Defense of materialism and history - Sadik Jalal Sadik Al-Azm (Arabic) Sadik Al-Azm (Arabic,صادق العظم) (born in Damascus, Syria, in 1934) is a Professor Emeritus of Modern European Philosophy at the University of Damascus in Syria. His area of specialization is the Islamic world and its relationship to the West, and he has contributed to the discourse of "Orientalism". He is also known as a human rights advocate and a champion of intellectual freedom. He grew up in a well-known Sunni family. In 1963, after finishing a Ph.D. from Yale University, he began teaching at the American University of Beirut. His book Self-Criticism After the Defeat (1968) analyzes the impact of the Six Day War on Arabs. Many of his books are banned in Arab nations (with the exception of Lebanon). He is a notable critic of Edward Said's Orientalism, claiming that it essentialises 'the West' in the same manner that Said criticises imperial powers of essentialising 'the East'. Al-Azm was jailed by the Lebanese government after publishing his 1969 book Critique of Religious Thought (Naqd al-Fikr al-Dini, Beirut, 1970). In 2004, he won the Erasmus Prize, with Fatema Mernissi and Abdulkarim Soroush. In 2004, he also received the Dr. Leopold-Lucas-Preis of the Evangelical-Theological Faculty of the University of Tűbingen. In 2005 he became a Dr. Honoris Causa at Hamburg University. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ For more information and to discuss this book, please visit us in our group on ¤ ¤ Facebook. ¤ http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25585203372 ¤ ¤ ¤ - We believe that the separation of religion and state is the solution - ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Thank you for this torrent.
And yes, let us all work for the separation of state & religion.
And for freedom for Palestine and the Palestinians.
Why these racist comments here? If you are stupid enough to belive that if someone is Arabic - or speaks arabic - he or she should be shunned you should craw back into you KK pit.

"All I needed to know about islam happened on 9/11"
and
"Does the defense history include how you lost to the Israeli's in the 3 major wars you started against Israel ?"
and
"I hope that they'll kill all the Arabs in one day. Those sand niggers escaped from their own country and now they're stealing in my country."
Wow, you guys are fucking nuts.
"sand-niggers" what the fuck does that mean?
Which "my country" are you talking about?
If you're American, (trying not to assume that, ignorance is a stereotype of Americans, after all) then you "stole" your own country from the natives.
Please, just love your neighbour.
Peace and respect between everyone, okay?
Stop this nonsense.
