Brexit oder: Die verzockte Demokratie

Der Brexit ist ein Lehrstück – für Großbritannien, für die EU, aber auch für die Zukunft der westlichen Demokratien. Deren größte Gefahr geht nicht von rechten Überzeugungstätern wie Nigel Farage aus. Dieser hätte den Brexit allein nie erreicht. Sie stammt von politischen Hasardeuren vom Schlage David Camerons und Boris Johnsons.

Ein britischer Weckruf – für Europa

Der Brexit war ein Weckruf, doch nicht alle haben ihn vernommen. Jean-Claude Juncker etwa erklärte kurz nach dem historischen 23. Juni, das umkämpfte Freihandelsabkommen mit Kanada könne ohne Zustimmung der nationalen Parlamente in Kraft treten.

Rehabilitating the Spirituality of Pre-Islamic Arabia: On the Importance of the Kahin, the Jinn, and the Tribal Ancestral Cult

This article brings into focus the misunderstood and oft-ignored pre-Islamic spirituality of, primarily, the Hejaz and their religious leaders, the kahins, often uncharitably translated as soothsayers. A combination of factors has limited discussion of pre-Islamic religion, including the persistent rejection by Muslims of pre-Islamic history as a time of ignorance (jahiliyyah) and a Judaeo-Christian bias in Western scholarship. From the perspectives of anthropology and comparative religion, certain conclusions about pre-Islamic spirituality can be derived. Most important among these is that the pre-Islamic Arabs engaged in clearly religious practices revolving around the importance of the tribe and its members, living and dead. This article will hopefully spark a renewed interest in the study of the spirituality and religion of the pre-Islamic Arabs.
