Brief Notes On The Fundamentals Of Islamic Revival: Abul Hussein
Brief Introduction To The Matter At Hand
In the struggle for interpretative dominance and the debate regarding how to proceed in the process and activity of da'wah and education (both core aspecs of Islamic Revival) many issues present themselves and often in a quite unsystematic, frenzied matter. At this point we need clarity, i.e., this stage of da'wah demands clarity and order. The irony of those who would have us label all things modern as Dajalic or Shaitanic is that they have flourished in the very system that they demonize, frankly many have benefited from our demonization of the other (West) it only feeds the claim to our Orientalness (otherness), to our being totally alien to the process of the civilized world and the free society.
We are not in need of a new theory of apology to defend Islam nor in need of a rhetoric of protest to castigate the West and its henchmen but rather we are in need of orientation and purposed action.
The Guiding Principle Of Islamic Revivalist Thought
For the Muslim living under the shade of Modernity, a world patterned after rational order many a time (rather most of the time) Islamic discourse (for da'wah and revival) is disorderly fraught with gaps (confused, disconnected from life). Shaikh al-Islam Tahir Ibn Ashour (r), established for us a fundamental principle for revival in explaining the Prophetic saying:
" Say: I believe in Allah then seek to follow a straight path" (Sahih from the hadith of the Forty hadith of Imam al-Muhaddith an-Nawawi (r))
Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Ashour (r) a scholar from Zaytuna in Tunis said this Prophetic text means that first we are to reform our intellect, its thought process and conceptualizing of matters and then we are to reform out acts. Islamic revival then begins with this first step purification of belief and acting correctly these two things cultivate correct spirituality by establishing the life of the intellect and soul on correct belief and action. Shaikh al-Islam was a very traditional scholar this is the da'wah of many traditional scholars that we need to look at the way we think and understand our texts and the world and build on that which will cultivate an Islamic life. Shaikh al-Islam was one of the greatest exponents of the Theory Of The Aims Of Islamic Law by Imam Shatibi (r).
Drawing Parallels, Muslims In The West Then And In The West Today: Crisis As Opportunity For Revival
When we look at the Ulema of Granada (r) roughly 500 years ago they were engaged in the effort of Ijithad and meeting the needs of their times. Dr. Jalali Mareni a scholar from the Maghrib who wrote on Shatibi said that the Ulema of Granada (the last strong hold of Islam before the disappearance of Al-Andalaus) held that the fact that life presented so many in and out caused many of the scholars to penetrate deep into the scholarly legacy and the source texts of Islam (Qur'an and Sunna) so as to respond to life from an living Islamic discourse.
Many would have us believe that Muslims have no intellectual crisis ( a shift) nor a need for ijtihad nor a need to connect people with the source texts of Islam and the scholarly legacy. All revival begins first with a correction of thought and belief and with a correction of the way we practice. This first step of revival takes place in education in looking at the way education takes place and being clear on the objectives of education and measuring the qualitative and quantitative aspects of education.
To date there is not one educational institution in the West capable of producing scholars ready to deal with the 21 century not to mention give fatwa. It is beyond me how many muslims in the West have arguments against: Ijtihad, Fiqh of Minorities, Maqasid ash-Shar'iah, Comparative Fiqh, Taqleed, the need to teach people with evidence and other established principles of Islamic revival and how we still read of "awaam" in traditionalist terms debate in Aqeeda. From where have they gained the ability and know how to engage?
Knowing One's Limits: Having A Reference Point Means Giving The Scholars A Platform
If we are to take cue by tradition then let us look at one classification that some of the scholars had they divided people up into three classes:
(Although I in no way propose a return to this societal schema let the people of reflection reflect (today we are in need of widespread literacy and intellectual interfacing (scholars and intellectualls sitting side by side). )
The Muqallid in the absence of a mujtahid was inclusive of the majority of scholars according to this paradigm, since there are no mujtahids. All others in this classification are awaam (illiterates) that have no right to speak on matters of Deen they are upon the madhab of the mufti they have no madhab except that of the scholar they take fatwa from. This understanding is well documented in our Books. If we are to take the traditionalist da'wah in the West to its conclusion than that would mean that no one is qualified to speak. Given the gates of ijtihad are closed the "scholars of the traditionalist da'wah" are not qualified to speak. If this is the case then how is it that we hear debates against fiqh of minorities a project established by some of the most respected scholars in the Muslim Ummah.
This is an example of incongruity (spekaing without knowledge debating without aim rejecting without understanding) a matter that was indicated to early as the problem with da'wah in the West (confusion, disorder, immaturity) that is that in the West we are very confused about issues of Deen and understanding.
Giving Importance To The European Fiqh Council
Rather than create a body of scholars and platform we have invested in a war of words and rather than following as some argue for taqlid rather we see anarchy instead of authority. The Fiqh Council Of Europe is headed by some of the senior scholars of the Ummah the likes of al-Allamah Abdullah Bin Bayyah (r) but in yet very few people understand what is going on in the council because the English-arabic speakers in our community involved in da'wah are not working to communicate what the Ulema are saying to us in the West. The council was set up to address matters of fiqhi concern that Muslims in the West face. In yet none of the top people in da'wah in the West does much to promote the determinations and fataawa of the council. In addition the council is host to scholars of various backgrounds:
Sufi, Salafi, Islamic Movement and what governs is not partisanship but rather research ( a blow to bigotry I suppose). It is not perfect but it is a start in giving direction to Islamic discourse particularly in matters of fiqh. Like the scholars of Granada the scholars of the council are faced with dealing with issues that traditional fiqh is silent upon and situations that require ijtihad so from such experiences the scholars of the council take their research of matters in the West to scholars in the East and the scholars in the East benefit from understanding the fiqhi issues of Muslims in the West.
The beginning of revival is correction of belief and thought and it means we learn to reach out to the Ulema as a body of scholars rather than cultivating a cult of personalities. And of the fundamentals of revival is to correct our action and part of correction is not to speak about matters of which we have no knowledge.
Putting Our House In Order: We Are In Need Of Reformation Of Thought, Heart And Action
We see so many brothers speak badly about: madhabs, ijtihad, fiqh of minorities, maqasid ash-shariah and delve into aqeeda but in yet they are not educated in these matters. How is it that a lawyer acts as an authority in biology or vice versa, we have a phenomena now of lawyers trying to play the role of Islam scholar. This is what we face a lack of respect for skill and merit and not a democracy of opinion but rather a herd mentality. From the fundamentals of revival is correction of belief and thought and action.
Our problem in not just a crisis of the soul as some say our problem is a crisis of thought and action. This is why we see so many debates about aqeeda and fiqh and "tradition" because we are facing the crisis of the Muslim mind
(See: Crisis in the Muslim Mind by AbdulHamid A. Abu Sulayman www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/AA_cmm/default.htm )
From the fundamentals of Islamic revival is to build on Islamic education and to demand that our education forms us in such a manner that our aqeeda is established on a firm basis and nourished the brotherhood of Islam and unity and that we are intellectually and spiritually capable of dealing with life today. Reformation is not a reformation of Deen but rather one of self revival is revival of those principles of Deen which have fallen into defunct mode in the life of the Muslim Ummah.
And The Denouement: Recap Of The Main Point
Islam addresses not only the soul but also the intellect and the body and all that concerns the life and wellbeing of those three. If we are to see the tradition of the scholars (their intellectual legacy) appreciated in the West and people become more literate in the Quran and Sunnah we need to be in touch with those who appreciate and understand it most and those are the senior scholars of this Ummah. The trend of the scholars today is to follow fiqh councils rather than fatwaas of individual scholars and this should be our practice.
A sign of immaturity and ignorance is to attack that which one does not understand and this is what we see happen in Islamic discourse in the West not to mention bigotry.
"Islamic revival is a process and begins with reforming the our heart and thought and action."
" Say: I believe in Allah then seek to follow a straight path" (Sahih from the hadith of the Forty hadith of Imam al-Muhaddith an-Nawawi (r))

