The True History of Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah

There are some who will limit this freedom, justice and equality to certain things,
but to give it to them a hundred percent, NO. You will not find any ten (10) out of a
hundred that want to see the Negro exercise freedom, justice and equality along
with the white man of America. Civil rights or human right? Civil rights is limited,
but human rights is universal. We should be seeking actual human rights, but the
real thing that we should seek is the right to leave, a people that have always

A People's History of the European Court of Human Rights

The exceptionality of America's Supreme Court has long been conventional wisdom. But the United States Supreme Court is no longer the only one changing the landscape of public rights and values. Over the past thirty years, the European Court of Human Rights has developed an ambitious, American-style body of law. Unheralded by the mass press, this obscure tribunal in Strasbourg, France has become, in many ways, the Supreme Court of Europe. Michael Goldhaber introduces American audiences to the judicial arm of the Council of Europe--a group distinct from the European Union, and much larger--whose mission is centered on interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights. The Council routinely confronts nations over their most culturally-sensitive, hot-button issues. It has stared down France on the issue of Muslim immigration; Ireland on abortion; Greece on Greek Orthodoxy; Turkey on Kurdish separatism; Austria on Nazism; and Britain on gay rights and corporal punishment. And what is most extraordinary is that nations commonly comply. In the battle for the world's conscience, Goldhaber shows how the court in Strasbourg may be pulling ahead.

But this photo is a collector's item; it shows the militant secularist, who banned
Muslim headwear, standing beside a turbaned imam. According to the caption,
Ataturk is thanking Allah for Turkey's military successes. “We are not an Islamist
party,” Kazan is saying to me, as the call to prayer from the mosque attached to
his party headquarters wafts through the corridors. “We are a party struggling
against the oppression of Muslim people.” Kazan's semantic point is
unpersuasive; His party ...

The History of Human Rights

From Ancient Times to the Globalization Era

"This well-written book, chock-full of knowledge, presents a history of the idea, or ideas, of human rights through the prism of the author's thoughtful views on key controversies that bedevil human rights discourse to this day."--Professor Sir Nigel Rodley, Chair, University of Essex Human Rights Centre; Member, (UN) Human Rights Committee

Islam therefore invited all people to the truth; and should disputes arise between
different religious groups over its meaning, it is Allah "that will show you the truth
of the matters in which ye dispute" (surah 5:48). LIBERTY: THE ORIGINS OF
TOLERANCE Even if one can easily show that the "right to life and security" (
article 3 of the Universal Declaration) has deep roots in ancient religions and
cultures, it would be excessive to claim that what we understand today as liberty
is equally ...

The Columbia Documentary History of Religion in America Since 1945

This unique documentary history brings together manifestos, Supreme Court decisions, congressional testimonies, speeches, articles, book excerpts, pastoral letters, interviews, song lyrics, memoirs, and poems reflecting the vitality, diversity, and changing nature of religious belief and practice in America since 1945. Covering both the center and the margins of American religious life, these documents reflect the role of religion and theology in the civil rights, feminist, and gay rights movements as well as in the conservative responses to these. Issues regarding religion and contemporary American culture are explored in documents about the rise of the evangelical movement and the religious right; the impact of "new" (post-1965) immigrant communities on the religious landscape; the popularity of alternative, New Age, and non-Western beliefs; and the relationship between religion and popular culture. The editors conclude with selections exploring major themes of American religious life at the millennium as well as excerpts that speculate on the future of religion in the United States.

The concept of human rights in Islam is based on two important principles: dignity
of human beings and justice. Islam emphasizes that all human beings are
honored by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah wants all human beings to live in
peace and harmony and for this reason He wants us to establish justice in this
world. Without justice there is no dignity and without dignity and justice there
cannot be any peace. There are four important principles that we must keep in
mind when ...

From 1924 to 1927, the Rockingham and Augusta County Leagues filled the
vacuum left in the absence of the Valley League. These were relatively stable
leagues that pitted local rivals againsteach other, but also included a season-
ending series (best-of-5 in 1924-1925, best-of-7 in 1926-1934, 1936) between
the champions of each league. The BiCounty Series ran for 11 years, was a great
