Israel :Religious Girls Like to Play, Too

If there's one thing religious girls in Israel like to do at celebrations, it's dance. But Orthodox prohibitions prevent them from forming their frenetic dancing circles in front of men. Instead, they put up a curtain in front of the men, who are usually the ones playing the dance music. Girls Allowed : The members of Ashira perform for women only - and pray before the show.

The Evolution of Religions

Jared Diamond, professor of geography at UCLA, received the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 1998 for Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. In 1999, he received the National Medal of Science. His most recent book is Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed (2004).

Professor Diamond argues that religion has encompassed at least four independent components that have arisen or disappeared at different stages of development of human societies over the last 10,000 years.

Lire le fichier PDF : Ne diffamez pas « ma » religion !

Description sommaire :

Le 26 mars 2009, le Conseil des droits de l’homme de
l’ONU adoptait une résolution condamnant la diffamation des religions.
La résolution n’est heureusement pas contraignante ; elle « Souligne la nécessité de lutter efficacement contre la diffamation de toutes les religions et l’incitation à la haine religieuse, en particulier contre l’islam et les musulmans ; » (paragraphe 9, résolution 62/154). Bien qu’aucune corrélation ne soit établie, elle lie diffamation
et propos haineux envers les croyants, et se garde bien de définir « diffamation ».

Address of Senator John F. Kennedy to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on Separation Between Religion and State

Presidential candidate John F. Kennedys major address to a group of Protestant ministers on the religious issue. Many Protestants questioned the ability of a Roman Catholic President to make important national decisions independently of the influence of his church. Senator Kennedy answers those questions before an audience of Protestant clergy, many of whom may believe that he can not.

Le Coran Traduction d'André Chouraqui

La version du Qur’ân que nous publions fait suite aux traductions que nous avons présenté de la Bible hébraïque, des textes deutérocanoniques et du Nouveau Testament (La Bible, traduite et présentée par André Chouraqui, Desclée de Brouwer, 26 vol., 1972-1977; 1 vol. 1985; Un pacte neuf, Brépols, 1984; L’Univers de la Bible, 10 tomes, Brépols-Lidis, 1982-1985). Elle s’inspire d’une même problématique de la traduction, d’un même esprit d’ouverture et des mêmes méthodes, d’autant plus nécessaires ici du fait, Régis Blachère le souligne, « du désarroi du lecteur non-arabisant » devant les traductions habituelles de ce texte (Régis Blachère: Introduction au Coran, Paris, 1977, pp. 274-277).

Toute traduction est ainsi problématique dans son essence même, et plus particulièrement celle du Qur’ân, texte « descendu des ciels », révélé par Allah ou par l’entremise d’un archange, Gabriel-Djibrîl. Par surcroît, dès les origines, du temps de Mûhammad, personne n’eût jamais imaginé la possibilité d’annoncer le Qur’ân dans une autre langue qu’en « arabe distinct ».

Bible Traduction d'André Chouraqui

Source intarissable d'une communication universelle, fondatrice de trois religions qui se réclament de son Dieu, la Bible appartient au patrimoine culturel de l'humanité. La Lecture décloisonnée que nous en donnons ici, pour la Bible hébraïque, suit l'ordre des livres tel qu'il est déféni par les massorètes et qu'il figure dans la dernière édition de la Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (Stuttgart 1967/77).
