Attitudes to Disability: Islam, the West & the M.East

published by TPOS on 11 December, 2012 - 00:59

I linked to this in my latest blog, but I'm not sure how many people wll bother reading that, so you might miss it! I think it's worth a read, so that's why I'm creating this topic to bring it to people's attention, incase I hadn't already. Personally, it gave me an insight into the way disabled people were treated but the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and I liked it because it's not something that's discussed a lot and so I learnt something new.

A 14-year old Pakistani activist who championed education for girls has been shot in the head by a  gunman.

The attack on Malala Yousafzai, who became famous for highlighting Taliban atrocities, happened as she sat in a bus preparing to leave the school grounds in Mingora, the main city in the Swat valley which was the scene of intense fighting between the army and the Taliban in 2009.

Human rights, liberties, freedom? Yeah, they all exist(!)

"My unjust extradition, after eight years in detention without charge"

I don't understand. Is there any reason (excuse) at all, for this?!! Why would anyone who has committed a crime here be sent to the US? :S

Turkey bombs Syria

Quote:
Turkish artillery has fired on positions inside Syria after shells from Syria killed five people in a southern Turkish border town.

A woman and her three children were among those killed earlier when the shells, apparently fired by Syrian government forces, hit Akcakale.

Turkey's response marks the first time it has fired into Syria during the 18-month-long uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Nato ambassadors discussed the crisis.

Psychopaths

They are incapable of feeling and having a conscience and they are in curable. So what is there purpose on life? :S

You need a conscience and emotions to worship Allah and live according to Islam, so how are they being judged? They are just doing whatever they want because they can and they have no fear of consequences or no concept of love.

Hmm maybe they will get rewarded for something good they do without even understanding it, just because they're ill and there's no other way for them to be.

Today I learnt... (Ramadhan)

Basically everyday you post one new thing you learnt. (or more)
It should short and simple to understand and no long copy and pastes.
If you've watched a really good vid then summarise it an post the link, if you've read an article summarise it and post the link or share a bit of it or something.
But try to put things in your own words. That should help reinforce the messages in your own mind, and not be off-putting to anyone who sees something long.
