20年前的今天,911事件發生時,你正在做什麼?
對於我們許多人來說,當天的震驚,是一個不容抹滅的記憶。在那之後世界一連串的發展,讓許多的事物被賦予特定的色彩。包括國土安全和恐怖主義等等新的詞彙進入主流。中文翻譯成「聖戰」的伊斯蘭吉哈德 (jihad),成了這一串論述背後的壞人。但任何有回教徒朋友的人應該都知道,穆斯林大部分是非常溫和以及愛好和平的。為什麼有這樣大的反差?而在6到10世紀輝煌的伊斯蘭文化,以及後來發揚光大,橫跨近800年的鄂徒曼帝國,在第一次世界大戰之後又是如何發展?這一些問題都是我在選擇這本書的時候想要得到的答案。
「興亡世界史」這個系列的書籍,之前就看了幾本很棒的,讓我在華人視角的世界史,與西方視角的世界始終史之外,看見一個不一樣的可能。之前一位書友的描述很貼切,說日本人看歷史,很像監視器一樣反應一切,平鋪直敘不帶立場的陳述事情。
從穆罕默德開始創立說起,他說講述的思想與當時阿拉伯社會截然不同。包括獨一真神的信仰,社會的平等,還有賙濟窮人的理念,在當時部落主義盛行,多神信仰,以及富人只管自己的文化當中,幾乎是挑戰權威的一股力量。從那裡開始論述的「吉哈德」,講到的就是內心善與惡的爭戰,還有受到逼迫時自身保護的行為,並沒有什麼侵略或是攻擊他人的含意在內。
這一連串因著堅定意志,和天時地利,與巧合之下,伊斯蘭的世界逐漸擴張在整個阿拉伯地區。到第6世紀開始,更是誕生了輝煌的文化,特別是他們著重翻譯和貿易,更是讓文化交流鼎盛。像是「一千零一夜」故事描述的繁華,還有現在數學基礎的阿拉伯數字和代數 (algebra),以及現代 AI 人工智慧必須由的「演算法」(algorithm) 都是從阿拉伯數學家 al- Khwārizmī 名字衍生的。在當時伊斯蘭文化強調的是對各種宗教信仰的兼容並蓄,社會的平等 (特別是對於窮人,另外伊斯蘭初期,婦女的地位也不低),和整體社會的和平發展。後來因著政治和接班人不明確的因素,什葉派和遜尼派的敵對,讓很多初期的善意開始變質。歷經鄂圖曼帝國百年的傳承後,包括阿富汗,土耳其,和伊朗,都有類似宗教改革的推動。但當時已經是面對20世紀的強大西方世界,因著石油的利益,讓這些改革受到嚴重的干擾。而1948年以色列建國產生的巴勒斯坦問題,更是挑起伊斯蘭世界最敏感的一根神經。
現在我們熟知的一些人物包括賓拉登,以及塔利班,和蓋達等組織,某一段時間之內其實是西方世界所連結的勢力。所以書本最後的一部分是在檢討這些恐怖的攻擊,真的是伊斯蘭世界挑起的戰爭,還是西方世界所埋下的種子?在這裡我就不要破梗了。
雖然這本書許多可蘭經內容,眾多烏瑪和哈里發的翻譯名字,不是那麼容易閱讀。但不要太在乎這些細節,還是可以掌握到一定的輪廓。冤冤相報的循環,到底要怎樣才能結束?我想引用我最欣賞的作 者,同時也是猶太拉比的Jonathan Sacks,在紐約 911 事件10周年紀念所發表的談話來總結:
“Whenever Me takes precedence over We, and pleasure today over viability tomorrow, a society is in trouble. If so, then the enemy is not radical Islam, it is us and our by now unsustainable self-indulgence. The West has expended much energy and courage fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq abroad and defeating terror at home. It has spent far less, if any, in renewing its own morality and the institutions — families, communities, ethical codes, standards in public life — where it is created and sustained. But if I am right, this is the West’s greatest weakness in the eyes of its enemies as well as its friends. The only way to save the world is to begin with ourselves. Our burden after 9/11 is to renew the moral disciplines of freedom. Some say it can’t be done. They are wrong: it can and must. Surely we owe the dead no less."
“當我們看重[我]超過[我們],看重今日的歡樂超過明日的繁榮,那麼社會就會陷入麻煩。這樣說來,我們的敵人並不是激烈的伊斯蘭主義,而是我們自己,和我們寅吃卯糧的個人主義。西方的世界用盡許多精力和勇力在阿富汗和伊拉克爭戰並且在國內防恐,卻幾乎沒有花時間精力在更新自身的道德,和創造並保持這些道德標準之處,包括:家庭,社群,道德共識,和在公開場合的行為標準。如果我想得沒有錯,那麼這就是西方世界敵人和盟友眼中,我們最大的弱點。拯救世界的方式,從檢視自己開始。911事件之後,我們共同的負擔就是要重新定義自由世界中的道德標準。很多人說這是不可能的,但我認為他們錯了,這是可能而且必須的。我們向所有逝去的犧牲者,有這樣的責任”