'The irony of those who would have us label all things modern as Dajalic or Shaitanic is that they have flourished in the very system that they demonize, frankly many have benefited from our demonization of the other..' Br. Abil Hussein, you are becoming very predictable in your criticisms. We know who you are talking about. But why don't you let people grow and mature rather than reminding us of outdated and out of centext 12 years old quotes! I haven't opened your chest but i sense a touch of jeleousy. UNITY – lets practice what we preach. May Allah forgive me and guide us all.
JazakAllah khair for this, I hope more and more Muslims take note of this. Know your position and act upon on it.
What is your problem? He can write whatever he likes. He kept with in the adab and brought out points that many feel need to be elaborated on. The traditionalist are become the next Catholic Church: don't ask, don't question, and just listen. I think that Mr. Yusuf's dijalic understanding coupled with A. k. Murad's tirades against anyone in his path are something that we should examine along with the relation between Syed Hussein Nassir, Martin Lings, Eaton and others to the heretic thoughts of Shun and Guneon.
By turning your keyboards to Abu Husseins' person you have failed to address his points. Hopefully you can muster the strenght to do so in the future. Unity! Unity should not be utopian. I'm sure that Abu Hussein has the greatest of respect and love for these people, but Islamically, he has the right to discuss these things. Your reaction, with all resepect, seems a little extreme.
Abu Hussein: I would recommend that you apply 3 components when examining any Movement or idea:
1. Generic: meaning the historical and future developments of such movements.
2. Functional: meaning there is a function to such thoughts within the framework of our world
3. Semantics: meaning there is a climate created by ideas that fosters, in many cases, a culture or sub-culture. Thus, it is very easy to recognize followers of traditional islam or salafis by the way the dress, talk (sidi sidi) and act. Within that community it is easier to recognize the followers of Nuh Keller. They have special clothes (they all have the same beards, hats and shukur shirts). Thus, are we witnessing the birth of the Muslim accult amongst certain Muslim groups?
Mohammad, I hope you are well thanks for your comments and advice.
I take benefit from the Ulema of this Ummah I do not hold the Ulema against a ruler of group think nor do I dismiss an Alim because of an idea or mistake, I love the Ulema. What characterizes my outlook is one thing and one thing only: I see unity of the Muslims as fundamental to Iman and I do not think unity is a matter to be achieved by any means.
If we are willing to learn then let us turn to the Qur'an and the Sunnah and gain a major lesson in Islamic revival from Surah Bayyinah. What we learn is that the nations that came before us divided after the truth (The Truth –def. as The Qur'an, according to Imam Ibn Kathir (r)) was revealed to them.
Sheikh As-Sabooni (r): narrates that some of the scholars of tafsir held that the people of the Book differed over the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) after they came to know the truth of it.
Imam Ibn Kathir (r) emphasized that the people of the Book differed greatly then he mentions the hadith of the 73 sects as proof of their differing and splintering.
If we look to the well known hadith of the 73 sects (which is graded Hasan by some Scholars of Hadith and Sahih Li Gharihi by other Scholars of Hadith ) in light of Surah al-Bayyinah what we learn is that division is a matter that is greatly disliked in Islam and it is a serious issue that we are warned against.
It was related to me by a student of a student of Shaikh Nadwi (r) that Shaikh Nadwi taught we must not to draw conclusions according to appellations —Sufi, Salafi, Ikhwani etc. but rather we must judge according to whether an act or belief is in conformity with the Deen.
There is a principle in Usul al-Fiqh which states that one ought to judge by the meaning of terms and not by the apparent nature of the term. This is why the Ulema say there is to be no debate about terminology rather let us clarify what we mean the content of our thought and then deal with that.
Two principles here are an integral part of the methodology that I follow:
1.} Unity is an integral part of Iman
2.} Do not judge according to terms but rather according to specificities
In light of what of was said the term Sufi or Salafi or otherwise holds little weight in my view. A person who confesses Islam is a Muslim primarily to me and not an Ottoman, Sufi, Salafi etc. between myself and that person is the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His (swt) Prophet (saw) and that of the rightly guided Imams and the scholarship of the verifying scholars.
Mohammad growing and maturing first means taking an account of ourselves and correcting our mistakes. There were serious mistakes made in the da'wah effort in the West and no one party, group etc. can be held responsible if we engage in honest evaluation. We must be clear on five things:
1.} The need for clear accountable, reliable, qualified leadership
2.} The need for a sound well rounded Islamic education that allows us to deal with life problems
3.} The need for community and unity and the adab of differing
4.} The need for clear aims and goals for da'wah in the West
5.} The need to build our identity on Qur'anic terms Allah named us Muslims nothing else there is no hyphenated Muslim is we judge by the Qur'an and the Sunnah
The point of this post was to instigate thought about self reformation as a community and to illustrate that we are all culpable and ought be mature enough to admit our failures and brave enough to build together and least tolerate each other respectfully .This does not exclude advice and constructive criticism we need each other this Ummah is suffering from division and bigotry not to mention a lack of will to interface with each other.
the unity thing reveals itself to be hypocritical. why? the brother's incessant reference to shaikh Hamza's critique of modernity as dajjalic is not true. quit perpetuating this lie. it is out of context completely, he did not demonise the 'west' [sic]. so with everything you write dont mention these things. infact if you truly care about honesty and decency you will recant.
how can you claim to want unity when you are either unwilling or unable to understand the critiques from various people or groups. your total lack of understanding leads you to strange fascinations and constructing imagined ironies which would never have arisen had you been thorough and honest in your analysis.
Asalamu alaykum,
Here we go with the Hamza Yusuf Cult stuff again. Guys, grow up and learn that he is not perfect nor above nashiha.
Malik bin Nabi
I remember certain scholars of the West saying clearly that the computer was the dajal, or was it the T.V? Anyways, some of our brothers are not be sincere here. If that was the case then why did certain scholars recant their "former positions" if they said nothing wrong, then why did they repent from their ways?
I agree with Malik…the cult lives on
Asalamu alaykum,
Please all let's keep it friendly. This is starting to get a little ugly and we may have to block all comments.
Assalamu Alaikum,
Why do we need to get personal all the time? It seems that every time someone makes a critique of anything we feel that this is a personal attack on our character, that is not the case here, the brother has made some interesting points and if you disagree with him pen them but with adab and courtesy. We need to show maturity and calmness when presenting our case and not get heated Insha'Allah.
Disagreements existed since the beginning of time, even some prophets disagreed with each other (Musa and Harun), the sahaba disagreed with each other, it is in our human nature to disagree, it brings out the best in us Insha'Allah.
We need to be transparent and the issues in which are differing upon must be made clear. The matter of conflict management should be studied and implemented, and we need to know and study carefully how to work in unity while we have our differences Insha'Allah.
"We must cooperate in matters wherein we agree and excuse one another in those wherein we disagree." [Imam Rashid Rida]
May Allah give us the ability and sincerity to fulfill the covenant. Ameen!
Asalamu alaykum,
when critiquing someone's position you have to know his position and do it justice. this is being honest. if one is either unable or unwilling to really grasp a position then takes snidy digs at someone it is quite frankly dishonest. in the case of sheikh Hamza, while there are people who love him, myself included, this doesnt necessarily mean that, i cannot disagree with his position, think a particular analysis that he makes maybe missing something, whether he has gone too far or not far enough. many people are disillusioned with what traditionalism has come to mean and these are real problems that need to be explored and discussed. however if someone presents shoddy analysis, sprayed with quotes of luminaries to temper decontextualised unsubstantianted and persistent attacks on people then these must be exposed.
first of all the sheikh hasnt recanted. even if he has is there anything particularly wrong with recanting. do you want a list of famous recanters.
he has said publicly that his approach was perhaps appropriate at that time but after 9/11 with the muslim profile being high and his own in particular it is counter productive to have that approach to dawah.
the only people who are cultish here it seems is the [i hate sheikh hamza because many people love him] fan club. who have nothing substantial to say except jump on the badnwagon of haters.
i love you brother suhaib but you gotta tell ya boy to quit takin shots at hamza…
Asalamu alaykum,
I felt that Abu al-Hussien brought up some interesting points that one could argue or agree with in a decent manner. However, I did, and do not, think he took a shot at Sh. Hamza Yusuf.
Really guys,why don't you just come out and say 'we don't like the sufi's or sufi sympathisers'. This way we know where you stand. You are prepared to go out of your ways to 'prove' the hadra is a bida, eventhough you are knowledgeable enough to know that this is an issue of khilaf. So why bring these things up, heh? Didn't the great Hasan al-banna shahid avoid issues of khilaf. Remember the tarawee advice? So why do you guys go out of your ways to attack asharis when you know it will cause fitna. Have you misssed out those pages on the ikhwani methodology. please be consistent and honest. Imam Suhaib is doing an amazing job and i truly love him. However sometimes i get really agitated when some of you preach unity and cause disunity. Sh. Hamza and imam Zaid have always been honest and open in their approach. Even if it means 'recanting', 'reviewing' and 'maturing' with age and times. This is what i see as honesty and transparency. They may get things wrong,and no doubt they will, but this is life guys!
Look at the like of the great luminary Sh. Nadwi himself (leave aside his student of a student!). In his early days he was with jamat-e-islami in india(ikhwanis of india). The shaykhs early works are very revolutionary (see his biography of shah ismail). However later he left and 'recanted' his positions. He wrote a book against the jamat. He wrote a book about the virtues of the tableeghis. A complete turn around. Everyone loved him though because they saw a sincere man trying to undersand his deen and man struggling to apply his understanding of the religion in very stressful times in india. deja vous!
Asalamu Alikum,
Subhan'Allah, how easily we lose focus of the objective, "Unity". I must admit, we are extremely critical of others for the wrong reasons. I am sure by now everyone knows who Sh. Hamza is, and who he is not. Even if the brother was taking a shot at Sh. Hamza I do not think it takes away from him at all, in fact, I think it reveals more about the person taking the shot then the one it is intended towards.
Anyhow, I think it is important that we get back on point and elaborate more on the methods of "Unity". I agree that unity begins with the reformtion of ones intellect, which in turn would tranform ones actions. Now, the question can be raised that in the "West" such a reformation is in friction with societal norms, and as a result it is very difficult to achieve such results without having a community or support system that nourishes and reinforces this process. So, how could an individual in such a setting achieve this objective without having this type of a support system or community if you will, or is such a system really not necessary?

