Dear all , I would like share an appeal, that I have sent to Supreme Court
of India.

This is for information only.

To

The Chief Justice
Supreme Court of India
New Delhi

Sub: Reasons for preserving section 377 of Indian Panel Code and rejecting
the appeal of NAZ foundation

Honorable Sir,

1.      I, Muhammad Mukhtar Alam, s/o Janab Abdur Rahman and permanant resident
of village Mathurapur, district –Bhagalpur, Bihar, would like to draw your
attention to the petition of Naz Foundation that has been rightly rejected
by the High Court of Delhi. The petition challenges "the constitutional
validity of section 377 of the IPC on the grounds that it criminalizes
homosexual act even between two consenting adults". (The Hindustan Times
December 8, 2001).

2.      I would like to respond to this as a citizen of this country and a
world citizen and call for a dismissal of this petition. A favorable
judgement for the petition will violate the rights of children to have
reverent role models, and, most importantly will create a supportive
social climate for the adoption of homosexuality in India.
3.      I would like to strongly oppose the move of Naz Foundation as an
anti-children, anti-family and anti-God. Also through my research work I
have proved that environmental factors for the adoption of homosexuality
are ignored by all these campaigners of civil liberties while
overemphasizing the contribution of genetic determinism. There is a case
for "hijras" but then there is no case for the homosexuals who have been
imitating a deviant and degenerate sexual practice that has been approved
in the European and American laws. My related academic submissions
pointing out the need to review of the decision of American Psychiatric
Association contained in my conceptual organization for description,
analysis, prediction and control of the personal/ social / world order can
be seen at http://muhammad_mukhtar_alam.tigblog.org  . The submissions are
web referred at a youth site and are part of the findings of the discourse
analysis for my Ph.D. dissertation on "A Study of the Cognitive
Representations related to the Concept of World Citizen" that has been
presented to University of Delhi in September 2000.
4.      The petition contends that article 377 of the IPC violates the
liberties enshrined in the constitution under article 14.15,19 and 21 in
so far as it penalizes predominantly homosexual acts in private between
consenting adults. This can be seen that this is an instance of
overgeneralization for the provisions of the cited articles. There is a
concern for the rights of the children for reverent role models. Making
homosexual act lawful will mean endangering the lives of many children who
are being already provided with an overdose of atheistic libertarian
values where pre-marital and extramarital affairs do not get denounced,
punished and condemned.
5.      The article 377 of the IPC deals with the subject of unnatural offences
and states that "whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the
order of the nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with
imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a
term which may extend upto ten years and shall also be liable to fine".
There is a need to preserve this provision as its deletion even with
regard to the homosexuals and lesbians will create problems for the
collective social health and individual health.
6.      It has been argued, "section 377 creates an arbitrary and unreasonable
classification between natural (penile-vaginal) and unnatural (penile-non
vaginal) sexual acts that violates article 14's equal protection before
and under law". Here Naz Foundation already assumes the existence of a
"sexual minority" whose rights are considered to be violated. There is no
recognition of such minority in the constitution. There should not be any
recognition to such a minority in the law. Also classifications of the
sexual acts are very reasonable. Naz foundation is absolutely misguided in
mimicking the deviant atheistic intellectual and political currents
originating in Europe and US in this regard. Also Naz Foundation is
misguiding the court on its understanding of constitutionally recognized
minorities. There is no violation of the article 14 of the constitution
with reference to the provisions of article 377 as there is no recognition
for "sexual orientation" as a category. If there is recognition for sexual
minority there can be also a call to recognize the human rights of the
thieves and pickpockets to indulge in their smart acts of fooling,
cheating and looting.
7.      It has been argued that Section 377 imposes traditional gender
stereotypes concerning the "natural" sexual roles for men and women upon
the sexual minorities". Here again there is an explicit reference to the
"sexual minority" which refers to men and women who have been misguided
for appropriating homosexual acts. Instead of calling for help in
correcting the deviant behavior an appeal is being made to recognize it as
a normal and natural act. All traditional gender roles cannot be
denounced. Atheistic feminist discourse needs to have recognition of the
limits that are imposed biologically, ecologically, and morally. "Hijras"
need a special rehabilitative attention and for them there is no
imposition of gender roles. Hijra's are sexually challenged with reference
to reproductive capacities and there is no imposition of gender roles on
them. For homosexuals and lesbians, specific gender roles will continue to
be socially desirable as for many they will be known as men and women..
8.       According to the petition, the social effects (of article 377) drive
gay men underground with a devastating impact upon HIV prevention efforts
as " it becomes difficult to identify and target this population for HIV
/AIDS prevention efforts through education and provision of medical
services". I would like to denounce this contention, as most of men who
have unnatural sex with men cannot be considered to be so ignorant and
illiterate. As per journalistic accounts most of the men and women
identifying themselves, as gays and lesbians respectively are quite well
educated. There is no need for making homosexuality lawful in our country.
There is need to campaign for the reverting to the pre-1973 position in so
far as the related categorization in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
US is concerned.  Sheldon B. Korchin has noted the fact interestingly in
his book on Clinical Psychology that it was the gay movement in US that
compelled APA to change the understanding of homosexuality in 1973.
"Homosexuality was no longer considered a sexual deviance rather it was
just an 'alternative orientation'" (Sheldon J. Korchin (1998),"Modern
Clinical Psychology, Principles of Intervention in the Clinic and
Community", CSB Publishers). It may be noted that there is hardly anything
"oriental" about this "orientation". Homosexuality is a product of lack of
moral control and absolutely wrong socialization .It is curable. The best
cure can be tried by seeking forgiveness for the past sinful deeds.

