Analyzing Sohier Khashoggi's novels, this paper examines Arab masculinity from the point of view of an Arab-American female writer. It explores her portrayal from a feminist, religious, traditional, and social perspectives. Using these paradigms to understand her way of representation, this paper illustrates how this Arab-American novelist introduces specific key themes concerning the relationship between husband and wife, father and daughter, brother and sister such as individuality, marriage, marital rape, violence, and honor. A key feature of Khashoggi's texts is the manner in which her fiction highlights the negative representation of the Arab male. Furthermore, this paper draws attention to how the author's fiction, following the stereotypical mainstream, demonstrates the Arab male's supremacy and wickedness by frequently referring to negative traditional practices which Khashoggi introduces as authentic religious laws. It therefore, aims to show how as an Arab-American female writer, who is of a hybrid identity, and whose ideology was passed on either by personal experience or by historical, literary, political, cultural, and mass media discourses, has boldly highlighted in her writings the patriarchal mode of the Arab male by questioning religious and traditional concepts of masculinity. Hence, this paper evaluates Khashoggi's fiction by shedding light on the way the novelist reshapes the readers' minds through depicting the fierceness and viciousness of the Arab male living in a world governed by patriarchal precepts.

High demand for Halal products especially from Islamic countries has put Halal industry as one of the national agenda priorities. In the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (11MP), the halal industry had been given special emphasis by the Prime Minister to ensuring the halal industry is highly and persistently competitive. In Asia, Malaysia has been considered as a leader in the development of the Halal hub center. However, halal industry is not only about halal food production, but also it covers Islamic finance services which prohibit interest (riba), uncertainties (gharar) and gambling (maysir). Islamic financial planning is one of the important parts of Islamic finance because it plays a big role in providing Shariah compliant funds and investment opportunities especially for SMEs halal operators. The holistic approach to halal industry should also cover not only halal food production, but also Islamic financial planning which includes activities such as how to create, increase, purify and to protect wealth from Islamic perspective. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between acceptance of Islamic finance and the application of Islamic financial planning among SMEs halal operators in Peninsular Malaysia. The findings of this study reveal that the acceptance of Islamic finance was significantly correlated with the application of Islamic financial planning among SMEs halal operator. These finding indicated the important of integration between acceptance on the Halal industry with Islamic financial planning activities. SMEs Halal operators should be able to accept the Islamic finance principles. This relationship recognises the importance of acceptance and practice of Islamic financial planning among halal SMEs operators in promoting halal products and services and boost demand for Malaysian halal products at the international level.

A quantitative study based on mediation analysis was conducted for this objective. The research was based on data obtained from 260 manufacturing employees. The study revealed that perceived overqualification had a significant impact on work alienation. Due to the direction of influence, the mediating roles of relative deprivation and mastery experiences in this relationship differ. The findings suggest that employees are affected by perceived overqualification, which is heightened by relative deprivation but buffered by mastery experiences, which allow employees to use skills and abilities they do not use on the work. As far as our knowledge, It is also one of the first research in the field of organizational behavior to investigate the relationship between perceived overqualification and work alienation via the mediation effects of relative deprivation and mastery experiences.

Hume's critiques about it, then evaluate the arguments power and significance. Hume's critiques can be summed up in two main points. 1. About the premise of the argument: The concept of "theological order" is based on an anthropomorphic analogy and this is inappropriate. 2. About the conclusion of the argument: TheArgument doesn't lead us to the God of theistic religions. In the paper, different concepts of order are analyzed and according to this analysis Hume's critiques are discussed widely in the light of R. Swinburne's new formulation of the argument. At the end, in the light of those discussions, I investigate power and significance of the argument

Ideologies are strong and hardly changeable personal views which are lack of factual knowledge and for that aspect they cannot be criticized and questioned by their adherents. Ideologies get their power from enthusiasm not from their suitability to facts to scientific facts. Because of that, ideologies also make harder understanding and grasping universal human values and rights. Ideologies can be seen as prisons of mind. As Cemil Meric –a contemporary Turkish thinkersays, “ideologies are the straitjacket of minds”. Indeed this metaphor is fitting the situation exactly. Ideologies eclipsed the human reasoning. In this paper I will try to analyze and evaluate the epistemological structure of ideologies and try to give reasons of why they are prisons of human mind and modern people.

In this context, it ?looks for answers to the following questions: What makes a text, a theory or a research scien-?tific? How can we demarcate science and scientific from metaphysical thoughts, ideologies, ?pseudo-sciences and conspiracy theories? Those questions are discussed around the views of ?some modern philosophers. In this context, first of all the article deals with logical positivists and induction as their scientific method, Popper and deduction as his scientific method, T. Kuhn and his view of science as puzzle-solving skill, I. Lakatos and his view of science as research programmes. Then the article examines recent views on demarcation problem and evaluates multi criterion views about what makes something scientific. Finally the article seeks to give answer to ?the question what makes something pseudo-scientific.

How can we demarcate science and scientific views from metaphysical thoughts, ideologies, pseudo-sciences and conspiracy theories? What are the distinguishing characteristics of scientific method?

"petito principi"), bir mantık terimidir ve bir mantık yanlışına verilen isimdir. Savı kanıtsamak, bir akıl yürütmede sonucun, kendisini kanıtlamak için ileri sürülen öncüllerde örtük biçimde kabul edilmiş olmasından doğan informal bir mantık hatasıdır.

Söz konusu itiraz ve eleştiriler, dini inançları rasyonel ve bilimsel görmeyen din karşıtı çevrelerden geldiği gibi, dindar düşünürler arasında da yaygın bir biçimde dile getirilmektedir. Öte yandan günümüzde, özellikle İlahiyat Fakültelerinin kürsülerinde "Din Bilimleri" ifadesinden sıkça bahsedildiğini duymaktayız. Bu noktada karşımıza çıkan en önemli felsefi sorun, ağırlıklı olarak değerler ve inanç alanına ait görünen dini konulara bilimsel bir yaklaşımın mümkün olup olamayacağıdır. Zikredilen bağlam çerçevesinde bu makale temelde şu iki soruya cevap aramaktadır: Birincisi: Dini konuları bilimsel bir yöntemle ele almak mümkün müdür? İkincisi: Dini konulara böyle bir yaklaşım gerekli ve istenen bir şey midir?

Two lines of evidence are given to support this argument: one based on the Ash&lhring;ari approach to faith as inferential knowledge (knowledge by ta&sdotu;d&imacr;q ), the other based on their view that knowledge accrues its certainty from conclusive evidence. Further, the paper shows that—because they held that the evidence leading people to faith is sufficient and conclusive—the Ash&lhring;aris believed that there was no need for a volitional ‘leap of faith’. The paper concludes that early Ash&lhring;ari theory of faith depended upon a strong rationalistic view and is completely rationalistic.