📗“Destiny Disrupted” 中文版 「中斷的天命」
這是我15年前讀的書,是一位伊朗學者從伊斯蘭世界的角度講述世界史,讓我眼界大開,也開始愛上從不同視角來了解世界史。
📙“Not in God’s s Name” 中文版「毋以神為名」
我2018的top 10 之一,也是我知道惟一一本Jonathan Sacks的中文書。原來宗教戰爭,常常是一種有忌妒衍生出來的兄弟鬩牆? “當宗教將人變為兇手,上帝痛心垂淚”

Having an excellent washer at home is a great blessing. I get a peace of mind when it comes to washing clothes every time at home with LG AIDD™️ Front Load Washer. The one that just arrived at my home is fully capable to take care and protect my clothes up to 18% fabric protection. Thanks to the AI DD™️ feature, the washer can optimise washing patterns depending on laundry type with less fabric damages.
Not just that, the washer gives me more energy efficiency and does less damage to my clothes with its TurboWash™️360˚. The 360˚ washing coverage is super helpful to shorten my usual washing time at #Only39Mins, which means I can save more energy and keep the fabrics safer! Isn't that great?

Blessed is watching my children grow up learning to be responsible for a comfortable home environment 👩👧👦
As a busy mom, I’m so happy I found my life saviour, the LG Global CordZeroTM A9 Kompressor which helps me to save time on housework!
After using it for a few weeks, @Elvischin_ and I came away with the distinct impression that this is easily one of our best home helper 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am in awe with its technologies, like the Power Drive MopTM that really saves me a heap of time and energy by vacuuming and mopping, both at the same time And the new KompressorTM technology that increases bin capacity by compressing dust and dirt. This hugely reduces the number of times I have to empty the vacuum out 👍🏼
The A9 KompressorTM also comes with the 5 Step HEPA Filtration system which captures up to 99.97% of fine dust and prevents the dust from being re-circulated into your home!
I can’t say enough how useful it is for families like ours whose allergies can be triggered by fine dust.
Being lightweight with longer battery life, it is a breeze for me to bring out to @Merryhaus easily for cleaning (and not to mention it comes with an extra second battery.) It pivots around corners and under the furniture so effortlessly, even my little Maesa and Elma find it satisfying to help out and vacuum the house and enjoy how they can easily manoeuvre around the house.
Everyone in the family is loving this handy “helper” that makes household chores fun and easy 🙏🏻

We love steam cooking because it allows us to cook dishes without much effort. If your rice cooker is as big as like ours, you can easily steam the dish at the same time while cooking rice. This method not only will you save energy, but you'll also have lesser pots and pans to wash. We intentionally only used 7 ingredients to cook this steamed chicken recipe so that you can recreate this dish easily. If you want to make it into a balanced dish, you can also add some vegetables, such as carrots, enoki mushrooms, cauliflower or broccoli to the dish. If you are using carrots, cook the chicken and carrots at the same time. If you're using broccoli, enoki mushrooms or cauliflower, add them towards the last 5 minutes of cooking the chicken.
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
Hope you can recreate this yummy recipe in the comfort of your home. Happy cooking!

This video will show you how to make Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box from Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure (2021) along with 7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box) 💖 You can apply this techniques to make other characters as well.
Take time 😊👍
I used WILTON Icing Colors
https://amzn.to/3tSUIZm
---------------------------------
7 Tips to make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box)
#1 Find the image easy to work with: Opened eyes are sometimes difficult to make, so choosing the character with smiling eyes or winked eyes saves time.
#2 Make rough sketch of Bento: detailed ideas are better because you may run out of energy to go easy.
#3 Shop ingredients based on your sketch: if you have detailed ideas with you, you may luckily find better ingredients.
#4 Use vivid colors for the egg crepes. Egg white is easy to break, so you can mix starch and water to prevent it from breaking(1 tsp. starch & 1 tsp. water for 1 egg white).
#5 Start from larger parts, trace them on a parchment paper, and cut out the ingredient with a design knife.
#6 Make sure you don't put eyes on top of ham (face). Face parts must be at the same level or eyes will look like popping out and scary...
#7 Cut Nori seaweed lines as thin as possible. Thick lines look sloppy...
Basic ingredients you need to make Kyaraben:
egg
food coloring
cheese slices
ham slices
Kanikama (fish cake)
Kamaboko (fish cake)
Time you need may depend on the character and your concentration. Please take time to make it. You can make the character a day before and keep it in the fridge.
*You can make rice or noodle dish with a lot of vegetables to save time making side dishes.
