Race with Death is a devastatingly moving account about the Bosnian war. Written by a retired doctor who volunteered her services at a hospital in Sarajevo during the height of the conflict, it relates the experiences of patients she treated. These 22 individual accounts of ordinary men, women and children, describe stories of heroism and selfless sacrifice, pain and suffering, stoical fortitude and stubbornness in the face of indescribable aggression - persecuted because of their faith. They are testimony to the brutality inflicted upon a nation that refused to surrender, whose people bore untold traggedy yet remained undowed. Most of all, they bear witness to the human spirit and the will to survive, as well as giving ample evidence, yet again, of man's cruelty unto fellow man.

Race with death

Demirović, Vahida

The author examines in fascinating detail the discrepancies between dates in assorted calenders - the intercalated pre-islamic, the Hijri, and the Julian calenders - and the days of the week ascribed to different events in the sirah of the Prophet (saw). He painstakingly relates them to the different theoretical attempts evolved by scholars to try to make sense of the contradictions, and then makes an utterly compelling case for the one system that makes rational sense of all the data. This matter is of more than academic interest, since it is directly related to the fact that Islam is not a type of middle eastern myth - as New Testament Christianity and Old Testament Judaismare are increasingly regarded by modern man - but a clearly historical phenomenon whose revelation - the Qur'an - and whose practice - the Sunnah - derive directly from the Messenger of Allah (saw), one revealed from on high by the Divine and the other the embodiment by the Messenger and his noble family and companions of that revelation under the careful guidance of Allah.

Banking The Root Cause Of The Injustices Of Our Time The original 1987 Norwich seminar Usury: The Root Cause of the injustices of our Time, whose proceedings form the core of this work, had an extraordinary effect. After the endless analyses and altercations of left and right to which we were accustomed, here was an argument that went to the core of the matter in one bound, and yet did so with a degree of scholarship and indeed erudition that was not cavalier. TYhe result was electric. It was also well before its time. This book contains the text of the original lectures as well as some contemporary material that updates it. The 80's Metarial was remarkably prescient, as the reader will discover. However, history has furnished us another opportunity-the catastrophic bank collapses of 2008 and the impending total systems shutdown of 2009- to revisit this vital material and place it before the reader.

<p>Reading historical sources throughout the centuries of Islamic history, we find lots and lots of women active in all areas of life, and then suddenly it stops. What happened? How and why have things changed in the last three hundred years to the extent that it is unusual to find women involved in Islamic sciences and, unlike in the past, very few Muslim men would even consider being taught by a Muslim woman? This is a phenomenon which requires in-depth research. It is time to re-examine the sources and re-assess how Muslim women in the past acted so that we can escape the limiting perspectives which have come to be the norm. To this end, we will examine three perspectives: the Scholarly Woman, the Political Woman, and the Spiritual Woman.</p>