9.      It is important to campaign for the restoration of the old definition
of degenerate practice of homosexuality that is being celebrated and
paraded in the dancing halls and bars of the irreverent and atheistic West
whereas practice of religion is propagated to be restricted to the privacy
of the homes. Also, I would like to appeal the people in the "orient" to
campaign for deleting the word orientation as this word has been abused by
referring this to a sexual deviance in DSM manual of American Psychiatric
Association.

10.      According to a study conducted by Himachal Pradesh Voluntary Health
Association, Shimla 20% of the children have experienced homosexual
atrocities. "Another after effect of this is sharp increase in
Transportation work which mainly comprise of rural people of HP with large
involvement of children working as cleaner. For one Big Cement plant viz.
ACC Cement Barmana approximately 8000 trucks are operating. As per one
small study 20% of such children have experienced homosexual atrocities".
There are other studies that have shown the involvement of homosexuals in
sexual abuse of the children through internet as well. Thus, I would like
to argue that granting revision and elimination of the prohibitory
provisions of article 377 will further increase the incidence of child sex
abuse by male homosexuals. In UK, there had been a demand by the gays for
reducing the age of consent from 18 to 14. Considering the dominance of
the atheistic liberal ethos, many children and adults will be become prone
to the abuse of homosexuals. Also there had been a study where 70% of the
abused children had been the victims of sodomy by homosexuals.

11.     Considering the above I would like to appeal for the dismissal of the
petition of Naz Foundation while also seeking the deletion of references
to adoption of homosexuality as matter of human right in the documents of
Amnesty International.

12.     Considering the developments in Europe and US in this regard there
might be a call for redefining institution of family so as to incorporate
homosexual couples as family. There may be also be call then for them to
be considered as legitimate recipient of abandoned children for adoption.
Thus it can be seen that for many youth, children and future generations
permission of deletion in provision of article 377 of IPC, there will be a
great intellectual and moral confusion. This will also have significant
adverse impact in the families where some boys and girls under the
persuasion of such neo-liberal atheistic "social workers" and homosexuals
will be called on to "come out of closet" and announce to the families and
relatives that they are gay.

