Religious, Ethnic Pluralism in Greater Asia.. Seminar at RIBF

Mohamed Mandour
As part of its cultural program at the 30th edition of the Rabat International Book Fair, the Muslim Council of Elders organized a seminar titled "Religion and the Nations of Greater Asia."
The session was moderated by Dr. Samir Boudinar, Director of the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, and presented by Dr. Fouad Farahawi, Professor at the Faculty of Law, Economics, and Social Sciences at Mohammed I University (MIU) in Oujda.
At the beginning of the seminar, Dr. Samir Boudinar noted that the theme was drawn from a recently published book by the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, titled "Religion and the Nations of Greater Asia: Managing Religious and Ethnic Pluralism in China and India."
The book, a collaborative work by the research team behind the project Peace and the Religious and Ethnic Map of Asia, was overseen by Dr. Fouad Farahawi. It delves into the complexities of religious and ethnic diversity in Asia, with a particular focus on China and India, two of the most populous and culturally diverse nations in the region.
The book also explores the issue of identity, especially in India, as the second most populous country in Asia.
Dr. Fouad Farahawi emphasized that the book highlights Asia as the world's richest and most diverse region for Muslim populations, according to global demographic data.
He pointed out that the region plays a pivotal role in shaping the future global balance of power, especially with the cultural, economic, and strategic rise of both China and India.
He further noted that global peace is closely linked to stability in Asia, as patterns of cooperation and conflict in the region often reverberate across other parts of the world, including Africa, the Arab region, Europe, and the Americas.
He stressed that the reality and future of Muslims in Asia cannot be viewed in isolation from the historical evolution of the other nations, religions, and civilizations in the region. Given the broad ethnic and linguistic diversity of Muslims in Asia, it is only natural to find points of intersection with the ethnic compositions of other religious and philosophical traditions in the region.

Five killed, others injured in new RSF shelling of El Fasher, North Darfur

Amir Hagag The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a new attack on El Fasher. The artillery shelling of a market in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, killed at least five people and injured others. The RSF attacks on markets in El Fasher, which is under severe siege, have led to a significant increase in the prices of essential goods in the city, reducing citizens' ability to purchase. The RSF continues to escalate its long-range artillery attacks, targeting various areas in El Fasher, ignoring UN calls for a week-long humanitarian truce to deliver food and medicine to those trapped inside the city. Local sources reported that five people were killed and others injured as a result of an artillery shell fired by the RSF on the Naivasha market in the Abu Shouk camp for displaced persons. Residents of the camp, located north of El Fasher, are living in dire conditions. Health centers are out of service, medicines are scarce, and food supplies are scarce. The situation has worsened after communal kitchens were shut down, with only one exception. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