Asalamu alaykum,
Dear Muhammad: May Allah love the one who loves me for His sake. I think you failed to read the posts on the Hadara well. Here is the quote fom the article:
Asalamu alaykum,
"Before we start, we must mention that this is an issue of ijtihad amongst the scholars. However, it should be noted that the position taken here is that of the majority. At the same time, since there is no Ijm'a on this issue it is not allowed to denounce, degrade nor through insults at those who follow the other opinion. However, we reserve the right to present this position, using the firm language of the majority who opposed it. We hold firm to the fact that, under the lens of this opinion, these things are innovations, but reserve enough love and respect to listen, love and honor those who disagree with our contentions. We challenge the other side to openly summit to such an expanse and present both opinions [on their websites] as we have done below [by posting their article] instead of belittling, falling into character assassinations and the like [accusations of crypto salafism etc]. As al-Shaf'i [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, "Indeed the issues related to ijtihad should not be forbidden with the hand. And it is not allowable for anyone to force his opinion on another. Instead proofs and discussion should take place that present each others side. And if one follows one of the other opinion he should no be censured for doing so." [risalah]. Thus, dear brother/sister although we differ strongly with you, we still have nothing but love, respect and honor for you."
Finally, I think it is highly regreatable that one would question the intention of his/her brother. I would encourage you to engage Abu al-Hussein and try and, with soft gloves, explain your position. In the future, before you type, make sure that you are relating correct information. If not, as is the case below, you could be creating great harm for others by spreading incorrect information.
Now, this my last post here and I hope others will follow Daniels lead and develope this further.
Thank you very much for the correction. I obviously didn't read the whole peice. Please accept my apology if I came across rather harsh and also for not relating the facts correctly. May Alllah swt bless you Imam Suhaib. May He bring our hearts together for his sake only.
Asalamualaikum wa rahmatallah,
There are many aspects of society today that certainly lend them selves to being called 'dajjalic' in the linguistic sense of covering truth with falsehood. But the lesson that Muslims have learned is that in our approach to dawah such terminology is unhelpful. If we intend to live within a society we have to learn to interact with it in a manner that will bring about a positive change. Taking an antogonistic approach rarely brings about positive change in society. Thus the Prophet peace be upon him approached dawah in a gradual manner, as did the Revelation of the Quran, and thus the Shariah.
They say, criticize the sin, not the sinner. This is another way to make our dawah constructive instead of destructive.
Another thing we should ask for is beneficial knowledge, because some knowlege is harmful and brings little or no benefit. In our dawah we should be mindful of the audience and seek Allah's pleasure alone, and try to say the things that will bring the most reward and affect the hearts in a positive way. May Allah guide us to make our dawah more pleasing to Him.
salaam aleukum br. Abul hussein,
ok soft gloves………
the previous article indicates your point about 'interpretive dominance' or the problems you see this having. it also explains your issue with so-called traditionals who have usurped this power. it is useful here because you also premise your points on this.
[it is interesting to see amid this scramble for power and to be more specific, scramble for interpretative power some claim for themselves the keys to excommunication and or declarative power to pronounce anathema[sic] such as untraditional or modernist.]
you ofcourse indict the so-called traditionals and question their authority to pronounce anathema [sic].
my problem is that firstly, you have failed to truly indicate how this process came to be, who are these people, what are their objectives, what do they consider 'anathema' then ask whether their analysis is true or not. the ulema are inheritors of the Prophets and their 'interpretive' power comes from this. if you are of thier 'class' [no pun intended] then you can counter their positions.
your analysis falls down on very basic suppositions….that there is a monolithic enterprise called traditionalism, that there is sort of a traditional industry. this is essentially false. if you do a survey of people who would consider themselves traditional they would overwhelmingly if not all count the shaikhs hamza yusuf, bin bayyah, abdal hakim murad, zaid shakir, sherman jackson, gibril fouad haddad, muhammed al yaqoubi, umar faruq abdallah, nuh ham mim keller, riyadh ul haq, etc among them; their students and their teachers.
what all of them agree on essentially that the madhabs are a good thing, sufism is a good thing, ashari/maturidi is correct. they are classicists. however that is where their unity stops. everybody mentioned has a different approach to dawah, different understanding of what are the causes of the problems we are facing, they offer different emphases on the way forward. therefore to lump them especially the way you have done is not only incorrect, its wrong.
the critique of shiekh abdal hakim murad is simply that wahhabis doctrinal extremisms can lend itself to violent extremisms. if you empower people to have interpretive power in regards to the quran and sunnah without possesing the tools to do so; if you are literalist in your interpretation and dont appreciate nuance you can become extreme. while i dont wholly agree with this. i can see why he says that. my point with br. abul hussein is you would present a hypothesis and with a brief stroke brush certain scholars away….without accurately discussing your hypothesis, giving accurate accounts as well as reasons for your deductions [if we can call them that]
salaam aleykum brother abul-hussen
Assalamu alaikum
To my beloved brothers and sisters
Let me add my 2 cents worth of opinion..
When talking about revival .. we tend dwell too much in usuluddin and neglected about asasuddin.
There will be always differences in matter of aqidah, fiqh and methodology of da'wah until at least the time of Sayyidina Jesus alaihissalam.
But there will always be the same common denominator in asasuddin until qiyamah.
What is foundation of religion? It is love.
Ruhama ubainahum…
What we need now is not more debates, method searching and whatever u might call it..
But we need more love… though it sound simplistic..
But it is the solution of the problem and the starting point of revival..
No matter how high is your knowledge.. intellectual capacity etc.. in the end you still need that love..
I hav been there, done that, ikhwanis, tablighis, traditionalist ..etc.. but in the end love is what drive me.. out of intelectually crises, burnout, darkness or whatever..
Love is iman, taqwa, ukhuwwah, mawaddah, rahmah, qistasulmustakim..
It is the foundation of religion. Without love there can be no religion, no fatwa to be followed, not method will be effective, no usuluddin no revival and no salvation.
What we need now is jama'ah ulfah… wherever we go we form and spread love and ulfah… create more jama'ah ulfah….
It is the language of love that the lowest intellect of human to the most sophisticated mind.. can understand…
I mean , to the simple minded fellahin, illiterate muslims, ghetto dwellers.. do they understand tafwid al-ma'ana, ta'wil, ta'til, wahdatul wujud, imkan kazb etc…
But they understand love, compassion, tender and sincere heart..
Alhamdullilah and masyaALLAH, have learn the knowledge of deen from some of the most knowledgable Ulama in this world.. and most of know the method and actions from Qur'an and sunnah to inculcate love..
Lets realise that revival of this ummah cannot even begin without love.. and lets start with those near to us and then near to us….
And lets love teach us the adab… and eventually unravel the crisis whatever it is..
May I repeat this?
The essence of Islam is brotherhood so love your brother if otherwise how could you claim to believe completely?
iman is love

