Sakina Ka'aba

News

Islamic editors in Wikipedia have censored the Sakina entry we originally authored, removing half its content - to be explicit the whole section relating sakina as peace to takiya as faking the peace. The entire Sakina entry has also been subsumed as Islamic, under the Wiki Project Islam, when it has a wider cultural significance, also encompassing the sacred feminine and Jewish mysticism.

Please gro.aidemikiw|q-ne-ofni#aidepikiW liam-e and help liberate this editorial misuse, contrary to the pursuit of knowledge.

Compare the original with the censored version:

It is essential to protect Wikipedia against vested establishment interests misusing the editorial collective socially to make it an instrument of canonical doctrine.

Introduction

The Sakina Ka'aba (Kaaba) is an emergent evolving sacred space, recreating the religious and sexual freedom of the original Ka'aba of Mecca, which everyone can contribute to and enrich. It is a site for all peoples, both religious and non-religious, including Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, lovers of the sacred feminine in all her forms, nature shamans and pantheists, agnostics and athiests alike, provided each can accept a relationship of ecosystemic coexistence, and interdependence, in which no path, or belief, is allowed to dominate over the evolving nature of personal experience, or the natural diversity of the living planet.

It's purpose and presence is to regain the spirit of religious diversity and respect for the sacred feminine, which was lost when Muhammad cursed al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat, beloved in the environs of Mecca, in the Satanic Verses, leading to jihad and the genocide at Medina, and then, when he did embrace the peace of Sakina, the spirit of tranquillity related to the Hebrew Shekhinah, in the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, again turned away from the spirit of concord, when he had the force of numbers, and marched on Mecca and smashed the idols of the Ka'aba, ordered the slave singer Sarah to be killed the same day; and other singers who sang against Muhammad had their tongues cut out; and the shrines to the Goddess were desecrated and obliterated from the face of the Earth.

Before Islam, the Ka'aba was a holy shrine where all religions were respected. To regain this spirit of cooperation and make it possible for all paths to come to the holy site in freedom from persecution, the Sakina Ka'aba is a virtual planetary sanctuary, where the holiness of wholeness is respected, where all paths are accepted, in so far as they can mutually co-exist in peace. We seek to provide a space of indwelling tranquillity, in which women are safe from any threat of violence, free from any form of enforced cloistering, or covering, and able to freely express themselves, and act as they see fit. A home ground in which both sexes can meet in safety from repression, in which all people can describe their their life accounts and spiritual experiences on an equal footing as living beings, without fear of oppression, fatwah, or jihad.

In the place of the uniform rule of order, is the freedom of women and men to express ourselves, and our relationships with one another, and with the universe, in creative diversity, and to reflower the verdant paradise with living diversity throughout our generations.

We would like to see the Sakina Ka'aba become a sanctuary for women who have been directly affected by the male supremacy of all patriachal traditions, including Christianity, Judiasm, Hinduism, Buddhism and particularly Islam, which is the direct source of this unraveling, to be able to use the Sakina Ka'aba as a refreshing sanctuary, just as the spring of Zam-Zam, which Hajira is believed to have discovered in the desert by where the Ka'aba now stands, whose flight, when deserted by Abraham, became the basis of the name the Hajj pilgrimage now bears.
