[WSF-Discuss] Beheading and Religious Profiling

[Luis Gutierrez]

This is a jewel:

Beheading and Religious Profiling
Aloysious Mowe, SJ
Washington Post, 25 February 2009
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/georgetown/2009/02/beheading_and_religious_profil.html

Fr. Mowe should be congratulated for his courage (he may need our
prayers) and for articulating so well the nefarious repercussions of
religious sexism.

In Christ,
Luis

PS - This is not a jewel, but please consider:

The Pelican Web & E-Journal

There is overwhelming evidence that violence is the main obstacle to
sustainable development. It is also well known that there is an
intrinsic link between patriarchy and violence. Therefore, mitigating
violence requires overcoming the patriarchal mindset in both secular and
religious institutions.

The mission of "The Pelican Web" is to collect and analyze knowledge on
patriarchy-induced obstacles to sustainable development, and to publish
the free subscription, open access "E-Journal of Solidarity,
Sustainability, and Nonviolence" (JSSNV). The e-journal provides a
monthly digest on current research pursuant to human solidarity,
ecological sustainability, and both secular and religious non-violence.

Each issue includes links to relevant "best of the web" content. The
basic philosophy of the journal is Christian, but no source of wisdom is
excluded. The U.N. "Millennium Development Goals" (MDGs) are used as a
point of reference.

Sincerely,
Luis