Searching for Brian De Palma and other lost 70s filmmakers.
Brine your bird with this underwater boner of a thriller.
Well, was anybody shocked? Remember, when I was setting up this series — back with Day 1′s write-up of May — I warned you that the actual holiday's corresponding movie was going to be a predictable choice. Given that John Car…
Scott Malchus celebrates Halloween with John Carpenter's "The Thing" in this week's Basement Songs
Popdose delves into the strange phenomenon of aliens in our midst on TV and the big screen.
Last year I began to reevaluate my life (that happens when you turn 40) and the pursuit of the dream I had as a boy. What was it about those movies that captured my heart? Was it the movies themselves? Was it the people I was with? Was it some thematic element that I associated with? More importantly, could I ever go back to that place again?
Join Kelly Stitzel for the last installment of this month's Halloween-themed Soundtrack Saturday and find out what's in The Fog.
There are only five days until Halloween and the Popdose staff is counting down the 20 most frightening films of all time — and as a bonus, we're giving away a digital copy of The Exorcist.
Welcome back to Revival House, where Jeff Johnson has dimmed the lights, cued the chilling music, and is waiting to take us back to Halloween night, 1978.
Remakes are all the rage in Hollywood these days, and "rage" is the popular filmgoer response to most of them — but as Jeff Johnson points out in his latest Revival House, a remake isn't always a bad thing.

