869948 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahiduddin%20Khan | Wahiduddin Khan | Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is an Islamic spiritual scholar who has adopted peace as the mission of his life. Known for his Gandhian views, he considers non-violence as the only method to achieve success.
Internationally recognized for his contributions to world peace, he has received, among others, the Demiurgus Peace International Award, the Padma Bhushan, the Rajiv Gandhi National Sadbhavna Award and the National Citizen's Award. A recent book, The 500 Most Influential Muslims of 2009 by Georgetown University, Washington DC, has named him “Islam’s Spiritual Ambassador to the world.” His approach, the book points out, is “popular among Indians, both Muslim and non-Muslim.”
Born in Azamgarh in 1925, the Maulana was educated in a traditional seminary. From his early years, he showed a voracious appetite for modern knowledge, spending entire days in the library. As a result he became well versed in both classical Islamic learning and modern disciplines. His extensive research led him to conclude that the need of the hour was to present Islamic teachings in the style and language of the post-scientific era.

He belongs to the Tablighi Jamaat group and his lectures focus on the subject of self-purification, avoidance of violence, observance of Allah’s orders and pursuing the way of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
After completing pre-medical studies, Maulana Tariq was admitted to the King Edward Medical College in Lahore. It was there—under the influence of members of the Tablighi Jamaat—that his focus changed to Islamic Education. His Islamic training is from Jamia Arabia, where he studied Qur’an, Hadith, Sufism, logic, and Islamic jurisprudence. Maulana Tariq’s background in the sciences allows him to explain Islamic matters in a way that appeals to modern urban Muslims. Additionally, his simple lifestyle and eloquence in Urdu, as well as his fluency in Arabic, catapulted his fame across the Muslim world.

Besides his melodious and emotional voice, he has managed to grab the attention of the bigwigs in the field of Islamic knowledge such as Sheikh Ibrahim Ali Shehata Al-Samanodi, the Sheikh Abdur Area Radwan, and also the great sheikh Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Zaiat.The next step was his decision to pursue his higher education at the Islamic and Quranic university of Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
The two famous links of the recitation of the Quran: TV Alafasy and Alafasy Q are managed by this great Imam and rightfully so. In a similar manner, numerous TV channels and radio stations have taken pride in broadcasting all his highly commendable productions.
Currently, Mishary Rashid Alafasy is leading the prayers as an Imam at Masjid Al-Kabir in Kuwait.

Background
The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site, the former location of the Twin Towers that were destroyed during the September 11 attacks.
A memorial was planned shortly after the attacks for the victims and those involved in rescue and recovery operations. The winner of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was Israeli-American architect Michael Arad. The memorial has swamp white oak trees with two square reflecting pools in the center marking where the Twin Towers stood.
The reflecting pool of the memorial has the names of the victims who died during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, United Airlines Flight 93, American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77, United Airlines Flight 175, collision of The Pentagon and the collapse of the World Trade Centers.
Tickets to the museum are $24, a price which has raised concerns and has been controversial.
The dead bodies of over 1,000 victims who could not be identified have been placed 70ft below the memorial in 2014.

870089 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety%20in%20numbers | Safety in numbers | Individuals that are part of a larger group are less likely to be the victim of an accident, attack, or other bad event. This idea is called safety in numbers. Related theories show that mass behaviour can reduce accident risks. In the case of traffic safety, the effect really reduces the danger, rather than simply distributing it over a larger group.
In biology
The mathematical biologist W.D. Hamilton proposed his selfish herd theory in 1971. This theory tries to explain why animals seek central positions in a group: each individual can reduce its own danger by putting itself in a position with neighbours all around. So it moves towards the centre of the group. The effect was tested in brown fur seal predation by great white sharks. Decoy seals were used, and the distance between them was varied to produce different levels of danger. The seals in greater danger had (as predicted) an increased risk of shark attack. Antipredator adaptations include behaviour such as the flocking of birds, herding of sheep, and schooling of fish. Similarly, before jumping into the water, Adelie penguins wait until their group is large enough: this reduces the risk of seal predation for each penguin in the group.
The same result can be seen when predators face a large number of prey animals: the chance of each prey animal surviving is greater.
