Malcolm X’s legacy lives on 45 years after his assassination
During this period Malcolm began to emphasize the central role of women in the national liberation process. In an interview in Paris he told the public, “One thing I became aware of in my traveling recently through Africa and the Middle East, in every country you go to, usually the degree of progress can never be separated from the woman. If you’re in a country that’s progressive, the woman is progressive. If you’re in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it’s because the woman is aware of the importance of education.”
Malcolm continued, “But in every backward country you’ll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed, it’s because the women don’t have education. So one of the things I became thoroughly convinced of in my recent travels is the importance of giving freedom to the woman, giving her education, and giving her the incentive to get out there and put that same spirit and understanding in her children. And I frankly am proud of the contributions that our women have made in the struggle for freedom, and I’m one person who’s for giving them all the leeway possible because they’ve made a greater contribution than many of us men.” (By Any Means Necessary, p. 179, 1970)....

My communications with Randall Butisingh..(worlds’ oldest BLOGGER )
Randall Butisingh is the worlds’ oldest BLOGGER at 97 years. He grew up in Buxton, East Coast Demerara, Guyana. http://randallbutisingh.wordpress.com/about/ .
March 27, 2008
Dear Mr.Butisingh,
I found your blog today and have been reading it for the past 2 hours. I love your writings, I love your messages and toughts. I love what you wrote about the Holy Quran “The true message, like all good poetry, is that which is felt but cannot be written; and it needs not scholarship but the faith and humility of the listener to get the message”.
May God keep you in good health, so that you can continue sending messages and thoughts because I only just found your blog.

Dear Khairun,’
I was happy to know that you visited my Blog and was appreciative of what you discovered there. As you may have discovered also, I am not a professed Muslim. I was raised as a Christian from birth by Hindu parents and grew up in the Christian Church, in a village which was predominantly Afro-Guyanese. But eventually I separated from the church as I saw it as exclusive and divisive and I wanted to be involved in all mankind. However I still look to Hazrat Isa as my role model. I am at present living in the home of my son-in-law and daughter who are Muslims. There I learnt to read the Holy Qur’an in the Arabic script and have memorised some of the shorter Suras, including Al Fatiha. You may also have discovered that I am interested in Comparative Religion and Philosophy and have done studies in them.
I am glad to know that your son is accomplished in the recital of the Holy Qur’an. I only trust that he has not been brainwashed by the bigots who have misinterpreted Jihad and will want to throw away his young life, but as his name Hafiz connotes, protect it and use it for the protection of others. I am sorry that this illegal war which most people did not want is claiming the lives of thousands of innocent lives and have brought untold suffering to many. It is well that you have found a haven in Canada. I have some friends in Toronto with whom I keep in touch. Now that I know you, I trust that we too will become friends. Allah has made us all of the same clay, male and female, all the various ethnic groups and want us all to unite as one family. Only in Unity, not Division can there be Peace on Earth.
I thank you again for visiting my weblog and for your favourable comment. I am happy to know that I am providing food for thought to so many who choose to read my opinion on various topics. I sincerely welcome you and will be happy to hear from you again.
Salaam,
Randall.

Dear Mr. Butisingh,
Thank you for this lovely reply and for sharing your religious background. I showed the reply to my son. He would like to know what motivated you to memorize a few surahs from the Quran.
May God keep you safe always.

Dear Hhairun
Tell your son that I believe in the validity of, not only the people of the Book, but of other religions that are striving to reach God by their own paths. I believe there is the fine thread of truth woven into the fabric of every religion which only the discerning few can find. I have found that thread of truth in the religion of Islam by association, by reading the Qur’an and the Hadith. I like the beautiful cadence of the Suras and also the elegant caligraphy of the script. I make it a point to memorise inspirational passages, not only from the Qur’an, but from other holy writings.

World's oldest monastery restored
Egypt has completed the restoration of reputedly the world's oldest Christian monastery, called Saint Anthony's.
The monastery is believed to be 1,600 years old. The government-sponsored restoration project cost over $14m (£8.9m) and took more than eight years. The monastery is a popular site for Coptic Christian pilgrims.
The restoration comes soon after Egypt's worst incident of sectarian violence in a decade, when six Copts were shot dead on Christmas Eve. BBC's Cairo correspondent Yolande Knell says it is hoped the newly-restored monastery in Suez City will be held up as a sign of co-existence between Egypt's Muslim majority and Christian minority.
Solitary life
Speaking at the site, Egypt's chief archaeologist Zahi Hawass stressed that restoration work at the monastery was carried out by Muslims. "The announcement we are making today shows to the world how we are keen to restore the monuments of our past, whether Coptic, Jewish or Muslim," said Mr Hawass.
Saint Anthony settled in a cave in remote mountains close to the Red Sea at the end of the 3rd Century to live in isolation. When he died, his followers built the monastery and named it after him.
The project has restored an ancient wall, a tower, two main churches and the monks' quarters.