13.     According to a study reported in Hindustan Times of 10 May 2001, two
psychologists led by Dr.Robert Spitzer proved that highly motivated
homosexuals could be converted. They also repudiated the attitude of the
mental health professionals "who have bought the idea that once you are
gay you cannot be changed". He and his colleagues have found that 66% of
men and 44% of women had achieved good heterosexual functioning. With
reference to the petition of Naz Foundation it can be seen that there is
no reference for the existence of controversy on the etiology of
homosexuality. Instead, they have been calling for making homosexuality
lawful.

14.     In case, there is a favorable judgement, there cannot be an end to the
social denunciation of lesbians and homosexuals in India considering the
strong conservative values that are shared across the religious groups in
this regard. If the petitioners and their tutors think that they are
"progressives" then they must recognize that RSS, practicing Muslims,
Christians, Jains and Buddhists will continue denouncing them for their
misguided understanding and seek correction in attitudes. Considering the
history of dissidence this may be noted that appropriation of
homosexuality is an instance of the most extreme and worst development in
the anti-Christian discourse in Europe that was championed by Michel
Foucault who could have excluded gays and lesbians while advocating for
better treatment of women, blacks and prisoners. But then in his zeal for
unearthing the archeology of knowledge he tried to have "limit experience"
in the bars with provisions for sadomasochist experiences and liberated
the gays and lesbians from the psychiatric label. Formation of groups of
lesbians and homosexuals across the world are seeking a change in the
legislation in all societies. Unfortunately, Richard Falk has also
included such a change in the existing legislations as part of "humane
governance" (Falk, Richard (1995), "Towards a new global politics ,world
order model project report of the global civilization initiative", Polity
Press  Cambridge, UK )

15.     Considering the exclusive studies by the undersigned, I may be called
in person for presenting my case.

Considering the above I would like to appeal for the dismissal of the
petition with a severe reprimand for Naz Foundation while suggesting them
to use faith based instruments for gays and lesbians. They can do better
prevention of AIDS by faith based counseling than seeking legitimacy for
deviant sexual acts. I would like to earnestly request you to reject the
petition and affirm the judgment of the Delhi High Court in this regard.

Thanking you in anticipation

Respectfully

Like many great medical breakthroughs, Drs. Abhay and Rani Bang's discovery of how to reduce child deaths in the developing world as much as 75% came from a deceptively simple premise. "We decided to listen to our patients," says Abhay. That may sound obvious, but in 1986, when the pair returned to their poor, central Indian hometown of Gadchiroli with master's degrees in public health from Johns Hopkins University, it was a novel approach.

Then, explains Abhay, 55, priorities for the developing world were decreed in abstract by the medical establishment. "For example, everyone said population control was the No. 1 priority and family planning the No. 1 solution," he says. That approach ran counter to principles Abhay learned growing up in Mohandas Gandhi's ashram at nearby Sevagram (literally, Service Village), which favored community and consensus over hierarchy and imposition.

He and Rani, 54, had already decided to follow Gandhian principles and live and work with the poor, founding a trust they called the Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health. After setting up a lab in an old warehouse, they began surveying two nearby villages. The results were immediate. "If you actually talked to the mothers, you discovered women had other needs than just contraception," says Abhay. "We found 92% had gynecological diseases."

In 1989, the pair published their research in the journal Lancet. "Within a year or two, there was an entirely new approach to women's health worldwide," says Abhay. "The global population policy changed from looking at mere reproduction to the whole issue of women's reproductive health. That was our first experience of how powerful this approach could be."

Encouraged, the Bangs listened some more. They identified alcohol abuse as another big issue and began addiction treatment. And given that half their patients were from the forest-dwelling Gond tribe and wary of city hospitals, the Bangs asked them what a Gond hospital might look like. The result is what Abhay named Shodhagram (Research Village), a medical center outside Gadchiroli that resembles a village, with separate huts housing the lab, surgery, pharmacy, wards, library and even a shrine to the Gond goddess Danteshwari.

