In fact, I think in general the liberation theology perspective (where God is on the side of the poor and the oppressed) is much more compelling. Dear Gilberto,   Better be careful, we are agreeing again. ;-}   "On more than one occasion, I've seen Bahais make similar arguments by looking at Western economic power or technological success compared to the Muslim world and try to make some kind of implication about Islam."   That's rather funny, because the only time I've seen the Writings argue anything at all along those lines it had to do with how much Western progress was due to the influence of the Islamic world!   But I myself have one word which explains Western hegemony, namely exploitation.   warmest, Susan   __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
