Inter faith harmony
The document discusses inter-faith harmony and sectarianism. It defines inter-faith harmony as a condition signifying peaceful coexistence among different religious beliefs, aimed at eliminating discord. The World Interfaith Harmony Week was established at the UN to promote mutual understanding and respect among people of diverse faiths and cultures. Several organizations worldwide and in Pakistan work to encourage dialogue and understanding between religious groups through activities and education. However, sectarian violence still occurs in some areas due to militant groups and tensions between religious subdivisions.
Interfaith Peacebuilding
The Universal Peace Federation and its global network of Ambassadors for Peace bring universal, spiritual principles to the task of resolving conflict and reconciling the divided human family. International Leadership Conferences, symposia and peace councils offer opportunities for high-level consultations. These are complemented by "track II" diplomacy and grass-roots programs that build support for a culture of peace.
World peace can be fully accomplished only when the wisdom and efforts of the world’s religious leaders are combined cooperatively and respectfully with the endeavors of national political leaders. Absent the recognition of spiritual principles, the world has drifted increasingly toward analyses and prescriptions that are materialistic and secular in nature. In so doing, we have lost sight of the profound wisdom to be found in humanity’s spiritual heritage.
Global institutions must be built on a foundation that takes into account the full potential of the human being, not only as a political, economic, and social being, but also as a spiritual being with spiritual needs and a capacity for spiritual wisdom and insight. The legacy of the world’s great saints, prophets, sages, and spiritual leaders cannot be denied or discounted without ignoring what is most fundamental about the human being.
In too many ways the history of religion has been marked by narrow sectarianism, strife, and competitive struggle with other faiths, all to the detriment of the cherished goals and teachings of the founders and scriptures. This cannot continue. The need to eliminate corruption, selfishness, and bad governance applies not only to all nations but also to all of the world’s religions.
Lasting peace depends on cooperative partnerships between governments and religions, as well as NGOs and representatives of the private sector. The United Nations can benefit from a council of religious and spiritual leaders to bring broad vision and wisdom to the effort to address critical global problems. International conferences, publications, networking, and on-the-ground activism are mechanisms for interfaith cooperation and lay a foundation for spiritual renewal at the United Nations.

Muhammad Asad;The nature of an islamic state
Muhammad Asad (pronounced born Leopold Weiss; 2 July 1900 - 23 February 1992) was an Austro-Hungarian born journalist, traveler, writer, linguist, thinker, political theorist, diplomat and Islamic scholar. Asad was one of the most influential European Muslims of the 20th century.
By the age of thirteen, young Weiss had acquired a passing fluency in Hebrew and Aramaic, other than his mother tongue German .By his mid-twenties, he could read and write in English, French, Persian and Arabic.In Palestine, Weiss engaged in arguments with Zionist leaders like Chaim Weizmann, voicing his criticism of the Zionist Movement. After traveling across the Arab World as a journalist, he converted to Islam and chose for himself the Muslim name "Muhammad Asad"—Asad being the Arabic rendition of his root name Leo (Lion).

Religious Extremism in Pakistan
Religious extremism in Pakistan has several causes, including a lack of distinction made between religion and culture, insufficient religious education, and exposure to extremist ideologies in some madrasas. This extremism threatens social harmony and national security in Pakistan.

Educating the public in accordance with the tolerant principles of the Quran and Hadith is key to reducing extremism.
Ideology of pakistan (2)
The ideology of Pakistan is based on Islam and the two-nation theory.

