View Point

The presence of Islam in the politics and Islamism in the Turkish society is like a re-incarnation of religious consciousness which faced decisive suppression of decades. This religious isolation has been shut down in the Turkish society and the return of the religious consciousness should not be seen as a threat to the secular system of republic of turkey. Rather, it should be understood as steps toward the democratization of the country. Most of the political parties advocate that the democratization process must happen in turkey .But they are not ready to implement in the society fearing the consequences that will take place the pre dominancy of the religious consciousness. AKP (Adelet ve kalkilmah Partisi) Islamic rooted political party is in their third term. June 12 2011 election they got 49.9 % votes.

Sufis in India spread all over the India the message of love and compassion between both Muslims and Hindus. Their attempt to balance the religious harmony was immemorial. Their preaching of Islam was in very systematic style and manner which inclined the love to the objective. Considering the existing life style and religious and cultural differences, These Muslim saints behaved in a pluralistic way. By their social interaction the Hindu society welcomed them and accommodated with great respect. From the royal family to common people gave them whatever they wanted and the kings especially in Kerala ordered the people to give these saints the lands and helped to build up the mosques. Sufism had an important part in the formation of Muslim societies as it educated the masses and met their felt needs, giving spiritual meaning to their lives and channeling their emotions. Sufis were also great missionaries who converted new regions to Islam. Its cultural contribution was a rich poetry

On 12 April 2010 current US President convened the nuclear security summit in Washington, a two days event to promote the disarmament and apposing terrorism and seek to line up international support for the US attempts to isolate and pressure the governments of Iran and North Korea. Instead of position of confrontation of Bush administration, Obama tries the trappings of multilateralism and global summitry, hosting the largest gathering of heads of state in US. The aim of this summit was to create the conditions for sanctions against Iran, too threaten North Korea and sustain the US supremacy both in conventional and nuclear weapons and against potential challenges from more formidable powers, like China, Russia. By refusing to invite Iran, North Korea and Syria, Obama administration showed their double standard. Very immediately as a counter attack Iran summoned another conference after one week of Washington conference. Iran sharply criticized the US on this issue. Khamenei the

The terrorist attack on 9/11 unquestionably altered the shape and thrust of US foreign policy in the short to medium term and have raised many questions, not just about the direction of US foreign policy but also about the shape of the international system itself. Iran was apparently included in the black list of US administration. The then President Bush’s historical speech in 2002 to congress sheds the light on this matter. To prevent the spread of weapon of mass desertion and elimination of terrorism, the US would take action. The President Bush proclaimed. “Our goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction, Some of these regimes have been pretty quit since September the 11 th .But we know their true nature. North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an u

INTRODUCTON The event of 9/11 made profoundly various consequences within and outside the United States. The attack on the US homeland caused a shift in the national psyche, an unprecedented feeling of fear. This event ultimately shocked the American people, shattered the perception of mythical security of the US homeland and US citizens and facilitated the US administration to justify their pre planned actions to be implemented in terms of a war on terrorism. The legitimization of clash of civilization was the one of the main impacts of the event of 9/ 11. By this trajectory of evangelistic psyche the Islamic West Asia was identifies as the vehement threat of the US and her citizens. The 9/11 was transformed as a golden chance for the neo- conservatives of United States to prepare for the hegemony of us over the west Asia militarily and diplomatic relations IRAN IS ALLEGED After the collapse of Soviet Union, United States of America was looking for a capable enemy .This

ASH’ARITIES This group is related to Abul Hasan ali ibn Ismail al- Ash’ari (260-324A.H). He was a staunch supporter of Mu’talizities and wrote for that up to his 4oth year in 300 A.H. He announces that he was no more supports of the Mu’tazali views. He specially mentionpd that he disagrees with that Qur-an was created, God will not have been with eyes and we were the creations of one action. Main doctrines Attributes of god and their relation with his presence : God has qualities and attributes which are not applicable to human beings. The attributes used for human beings are different from the attributes used for god not only in degree but in kind also. Uncreatedness of qur-an: They upheld the eternity and uncreatedness of the Qur-an .There is a difference in the creation and the command. The heavens and the earth are his creation and Qur-an is command.

Murji’ties The word irja’ has two meanings. The first is postponement as in the words of god: ‘they said put him off, him and his brother that is give him respite or delay him’. The other meaning is to give hope. To use the term al-Murji’a in the first sense for this group is correct, because they look upon deeds as secondary to intention and resolve. The term can absolutely be used of them in the second sense also, because they hold that disobience with faith is not harmful as obedience with disbelief is not beneficial. It is also said that Irjia means deferring the case of one who commits a grave sin to the Day of Judgment, in this world; therefore no judgment is made as to whether he belongs to the people of paradise or to the people of hell. If the world is understood in this way the Murjities and the Wajidiya are two opposing sects. Some say that al-Irja means bringing Ali down from the first to the forth people. In this sense the Murjities and shias became two opposed sects.

The Jabarities It is the group of Jahm ibn Safwan and his adherents. He was advocate of pure determinism. Due to his thought he was put to death by Salim ibn Ahwas al-Mazini in Marw in the last days of the Umayyads. Jabr is a doctrine which denies that a deed is in reality to be attributed to man, as ascribes it to god. There are two main groups of jabarities. 1) The pure Jabarities who do not allow any deed at all to man, not even the power to act. 2) The moderate Jabarities who admit that man has power but maintain that it is a power which is in no way effective. Jahm ibn Jafwan agreed with the Mu’tazilities in denying the eternal attributes, but he also added other doctrines 1) It is not lawful to apply to god an attribute which is also applicable to creatures, because this would imply likeness between god and creatures, he, therefore denies that god is living and knowing, but maintains that he is powerful, an agent and a creator because to creature cannot b

Ilm al kalam is the offspring of Islamic experience of intellectual works. A lot of scholars concentrated the reality of the world, existence of God and His manifestations and ethos. The History and discourse of Ilm al kalam had a very role in Islamic History and intellectual field. Muslim mentality seemed to have tended to these subjects for a long time. Impact of Greek and Roman philosophy on Muslim scholars made them extremely rationalized in their theological works also. Some of them tried to defend Islam from those unislamic tendencies by the opponents’ philosophical methodology. Some were fascinated by the new philosophy which from the outside of Islamic boundaries, and preferred to those ideas. They even viewed Islamic philosophy in terms of Greek and Roman philosophy. Several causes can be traced for the emergence of Ilm al kalam. Simple faith of Islam is the great manifestation of it, and Islam is the simplest religion of all religion of the world.
