This article argues that the Western approach to dealing with drugaddicts is a failure for several reasons. It treats drug addiction from anamoral perspective, seeking external solutions to the problem, whichhave failed in the West as well as in the Muslim World where they wereimported without adjustment for local culture and values. The paperasserts that, Islam embodies values which can not only empower thedrug addict to permanently eschew use of drugs, but can also create anenvironment where there will be no temptation to use them in the firstplace. While recommending treatment, the paper underscores thevirtues of prevention. The paper advances strategies that would enableparents, teachers, the mass media, and practitioners to use the Muslimfaith in eliminating drug usage.

ABSTRACTThe document Dominus Iesus, issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on September 5, 2000, was perhaps the most talked-about document in recent church history, both within and without the Catholic Church. Some of the reactions to it, which came from all quarters, were profound, and provided both a field day for the mass media and much data for theological reflections. Significantly missing from theological journals in the West, however, is the response of the Asian church and its implications for Asian theologies. This is a serious omission since Dominus Iesus, seems to have been written because of and for the Asian church in general and its theologians in particular. The present essay, therefore, looks at this Asian factor, especially in the context of the renewal inaugurated by the Second Vatican Council.

History indicates that before the coming of modern globalization, the Muslims had their own version of globalization. During the Muslim era of globalization which coincides with the Golden Age of the Muslims, the West benefited immensely from the scholastic works produced by Muslim scientists and scholars.  Modern globalization which started during the era of Western colonization of the East has now gone to every nook and cranny of the world. The usage of internet and other modern electronic media directly or indirectly has speeded up the process of transporting modern globalization to the world community. Modern globalization has brought about radical change in aims of education; it has marginalized local culture and language; it has caused brain drain everywhere in the world. Muslims, it seems, are perceiving globalization as identical to re-colonization. This paper intends to explore and investigate how modern globalization heralded by the west is different from Muslim globalization in the past.

When I was preparing my PhD in 1993, the subject “Eastern Christians” or “Christians in the Islamic World” was almost nonexistent in the mass media or in scholarly works. In fact, I prepared my thesis not under the supervision of a specialist in the Middle East but rather under that of a specialist in European Catholicism during the early modern era.

En la actualidad se tiene la percepción de que la política preventiva en materia de drogas es algo relativamente reciente. Sin embargo, entre 1926 y 1931 existió en Barcelona la Asociación contra la Toxicomanía, pionera en reivindicar la prevención desde el ámbito privado, aunque estrechamente vinculada a los poderes públicos. Así como muchos profesionales que hoy intervienen en drogodependencias se lamentan de que los medios de comunicación no dispensan suficiente atención a su trabajo, los responsables de esta asociación nunca manifestaron quejas en este sentido. La existencia la Asociación contra la Toxicomanía, cuya composición, trayectoria y logros se exponen en este artículo, puede constituir una invitación para abordar un estudio de perspectiva comparada con alguna de las asociaciones existentes actualmente. AbsctractAt present we have the perception that the preventive policies on drugs issues are something relatively recent. Nevertheless, between 1926 and 1931, Barcelona had the Asociación contra la Toxicomanía (Association against Drug Addiction) which was a pioneer in claiming the prevention from the private area background though narrowly linked to the public power.Although many professionals today dealing with addictions complain that the mass media do no pay enough attention to their work, the people in charge of this association never complained about this matter.The existence of the Asociación contra la Toxicomanía (Association against Drug Addiction), whose composition, history and achievements are presented in this article, may constitute an invitation to approach a reserch of perspective compared to some of the existing associations nowadays.

Nowadays, the discourses of religion pluralism is one of the frequently-discussed issue among muslim. This case appears along with the emergence of books, works, writings in the mass media, congress, seminars, discussions, and dialogue which are focusing on the religion pluralism. One of the factors causing the emergence of this discourse is a number of conflicts that happened among different religious adherents which was often began by an excessive truth claim. The discourse presented in this paper aims to create harmony life and peace among different religion adherents. Al-Qur’an both admits the existence of other religions and commands its followers to live in harmony as well as respect each other. Islam is “rahmah lil ’ālamīn”, but yet the reality that happens in muslim world is not in line with the ideality. So the question arises in our minds; where is Islam as rahmah lil ’ālamīn? the fact is there are still many muslim who can’t wisely face the plurality as it has been taught by the Qur’an. So how is the Qur’anic guidance to face the plurality? Based on this reason, this article would like to discuss on the Qur’anic guidance in facing the religion pluralism using descriptive-analysis method.
