol-temples/We shat on the Buddha’s head.” In the Islamic world, a destroyer of idols came to be known as a but-shikan (بت شکن), a destroyer of but, a corruption of the word Buddha, as Buddhism was prevalent in much of what became the eastern part of the Islamic world.
Although it’s not unusual that a tolerant monarch would be polite and respectful about all the faiths practiced in their country-one could argue that’s simply good politics- the new King has gone much further than that in an era of all-too-common Islamophobia. All divine or spiritual elements were made secondary to ethical ones, and pleasure was considered the highest good. He was the country’s first czar, a title that lent a divine element to his powers. I am doing this in my paper on Saudi Arabia to a certain extent, and the Kuwait paper by Courtney Freer is also doing that, but I think we cannot overemphasize this element of it, as it relates to Islamists’ funding, shelter and refuge, media presence, Islamic finance, and ideological guidance. This theory was publicized by the popular news media but disputed by other scholars, including some sociologists of religion. Christian church, including both Catholicism and Protestantism, is the dominant church in Germany. In this article, we will delve into the origins and history of the Living Church of God, shedding light on its founding principles, growth, and impact on its followers. You glimpse a light in the night sky. But as Britain gets used to its new sovereign, the world will also get used to a Western head of state who sees Islam in quite a different light than the waves of populism across Europe and North America.
