Today in Labor History January 24, 1835: Slaves in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, started a revolt, which helped lead to the end slavery there 50 years later. Muslim slaves and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, launched the rebellion during Ramadan. They were also inspired by the Haitian Revolution (1791−1804) and wore necklaces bearing the image of President Dessalines, who had declared Haitian independence.

Let's Talk Religion: *The Man Who Discovered Mental Health 1,000 Years Too Early*
"Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often seen as a modern invention—but its core ideas were explored over 1,100 years ago by the 9th-century scholar Abu Zayd al-Balkhi.
In this video, we explore al-Balkhi’s groundbreaking writings on mental health, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and the connection between thoughts and behavior—ideas that closely resemble modern psychology and CBT."

"73 % des musulmans estiment qu’un musulman a le droit de rompre avec l’islam, contre 44 % en 1989. Un tel indicateur de libéralisation normative aurait dû structurer la lecture de l’enquête.

L’évolution des trente dernières années montre pourtant une dynamique inverse."