In road traffic safety
In 1949 R. J. Smeed reported that per capita road death rates tended to be lower in countries where more people owned a motor vehicle. This observation led to Smeed's Law.
In 2003 P. L. Jacobsen compared rates of walking and cycling, in different countries. Jacobsen looked at the rates of collisions between motorists and cyclists or walkers. He found an inverse relationship. He used a concept called 'behavioural adaptation' to explain this. The concept says that drivers who are exposed to more cyclists on the road begin to drive more safely around them. Though an attractive concept for cycling advocates, it has not been empirically validated. Other combined modelling and empirical evidence suggests that while changes in driver behaviour might still be one way that collision risk per cyclist declines with greater numbers, the effect can be easily produced through simple spatial processes similar to the biological herding processes described above.
Without consideringthe other two hypotheses, Jacobsen concluded that "A motorist is less likely to collide with a person walking and bicycling if more people walk or bicycle." He described this theory as "safety in numbers."
Safety in numbers is also used to describe the following evidence: The number of pedestrians or cyclists correlates inversely with the risk of a motorist colliding with a pedestrian or cyclist. This non-linear relationship was first shown at intersections. Ecologic data from cities in California and Denmark, and European countries, as well as time-series data for the United Kingdom and the Netherlands confirmed it. The number of pedestrians or bicyclists injured increases at a slower rate than would be expected based on their numbers. That is, more people walk or cycle where the risk to the individual pedestrian or bicyclist is lower. A 2002 study looked at the question whether pedestrian risk decreased with pedestrian flow. The study used 1983-86 data from signalized intersections in a town in Canada. It found that in some cases pedestrian flow increased where the risk per pedestrian decreased.
After cycling was promoted in Finland, there was a 75% drop in cyclists deaths and the number of trips increased by 72%.
Between 2000 and 2008, serious bicycle injuries in England declined by 12%. Over the same period, the number of bicycle trips made in London doubled. Motor vehicle traffic decreased by 16%, bicycle use increased by 28% and cyclist injuries had decreased by 20% in the first year of operation of the London Congestion Charge.
In January 2008, the number of cyclists in London that had been treated in hospitals for serious injuries had increased by 100% in six years. Over the same time, they report, the number of cyclists had increased by 84%. In York, comparing the periods 1991-93 and 1996–98, the number of bicyclists killed and seriously injured fell by 59%. The percentaghe of trips made by bicycle rose from 15% to 18%.
In Germany, between 1975 and 2001, the total number of bicycle trips made in Berlin increased four-fold. Between 1990 and 2007, the percentage of trips made by bicycle increased from 5% to 10%. Between 1992 and 2006, the number of serious bicycle injuries fell by 38%. In Germany as a whole, between 1975 and 1998, cyclist fatalities fell by 66% and the percent of trips made by bicycle rose from 8% to 12%.
In America, during the period 1999-2007, the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured decreased by 29% and the amount of cycling in New York city increased by 98%.
In Portland, Oregon, between 1990 and 2000, the percentage of workers who commuted to work by bicycle rose from 1.1% to 1.8%. By 2008, the proportion has risen to 6.0%; while the number of workers increased by only 36% between 1990 and 2008, the number of workers commuting by bicycle increased 608%. Between 1992 and 2008, the number of bicyclists crossing four bridges into downtown was measured to have increased 369% between 1992 and 2008. During that same period, the number of reported crashes increased by only 14%.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, between 1995 and 2006, the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured fell by 60%. During the same period, cycling increased by 44% and the percent of people cycling to work increased from 31% to 36%.
In the Netherlands, between 1980 and 2005, and cyclist fatalities decreased by 58% and cycling increased by 45%.
During 7 years of the 1980s, admissions to hospital of cyclists declined by 5% and cycling in Western Australia increased by 82%.