It was soon after moving to Shodhagram that Abhay and Rani were presented with the tragic inspiration for their greatest innovation. "A tribal woman came in with a tiny baby boy," Abhay says. "We took him, laid him on our bed, and he died, right there and then." The child's death haunted the two doctors. They decided to tackle a subject the medical community had long abandoned: the stubbornly high child-mortality rate in the developing world. Abhay and Rani identified 18 causes of newborn death, from the obvious, like malnutrition, to the surprising, like the habit of expectant Gond mothers of starving themselves and their unborn child for an easier birth. The Bangs found no problems that couldn't be treated by a health worker with rudimentary skills, some infant sleeping bags and an abacus on which to record every 10 heartbeats.

So Abhay and Rani got a seamstress to stitch the sleeping bags and a carpenter to make the abacuses, and they drew up a health training program that they taught to a newly assembled corps of village health workers. In 1999, the Bangs published the results of their efforts, again in the Lancet. They had cut child mortality in half--a figure that would fall to a quarter by 2003--for a cost of $2.64 for each child saved. The program is being adopted across India, where more than a quarter of the 4 million annual newborn deaths occur, and in Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and parts of Africa.

     First Rank from IAS Training Institute

     On passing out from IIT Chennai Mr. Narayanaswamy was offered scholarship by the prestigious
     Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. He who came from a middle class family believed
     that he had a moral obligation to give something in return for the lakhs of rupees the
     government spent on him as an IIT student. He had the intelligence and conviction to realize
     that this money came also from the poorest of the poor - who pay up the excise duty on
     textiles when they buy cloth, who pay up customs, excise and sales tax on diesel when they
     travel in a bus, and in numerous other ways indirectly pay the government. So he decided to
     join IAS hoping he could do something for the people of this country. How many young men
     have the will power to resist such an offer from USA? Narayanaswamy did never look at IAS as
     a black money spinner as his later life bears testimony to this fact.

     After a decade of meritorious service in IAS, today, Narayanaswamy is being forced out of the
     IAS profession. Do you know why?

     A real estate agent wanted to fill up a paddy field which is banned under law. An application
     came up before Narayanaswamy who was sub collector the, for an exemption from this rule
     for this plot of land. Upon visiting the site he found that the complaint from 60 poor families
     that they will face water logging due to the waste water from a nearby Government Medical
     College if this paddy field was filled up was correct. Narayanswamy came under intense
     political pressure but he did what was right - refused permission for filling up the paddy field.
     That was his first confrontation with politicians.

     Soon after his marriage his father-in-law closed down a public road to build compound wall for
     his plot of land. People approached Narayanaswamy with complaint. When talking with his
     own father-in-law did not help, he removed the obstructing wall with police help. The result,
     his marriage broke up.

     As district Collector he raided the house of a liquor baron who had defaulted Rupees 11 crores
     payment to government and carried out revenue recovery. A Minister directly telephoned him
     and ordered to return the forfeited articles to the house of the liquor baron. Narayanswamy
     politely replied that it is difficult. The minister replied that Narayanaswamy will suffer.

     In his district it was a practice to collect crores of rupees for earthen bunds meant for poor
     farmers,but which were never constructed. A bill for rupees 8 crores came up before
     Narayanaswamy. He inspected the bund. He found it very weak and said that he will pass the
     bill after the rainy season to ensure that the bund served the purpose. As expected the
     earthen bund was too weak to stand the rain and it disappeared in the rain. But he created a
     lot of enemies for saving 8 crores public money.

     The net result of all such unholy activities was that he was asked to go on leave by the
     government. Later such an illustrious officer was posted as "State Co-Ordinator, Quality
     Improvement Programme for Schools". This is what the politician will do to a honest officer
     with backbone - post him in the most powerless position to teach him a lesson. Since he found
     that nothing can be achieved for the people if he continued with the State Service he opted
     for central service. But that too was denied on some technical ground. What will you do when
     you have a brilliant computer career anywhere in the world you choose with the backing of
     several advanced technical papers too published in international journals to your credit? When
     you are powerless to do anything for the people, why should you waste your life as the
     Co-Ordinator for a Schools Programme?

