A large proportion of the inscriptional evidence from Alexandria illustrates the key role of religious institutions and activities, under direct or indirect royal patronage, in the formation of a diverse and flexible cultural environment affording multiple permutations. As part of this environment, religion became the vehicle for the promotion of an ideological programme, appropriate for communicating the dual (i.e. Macedonian and Egyptian) character of the Ptolemaic monarchy in which the individual rulers have both human and divine characteristics. This chapter provides an updated chronological overview of the relevant epigraphic evidence, focusing on the roles and relationships of the Ptolemies and their courtiers as well as of other prominent individuals involved in the Alexandrian cults and temples. The discussion takes into account other types of material evidence for comparison, where possible, in order to provide as ‘panoramic’ a view as possible of the religious landscape.

Abtrack: Radicalism, anti-Americanism, and Islamophobia are three ‘-ism’s that are being the motive of action for one another. Therefore, the project to tackle all three must be a global agenda that not only involves inter-State governance in the East and West, but also demands the active role of community members, civil society institutions, religious institutions, and media times in each Country. In this paper will be outlined the global paradigm that the world scholars of the world are contemplating in order to overcome all three.

AbstractIn the EU accession literature, there is a tendency to downplay the role of discourse in facilitating norm diffusion, particularly when domestic resistance towards European norms is strong. The assumptions in this thinking are that critical deliberations and civil society activism simply lack the potency required to elicit norm conforming behaviour in accession states and that the only realistic hope for achieving this rests with the introduction of material incentives that make the costs of normative adaptation lower than its rewards. I focus on developments in the field of LGBT politics to challenge these assumptions and to specify the conditions under which discursive strategies are likely to stimulate the domestic uptake of contentious norms. I highlight shared identity as a crucial factor in the success of discursive influence, contending that under conditions of identity convergence, a cultural environment prevails in which norm promoters can more effectively ignite a process of deliberative reflection, shame norm-violators into conformance and cultivate resonance around controversial ideas. I develop these arguments through an analysis of LGBT and accession politics in Croatia and Serbia, contending that Croatia’s strong identification with Europe accelerated LGBT recognition there while Serbia’s relatively weaker identification with Europe slowed it down.

In a study found there were three factors that caused the emergence of radicalism in Indonesia. First, radicalism develops at the global level. Both Wahhabism is spread and the third is poverty. Now a days, radicalism has been spread out in Indonesia. It has to be prohibited by anti-radicalism education. Anti-radicalism education can be preventive and anticipative effort for terorism and radicalism expansion. It will done by put anti-radicalism volues for student through learning and teaching process. In Islam concept, there is interdiction for killing and vandalism. On the contrary, Islam learns us for loving peaple/each other. It has realized on subject lesson. Anti-racalism education prosecutes youth generation to respect differentiation, to love each other, to hate vandalism and dissension. Thus, it can discontinue radicalism and terorism in Indonesia. The anthropicity of radicalism can be done through the path of the government's role, the role of religious institutions and education, the role of civil society, some critical issues, welfare approaches, the role of deradicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration.   Keywords: anti-radicalism, education, Indonesia

Role Of Religion

This chapter examines religious change in the five Nordic countries: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. Immigration came later to these countries than in many other parts of Europe, but it has transformed Sweden, Norway, and Denmark into relatively diverse societies; Finland and Iceland remain more homogeneous. In spite of these differences, the religious outlook is changing right across the Nordic countries with a decline in membership in the majority churches, falling indices of religious belief and practice in most of them, growing numbers of people who place themselves outside the faith communities, and multiplying forms of spirituality that lie beyond religious institutions altogether. The chapter addresses the implications that these changes have for religion and state relations, and the role of religion in politics, the media, and civil society.

This study is a content analysis on existing clauses in the Charter of Medina. The results showed that Charter of Medina strictly regulated harmony among religious communities which did not restricted to Muslims only internally, but also between the Muslim communities with other people. From the articles of the Charther of Medina, it seems that the Prophet Muhammad gave a guarantee to all the people of Medina to perform their religious activities. Harmony of religious life in Indonesia, in principle, is set properly. The emergence of various conflicts between religious communities had been driven more by too little awareness among religious communities to adhere to the existing rules. There is a significant relevance if Indonesia now try to build a civil society based on civil values that had been practiced by the Prophet Muhammad in Medina.

Role Of Religion

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "
