Le taux de reproduction des musulmans indiens supérieur à celui des hindous

Sur les conversions au christianisme d'étudiants chinois, aux USA
Jolie histoire. Mais pas mal de bouddhistes occidentaux pourraient en dire de même de leur réception dans des communautés bouddhistes en Occident ou en Asie.
L'avenir des rapports entre christianisme et bouddhisme est déjà marqué par la coopération, et les échanges alors que ceux entre le christianisme, le judaïsme et l'islam l'est encore souvent par la méfiance ou la confrontation. Les affinités structurelles entre bouddhisme et christianisme (du point de vue des valeurs - empathie, charité - et des règles concernant les mariages mixtes) plongent plus profondément que les racines historiques communes aux trois religions "du Livre".

La Chine pourrait être à la fois le plus grand pays bouddhiste et devenir le plus grand pays chrétien ?

Assise lieu d'une fusion d'un autre type
Le centre de yoga Ananda et le Simple Peace Hermitage contribuent à une rencontre entre le christianisme et les religions de l'Inde et de l'Asie orientale qui pourrait indiquer une direction à un monde déboussolé.

La paranoïa monothéiste
"Muhammad Iqbal, who every Muslim should read, asserts that “the moral and religious ideal of a human is not self-negation but self-affirmation.” And a person attains this ideal by “becoming more and more individual, more and more unique…the greater a person’s distance from God, the less his individuality.”
http://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2015/08/166084/let-us-not-waste-islam/
This appears convoluted but it is not. Iqbal explains that in order to fortify the self, we must take actions that integrate into our selves the Divine attributes. " dit Paola Garcia dans un article sur le site moroccoworldnews.com (August 28, 2015).
Ce qui confirme mon sentiment ancien que le monothéisme conduit à une identification de soi avec une divinité suprême, un des symptômes de la paranoïa.
Ma réponse à Paola Garcia :
"Self-affirmation" is the most primitive tendency of any living organism ! Even to the detriment of all that is not "I" (myself, my clan, my tribe, my religion) ... The very function of all religions deserving that name has precisely been all along human history to counterpoise that original elementary and brutal tendency with thoughts, beliefs and rituals that emphasize what " I " have in common with other people, families, nations and sects or religions. That is the basic condition of any integration at the level of nations and presently of the emerging global society.
Integrate into oneself "the Divine attributes" boils down to take oneself (one's clan, tribe, nation, religion and sect) for God himself.
It is one of the main symptoms of paranoïa.
That is probably the reason why Islam, taking force (physical, or military) as a sign of the divine election of those who are most endowed with it, has always been at war not only with the non-Muslim world but with oneself. And it is surely not a model to follow for the coming world if it survives the present crisis.

Chomsky sur la soi-disant "terrible menace que l'Iran fait courir à la paix mondiale"
http://www.countercurrents.org/chomsky200815.htm
"After all, how can we trust the Iranians with their terrible record of aggression, violence, disruption, and deceit?"
"Fifteen years ago, the prominent political analyst Samuel Huntington, professor of the science of government at Harvard, warned in the establishment journal Foreign Affairs that for much of the world the U.S. was “becoming the rogue superpower... the single greatest external threat to their societies.” Shortly after, his words were echoed by Robert Jervis, the president of the American Political Science Association: “In the eyes of much of the world, in fact, the prime rogue state today is the United States.” As we have seen, global opinion supports this judgment by a substantial margin."

Guère de représentants de l'Arabie ou d'Iran parmi les signataires de l'appel d'Istanbul
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/defying_saudis_iran_muslim_thinkers_call_for_action_climate_change_20150819
"we are beginning to see a split between the Muslim producers of oil & gas, and the Muslim consumers of these fuels. The consumers are more fearful of the effects of climate change and less negatively affected if renewables are substituted for fossil fuels. They will likely get pressure and pushback from oil states like Saudi Arabia."

"The present situation is that agriculture, trade and industry have become global, but the world still lacks adequate institutions at the global level to watch over what is happening and to ensure respect for human needs and respect for the natural environment. Today’s global economic interdependence, instantaneous worldwide communication, and the need for peaceful resolution of international conflicts all call for strong governmental institutions at the global level, but the United Nations today lacks many things that would be necessary if it is to perform such a role: It lacks a legislature with the power to make laws binding on individuals and corporations. It lacks mechanisms for enforcing such laws. And it lacks a large and dependable source of income."

Comment la Chine se prépare à contrôler l'Asie du Sud-Est
La grande question, que de nos jours personne ne pose, mais que tout le monde se pose est : quelle va être l'attitude de l'Asie de l'Est et du Sud-Est vis-à-vis de l'Islam.
"The picture for direct investment — the financial flows that support the construction of factories, offices, warehouses, mines, and farms — is equally striking. From 1995 to 2003, Chinese companies invested a mere $631 million in ASEAN countries; in 2013, they invested $30 billion. Though China remains well behind Japan, Europe, and the US on this front, it certainly has the potential to catch up, as Chinese private-equity firms increasingly look abroad. Indeed, from agriculture to information technology, the Chinese are diversifying their stakes across the region and embedding their companies in ASEAN’s advanced and frontier economies."

La tête de l'hydre
La cause première de la crise actuelle - terrorisme, conflits endémiques du Moyen-Orient se prolongeant depuis 50 ans et menaçant la paix mondiale, migrations incontrôlées - se trouve dans l'alliance contre-nature entre l'Occident - particulièrement les USA - et le wahabisme/salafisme arabe.

"The world is locked into a clash of civilizations, each side pointing the finger of blame at the other: the Western world’s ‘war on terror’ to crush Muslim barbarians, and the Muslim world’s ‘jihad’ to repel Western empire. Ironically, neither side could exist without the other."
Pas plus que les Arabes ne pourraient exister sans Israël, et l'inverse ....