2. Huntington believed that while ideology was no longer driving global politics, cultural conflicts would replace ideological conflicts as the major lines of division. He argued the primary axis of future conflicts would be along cultural and religious lines between civilizations.
3. The document provides context on Huntington's theory and outlines some of the major civilizations he defined, while also noting criticism that his view was too simplistic and ignored other important drivers of conflict
Terrorism Detailed doc
This document discusses the history of terrorism in Pakistan. It notes that terrorism became a prominent tool for political agendas in the late 1960s, used by Palestinians. Terrorism in Pakistan has significantly increased since 2001, with over 35,000 Pakistanis killed by 2009. After the US invasion of Afghanistan, al-Qaeda and Taliban sought refuge in Pakistan's tribal areas. Structural flaws in the tribal regions allowed militant groups like the Taliban to operate and offer parallel security/judicial systems. Religiously motivated terrorism poses a major threat today from groups drawing inspiration from Islam, Christianity, and other religions. Militant groups in Pakistan also have sectarian agendas and connections to international terrorist organizations.
Social Structure of Pakistan
This document summarizes the social structure of Pakistan. It identifies three main social classes: the upper social class, which makes up 2% of the population and controls 60-70% of the country's wealth; the middle social class, which is 53% of the population and includes small business owners and low-level government workers; and the working social class, which comprises 20% of the population and consists of unskilled laborers and poor farmers. It describes the characteristics of each class, noting that social mobility is highest for the middle class but lowest for the poor, and that the poor have higher rates of deviance and drug addiction.
C13 - Islam, Political Culture and Democracy
This document discusses the relationship between culture/religion and democracy. It examines how Confucianism, Islam, and geopolitics have hampered democratic progress in some countries and regions. Confucian values like authority, order, and group interests can conflict with democratic ideals of individual rights and dissent. Similarly, some interpretations of Islam reject distinctions between religious and political rule, making democracy difficult. Geopolitical factors like the Arab-Israeli conflict have also been used to divert populations away from democratic reforms. However, the document also notes some counterarguments, like surveys finding many Muslims support democracy, and examples of democratic countries with ethnic or religious divisions.
National integration
This document discusses national integration in Pakistan. It begins by stating that national integration and prosperity require national unity and cohesion. It then outlines some common factors for national integration, including common religion, territory, language, race, and tradition. The document emphasizes that an Islamic democratic state can promote national integration through principles like equity, democratic tradition, and accountability. However, Pakistan currently faces challenges to national integration like economic backwardness, lack of political consciousness, and cultural differences. The document proposes solutions such as increasing literacy, equal development, and strengthening national institutions.
Foreign policy of Pakistan in era of bilateralism 1962-1979
Pakistan's foreign policy from 1962-1979 transitioned from non-alignment to bilateralism. During the transition phase from 1962-1970, Pakistan strengthened relations with China and the USSR after the Sino-Indian war of 1962. The fall of Dhaka in 1971 damaged Pakistan's relations as the USSR withdrew support. From 1972-1979 under Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Pakistan pursued bilateral relations with China, the US, and others to balance relations after India's 1974 nuclear tests. However, US cuts to Pakistan in 1979 harmed their foreign policy goals.
Determinants of fp
Pakistan's foreign policy is based on principles of security, ideology, national interests, and peaceful relations. The main determinants are security from threats to Pakistan's independence, ideology as an Islamic state, financial factors due to Pakistan's weak economy, and historical and psychological factors stemming from Pakistan's experience gaining independence from India. Foreign policy aims to establish relationships that enhance Pakistan's security, protect its Islamic ideology, and provide economic benefits. The process involves the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government agencies. Pakistan's early foreign policy focused on developing close ties with the US and other Muslim countries for security and economic reasons.

Secularism In India
Secularism in India means equal treatment of all religions by the state, unlike Western secularism which separates religion and state. Indian religions co-existed for centuries before the arrival of Islam, as evidenced by Ashoka and Harsha accepting different faiths and the proximity of Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain caves at Ellora suggesting religious tolerance. Akbar's tomb incorporated elements of Islam and Hinduism, and a Hindu temple in Jaipur merged styles of multiple religions, showing India's historic secularism and diversity. The young generation understands secularism to mean freedom of religion and freedom from religious imposition.
UNDERSTANDING SECULARISM
Secularism refers to the separation of government and religion where neither are under the control of the other. Secularism has its roots in Greek, Roman, Islamic, Enlightenment, and modern freethinking traditions. In political terms, secularism aims to reduce ties between government and religion by replacing religious laws with civil laws and eliminating religious discrimination. India is considered a secular nation that equally treats all religions, though it intervenes in religious affairs to prevent domination or discrimination within religious communities. Unlike Western secularism, Indian secularism allows state intervention and support of religion to some degree.

