  THE QUR’AN ON THE CIVILIZATION CROSSWORD:BEHIND THE SECRET EVERY RELIGION IS A WEAPON FOR OR AGAINST SOMETHING: WHICH QUR’AN WILL BRING A FINAL PEACE  TO THE MUSLIM PEOPLE ? MECCA OR MEDINA? “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” ― Voltaire The hardest task on the world is not talking about the times without faith in God but about the times when faith in God brings demons on the ground. Then, instead of peace and understanding, people are dealing with war and deep hatred, with no  reasons. Religion, as I see it personally, should be another excuse for love for each others and not the  cover for divisions and fire against each others. In the last 20 years, the Islam as a religion  by itself, has become the most controversial term in global relations because it has gravitated from the field of belief to the abused political ideology.I am not referring here only   to the facts that some extreme groups took Isl...

  THE SYRIAN DRUZE:ESOTERIC INFIDELS IN THE LAST BATTLE FOR THEIR HEARTLAND HOW ONE SMALL  RELIGIOUS GROUP HAS CHANGED THE ME LANDSCAPE ? THE POWER OF STAYING NEUTRAL IN THE  WAR AMONG ALL THE SONS OF GRACE: ANCIENT DIPLOMACY OR GOOD POLITICAL LUCK The legendary ethnically Syrian collage hides so many exotic communities and religions that is a challenge  for researcher to reach them and to represent them to the rest of the world. It is fascinating to note that Syria, the last secular Muslim state in the burning area of the Middle East, was a shelter for so many different identities, which have  found their peace there. Not many of us heard about the Druze. Actually, I was very intellectually ashamed that I didn’t know much about them before I decided to open this issue and to inform not only my readers but also myself.Facing up with the deep ocean of unknown is like discovering underworld full of secrets which desire to be brought on the light. The same is ...

  SYRIAN ALAWITES: THE PAINFUL DESTINY OF MISUNDERSTOOD ISLAMIC SECT ALAWITES IN SYRIA: BETWEEN   BASHAR AL-ASSAD, LOSING WAR AND ENDANGERED IDENTITY   “When the rich wage war, its the poor who die” Jean-Paul Sartre In the Syrian nightmare, which has  started in  March 2011, there is none who is safe from suffering but the levels of destruction are different. However, the pain is the same, no matter who is who.  Someone supports the current regime of Bashar al-Assad, someone  eventually  finds the sympathies for Sunnis rebellion or even gives silent support to Islamic extremism by itself, but everyone is touched by that war with no end. Everyone felt the consequences of unleashed  hatred, everyone got  the last tattoo of one broken, demolished and dying country. Syria. It was the pearl of the Middle East. I remember how I was making plans to visit beautiful Damascus and to make some unforgettable memories in  Palmyra. Now,...

  THE YAZIDIS: LOST IN THE MIDDLE EASTERN FLAME THEY ARE FORGOTTEN AND BETRAYED BY EVERYONE THEY ARE SACRIFICED FOR EVERYTHING AND BY EVERYONE THE  YAZIDIS AND THEIR NEVER ENDING TRAGEDY They are not Muslims. They are not Christians. They are not Jews. They have something from everything but they are so unique and so ancient religious group that if you are not informed, you could be easily opinionated that they are some kind of “devil worshipers” . In spite of misunderstanding and thousand years long bad treatment they were given for keeping their religion, the Yazidis are very original religious community which has very rich culture, heritage, tradition and values which are demanding admiration. It is so easy to be in majority and to hold on your belief what is common and accepted. It takes a real courage to accept and to hold on something what is not common and what could be even dangerous to keep. The story of free Yazidi birds who are flying over the dominant religion...