Reception
Tak: Mojo Mistake recieved generally good reviews, but these reviews were better than it's companion, Tak and the Guardians of Gross. IGN says:
"Traditionally a 3D platformer, Tak: Mojo Mistake makes the transition to two dimensions remarkably well. The controls are tight and don't rely on the touch-screen too much while still providing a decent amount of gameplay variety and the new perspective allows for some amusing visual designs as well. Environment repetition becomes a problem later on, but the brief length of the typical quest is perfectly suited for the short play sessions Nintendo's handheld is known for. In the end, Tak: Mojo Mistake may not be the next New Super Mario Bros. but it does provide a few hours of old-school 2D platforming entertainment for gamers of all ages."
Trivia
This is the first game in the series to include both Television Characters and Game Characters in the same universe.
It will also be the only time that some characters from the Video Games would appear.
It also has the village spelled as Pupanunu, and the Television Series has it spelled Pupununu
Mojo Mistake was releases on the same day as Tak and the Guardians of Gross, which was released only on the PlayStation 2 and Wii.
Due to this, they both could be called Tak 4.
Mojo Mistake is the only game to be released on one console, and is the only time a handheld version had a completely different storyline.
Many graphics and assests from the game are reused from the Nintendo DS version of Tak: The Great Juju Challenge.
Tak also uses his Thwark, and can upgrade to the Dream Shaker and his staff from the T.V series.
In the very beginning, Jibolba tells Tak to not go quickly run off, or he will accidently turn the village into Sheep. This is a reference to the first game, where Tlaloc turned the village into sheep.
The Hackies could have been inspired by Pins and Needles, for they were all created by juju magic and have the appearance of voodoo dolls.

870097 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surah%20Al-Imran | Surah Al-Imran | Al-Imran ( Arabic : آل عمران) is the third surah of the Muslim religious book, the Qur'an , with 200 verses and 20 ruku's. Surah Al-Imran has been revealed in Medina.
Name
Verses 33 to 35 of this Surah speak of "Ali-Imran" or "Descendants of Imran". Its name has been considered as a sign. (The correct pronunciation of the name of this surah is 'Ali Imran'). Imran is the grandfather of Isa (AS).
Time and content of the revelation
The first sermon starts from the first of the sura and continues till verse 32 and it was probably revealed near the battle of Badr.
The second speech starts from verse 33 and ends in verse 63 (up to the end of the 6th verse). It was revealed in the 9th Hijri when the Najran delegation arrived.
The third speech is from the beginning of the seventh ruku to the end of the twelfth ruku. It was revealed with the first speech.
The fourth discourse continues from the thirteenth ruku 'to the end of the surah. It was revealed after the battle of Ohod.
Reason for the revelation
The historical background of the surah is:
One: The trials, dangers and crises that the believers of this true religion were warned about earlier in Surah Al-Baqarah took place in full force. Although the believers won the battle of Badr, this battle was like throwing a wheel at Bhimrul. This first armed conflict suddenly shook all the Arab powers that were hostile to this new movement. Signs of a storm were appearing everywhere. There was a constant state of fear and unrest among the Muslims. It seemed, This small settlement of Medina, which has been attacked all over the world, will be wiped off the face of the earth. This situation had a very negative effect on the economic condition of Medina. Medina was a small mooseball town. The settlement was no more than a few show houses. The sudden arrival of a large number of emigrants there. As a result, the economic balance was lost. He was again in danger due to this state of war.
Two: The treaty that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made with the Jewish tribes around Medina did not show the slightest respect for that treaty. During the Battle of Badr, all the sympathies of the People of the Book were with the idolatrous polytheists instead of the Muslims who believed in Tawheed and Prophethood and the Book and the Hereafter. After the Battle of Badr, they openly incited the Quraish and other Arab tribes against the Muslims to take revenge. In particular, the chief of the Bani Nadir, Ka'b ibn Ashraf, reduced his opposition to this to the level of blind rivalry. They did not care about the friendship and neighborly relations that these Jews had had with the people of Medina for hundreds of years. Finally, when their misdeeds and breaches of the covenant exceeded the limits, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the most numerous of these Jewish tribes a few months after the Battle of Badr. The wicked 'Bani Kainuka' attacked the tribe and drove them out of the suburbs of Medina. But this only intensified the violence of other Jewish tribes. They conspired with the hypocritical Muslims of Medina and the polytheistic tribes of Hijaz and created innumerable dangers for Islam and Muslims on all sides. Even when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was attacked for his life, this fear was present all the time. At that time the Companions were always armed. Night guards were kept for fear of night raids. If the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had been hidden from view for even a short time, the Companions would have gone out to look for him. By conspiring with the tribes, it created innumerable dangers on all sides for Islam and Muslims. Even when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was attacked for his life, this fear was present all the time. At that time the Companions were always armed. Night guards were kept for fear of night raids. If the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had been hidden from view for even a short time, the Companions would have gone out to look for him. By conspiring with the tribes, it created innumerable dangers on all sides for Islam and Muslims. Even when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was attacked for his life, this fear was present all the time. At that time the Companions were always armed. Night guards were kept for fear of night raids. If the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had been hidden from view for even a short time, the Companions would have gone out to look for him.