Catechist Formation
The Philosophy of Catechist Formation
The Purpose of Catechist Formation
The Catechist Formation Program
Why should I become a ceritified Catechist?
Catechist Formation: The Philosophy
The Catechist Formation Program was developed to assist the catechist as the one who receives and responds to the call of the Lord to share the light of faith with others. To be effective in this work, the catechist must understand, love, live and proclaim the Christian message with conviction and enthusiasm. The proclamation of this message by the catechist in the context of the parish community is to lead the students to a deepening of faith, a greater participation in worship and a more dedicated Christian service.
Catechist Formation: The Purpose
The formation of the catechist has a three-fold purpose: to provide for the catechist's own spiritual growth; to increase the theological knowledge out of which one catechizes; to expand skills in teaching methods through study and practice.
Since God is the source and enabler of all catechesis, prayer is an integral part of the catechist's formation. (from Catechist Formation Program, Archdiocese of New York).
Catechist Formation: The Program
The Catechist Formation Program is divided into two parts. This first level of formation for a Catechist provides you with opportunities for growth as a person of faith; effective teaching/facilitating skills; and a plan for your ongoing training and developing spiritual life. The second level of formation deepens the training by focusing on essential areas of theological training, such as scripture, the Creed, and morality. The complete list of courses and requirements are available for download.
Why should I become a certified catechist?
The Church, and in her name, every catechist can say with truth: "my teaching is not from myself: it comes from the one who sent me" (John 7,16). (General Directory for Catechesis, 98)
A catechist teaches in the name of the Church; a person who desires to develop skills and confidence in effectively communicating the Church's living tradition with his or her learners.
This first level of formation for a Catechist provides you with opportunities for growth as a person of faith; effective teaching/facilitating skills; and a plan for your ongoing training and developing spiritual life.
The second level of formation deepens your training by focusing on essential areas of theological study, such as scripture, the Creed, and morality.
Certification is a recognition by the Church that an individual has completed our Catechist Formation Program and has been given an opportunity to appropriate the catechetical content and skills necessary to be effective with our young people in a classroom setting.
The goal of catechist formation process is to insure that the Church's tradition is handed on to all children in our schools, parishes and parish catechetical programs and to support catechists in their vital ministry with our children and youth.

Technical Tidbit
This month's technical tidbit is on transmission line pulse, or TLP testing. TLP is an excellent method for characterizing a device's response to a fast ESD pulse. One can produce a current-voltage characteristic for an input or output pin. This can be useful for determining snapback characteristics, and the behavior of a structure in the low-resistance on condition.
This diagram shows the basic elements of a transmission line pulse system. TLP testers use a 50-? coaxial cable to form and transmit the pulse. The length of the cable determines the test pulse's length. Each meter of cable adds approximately 9 ns to the pulse, so to get a 100-ns pulse you need about 10 meters of cable. A low-resistance relay connects the cable to the DUT either through a resistor, as shown here, (which is referred to as the constant-current method) or an attenuator and low-pass filter (which is referred to as the constant-impedance method). To measure the voltage across and the current through the DUT during a TLP pulse, a TLP tester uses an oscilloscope with at least a 500-MHz bandwidth. A voltage probe connects between the device's test pin and ground. A current probe measures the current that enters the DUT.
While many TLP testers use constant-current and constant-impedance methods to calculate current, others use a different technique: time-domain reflectometry. These testers use a delay line and an attenuator following the relay. The tester measures the amplitude of the current pulse entering the delay line, and then it measures the amplitude of the reflection from the DUT. From the difference in amplitude, the tester can calculate the current and voltage in the DUT. The delay line ensures that the reflected signal won't interfere with measurements on the incident signal.
Regardless of which method you use to calculate current, the TLP tester injects current into a MOS device's drain with the gate and source grounded. As the tester increases the pulse amplitude, failures will begin to occur when the end of the pulse reaches the DUT. By that time, the device will have had to withstand all of the pulse's total energy.

