Call for proposals:

Making European Muslims: Islam and the Struggle over Beliefs, Perceptions and Identities among Children and Young People in Western Europe
Two-day conference in Copenhagen, Denmark
Friday 28 to Saturday 29 October, 2011
Organized by the Arab and Islamic Studies Unit and the Child and Youth Unit, Aarhus University


As states and politicians in North-Western Europe focus more and more on the “integration” of Muslim populations, the religion of Islam becomes ever more controversial. While the focus of attention is often elsewhere, it is among children and young people that the struggle over the making of Europe’s Muslim citizens is most intense. Although some European Muslim children attend private schools catering to students of Muslim background, most attend public schools operated by the states in which they reside, and it is in these schools, above all, that religious beliefs, perceptions and identities are contested and constructed. The conference explores the processes and interests involved and their outcomes.
Previous studies have pointed out the importance of Islam as an identity marker and as a common point of reference for schoolchildren with minority backgrounds. Less attention, however, has been paid to ways in which Islam is constructed in changing social, intellectual and cultural contexts, and how boundaries between religion and culture are negotiated and shifted. These, along with the construction of identities, are among the focal points of the conference.

Conference aims and objectives

The conference has a dual purpose: to broaden perspectives in relation to an ongoing Danish project on Islam and Muslims in Danish public schools, and to establish the foundations for a multi-author book, Making European Muslims: Islam and the Struggle over Beliefs, Perceptions and Identities among Children and Young People in Western Europe , with a target publication date of 2014. The book will be arranged thematically rather than geographically: rather than attempting comprehensive coverage of the European scene, it will focus on the most significant issues and interfaces.
The topics to be explored include, but are not limited to:
Broader contexts.
These include conceptions of secularism and the interplay between politics, the media, and schools. What are the views of educational authorities and school managements on the proper place of religion in general, and of Islam in particular, in education? How do political imperatives and media stories develop, and what impact do they have?
Classrooms.
The classroom is where the individual Muslim child meets the school, and thus indirectly meets relevant broader contexts. What processes are involved in the formation of identities among Muslim and non-Muslim children? What perceptions of religion and of Islam are formed? What beliefs are created, confirmed, and excluded?
Families.
The school is only one environment in which children grow up. The family is also extremely important, and differences between family and school environments and authorities create conflicts that children must resolve or negotiate. How do Muslim families (and especially parents) view public schools and the values and practices they promote? How do parents respond to whatever conflicts they perceive? How to children navigate between the worlds of home and classroom?’
Outcomes.
What are the perceptions of each other, and understandings of Islam and of religion in general with which children--Muslim and also non-Muslim—emerge? Are there specific Danish or European ways to be Muslim? What identity issues emerge from the experiences in schools? And in what ways do different kinds of public schools open different identity spaces?

Proposals
Proposals for participation in this conference are now invited in two categories: papers that can potentially be developed by 2013 into chapters for Making European Muslims, and discussants with previous expertise in relevant areas. All proposals should include a short biography, and optionally a list of up to three related works already published or in press. Proposals for papers should include an abstract of about 500 words, describing both the proposed paper and the methodology employed. The travel and accommodation costs of accepted presenters and discussants will be paid by the organizers. Proposals in both categories should be sent to Mark Sedgwick, mjs@teo.au.dk, by 2 May, 2011. At a later stage, interested scholars who wish to participate without presenting papers that can be developed into chapters for Making European Muslims will be also invited, but these scholars will be responsible for paying their own travel and accommodation costs.