     Mr. Narayanaswamy is on the verge of leaving IAS to go to Paris to take up a well paid United
     Nations assignment. The politicians can laugh thinking another obstacle has been removed. But
     it is the helpless people of this country who will lose – not Narayanaswamy. But you have the
     power to support capable and honest bureaucrats like Narayaswamy, G.R.Khairnar and Alphons
     Kannamthanam who have suffered a lot under self seeking politicians who rule us. You have
     even the power to replace such politicians with these kind of people dedicated to the
     country. The question is will you do the little you can do NOW? At least a vote or word in
     support of such personalities?

     Please convey this mail as much as possible

i would like to express my concern over the issue and also to some extent agree with ur views. i personally feel that this concept of being a pervert and the current trend of social deviation is nothing but a fashion statement practised by many in the page 3 social circles and by many more to earn some easy money. otherwise how could something that constituted a neglible minority some time back become a mainstream phenomenon. what mighthave been an act of deviation earlier has now become a trend.

 

however, most people who support the cause, agree with the fact that this might lead to child sexual abuse and same sex rape, and therefore agree with the fact that the mere scrapping of S 377 without appropriate amendments in rape laws, would rather be an even worse backfire.

 

the proposed amendments to the existing rape laws worked upon by the National Commission for Women takes care of this. child sexual abuse which, till now was trated as an offence under S 377 and thus called for lesser punishment, has now been proposed to be made an aggravated form of sexual assault.

 

if this is put forward as an argument, it might weigh heavily in favor of the NAZ foundation, beacuse these amendents may soon become a law, looking into the fact that there is enough political will to pass the bill. 

 

anyway, lets see what stand does the SC take on this.

15.     Considering the exclusive studies by the undersigned, I may be called
in person for presenting my case.

Considering the above I would like to appeal for the dismissal of the
petition with a severe reprimand for Naz Foundation while suggesting them
to use faith based instruments for gays and lesbians. They can do better
prevention of AIDS by faith based counseling than seeking legitimacy for
deviant sexual acts. I would like to earnestly request you to reject the
petition and affirm the judgment of the Delhi High Court in this regard.

Thanking you in anticipation

Respectfully

"too Hindu bnaigaa naa Mosalmaan bnaigaa;

Insaan kee oalaaD hai, Insaan bnaigaa"

[Son,

You ain't gonna be Hindu

You ain't gonna be Moslim

YOU SON OF A HUMAN

You are gonna be a Human]

 

I wonder, when would birth of a Mollaa take place, who would be able to understand, what that poet had actually meant?

When would Moslims realize that to be Moslims, they have to become Humane Human Beings first?

Vitamin Sherpa
RAM SHRESTHA
By JEFFREY KLUGER

Posted Monday, Oct. 31, 2005
Saving the lives of sickly children doesn't take much: a little money,
some medicine, the right food. In Nepal, they've discovered one more
factor: the power of the grandmother. It was Ram Shrestha, chemist and
health expert, who figured out how to unleash it.

The poverty in Nepal and the toll it exacts on its smallest citizens
are staggering. Twenty years ago, the infant-mortality rate was 133
for every 1,000 births, most of the babies claimed by pneumonia and
diarrhea. By the 1980s, it was clear that a lack of vitamin A in the
Nepalese diet was a factor in the high rates of infant mortality and
in a form of blindness. All it would take to reduce both would be a
low-cost vitamin-A capsule taken as infrequently as twice a year.

Great news, but how to get the word--and the vitamins--out? The
government set up a program to do the job, but in a rugged country
like Nepal, with a scattered population innately suspicious of
strangers, it wasn't going to be easy.

