Jihad in Paradise: Islam and Politics in Southeast Asia

Jihad in Paradise: Islam and Politics in Southeast Asia

Mike Millard

Routledge
2004
sidottu
Written in an accessible, journalistic style, Jihad in Paradise focuses on Southeast Asia's struggle to deal with Islamic extremists and terrorism at the hands of Jemah Islamiyah, al Qaeda's Southeast Asian arm. Although the book gives particular attention to Singapore's attempts to deal with these issues, the story extends into Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. All of these countries have significant Muslim populations, and recent violent events have affected the business environment, tourism, and the region's tradition of religious tolerance. The author draws on personal interviews with experts in the field as well as key political and religious figures in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, including Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Minister for Muslim Affairs Jaacoub Ibrahim, and expelled Muslim dissident Zulfikar Mohamad Sharif. Millard examines the Bali bombing, Malaysia's conservative Islamic party PAS, the Malaysian province of Kelantan which is a Muslim political hotbed, Abu Saayaf of the Philippines, and Fateha.com and the use of the Internet. He also provides a glimpse of how Singapore, the region's most developed nation, has engineered its society in order to impose a degree of racial and religious tolerance.

Independently Published

Like Canterbury Tales, The Antiguo Cuentista Trilogy-Birding 101 Paradise Pond, Dancing Flowers - Chasing Moon, and Cruising for a Bruising-provides adult vignettes of a group of travelers. Unlike Canterbury Tales, they don't tell stories to win a contest, they live their stories, and the prizes are happy, contented lives.For most of them, children and religion are among things that give live meaning. Pursuits and obsessions make life worth living. Though their lives are constrained by laws, conventions, traditions and more, they're human, and humans don't have the best track records when it comes to facing temptation. They go to great lengths and take inordinate risks while pursuing their dreams. Those who play by the "rules" find it's no assurance of success, because rules are subject to change.But why make things easy? The pilgrims in the Antiguo Cuentista Trilogy encounter obstacles to achieving their goals. They come upon detours. Trolls and fiends lie in wait. Not all the pilgrims have the others' best interests as heart. Even the best wander and aren't true to their ideals as their lives intertwine with those of their fellow voyagers. In other words, they're sort of like us.The tales are also educational travelogues. Readers of Birding 101 Paradise Pond will discover feathered wonders that boggle the imagination, as they tour birding sites along the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. In Dancing Flowers - Chasing Moon, they'll mentally wriggle their toes into New Mexico's white gypsum sands and tour amazing venues in the state's verdant mountains. Those who set sail with the characters in Cruising for a Bruising will enjoy shipboard games and exciting excursions in the ports of call.Magical realism plays a part. One can expect a ghost, a seer, and a witch or two, because many of us and our friends have been impacted by the paranormal. The good news is that those in the trilogy are mostly benevolent. So long as the characters stay on their good sides.Be forewarned. The plots and scenarios are for mature readers. A little religious, a little salty and quirky, sometimes suspenseful and thrilling, they are mostly fun and pleasant reads. And since Antiguo Cuentista wants his tales to be enjoyed by everyone, abridged versions that eliminate the colorful language and evocative and graphic scenes are, or will be, available.Tale 1Birding 101 Paradise PondIt's said that two wrongs don't make a right. Which begs the question: how many does it take? Strange, how the simplest and best course of action is often the one discarded. One misstep leads to another, then another....Staid grandpa Jim Smith pictures bird photography as the perfect pastime for his golden years. So, when his wife, Marsha, backs out of their RV club's annual trip to Port Aransas, Texas, at the last minute, he leaves without her. After all, what could more idyllic than spending a leisurely two weeks enjoying the company of close friends and recording the jeweled, feathered majesties at the town's world renown birding sites? At Paradise Pond, he meets troubled nature photographer Mary Elizabeth. His gentleness soothes her anguished spirit, and she nurtures his photographic skills. But acts of kindness aren't without peril.A mother's action, taken for love and protectiveness, awakens monsters. A friend's premonition and manipulations sets the couple on a precarious course. But those only compound our travelers predicament as they struggle with forces that threaten to destroy their worlds and consume their souls. In the Emergency Room, they reflect on the irony of human foibles, the plethora of bright, shiny new skeletons bulging formerly pristine closets, how their actions are affecting family and friends-and press on.So, sit back, enjoy the locales, and second-guess the characters as they wind their way through the first of a trilogy of stages in their lives.

The Christ of Paradise Regained and Renaissance Heroic Tradition

The Christ of Paradise Regained and Renaissance Heroic Tradition

Merritt Yerkes Hughes

Literary Licensing, LLC
2011
sidottu
The Christ of Paradise Regained and Renaissance Heroic Tradition is a scholarly book written by Merritt Yerkes Hughes. The book explores the connections between John Milton's epic poem Paradise Regained and the Renaissance heroic tradition, with a specific focus on the portrayal of Christ as a heroic figure. Hughes argues that Milton's depiction of Christ in Paradise Regained draws heavily from the classical and Renaissance heroic tradition, which viewed heroism as a combination of physical prowess, intellectual acumen, and moral virtue. In this context, Christ is portrayed as a heroic figure who overcomes temptation and achieves victory through his superior knowledge and moral strength. The book also examines the influence of Milton's contemporary political and religious context on his portrayal of Christ. Hughes argues that Milton's portrayal of Christ as a heroic figure reflects his own political and religious views, which emphasized individual liberty and the importance of moral virtue in the face of political and religious oppression. Overall, The Christ of Paradise Regained and Renaissance Heroic Tradition is a detailed and insightful analysis of Milton's epic poem and its place in the broader literary and cultural context of the Renaissance. It will be of interest to scholars of literature, history, and religion, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of politics, religion, and culture in the Renaissance era.Studies In Philology, V35, No. 2, April, 1938.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
