“Saudi Buys Yale A New Sharia Law Center.” the Daily Caller’s headline on Sept. 14, pointed to the new Abdallah S. Kamel Center for the Study of Islamic Law and Civilization at Yale Law School, an initiative that President Peter Salovey, GRD ’86, announced on Sept. 8, after Kamel donated $10 million for its creation.
The Center will educate students about Islam and the Middle East through a new lecture series on Islamic law and civilization, fellowships for advanced studies, and tenured professorships in Islamic law. On Oct. 20, the Center will hold a lecture on women in Islam, entitled “Ethics, Gender, and the Islamic Legal Project” given by Marion Holmes Katz, a visiting professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies from NYU.

PAKISTAN’S CHRISTIANS WARNED TO PREPARE FOR ISLAMIC STATE ATTACKS
Pakistan’s Christians should take measures to prepare against a coming wave of attacks by Islamic State (ISIS), the country’s military has warned. They have been contacting churches, individuals, and Christian organisations in the country to inform them that jihadists may attack imminently.
ISIS affiliated groups within Pakistan have already made their intentions clear, publicly announcing that they will start to attack “infidels” within the country. At the same time, the military has begun purging ISIS sympathisers from within its ranks, and contacting Christian groups to warn them of potential attacks.
According to the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), they have been warning Christian leaders not to meet people unknown to them, and have even advised one pastor not to take his usual morning and evening walks.

The calculation of the year is fairly simple to understand; how the precise day and month were arrived at is a little more complicated.
According to the Hebrew calendar, the year just begun is 5776. If we subtract 2015 – the current year in the secular, or Gregorian, calendar – from that, we arrive at Year One being 3761 B.C.E. (before the Common Era).