Three: After the defeat of Badr, the fire of revenge was burning in the minds of the Quraish, and the Jews sprinkled kerosene on him. As a result, a year later, a group of three thousand well-equipped soldiers from Medina attacked Medina. This battle took place at the foot of Mount Ohud. That is why it is known as the Battle of Ohod. One thousand people left Madinah with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to take part in this battle. But on the way, three hundred hypocrites suddenly separated and returned to Medina. Among the seven hundred who remained with the Prophet was a small group of hypocrites. During the war, they made every possible effort to create strife among the Muslims. This is the first time that such a large number of sleeve snakes are hidden in the homes of Muslims and they have joined hands with outside enemies to harm their brothers and friends and relatives.
Four: The defeat of the Muslims in the battle of Uhud was a big part of the strategy of the hypocrites, but the Muslims themselves were no less a part of their weakness. It was only natural that the party, which had just been formed on the basis of a particular ideology and moral system, whose moral training had not yet been completed and whose only second chance to fight for its own beliefs and policies, should show some weakness. Therefore, it was necessary to comment in detail on all these incidents after the war and to point out the weaknesses of the Muslims in the eyes of Islam and to point out the corrections. In this context, it is useful to keep in mind that the Qur'an's commentary on this war is different from what other generals comment on it after their own war!
Verses: 1: - Alif Lam Meem. 2: - There is no god but Allah, He is the Ever-Living, the Possessor of all things. 3: He has sent down to you the Book with the truth; Which confirms the previous books. 4: - The Torah and the Gospel have been sent down before this Book for the guidance of mankind, and the Revelation has been sent down. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah - for them is a severe punishment. And Allah is Mighty, Avenger. 5: Nothing in the heavens and the earth is hidden from Allah. 6: He is the God who shapes you in the womb as He wills. There is no god but He. He is the Almighty, the Wise. 6: He is the One who sent down the Book to you. There are some clear verses in it, they are the real part of the book. And the others are metaphorical. So those who have crookedness in their hearts, They follow the metaphors in them for the purpose of spreading sedition and misinterpretation. And no one knows their interpretation except Allah. And those who are deep in knowledge say: We believe in it. All this is a revelation from our Lord. And no one receives education except those who are endowed with understanding. 6: Our Lord! Thou wilt not lead our hearts astray after Our guidance, and bestow on us grace from Thee. You are the giver of everything. 9: Our Lord! You will surely bring people together one day - there is no doubt about it. GOD does not fulfill His promise. 10: Those who disbelieve, their wealth and their children will not avail them aught against Allah. And they are the fuel of Hell. 11: The people of Pharaoh and those before them denied My revelations. As a result, GOD seized them for their sins, and GOD's retribution was severe. 12: Tell the disbelievers that you will soon be defeated and driven to Hell. What a miserable position. 13: Surely there was a sign for you between the two parties. A party fights in the way of Allah. And the other party was the disbelievers, who saw them with their own eyes. And whom Allah strengthens with His help. In the meantime, there are lessons for those who have vision. 14: - Mankind has been fascinated by women, children, zodiac gold and silver, marked horses, cattle and farms. All these are the consumables of worldly life. The best refuge is with God. 15: - Say, Shall I tell you to seek better than this? For those who guard (against evil), with Allah is Paradise, beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. And pure companions, and the pleasure of Allah. And Allah is ever watchful over His servants.

