The Post-Harper PrinciplesProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
October 7, 2010
On September 11, 1990, more than a decade before the fatal 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S., then-president George M. Bush delivered a ringing speech to a joint meeting of Congress. "Today [a] new world is struggling to be born," he said, "A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak."
Fitting in should not have to cost Muslims their dignityProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
October 13, 2010
I am worried about the future of Muslims in Western countries, especially since 9/11. A number of news reports point to the phenomenon of a people trying so hard to fit in that they end up losing their self-respect and the respect of others.
She was a Sufi womanProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
October 20, 2010
She was a Sufi woman: I live by Faith, and Hope. Better I live for Love than for any man, Better I die for Love than for any land.
Israel: No 'promised land’ or ‘chosen people,' says VaticanProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
October 28, 2010
"We Christians cannot speak about the promised land for the Jewish people. There is no longer a chosen people. All men and women of all countries have become the chosen people," Archbishop Cyril Salim Bustros of the Greek Melkite Catholic Church last week. "The concept of the promised land cannot be used as a base for the justification of the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of Palestinians. The justification of Israel's occupation of the land of Palestine cannot be based on sacred scriptures."
The lies of the US presidents kill millionsProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
November 10, 2010
Colin Powell's shameful lie - in his speech to the UN about Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction seven years ago - should be taught to high school and university students as a text book case for how US (elected) presidents and their (appointed) men and women lie to their people and to the world and how as result they export death, destruction and misery to millions of men, women and children the world over.
Sufism-a life for truth seekersProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
November 17, 2010
There was a time when many Muslims were members of the Sufi order. Sufis would practice what other Muslims did and more. They would try hard to be God-centered on planet Earth.
Muslims judging MuslimsProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
November 24, 2010
Islam has no place for excommunicating a Muslim. Any person who chooses to declare in public that "la-elaha-ila-Allah, Muhammed rasul-Allah"; "I witness that there is no deity except the One God, and Muhammed is His messenger" is a Muslim.
We need more engineers in politicsProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
December 2, 2010
In Canada and the US most politicians are lawyers. But engineers are wealth generators, problem solvers and civilization builders; we need more of them in politics.
Margaret Wente, paid to be meanProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
December 8, 2010
In her column on November 30, Margaret Wente, of Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper, praised Australia for telling immigrants that "if they miss their elderly parents, they should buy a plane ticket home," instead of allowing them - as the case in Canada - to use "a family reunification program." She praised Australia again by saying that "language competence is so essential to immigrant success that if you can't speak English, you can't get in."
My visit to OmanProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
December 17, 2010
Oman is not well known to Canadians. We do not have an embassy there and Oman does not have one in Ottawa. My visit to Oman was triggered by my visit to the beautiful island of Zanzibar, earlier this year. I have fallen in love with Zanzibar from reading about its fascinating history, both in English and Arabic. It’s the history that brought me here to Oman.