Shrestha had some ideas. A onetime Peace Corps employee who earned his
master's degree in international health at Tufts University in
Massachusetts, he returned to Nepal in 1991, at about the time the
vitamin program was getting under way, and offered his assistance.

The first thing he realized was that no matter who sponsored the
program, the villagers were not going to be receptive unless they felt
some ownership of it. So he began traveling through remote areas,
explaining the benefits of vitamin A and looking for volunteers to
help distribute the pills. When he signed someone up, he would return
for a follow-up visit, accompanied by the district chief. Shrestha
would make a show of asking passersby for directions to the
volunteer's home; with the chief in the car, it was clear they must be
on some vital business. "Whole families had to feel it was important,"
Shrestha says.

To make the volunteers more distinctive still, he issued them all
green canvas bags stamped with a vitamin-A logo and suggested that
they carry the bags all the time, not just on their rounds. He
instructed supervisors in the program who had cars to stop whenever
they saw anyone carrying a green bag and offer a lift.

Shrestha clearly had a knack for this kind of thing, but his next idea
was pure genius. As the need for volunteers grew more acute, he
started thinking about which individuals in Nepalese society--or most
societies, for that matter--have the most influence in the family but
are the least utilized. That's when he came up with the grandmothers.
They have the time to distribute the pills and the moral authority to
see that the children jolly well take them. And it didn't matter if
some of the women were too frail to make the rounds; the program
actually worked better when villagers came to them to get the pills.
"Even within a limited physical environment," says Shrestha, "the
grandmothers can do a lot."

And so they have. Today there are 49,000 grandmothers distributing
vitamin A to 3.5 million Nepalese children every year. Since the
1980s, infant mortality in the country has been cut in half; the
program is now getting the vitamin to pregnant women too, among whom
eye disease has plummeted, from 23% to 3%. Shrestha does not minimize
what he has accomplished for his country, but he is too modest to make
a fuss about it. "As a Nepali," he says, "I figured it was my duty."

Dear all,

I would like to seek responses on the presentation for reforming the
finance sector. I would like to contribute to the formulation of
frameoworks of governance.

Dear Amit,

Greetings,

I am not sure if we can reslove the issues without undertanding all the
issues..For me, I am serving the interest of all men and women and
children who wish to seek both temporal and eternal wellbeing. My analysis
and recommendations are in the best interests of men and women who
appropriate homosexuality.

I do not fear anyone. I do fear the Day of Judgement as a Muslim and seek
a better deal for myself and all.

The arguments in the letter for the Chief Justice is based on the shared
values acorss the religio-cultural moral universes.

I am biased for the right approach towards the rights and duties of men
and women to each other and to Almigthy.

I would like to seek deletion of the appropriation of homosexulity in the
mind of men and women with the application of faith based instruments.

With best wishes


Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam

Dear Mr. Muhammad Mukhtar Alam:

Whatever be your views on the subject, I think it is not proper to
presume that they coincide with that of Islam or speak exclusively on
behalf of 'our' culture. Those are your views and you will find many
supporters of your views who speak from a 'religo-cultural' space, but
then there are others too, who hold other views and who also believe
in a certain set of ethics. I invite you to read Scott Siraj Kugle and
Farid Esack - Islamic Liberation theologians both, on the subject.

Regards etc.

CREATING  NEW  CHOICES  - The NLP Way !


NLP based Holistic and Experiential processes for Transformation
(Neuro Linguistic Programming)

(December 17th and 18th, 2005)

A workshop that helps you become more aware of yourself, helping you
build pathways to excellence and in the process create necessary
resources.

Two days that focus on harmony of one's mind and heart.

This workshop provides opportunities for participants to draw upon
their own experiences and to integrate them with the cutting edge
transformational technology of NLP, enabling them to make choices for
their growth and well being.