It's a shame that this particular location has taken a turn to the worse, there's no merchandise on the shelves, prices has gone up more than 20% and the service plain and simple sucks. I'm not shopping here anymore, rather wait and shop online for my art supplies.
Best One-Stop Art Depot Miami 2010 - Jerry's Artarama
1140 SW 67th Ave.
Miami, FL 33144
As an experienced artist I can asure you that Jerry's is the best store I've seen in the USA. Everything you can imagine you can find it here at the best prices in Miami. I used to shop at other art store like pearls, utrecht and michaels but when I found Jerry's thru the internet and that they have a store in miami that trigered my curiosity to visit the store and so glad I did. The service is great, prices and the availabity to get everything in one place for me is very important. Congrats to all the staff for the great work and to all of my friends artists, this is the place to shop for art supplies.

Forest of Memories
Resources and Information Supporting Eco Burial in North America
Eco Burial - Home Page
What is a Eco Burial?
Eco Burial is a statement of personal values; it is a sustainable and spiritually fulfilling solution for people seeking to leave a legacy of care and respect for our planet.
An Eco Burial Ground, also known as a woodland cemetery, a green-cemetery, memorial nature preserve, or natural burial ground, is a place where the body is returned to nature. Native vegetation (often a memorial tree) is planted over or near the grave in place of a conventional cemetery monument. The resulting Ecospace establishes a living memorial and forms a protected wildlife preserve.
Eco burial promotes the use of biodegradable burial products such as simple wooden caskets, handmade caskets including wicker caskets or burial shrouds. Eco burial offers an environmentally sensitive burial alternative.
Our Purpose
Forest of Memories promotes and supports the development of eco burial across North America.
What is important to YOU?
We need YOUR input and opinions. Please follow the link below to complete the consumer questionnaire on Eco burial.

youve never been this far away before________________________________my head is fucking pounding and the thought of going to school tomorrow makes me extremely sick. i dont know if i really thought there was any point this time, if he was going to care, if anything was going to change. but it didnt. as sldkfjkl;asdjgd. i feel dirty, i need to take a goddamn shower. bill asked leah to come with her to some pond at frank davis so they can 'be alone' and i get to FOLLOW THEM AT A SAFE DISTANCE. teehee :) i should be some kind of,,,badumdumdum PRIVATE EYE. wheeee!! suddenly im in a good moodsomeone i thought was my friend, i found out yesterday isnt.
i spent so much time on your fucking letter and i know im throwing it out tonight. thanks anyway.
im tired of myself...got in a big fight with trevin...it wasnt anyones fault i guess*sighs* whatever.whenever i yawn i feel like im going to throw up. which sucks because im really tired and i cant sleep.asdkjgjkasdhgda fuck
im fucking mad at myself for liking lenny for so long. i know he has his problems; but wtf that doesnt give him an excuse to be such a dicksmack. i reconsidered what i said about his changing, and realized that he never did change, he's always been like this. i can remember him making fun of erin a lot, and i guess i didnt think about what happened to make him suddenly hate her. now that ive started to see a different side of him, i realize he is a complete asshole, and that i cant miss the 'old him' because there was no old him, it was just a fake side of him because all he wants is sex. he is probably the same to people as he used to be to me and others, but eventually he will end up showing another side to them, too. and i dont see how he can call me a slut, hes the one that goes around trying to get in everyones goddamned pants. RAWR!!!!! i think i hate him. maybe when he finds someone that is right for him, a true nice side will come out. but until then, dasjkfjklasdhglash,. bye
i know your with her right now, and i know im not even close to being on your mind. and why should i be; what would it do? only ruin your night. i honestly think i dont mean shit to you anymore, i have destroyed everything. you've been the same forever, and i just realized how i feel. unfortunately, you seem to have found someone new. well i guess now i know how i have made you feel so many times before. except i probably made you feel worse because i was such a goddamn bitch. but maybe it would be easier if you were mean to me. when you do things it makes it all worse, because when your gone, when i realize you really dont care, im just there to occupy you, it makes it hurt more, because i was naive and stupid enough to think it mattered. i hope you know how i feel when you prance happily by me with her, not even acknowledging my presence. im not asking for sympathy, im not trying to complain. that would be completely ridiculous after all i have done to you. how could i ask for you to want me back? who the fuck knows if you still like me. you quoted "you would always love me no matter what" but obviously im beginning to have my doubts, as im sure you did. sometimes i dont even know how i feel about you, but when it comes down to it, its always the same; i love you. but fuck it. it doesnt matter.
the one time i need to talk to someoneand no one is around. i feel like im going out of my goddamned mind, i feel sick constantly, and i cant stop throwing up. i have no one to talk to lately..i guess i shouldnt be complaining..a lot of people have lots of...im not going to call them acquaintences, they're more than that...i guess "friends" but they can't actually >talk< to them. i dont have anything like that, i only have a few friends, all of whom i really talk to. but for the past week or so it seems different in a bad way. i wrote a letter to someone, but at the last minute shoved it in my pocket and walked away. as usual, i fucked up...maybe monday. james niceta just asked me to the dance. akfhkdsf. i wasnt rude and i didnt lie, i simply told him i dont know if im even going to go.because i dont want to...it just seems pointless?last night lenny IMed me, claiming that I, along with Cassie, have plans to break him and Stephanie up. I told him that wasnt true, that I didnt like him anymore and he said something along the lines of, "dont lie. you'll always like me. there's nothing you can do about it." at that point i told him to get it through his goddamned head that i dont fucking like him, and he proceeded to call me a slut. thats how most conversations go between us lately. ive been thinking im actually finally, over him, having liked him since the first day of 8th grade. but then something happened and it got me thinking, and i started feeling..sick, and wondering. how could i POSSIBLY still like someone who makes me feel so awful? i dont even think i like him at all, i just miss how he *used* to be, which is much different than he is now, which is just a complete asshole.steven. not going so great. he claims i am ignorant and submissive,but still likes me? i dont even know if he does, but i think he COULD because he still hugs and talks to me a lot...but i know he likes allison mucho more. i just recently realized my feelings for him, i dont know what they were hidden behind but whatever. im guilty about how ive treated him in the past. ive written some poems for LA, i need to decide which to use. im gonna post them.

