Indonesian Muslim women who choose to wear the strictest type of women's dress, cadar (full face-veil), have become increasingly visible in Indonesia. This practice is often misunderstood in both popular media and scholarly works on Indonesian Islam: cadari (the wearers) are frequently stereotyped as terrorists or militants belonging to violent groups. The trend of face-veiling is viewed by some scholars as an aspect of the Arabisation of Indonesia. It is also frequently assumed that the cadar symbolises the oppression of Muslim women. Throughout Indonesian history it has often been regarded as a symbol of religious fanaticism. This thesis takes an ethnographic approach to investigate two different categories of women who wear the cadar belonging to two contrasting Islamic revivalist movements-Salafi groups on the one hand and Tablighi Jama'at on the other. The first group, who I term 'passionate cadari, makes a strong commitment to changing their lives to embody the norms of their religious groups. The second group I study consists of women attending an Islamic residential school where the cadar has been standardised. The thesis is based on 12 months of fieldwork in three large cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Makassar) from 2007 to 2008, with a return visit for five months in 2009.

All the teachings of Islam are based on the principle of peace.... It is no exaggeration to say that Islam and violence are contradictory to each other. The concept of Islamic violence is so obviously unfounded that prima facie it stands rejected. The fact that violence is not sustainable in the present world is sufficient indication that violence as a principle is quite alien to the scheme of things in Islam. Islam claims to be an eternal religion and, as such, could never afford to uphold any principle which could not stand up to the test of time. Any attempt to bracket violence with Islam amounts therefore, to casting doubt upon the very eternity of the Islamic religion. Islamic terrorism is a contradiction in terms, much like pacifist terrorism. And the truth of the matter is that, all the teachings of Islam are based directly or indirectly on the principle of peace.

Download and read online ebook Islam Is a True Religion write by Assaad Athanasios Bitar. This book was released on 2009-09. Islam Is a True Religion available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book reveals for the first time that Islam was inspired to Muhammad by the Ascended Masters. These Masters are the spiritual teachers who are serving to raise the consciousness of mankind into a higher state by giving always progressive revelation to mankind. Muhammad was a true messenger from God, who received the original Quran from Archangel Gabriel. However, from the beginning, the teachings of Islam were influenced by a warring culture. This deviation from the original teachings turned Islam into a warring religion, and that was never the intent of the Masters. The message of the Quran was revealed in an Arabic language intended for only the Arabic people who were in a certain state of consciousness. It was a local and temporal message, not eternal and universal for all the people of the Earth. The Quran offers only elementary spiritual teachings and knowledge about God, intended to enable the Arabic tribes to stop warring against each other and accept Godas oneness as opposed to many gods and idolatry. Therefore, the teachings are not beneficial for all time and all people.