870098 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surah%20An-Nisa | Surah An-Nisa | Surah An-Nisa ( Arabic: سورة النساء, Sūratu an-Nisā, meaning "female") is the fourth surah of the Muslim religious book, the Qur'an , with 16 verses and 24 ruku's. Surah An-Nisa has been revealed in Medina . This surah talks about how Muslims should lead their lives and stay united.
Time and content of the revelation
This Surah is the sum of several speeches. Probably from the end of the third Hijri to the end of the fourth Hijri or from the beginning of the fifth Hijri, different parts of it were revealed at different times. Although it is not possible to say exactly from which verse to which verse a revelation was included in a speech and what was the time of its revelation, some provisions and events have been pointed out somewhere to help us know the date of their revelation from tradition. . So with the help of these we can point out a general limit of these speeches containing these provisions and hints.
As we know, the provisions regarding the distribution of inheritance and the rights of orphans were revealed after the battle of Uhud. Then seventy Muslims were martyred. As a result of this incident, the question arose as to how the inheritance of the martyrs would be distributed in different houses of the small settlements of Medina and how the interests of the orphans they had left would be preserved. On the basis of this, we can assume that the first four verses, and the first three verses of the fifth verse will have been revealed at this time.
We find in the hadith the tradition of reciting the prayer of fear (praying while fighting) in the battle of Jatur Rika. This battle took place in the fourth Hijri. So it can be inferred here that the speech (15 Ruku) in which the rules of prayer have been explained will have been revealed in the near future.
Bani Nadir was expelled from Medina in the month of Rabiul Awwal of the fourth Hijri. Therefore, the last warning given to the Jews in this speech, "Believe me before I disfigure your face," can be presumed to have been revealed at a very near time.
Tayammum was allowed due to lack of water during the battle of Banil Mustaliq. And this battle took place in the fifth Hijri. Therefore, it should be remembered that the speech in which (7th Ruku) mentioned Tayammum was revealed at that time.

870099 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surah%20Al-Ma%27idah | Surah Al-Ma'idah | Surah Al-Maidah (Arabic: سورة المائدة) is the 5th surah of the Muslim religious book, the Qur'an , which has 120 verses and 18 ruku's. The Surah was revealed in Medina.
Name
It is named after the word 'Maidah' mentioned in a verse of 15 Ruku of this Surah. The word mayidah means 'dining table' or 'a table in which food is served'. Like most of the surahs in the Qur'an, the name of this surah has nothing to do with its subject matter. It has been called by this name merely to distinguish it from other Surahs.
Time of revelation
This Surah was revealed at the end of 6 AH or at the beginning of 6 AH after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah . This is clear from the subject matter of the Surah and the various narrations of the Hadith also prove its authenticity. The event of the month of Zilqad in the sixth Hijri. Fourteen, with Muslims the Prophet Muhammad Umrah to perform there has arisen. But the Quraish disbelievers, out of enmity, completely opposed the oldest religious tradition in Arabia and did not allow him to perform Umrah . After much debate and debate, they agreed that next year you can come to visit the house of God. At this time, on the one hand, the Muslims had a KaabaIt was necessary to explain the rules of pilgrimage for the purpose of pilgrimage, so that the Umrah could be performed with full Islamic dignity next year, and on the other hand, it was necessary to urge them to respond to the excesses of the infidel enemies by not allowing them to perform Umrah. Let them take the lead, so that they may not again oppress the disbelievers. Because Hajj to many disbelieving tribesThe tour had to go through Muslim-dominated areas. In the same way that the Muslims were not allowed to visit the Ka'bah, they could have forcibly blocked the way of visiting the Ka'bah of these disbelieving tribes. This is the context in which the introductory speech at the beginning of this Surah is discussed. This issue has been raised again in the front thirteen ruku's. This proves that the same speech continues from the first ruku to the fourteenth ruku. In addition, all the other contents we find in this Surah seem to be of the same period
The continuity of the narration suggests that this entire surah is included in a single discourse and that it was probably revealed at the same time. Again, some of its verses may have been revealed later separately and due to the unity of content, they have been included in different places of this Surah. But nowhere in the continuity of narration is the slightest emptiness felt. As a result, there is no time to think of it as the sum of two or three speeches.