THE BLACK SEED

http://www.muslimhealthnetwork.org/

History of the Black SeedFor over two thousand years the black seed, a plant from the Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family, has been traditionally used by various cultures throughout the world as a natural remedy for several diseases and ailments and to improve health in general.The ancient Egyptians knew and used the black seed and described it as a panacea (cure for problems and diseases). Tutankamun even had a bottle of the oil in his tomb!The Romans also knew this seed and called it Greek Coriander and used it as a dietary supplement.In the first century, the Greek physician Dioscoredes recorded that the black seed were taken to treat headaches, nasal congestion, toothache and intestinal worms.The black seed is also mentioned in the Bible in Isiah 28:25-27 as the ‘fitches’. Ibn Senna, known in the West as Avicenna, who wrote the great medical treatise 'The Canon of Medicine', referred to the black seed as the seed ‘that stimulates the body's energy and helps recovery from fatigue’.
What is Nigella Sativa (the black seed)?Nigella Sativa originates from Western Asia and is a herb that grows about 16-24 inches in height and has white flowers when in bloom. The plant is now cultivated from the Near East to India. The deep black, sharp-cornered rectangular seeds (no longer than 3 mm) are the part of the plant that is used for the preparation of products. The black seed is cultivated in Russia, Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, Oman, Ethiopia, Middle East, Far East, India, Bangladesh, France, Germany and the Mediterranean Basin. It also grows wild in Egypt, Syria, Asiatic Turkey and the Balkan States.Nigella Sativa is known commonly in Arabic as Habbat-ul-Baraka (blessed seed) and in English as Love in the Mist.ResearchSince 1959, over 200 studies have been carried out at international universities and articles published in various journals have shown remarkable results supporting its traditional uses.The Nigella Sativa seed itself contains numerous esters of structurally unusual unsaturated fatty acids and the chemical composition is very rich and diverse. Apart from its active ingredient, crystalline nigellone, it contains 15 amino acids (including eight of the nine essential ones), carbohydrates, fatty acids including linolenic and oleic, volatile oils, alkaloids and dietary fibre, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, sodium and potassium.Recent research on the black seed as an anti-biotic, anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic, anti-bacterial, anti-bronchial and immune boosting agent has shown great promise.
Traditional uses of the Black Seed from around the worldFor centuries, the black seed and its oil has been used by people in Asia, Africa, the Middle and Far East to promote health and fight disease. It has been traditionally used to treat a variety of ailments and conditions related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal complaints, kidney and liver function, circulatory and immune system support and to improve health in general.

Green day -09

This morning hv my flakes and cofee (i still cannot get rid of this) :-(. Roti Canai is my engine for the entire day till dinner.

Fashion














Ok, let’s begin with new fashion, lately I am so fascinate about fashion take a glance at below blog:



http://www.hijabstyle.co.uk/2008/06/summer-workwear.html,

I am so into shirtdress with jeans and skirt that I think so natural look and suite for the career women like me.




My Style



When it comes to clothing, I will opt for a comfortable, easy-going, travel-light style. I am not very niggled about what I am wearing, as long as it maintains modesty, is affordable, colorful, and nice for me to look at, then it's ok. I dress for myself, hence, if I like the reflection I'm looking in the mirror, which is my style for the day. I love skirt with a tunic top or dress with a cardigan. They are comfortable, and I can run for the bus/train/plane if I need to (and mind you, this happens a lot when I'm travelling!).. I think I am a very practical person too, and so backpacks are the best when traveling, but recently I found that large handbags are extremely useful, especially travelling with my Jasmine, all inside there.I love colors, and I think the 'cherry on top' with wearing hijabs is that I can match (or sometimes purposely mismatch) the color of my dress with my headscarf, and this can bring statements to my attire for certain occasions.
I think Muslimahs should not stop themselves from doing things they love because of hijab. If you feel like travelling the world, yes you can be a queen to the world in wearing hijab. If you feel like hiking mountains, then wear your hiking shoes, smother sunblock lotion, don't forget the colorful hijab...and off you go! I do this all the time, and I can assure you it is a lot of fun!



Creativity is most important in wearing…………



So yeah as long as it with the islamic rules of dressing, muslim fashion can go beyong anythings.

So so sweet right :-).


At home i got tones of hijab, sometimes my husband really mad or " pain in the neck" for him by looking at all the hijab......Insyallah i will posted some of my personal clothes and hijab collection.
