Denkschrift
zum historischen Entwicklungsprozess und zur Beendigung der Kooperation der Hessischen Landesregierung mit der DITIB den islamischen Religionsunterricht betreffend
Von Fuat Kurt[1] und Hüseyin Kurt[2]
Der bekenntnisorientierte Islamische Religionsunterricht nach Artikel 7.3 GG in der Verantwortung des DITIB Landesverbandes Hessen ist vom Hessischen Kultusministerium einseitig beendet worden.
Auch uns als Ko-Architekten dieses Unterrichts von islamischer Seite hat diese unerwartete Entwicklung außerordentlich betroffen gemacht. Was uns hierbei besonders nachdenklich macht, ist, dass bestimmte Personen und Organisationen, die im Prozess der Anerkennung des DITIB Landesverbandes als Religionsgemeinschaft und der Einführung des bekenntnisorientierten Islamischen Religionsunterrichts von Anfang an versucht haben, diesen „No. 269“ weiterlesen
INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE: AN EXPLORATION
By Dharam Singh
I
The entire humankind wishes that peace prevails in the world, but, as a theologian[i] has said, peace can prevail in the world only if there is peace among religions. This argument implies that for peace to prevail there must be dialogue – greater and meaningful – among different religions and an investigation of their foundations. Dialogue among different religions of the „No. 268“ weiterlesen

On a Dialectical Theory of Religion
Fundamentals and Applications
By Edmund Weber
Religion in the proper sense i.e. authentic religion means the original act of existence. This act consists in the holistic dealing[i] of mind[ii] with its dialectical relationship of its two moments: the infinite constitution or abysmal foundation on one side and on the other side the finite construction or formative culture of existence[iii].
Abysmal foundation is mind’s infinite power of transcending all its cultural
Guru Nanak’s Response to Religious Plurality
By Dharam Singh
Religious plurality is not a newly emerged phenomenon rather it has been a reality of human social existence ever since recorded human history. The only difference is that it was not experienced with the same intensity as it is being experienced in the world today. Also, the human perception of it has changed a lot during the past century or so. In the ancient past people belonging to different religious backgrounds lived in their limited geographical universes. As a result, they did not face the social or theological challenges arising from „No. 263“ weiterlesen

Suhrawardī al-Maqtūl – Meister der Erleuchtung
Von: Selahattin Akti
Generell lässt sich sagen, dass die islamische Ideengeschichte auf drei Säulen beruht. Diese sind: Kalām (systematische Theologie), Sufismus und die islamische Philosophie. Auch wenn ihre Referenzen, Terminologien und Schlussfolgerungen voneinander abweichen, diskutieren alle drei Disziplinen ähnliche Themen. Die islamische Philosophie etablierte im Laufe der Zeit ihre eigene Tradition, die sich besonders in den intellektuellen
The Mad Man and the Old God.
An Essay on Friedrich Nietzsche’s Apocalypse of Human Existence (Revised Version)
By Edmund Weber
The sun was shining at the marketplace when a mad man was looking with a lamp for God. The astonished people scornfully told him God may be sick or he may be travelling. But the mad man answered:[1]
Where has he gone? He called, I will tell you” We have killed him, – you and me! We all are his murderers! … God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.
Do we still hear nothing of the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God?