870100 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surah%20Al-An%27am | Surah Al-An'am | Surah Al-An'am (Arabic: سورة الأنعام, "meaning the animal") Muslim religious texts of the Qur'an 6 Number of Surat , the number of verses 165 and the number of rukura. This Surah was revealed in Makkah . This Surah Allah's Oneness, punarutthana, Heaven and Hell have been discussed.
Name
In this Surah, in the 16th and 18th Ruku, the imaginary and superstitious idea of the Arabs regarding the prohibition of some An'am (domesticated animals) and the halal of some of them has been refuted. In this context, this Surah has been named Al An'am.
Time of revelation
According to Ibn 'Abbas, this entire Surah was revealed in Makkah at the same time. Hazrat Asma bint Yazid , the cousin of Hazrat Muaz Ibn Jabal , said that this Surah was revealed while the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was riding on a camel. Then I was holding the reins of her camel. Under the weight of the burden, the camel's condition had reached such a level that it seemed as if this understanding would break her bones. It is also clearly stated in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recorded this Surah on the night it was revealed.
If we think about its subject matter, it is clear that this Surah would have been revealed towards the end of the Meccan period. The narration of Hazrat Asma bint Yazid also proves this to be true. Because he belonged to the Ansar. After the migration he converted to Islam. If he had attended the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Makkah out of sheer devotion before accepting Islam, he would surely have been in the last year of his stay in Makkah. Earlier, his relationship with the people of Yasreb was not so close that one of their women could come to his service.

Therefore, in order to understand its historical background, it is enough to take a look at the introduction written at the beginning of Surah An-Nam.

870114 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Last%20Girl%20%28memoir%29 | The Last Girl (memoir) | The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State is a autobiographical book by Nadia Murad in which she tells how she was captured and enslaved by the Islamic State during the Second Iraqi Civil War. Murad won the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize for this book.
Synopsis
In the first part of the book, Murad writes about growing up in the Yazidi village of Kocho, Sinjar District. She lived there with her mother, two older sisters and eight older brothers. Murad writes about several disputes with nearby Sunni villages and terrorist attacks that she remembered. She then talks about the August 2014 occupation of Kocho by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. During the occupation, ISIS people killed many people in Kocho in a massacre. Some of the people of Kocho ran away to the Sinjar Mountains, and the rest were kidnapped by ISIS. The ISIS agents told the men still in Kocho that they had to change religions. The men of Kocho said no, and the ISIS agents killed them. Young women were kidnapped as sexual slaves. Murad criticized Peshmerga troops for running away from Kocho one day before the massacre.
In the second part of the book, Murad tells the readers about what happened to her during the Second Iraqi Civil War. ISIS agents took her and other women to an place in Solagh. She was then taken to Mosul, which had been captured by ISIS in June 2014. Yazidi women who weren't enslaved were attacked by anyone who wanted to hurt them. A high-ranking militant wanted to buy Murad, but she convinced a skinnier judge to buy her instead. When Murad was in Al-Hamdaniya District, she tried attempted to escape through a window. The guards who caught her raped her and sent her away to an ISIS checkpoint. She was imprisoned there and raped by people passing. Then she was bought by someone in Mosul again. There, she successfully and easily escaped that man, who had left the front door unlocked. She said that was miraculous.
In the third part of the book, Murad talks about how she escaped from ISIS-held territory. First, she walked around Mosul for almost two hours. Then she saw a family and asked them for help. They agreed to help her run away. Murad used fake identities to escaped with the family's younger son. The family sent him away with Murad so he would not join ISIS. Murad and the sun entered Iraqi Kurdistan, but they kept their fake identities so that no one would use Murad's status as a former slave for political reasons. Murad found she could not leave Sulaymaniyah, so she Murad decided to tell her story to the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. The PUK gave the interview to the media, even though they had said they wouldn't. This meant that the family who had helped Murad in Mosul were in danger. Murad found some people from her family, and she waited to learn about the rest. Her mother had been killed in Solagh, and Nadia's niece Kathrine, who had tried to escape six times, had been killed in the same explosion blast that injured Lamiya Aji Bashar. Six of Murad's brothers had been killed, and one of her nephews had become an ISIS soldier.