“Tuesdays with Morrie” and our Death Denying Culture
“Tuesdays with Morrie” and our Death Denying Culture
http://muslimmatters.org/2010/02/02/tuesdays-with-morrie-and-our-death-denying-culture/
by: http://adeepershadeofsoul.wordpress.com/
“…most of us all walk around as if we’re sleepwalking. We really don’t experience the world fully, because we’re half asleep, doing things we automatically think that we have to do.”
What he meant by this was that we spend so much of our lives doing things that we think are extremely important when in reality they are not. For example, we work tirelessly so that we can buy that item we wanted or get that promotion we wanted, all at the expense of precious time spent with family and friends or in contemplation and prayer.
The student in the book (the author Mitch Albom) responds, “And facing death changes that?” Professor Morrie says:
“Oh yes, you strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. We are too involved in materialistic things and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.”

Lost children: Why they should stay in Haiti - thestar.com
Lost children: Why they should stay in Haiti - thestar.com
Sun Jan 31 2010 by: Nicole Baute
There is no fool like the one who wants to be fooled.
Professor David Smolin wrote those words in 2005 referring to adoptive parents in the Western world. Eager to believe they are saving orphaned children from poverty, he wrote, they are easily fooled into accepting laundered children from the developing world.
He knows first-hand how such a thing could happen.
In 1998, Smolin, who teaches at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law , and his wife, Desiree, adopted two girls from India who did not take kindly to joining their large American family in Birmingham, Ala. "They had a very, very difficult time from the very moment that they arrived," Desiree Smolin says.
The sisters, roughly 10 and 12 years old, had been living in a hostel – what most North Americans would recognize as an orphanage – in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, until their adoption. But they were not orphans.
It was not until 2004, after a series of scandals halted adoption in that part of India, that the Smolins were able to confirm the story their adopted daughters had told them six weeks after their arrival – that their parents had sent them to a hostel for an education, and they had been adopted out, without their consent.
For the last several years, the Smolins have been researching international adoption to try to figure out whether their case was a tragic fluke, akin to an airplane crash, or whether there are systemic problems within the inter-country adoption system that make it inherently vulnerable to corruption and abuse.
"The answer has unfortunately been it is systemic," Desiree Smolin says.
David Smolin argues that children have been commodified and often made into "paper orphans." In one scenario, poor parents send the children to live in a hostel or orphanage to receive food, care and education; in others, developing world recruiters use false statements or money to separate kids from their parents, or persuade them to relinquish a child to repay a debt. Sometimes extended family members or strangers simply take them. Other times lost children are taken in and little effort is made to find their families.
The children in orphanages in many countries (including potentially Haiti, UNICEF warns) are not necessarily parentless children, orphans in the Western understanding of the word.
"Our assumptions are all off," Desiree Smolin says. "We assume that every child in an orphanage is an orphan."
There are opportunities throughout the expensive adoption process for recruiters, adoption agencies, orphanages, officials and attorneys to pocket thousands of dollars – and unless we limit the amount of money Westerners can spend on foreign adoption, the financial incentive will continue to fuel corruption, David Smolin argues.
"When my wife and I first began talking about this we got very negative reactions, overwhelmingly," David Smolin says. But he says that has changed in more recent years, with well-publicized scandals in countries such as Cambodia and Guatemala and fewer foreign adoptees coming into the U.S. since 2004, when the figure peaked at 22,884.
And the media have indeed started paying attention.
In 2008, E.J. Graff published an often-cited award-winning investigative piece in Foreign Policy called "The Lie We Love," describing international adoption as a corrupt industry driven by poverty and Western demand.
And just last fall, for example, the L.A. Times reported that instead of levying fines for failing to comply with one-child policies in some rural parts of China, officials were snatching babies for adoption, turning a $3,000 per child profit in the process.
COULD THE international adoption system be inherently flawed? The idea is understandably unsettling for people in Canada, a country that saw 1,908 international adoptions in 2008 – and in the past two weeks, has ushered two planeloads of Haitian orphans into the arms of Canadian families.
In 1993, Canada became a part of the Hague Convention on inter-country adoption, which was formed to better protect children from abuse and trafficking. Although it has a lengthy adoption approval process, Haiti is not a part of the Hague Convention.