Diálogo entre fe y policía en una sociedad multicultural y la conspiración de...Archivos de Criminología, Seguridad Privada y Criminalística
En las sociedades multiculturales como Canadá, Estados Unidos de América o Europa, el problema de delitos de odio o por intolerancia racial han ganado interés dentro del sistema de justicia criminal, científicos sociales, defensores de los Derechos Humanos y los medios de comunicación. Para lograr prevenir estos tipos de delitos en una ciudad en donde las distintas posturas religiosas convergen, es importante tratar de conocer el diferente enfoque que cada uno le otorga a su religión para así crear puentes entre los diálogos y generar por consecuencia una mayor tolerancia a las otras formas de pensar.Policing in a multicultural society

Extremism, especially religious extremism, has become a major challenge in Pakistan that threatens social cohesion and national security. It manifests through violent acts by extremist groups and human rights violations when extremists gain power. While some argue extremism stems from political grievances, others believe the extremist ideology itself justifies antagonism. Reformist Muslim voices are seen as critical to countering extremist narratives. In Pakistan, extremism in recent years has led to over 1,700 terrorist attacks in 2013 alone, carried out mainly by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, killing over 2,400 people. Beyond organized groups, extremism is also growing at the individual level and destroying families and society.
Peace in a world of conflicts

The essays published are meant to engage in an intellectual dialogue on religions and should not be taken as expressing the views of any sponsoring organization.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim community is a religious organisation, with branches in more than 193 countries. It is the most dynamic denomination of Islam in modern history, with an estimated membership of one hundred and sixty million worldwide.
It was established by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) in 1889 in a small and remote village called Qadian in Punjab, India. He claimed to be the expected reformer of the latter days and the awaited one of the world community of religions (the Mahdiand Messiah of the latter days). The community he started is an embodiment of the benevolent message of Islam in its pristine purity that promotes peace and universal brotherhood based on a belief in the Gracious and Ever-Merciful God.

PCVE RIDO LECTURES.pptx
Family feuds known as "rido" have plagued Muslim communities in the Philippines for decades, resulting in cycles of violence that claim many lives and undermine development. Traditional mediation approaches have had limited success in resolving rido disputes. The document discusses the causes and consequences of rido, and examines traditional and Islamic law-based approaches to mediation. It recommends institutionalizing the roles of traditional and religious leaders in mediation, and replicating successful community-led strategies like those used in ARMM to strengthen local conflict resolution mechanisms and build peace in affected areas. Left unresolved, rido disputes can contribute to conditions conducive to violent extremism, threatening national security.

Human right problems
Minorities are numerically inferior groups within a population that possess distinct ethnic, linguistic or religious characteristics. Minority rights protect individuals' and groups' ability to express their culture and identity. International law and charters like the UN Declaration on Minority Rights protect minorities. While Islam historically protected minorities under concepts like dhimmi and protected peoples, minorities in Pakistan face discrimination in laws and under-representation. Reforms are needed to guarantee minorities' fundamental rights and end discrimination.

HEAD OF THE WORLDWIDE AHMADIYYA MUSLIM COMMUNITY DELIVERED AT THE
UNIVERSITE D’ABOMEY- C A L AVI COTONOU, BENIN, DURING HIS RECENT M O S T
SUCCESSFUL VISIT IN GHANA, BURKINO FASO, BENIN AND NIGERIA
Dear students and staff members at this university,
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah.
I have been asked to shed some light on Islam as a peaceful religion. In view of the
shortage of time, I can only address this subject briefly.
Whenever one wishes to speak about Islam as a religion of peace, the question
naturally springs to mind that whereas there are so many religions in the world such
as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., when it comes to finding out
whether Islam is a religion of peace, why should Islam be the odd one out?
One reason for this is that a few years after the beginning of Islam, anti-Islamic
powers began a propaganda that Islam is a religion of extremism and violence and
wants to compel others into belief by means of the sword. This, of course, is
incorrect. In the beginning, the Muslims of Makkah suffered persecution but they
remained silent. Finally, they migrated to Madinah but there too the disbelievers
hounded the Muslims and forced upon them a battle to which I will revert later. The
proof against those opponents who allege that Islam was spread by the sword is that
although the disbelievers of Makkah raised all sorts of objections, yet history stands
witness to the fact that the people of Makkah themselves never complained that the
Muslims had used the sword against the disbelievers to compel them to change their
faith.
Secondly, what has given Islam a bad name is an ugly and awful image of extremism
presented, whether knowingly or unwittingly, by some Muslim groups and.................