Release
Murad's attorney is Amal Clooney, a Lebanese-British barrister. Clooney wrote the foreword to The Last Girl.
The Last Girl was released for sale in the UK, Germany and Netherlands at the same time: on October 31, 2017. Rights to print the book were sold in twenty other territories. According to the Associated Press, Murad noted in a statement "that she had lost numerous friends and family members to ISIS and hoped her story would 'influence world leaders to act. The book was released right after the October 2017 Iraqi–Kurdish conflict.
Critical reception
Writing for The Washington Post, Alia Malek said that Murad "writes with understandable anger but also with love, flashes of humor and dignity". Ian Birrell wrote for The Times that Jenna Krajeski, the American journalist who wrote the book with Murad, "captures Murad's tremulous voice well".
Anna Della Subin of The New York Times said the book was good to read because people could learn about Yazidi religious beliefs. Ashutosh Bhardwaj wrote for the Indian newspaper The Financial Express that Murad's book "vividly details the customs and life of Yazidism" and that she "cites instances how the Yazidi stories were misinterpreted by the Sunnis who termed them 'devil worshippers.
Critics focused on the fact that the Iraq conflict was still happening when the book was published. Subin wrote that the book is "difficult to process", that it has "open wounds and painful lessons", and that almost anyone with almost any political ideas could pretend that Murad agreed with them. Subin also wrote that "it places Murad's tragedy in the larger narrative of Iraqi history and American intervention". According to Subin, the book is "intricate in historical context". Murad wrote it that way to avoid sensationalism and Islamophobia. Malek had "[no] doubt [that] controlling her story was part of [Murad's] motivation to tell it in this book". However, Malek also said that Murad harshly criticized Sunni Arabs for not standing up to ISIS even though some of them did. Murad called them exceptions.
The Evening Standard Arifa Akbar wrote that the book "initially defers its shock", being "a history lesson" about the time ISIL killed many Yazidis and about her family's life. Akbar said that later parts of the book "deliver true horror, and a surreal sense of Murad's parallel existence as a sex slave in a city filled with ordinary Sunni Muslim families". Malek wrote: "She takes the time to introduce Kocho and its people before the arrival of the Islamic State. [...] So when the Islamic State strikes, we know that these are real people — and we know that the stakes are high and the devastation is visceral." Bhardwaj wrote that something Murad's said, that the rest of the world is more interested in the sexual abuse aspect of the genocide than in the rest of it, was "[perhaps] her most damning comment" and that "[her] account [reflects] the collective guilt of civilisation".
Malek ended her review with: "Nonetheless, Murad gives us a window on the atrocities that destroyed her family and nearly wiped out her vulnerable community. This is a courageous memoir that serves as an important step toward holding to account those who committed horrific crimes." Birrell wrote that the last part of the book was "slightly rushed". He finished his review with: "It is not always easy to turn the pages as Murad descends into hell. But this is an important book by a brave woman, fresh testament to humankind’s potential for chilling and inexplicable evil. Perhaps the ultimate tragedy is that this joins a packed library of similar tomes from the past."

870119 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-wave%20feminism | First-wave feminism | First-wave feminism was a time of feminist activity and thought in the Western world. It happened during the 19th and early 20th century. It focused on laws about women, mainly giving women the right to vote. Later waves of feminism would focus on things like economic equality and social equality.
Journalist Martha Lear was the first to call it first-wave feminism. She did this in an article she wrote for New York Times Magazine in March 1968. It was called "The Second Feminist Wave: What do these women want?" First-wave feminism focused on women's power under law. Second-wave feminism was about economic and social power, for example, equal pay for equal work.
In her book The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir wrote that the first woman to "take up her pen in defense of her sex" was Christine de Pizan. Christine de Pizan wrote in the 15th century. Feminists Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and Modesta di Pozzo di Forzi worked in the 16th century. Marie le Jars de Gournay, Anne Bradstreet and François Poullain de la Barre's Equality of sexes came out in 1673.