New submission from Graham Dumpleton : When using Python 3.1 for Apache/mod_wsgi (3.0c4) on Windows, Apache will crash on startup because Python is forcing the process to exit with: Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0 I first mentioned this on issue6393, but have now created it as a separate issue as appears to be distinct from the issue on MacOS X, athough possibly related. In the Windows case there is actually an encoding, that of 'cp0' where as on MacOS X, the encoding name was empty. The same mod_wsgi code works fine under Python 3.1 on MacOS X. ---------- components: Interpreter Core, Windows messages: 90616 nosy: grahamd severity: normal status: open title: Fatal LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0 on Windows embedded startup. type: crash versions: Python 3.1
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: - Apache is not a Console application, so the Windows GetConsoleCP() function returns zero (and os.device_encoding(1) returns 'cp0'). - pythonw.exe has no console either; but in pythonrun.c, the test (fileno(stdin) < 0) is true, and the standard streams are all set to None. - It is probable that Apache has redefined stdin & co, so the previous test does not work there. As a workaround, I suggest to set the environment variable PYTHONIOENCODING before starting Apache, or before the call to Py_Initialize. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc
Graham Dumpleton added the comment: Yes, Apache remaps stdout and stderr to the Apache error log to still capture anything that errant modules don't log via the Apache error log functions. In mod_wsgi it replaces sys.stdout and sys.stderr with special file like objects that redirect via Apache error logging functions. This though obviously happens after Python first initialises sys.stdout and sys.stderr. What would be an appropriate value to set PYTHONIOENCODING to on Windows as a workaround? ----------
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: On a Western Windows, I suggest PYTHONIOENCODING=cp1252:backslashreplace But PYTHONIOENCODING=mbcs is also OK, except that characters outside the Windows code page will be replaced with '?' ----------
Graham Dumpleton added the comment: The workaround of using: #if defined(WIN32) && PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 _wputenv(L"PYTHONIOENCODING=cp1252:backslashreplace"); #endif Py_Initialize(); gets around the crash on startup. I haven't done sufficient testing to know if this may introduce any other problems given that one is overriding default I/O encoding for whole process. ----------
Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Graham, is the workaround ok for you or do you think this is something Python itself should handle? ---------- nosy: +pitrou
Graham Dumpleton added the comment: Python should be as robust as possible and thus should be fixed, but I am happy with using the workaround so if this is more a question of what priority to mark this, I wouldn't see it as being urgent. ----------
Florent Xicluna added the comment: Patch to prevent crash when PYTHONIOENCODING is invalid: ~ $ PYTHONIOENCODING= ./python Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams LookupError: unknown encoding: Abandon ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +flox versions: +Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15623/issue6501_PY...
Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Well, this might prevent the crash but how does the system behave afterwards? Do the standard streams use utf-8 by default? At the minimum, we should still output a warning on stderr. ----------
Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:
The issue is not Windows specific, so I am changing the title to reflect that. On OSX, for example, I get
$ PYTHONIOENCODING=xyz ./python.exe
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: xyz
Abort trap
I agree that abort() is too drastic for a typo in the environment variable setting, but ignoring it silently is not a good option either. Someone setting PYTHONIOENCODING most likely does it for a reason and giving him or her some sort of default behavior for mistyped encoding is not helpful. (Note that this is how many C libraries treat TZ environment variable setting and this is often very frustrating.)
I think errors in environment variables that can be detected on startup should be treated the same way as the command line typos: a descriptive message on C stderr and exit(1).
Currently different environment variables are treated differently. For example, mistakes in PYTHONHOME and PYTHONIOENCODING cause fatal error while an error in PYTHONSTARTUP is reported but does not terminate python:
$ PYTHONSTARTUP=xyz.py ./python.exe
Python 3.2rc2+ (py3k:88320, Feb 2 2011, 14:07:18)

Daniel Goertzen added the comment:
I run into this problem when I start a Python app as a subprocess from Erlang (open_port() function). The PYTHONIOENCODING fix works when I launch my py app via pythonw.exe, but it does *not* work when I use the cx-freeze version of the app.
I am using the Win32GUI base for cx-freeze which appears to be a thin WinMain() wrapper around Py_Initialize(). I am going to continue investigating the cx-freeze related problems.
I am using Python 3.2 under Windows. The failure is basically silent under Windows (generic MSVC runtime error), so I wasted a lot time figuring out what the problem actually was. Python 2 doesn't seem to have this problem.

Daniel Goertzen added the comment:
It turns out that cx-freeze deliberately sets Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag to ensure that the final executable is really an isolated, standalone executable (ie, it can't be subverted by setting PYTHONPATH.) Therefore the PYTHONIOENCODING work-around does not work in this situation.
I am currently using a cx-freeze work-around from the author to enable the PYTHONIOENCODING work-around. Altogether not that pleasant.
Could Python 3 could just default to some reasonable encoding and keep on chugging?
STINNER Victor added the comment: > Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams > LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0That's a bug in os.device_encoding(): os.device_encoding(sys.stdout.fileno()) should return None if the application has no console (if sys.stdout is not a Windows console stream). Attached device_encoding.patch should fix this issue. (I didn't test the patch yet.) ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21849/device_encod...
STINNER Victor added the comment: > On a Western Windows, I suggest > PYTHONIOENCODING=cp1252:backslashreplaceWhy using this very small charset whereas a web server can use UTF-8? I don't think that using backslashreplace on stdout is a good idea.> But > PYTHONIOENCODING=mbcs > is also OK, except that characters outside the Windows code > page will be replaced with '?'Starting at Python 3.2, you should use mbcs:replace to replace unencodable characters by '?'. The strict error handler is now strict: it raises a UnicodeEncodeError if a character is not encodable to mbcs. Note: mbcs is the ANSI code page. -- Using device_encoding.patch, I suppose that sys.std* streams will use the ANSI code page (mbcs, which is the code page 1252 on a Western Windows setup) in grahamd's usecase (Python program running in Apache). ----------