Because of stricter regulation in many countries, it became more difficult for Canadians to adopt from abroad; between 2003 and 2006 the numbers dropped. They have since been edging back up.
Karen Shadd, a spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration, says adoption can be a lengthy process because of the need to ensure children are not being trafficked. "It's really not red tape ... the best interests of the child come first and we have to ensure that everything has been done, that the children have been legitimately placed for adoption," she says.
Even the system's skeptics and critics will say international adoption can be a good alternative for poor children in poor countries – if governments, parents and adoption agencies are vigilant.
The threat of trafficking for the purposes of adoption or prostitution becomes much graver during disasters like the current one in Haiti, which has left thousands of children orphaned or unaccompanied. Even before the earthquake, trafficking and kidnapping of children was a problem in the Western hemisphere's poorest country, and the post-quake chaos has reportedly made things worse.
In one case, a Canadian pastor told reporters that a man offered to sell him a little Haitian boy for $50. He refused.
Concern for the children's well being led Canadia and the U.S. to expedite adoptions already underway – Canada has welcomed 76 children and counting.
But it is not a time for haste. The Haitian government has since decided that the prime minister must sign off on every child that leaves the country. The U.S. government has asked its citizens for patience.
"We've heard quite a few who have suggested, `Why don't we just bring these children out (of Haiti) until things are better?'" says Patrick McCormick, an emergency communications officer with UNICEF. "Our problem with that is that it makes the whole registration, tracing process difficult to impossible, if they're kind of gone."
McCormick says UNICEF supports the decision to fast-track adoptions that were already approved, provided the paperwork is in order. But he says: "Now, post-earthquake, just because there is this disaster there's no reason to take any short cuts."
Sandra Scarth, president of the Adoption Council of Canada, agrees that the inter-country adoption system is flawed. She signed the Hague Convention as a non-governmental representative – and says, like the Smolins, that because it does not place a financial limit on adoption fees, tragedies will continue.
"I think until there is some agreement that no more than the actual cost plus a reasonable compensation for people doing the work (is allowed), I think we will continue to see people rush from one country to the next country," she says. "Then practices will be poor, they will then close that country down and start over."
KAREN DUBINSKY, a history professor at Queen's University with a 10-year-old son adopted from Guatemala, says the corruption in international adoption is a symptom of systemic poverty.
"Global poverty and political economy creates desperate people," says Dubinsky, whose book Babies Without Borders: Adoption and Migration Across the Americas, is due this spring. "One desperate person might snatch the child out of the arms of another desperate person, or one desperate mother might make her own set of decisions about needing to relinquish her child. I don't think it's adoption that creates that stuff – I think adoption responds to it, and it sometimes doesn't respond all that well."
Dubinsky says we must not assume that orphaned children in impoverished countries are isolated and alone – as if they live in cabbage patches, like the popular dolls of the '80s.
"When I see the imagery that comes through, sometimes in the media and certainly the imagery of adoption agencies, it's always children alone," Dubinsky says. "Children aren't alone. They may or may not have parents, but they have communities and they have extended family and they're not waiting for Western people to rescue them."
Dubinsky believes international adoption can indeed be done ethically. She knows her son wasn't stolen – she has met his biological mother and his foster family in Guatemala. She believes that in the "good" adoption scenario, we must respect the mother's decision to relinquish her child, whatever her reasons might be.
There is a lot of potential loss involved in international adoption, says Rachel Wegner, a board member on the international policy advocacy team of Ethica, a not-for-profit dedicated to ethical adoption. "There's a loss of culture, there's a loss of family and there's also a loss of friends and support networks the child has developed in the orphanage."
In an ideal world, Wegner says, foreign adoption would be the last resort for children – they would ideally be placed with extended family members first, and then in domestic placements to unrelated caregivers.
"Our fear in a lot of this is that those two steps are skipped."
Desiree Smolin puts it in starker terms. "I'll give you an analogy," she says. "Amputations are sometimes necessary, but you don't want every doctor that you see when you go in with your toe hurting, you don't want an amputation."
You need a doctor, she says, who is careful enough to know when the amputation is needed and when it isn't.
