Dorothy Margraf has insisted I put a reference here rather than in the comments where I annotated it. I have an article about the Alliance of Civilizations posted at NEWS WITH VIEWS website, www.newswithviews.com. I'm busy preparing for a hearing, and even Christmas is suffering for me as I comply with a rigid court schedule, however, as soon as time permits, I will copy the article to this site.
I will also be doing a two hour interview for Dr. Stanley Monteith's program this Friday night, 11 p.m. Eastern time, 8 p.m. Pacific Time on the subject.
Thanks for bearing with me!

Constance,
ReplyDeleteThe linkage between the AOC and Javier Solana is interesting. So far, I've seen the linkage through the Anna Lindh Foundation. It's foundational documents' objectives are identical to the AOC's.
Are there any other areas of reading you can recommend that would further strengthen my knowledge on the Solana/AOC linkage?

Constance mentions Karen Armstrong in her article. Armstrong, one of the AoC High Level Group members, has much to say about religious fundamentalism. Here is an interview:

Google search "Karen Armstrong" "Christian fundamentalism" and you'll find much.

ReplyDeleteI am the puppetmaster behind the scenes. Connie asks what I ask her to do....NOT. I contact her as anyone can. My thought was that those who have followed her excellent work over the years here on the blog needed to have called to their attention the column she now has at New and Views. It is a piece that lends itself to forwarding, and she is too modest to push herself forward without a major nudge.
ReplyDeleteI so respect her work and have followed it for many years. I do not know anyone whose views are so comprehensive, so on target and so unselfserving. I am fortunate that I came across her work so early and am so pleased that I have a chance to be a part of it.
She aint perfect, but I'm far far from it myself...LOL.

Karen Armstrong...*SCOFF*!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery one of her books that I skim, I slam shut. I hate her books!!! She spouts some really ignorant stuff, and what's more she writes these books like they are iron-clad, end-all testimonies of truth. She might as well had written the Da Vinci Code because everyone KNOWS what sound scholarly research Dan Brown put into his novel. NOT!!!!
To just hear her name for some reason throws me in a rage. I don't understand how she can stand by her claims when there is so much overwhelming evidence that state the opposite of her arguments.
Am I wrong for feeling this way?
Michael,
ReplyDeleteI find her writing just as distasteful. I think she really believes it herself. It's obvious to me she absolutely hates fundamentalists--perhaps more so than AOC High Level Group member John Esposito.

Dear Michael,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right on!
Herb Peters has an excellent summary post at his web site called Overview.
