Factors associated with perceived containment
There is growing evidence indicating that a lack of perceived containment, or youth's beliefs about whether adults can control their behavior, is associated with problem behavior. However, little research has examined factors that may contribute to perceived containment, which would be helpful in further tailoring prevention and intervention efforts for problem behavior. The current study evaluated associations between callous‐unemotional (C/U) t…

An opportunity arose in the recent past that should have been thoughtfully utilised in this venture. How and why did the Muslim world squandered that opportunity and what are the consequences?

The Closing of the Muslim Mind
Incendiarism, hooliganism, homicide, and even suicide have become the trademark of Muslim protests in recent times. This has seriously damaged the image of Islam and Muslims, especially in the Western world. This unacceptable behavior has no justification in the primary sources of Islamic shariah and is contrary to the spirit of free thinking that was pioneered by Muslim thinkers of the classical era. The rise of orthodoxy has crippled the health…

The Muslims of Sri Lanka: An Ethnic Minority Trapped in a Political Quagmire
The Muslim community in Sri Lanka has a pre-Islamic origin. Ethnically they are a mixed group, but changing political fortunes throughout the course of Sri Lankan history have made them realize that their identity lies in holding fast to the religion of Islam and not to any ethnic category. The current Sinhala-Tamil ethnic war has once again reinforced the need to hold on to the religious identity even more tightly. However, recent economic and p…