Purpose:

To equip participants with NLP based processes and thus:

• Enabling them to be self-reliant in handling various challenges in
their lives, and
• Ensuring transformation and growth in all areas of life.

To prepare the soil to accomplish their mission through:

• Exploration and deeper inner awareness,
• Healing, transformation and integration of all faculties within, and
• Building powerful resources for the future.

Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP's objective is to increase the behavioral choices available to you.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) describes the fundamental
principles concerning mind (neuro) and language (linguistic) and how
their interplay impacts your body and behavior (programming).   Thus
NLP enables you to master a sense of confidence, flexibility, healing
and excellence. NLP is about a state of excellence.  In a nutshell,
NLP is an awesome journey of awareness & self discovery.

NLP is a simple skillful method to explore how the brain works; how
people think, feel, learn and motivate themselves and others; how
people interact with others and how to make choices and achieve
realistic goals.

Choice of NLP:

NLP supports transformation by:
• Providing a framework for development and change,
• Accelerating the process,
• Equipping with tools to handle limitation and resistance to growth,
• Using whole brain approach and working at conscious and unconscious
levels, and
• Making change easy.
Results have proven that NLP is highly effective in creating fast,
long lasting and holistic changes and development in one's life. NLP
processes lead to continuous learning and growth.

The workshop does not give a prescriptive answer. Rather it will equip
you with the necessary skills to evolve answers specific to your
situation. The NLP based workshop gives you a set of tools and
methodologies that will enable you to make more useful choices in
nearly every situation and to be on the path of mastery of your
capabilities.

During this workshop you will learn how to:

• Sharpen sensory acuity, enlarging your ability to pay attention to
details,
• Develop flexibility of behavior to vary your approach in order to
accomplish desired outcome,
• Develop resourceful and high performance states,
• Identify states that are most conducive to learning and personal
development,
• Look for newer and more creative approaches to life's challenges,
• Model what works,
• Change your feelings, emotions or behaviors at will,
• Communicate precisely and effectively,
• Balance right and left brain faculties,
• Build new pathways and empowering beliefs, and
• Expand your choices.
Who should attend:

Anyone interested in personal growth and transformation.

Dear Oishik,

Calling names does not help. I did not wish to respond to all the mails
though I did expect some. We all have our points . I have shared the
petition for information. The issue is for judgement. This is not the
issue of majority or a minority..I have denounced Michel Foucault who was
called an AIDS Guerilla..He wrote on the geneology of knowledge with an
atheistic deconstructionist view..I argue for global application of
monotheistic decosntruction..

Shahrukh.. Did u read verses in Quran.. the story of the people of
Loot..The issue is that of making homosexuality lawful..Is this in
accordance with the commands of Allah...Our words and whims and desires
can not all made lawful..


Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam

As a matter of fact, I have, sir. And that is precisely why I was
trying to draw your attention to the writings of Scott Siraj-al haqq
Kugle. He discusses the story of loot in great detail.(See Sexuality,
diversity and ethics in the agenda of progressive Muslims, Scott Siraj
al-Haqq Kugle in Progressive Muslims ed. Omid Safi). There are many
Christian Liberation Theologians who also write about the Biblical
reference to the same story and see it somewhat differently than you.

Their readings might convince you or they might not. But the fact is
that different interpretations to the story do exist. And they come
from within Islam/Christianity. Religion/culture does not comprise a
monolithic body of knowledge. And at least I wouldn't want to assert
that my particular understanding of the text is more correct than all
others...

Regards

Well shabnam,
i do agree with you.

its outright crass and outmoded program where people who have got meters of buffer layer between what YOUTH IS and what they think youth is.

if its youth meet, there must be agenda on which youth speaks its mind and for a change let all the old people sit and listen and go back to their respective public post and implement it.

moreover we should have continuous forum and session to follow up what youth said and what it is doing to pursue and to DO IT.

Pity that our youth leaders are also in the middle age. do we have a someone as young as 20-25 to voice their mind?