STINNER Victor added the comment:
@grahamd: Can you try the development version of Python 3.3, or try to patch your version using device_encoding.patch? You will not get cp0 encoding anymore.
If the patch fixes your issue, I will backport it. I don't see anything interesting to do for this issue.
Éric Araujo added the comment: > Currently different environment variables are treated differently. For example, > mistakes in PYTHONHOME and PYTHONIOENCODING cause fatal error while an error in > PYTHONSTARTUP is reported but does not terminate python:If PYTHONSTARTUP is the only envvar with non-fatal errors, I think it's okay. PYTHONHOME contains vital information, PYTHONIOENCODING is set by the programmer/admin and their code probably depends on it, but PYTHONSTARTUP is just niceties for the interactive interpreter, so non-vital IMO. ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3 -Python 3.1

The fix is present in Python 3.3 since Python 3.3.0 according to the changelog. Python 3.2 doesn't accept bugfixes anymore.
Python 2.7 doesn't have the function os.device_encoding(), I don't think that it is affected.
There is nothing more to do, I'm closing the bug. Thanks for the report.

Rory McIlroy will take on fellow Irishman Shane Lowry in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Tiger Woods starts his campaign against compatriot Charles Howell III.
McIlroy - who was beaten in last year's final by Hunter Mahan - has not played competitively since his seasonal debut in Abu Dhabi where, using his new Nike clubs, he missed the cut following successive rounds of 75.
McIlroy's clash with Lowry is one of eight all-European ties in the first round at Dove Mountain in Arizona and there is another all-Irish affair with Ulsterman Graeme McDowell facing Dubliner Padraig Harrington.
Third seed, and 2011 champion, Luke Donald has been handed a first round contest with Germany's Marcel Siem, while Lee Westwood opens against Spaniard Rafael Cabrera-Bello.
The other European ties see Jamie Donaldson tackle Thorbjorn Olesen, Peter Hanson face fellow Scandinavian Thomas Bjorn and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano take on Francesco Molinari.
Renowned match play specialist Ian Poulter, who won the title in 2010, gets underway against Scotland's Stephen Gallacher, while fifth seed Justin Rose will face KJ Choi of Korea.
Defending champion Mahan faces an intriguing opening clash with rising Italian star Matteo Manassero who beat Webb Simpson in the opening round 12 months ago.
Fourth seed Louis Oosthuizen will face Scotland's Richie Ramsay first up, while sixth seeded Adam Scott starts against Tim Clark of South Africa.

ULM child welfare program one of seven statewide to receive grant funds | ULM Forum 1-13-12
6:15 minutes (7.16 MB) Download
The field of Social Work is one that is seeing a renewal. In the early 90's, nearly a third of the field was looking toward retirement. But now, due to better advocacy and the government's investment in college programs, that's changing.
The Social Work Program at the University of Louisiana at Monroe is one of seven programs in the state awarded funding in the Title 4-E Welfare Program, which provides top students with child welfare training, and a job with the state after graduation.
Title IV-E Coordinator Andrea Savage says the program is helpful in developing the next generation of social workers in child welfare.
Currently, the child welfare grant and the La Scholar program award stipends in the amount of $6,500 to six deserving students on a competitive basis.
The grant does more than just help students gain the necessary training to become social workers.
More information about the Title IV-E Grant program at ULM is avaiable from the Office of Public Information here, or about the ULM Social Work program at www.ulm.edu.

Plastic Beach – it's the new compound for the cartoon characters which make up Gorillaz (and what you see on the album cover). According to a press release, it's "made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity. This Plastic Beach is the furthest point from any landmass on Earth; the most deserted spot on the planet."
And that's an absolutely fitting place for this group of misfits to take up residence since Gorillaz make some of the most genre-melting and unique pop music you'll hear. They don't fit in anywhere but on their own unnatural island somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
It's just too bad that the album starts off like its inspiration, and by that I mean a big pile of garbage.
Plastic Beach starts off harmlessly enough with a minute-long and rather unnecessary orchestral intro before segueing into the second track which is basically another intro track, only this time we get to hear Snoop Dogg phoning in some of the laziest rhymes he's done as he welcomes everyone to the fictional island. With track three, "White Flag," we finally get a real song. Unfortunately, it's downright annoying and easily the worst song on the album. It features two British rappers, Bashy and Kano, who sound like two amateur freestylers struggling to come up with something clever to say over a lousy beat.
That's over eight minutes of at best useless and at worst annoying music to start off the record. When you dig a hole that deep, it's damn near impossible to get out. But Damon Albarn finally shows up on track four, and all is well with the world again.
First "Plastic Beach" single released
A couple of days ago, Gorillaz leader Murdoc announced to the world that his cartoon group's new album Plastic Beach was almost finished.
Well, today we got the official release date as well as the first single.
Plastic Beach will be released on March 9th, and the first single called "Stylo" is currently available on the band's YouTube channel HERE.
"Stylo" doesn't hit you over the head with Gorillaz' trademark ingenuity the same way that "Feel Good Inc." did way back in 2005 when it swept the country. Instead it opts to lock into a rock-solid funky disco beat that maintains a chill vibe throughout the song while guest vocalists Bobby Womack and Mos Def do most of the emoting. One thing's for sure though - when it comes to Gorillaz, they rarely have many tracks that sound the same, so even if you can't totally get into this first single, I'm betting there will be something on the new album that will get your hips shaking.
And like usual, the band has recruited more than its share of guests to appear on Plastic Beach. Some of those guests include Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, and De La Soul. Count me as particularly interested to hear the Snoop collaboration.
The full tracklist is after the jump.
