Muslim Minorities and Religious Freedom (Ft. Hamza Yusuf, John Esposito & Robert P. George) How has the persecution of Muslim minorities affected their well-being in Europe and North America, the overall health of Muslim-majority nations, and the growth of violent Islamist extremism? Are Muslim minorities developing theologies that can bolster religious freedom, stable democracy, and economic growth, as well as undermine violent Islamist extremism? This conference explored these questions, featuring four panels of experts as well as a keynote conversation between Professor Robert George of Princeton, Professor John Esposito of Georgetown, and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf of Zaytuna College. This conference was hosted by the Religious Freedom Project, in cooperation with Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion. Robert P. George (moderator), McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, Princeton University John Esposito, Founding Director, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University Hamza Yusuf, Co-founder, Zaytuna College; Advisor to the Center for Islamic Studies, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California

Enshrined in national constitutions and international laws and treaties, the right to freedom of conscience is seen as a key mechanism for ensuring that religious minorities are able to practice their traditions freely. Through a focus on the history of the Middle East and Egypt in particular, Professor Mahmood's talk problematized this account of religious liberty by analyzing the structure of inequality that characterizes the relationship between First and Third World sovereignty within international law, and how the historical development of the practice and concept of religious liberty has been intertwined with the exercise of Western power. Professor Mahmood's talk was co-sponsored by the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. Dr. Saba Mahmood is an Associate Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at UC Berkeley. Her research interests lie in exploring historically specific articulations of secular modernity in postcolonial societies, with particular attention to issues of subject formation, religiosity, embodiment, and gender. She also focuses on politics of religious liberty, particularly in relationship to religious minorities living in the Middle East. Professor Mahmood is the author of Politics and Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject (Princeton University Press, 2005), and Is Critique Secular? Blasphemy, Injury, and Free Speech (edited with Talal Asad, Wendy Brown, and Judith Butler, University of California Press, 2009).
Meet Israel's amazing Bahai community, a global religious movement with a beautiful center located in Haifa. We've also got members of the faith living locally and taking leadership roles in fostering dialogue between religions: http://jstandard.com/index.php/content/item/8137 Source: Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qma_8cs9MgE #Israel #worldreligions #Bahai #Haifa Another "Feel Good" religion. There are thousands out there. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." If you want to know a true relationship with a true God, then get to know Jesus. Why settle for a counterfeit, when the real is plainly revealed in the Bible. I'm amused by our vocal Christian friends. For 2000+ years they were waiting for the "new name" Christ promised in Revelation 2:17 & 3:12, and when they hear it, they spurn it. Ezekiel 36:33 said when the Jews would be re-gathered, the Promised One would be in the Land, but they can't see it. The "good fruit" of these unifying teachings, including testimony to Jesus is not heard. All the nations will know. Will they? Like Jews who still reject Messiah, they miss " The Glory of God that came out of the east by way of the Gate Báb" promised in Ezekiel 43. The Times of the Gentiles, 456BC + 2300 = 1844CE are over but they will not open the doors of their hearts to the Spirit they claim to love. Bahá'u'lláh's Kingdom is on the throne of David, and its not going away, but we will, and each soul's response to it will be weighed in the Balance. this is a beautiful religion. Beautiful and amazing religion. I was raised as a Bahai after my Grandmother converted in 1970's. Peaceful, kind and forgiving. Not a bad way to live your life ; How pathetic.

noodls 2015-04-01A minority religion is a religion held by a minority of the population of a country, state, or region. Minority religions may be subject to stigma or discrimination. An example of a stigma is using the term cult with its extremely negative connotations for certain new religious movements. People who belong to a minority religion may be subject to discrimination and prejudice, especially when the religious differences correlate with ethnic differences..
Laws are made in some countries to protect the rights of religious minorities, such as protecting the minorities' culture and to promote harmony with the majority.
Hamza Yusuf Hanson is an American Islamic scholar, and (with Zaid Shakir and Hatem Bazian) is co-founder of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California, United States. He is a convert to Islam, and is one of the signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You, an open letter by Islamic scholars to Christian leaders, calling for peace and understanding. He has described the 9/11 attacks as "an act of 'mass murder, pure and simple'". Condemning the attacks, he has also stated "Islam was hijacked ... on that plane as an innocent victim".The Guardian newspaper in the United Kingdom reported that he "is arguably the west's most influential Islamic scholar" and added that "many Muslims find his views hard to stomach."
Hamza Yusuf was born to two academics in Washington State and raised in Northern California. In 1977, he became Muslim and subsequently traveled to the Muslim world and studied for ten years in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, as well as North and West Africa. Hamza Yusuf spent four years studying in the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere in the Middle East. Later he traveled to West Africa and studied in Mauritania, Medina, Algeria, and Morocco under such scholars as Murabit al Haaj; Baya bin Salik, head of the Islamic court in Al-'Ain, United Arab Emirates; Muhammad Shaybani, Mufti of Abu Dhabi; Hamad al-Wali; and Muhammad al-Fatrati of Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt.[citation needed] After more than a decade abroad, he returned to the United States and earned degrees in nursing from Imperial Valley College and religious studies at San José State University.[citation needed]
