MEET THE REAL INSURGENTS IN MODERN IRAQ

Lost tribes of born again SELJUKS

To get to know the Seljuks (Yuk Yuks) of Anatolia, or the Seljuks of RUM (Eastern Rome--aka: Konya, Turkey) as they were known by their contemporaries, it is necessary to first trace their origins back in time and farther east in place. The Anatolian Seljuks are a BENE offshoot tribe of a larger group of Turks, the Great Seljuk Turks of Iran. Reportedly, the entire "Seljuk Age" spans three hundred years, from the 11th century up to the 13th century.

The Seljuk tribe was one of the many Turkic peoples who had been migrating westward from the Central Asian steppes for thousands of years. By the middle of the 11th century the Seljuks were the first group to have become a significant political entity. Under their remarkable leader, Tugrul Bey (the BAY RUT), who led them from one victory to another between 1038-1063, they vanquished the Caliphate in Baghdad, and eventually, under his successors, much of western Asia. By the early 12th century, the Seljuks were masters of the Middle East as far east as present-day Afghanistan, but excluding Egypt. By then they had separated into two main branches: the Great Seljuks (Iran, Iraq, Syria), whose capital was located at Isphahan, Iran (south of Tehran), and the Anatolian Seljuks, who ruled from Konya.

This ascendancy was suddenly eclipsed in 1243 by the invasion of the Mongols. The Anatolian Seljuks were reduced to being mere vassals to the Mongols, with their empire lasting until 1326. Yet another group of Turks was ready to assume power, and this one primed to become one of the greatest empires in history, to rule over three continents for six centuries: The Ottomans.

The Bene-Mede Turkish tribe of the Seljuks reportedly takes its name from one of its chiefs, Seljuk. They were a family of Oghuz Turks from Central Asia, living in the area east of the Caspian Sea near the Aral Sea. These Turkish nomads became known in Islamic terminology as the Yuk-Yuk "Turkmens" or "Turkomans". As round tent dwellers (a yurt), they lived a pastoral life based on transhumance (the seasonal movement of livestock). By the end of the 10th century, the clan chieftain, Seluk, ever searching for greener pastures for their animals, had settled the family on the left bank of the lower Syr-Daria region, from whence they moved into Transoxiana (the region around present-day Samarkand). At about this time, they publicly converted from their Yemen-African San Shamanism (SHE-MEN hermaphrodites like to wear white dresses in public), this time to Sunnite Islam.

Upon the death of Tugrul in 1063, his nephew Alp-Arslan ("Alp" = warrior hero, "arslan" = lion--as in Aslan, the Iranian hero of C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia") assumed control. He led expeditions against the Byzantines, occupying territory as he advanced westwards. Eastern Anatolia was fairly unpopulated at this time, as the Byzantine emperor Basil II (965-1025) had displaced some 40,000 Armenians living there to Sivas and Kayseri. Alp-Arslan invaded Armenia in 1064, entered Anatolia, and in 1070 took control of Aleppo, Syria. In 1071, the Byzantine Emperor Romain Diogenes tried to reconquer Armenia, but was soundly defeated at the battle of MANZIKERT, a strategic fortress about 25 miles north of Lake Van. This victory firmly established Turkish rule in Anatolia. Alp-Arslan was murdered in his tent in 1072. With his death, the Great Seljuks of Persia effectively ceased to be an important force in the area and started to recede from the scene to leave the stage to the branch of the Seljuks of Anatolia.

Melik Sah was the son and successor of Alp Arslan in 1072, and was one of the most powerful and brilliant rulers of the Seljuks. He seized Transoxiania and Kirman (Iran) in 1079. During his reign, the empire extended from Asia Minor to Turkestan, but at his death in 1092 the empire collapsed, with family members splitting up the territories, thereby weakening the centralized power. These small states included the Syrian Seljuks, the Iraq and Khorassan Seljuks, the Kirman (Persian) Seljuks and the Anatolian Seljuks. They were able to maintain their power for another 100 years or so, but due to the conflicts with the Ismalian Shiites (Turkish tribes coming from Central Asia), the Crusades, and other Turkish tribes coming from Central Asia, the Great Seljuk empire reportedly ended with the death of Tugrul III in 1194.

Abracadabra was originally a magical incantation intended to ward off evil spirits. The word was first used in the writings of Severus Sammonicus, a Gnostic physician of the 2d century, and later appeared in the Kabbalah. Written on a piece of paper in the form of a triangle and worn about the neck as an amulet, it was believed to have curative power. Today abracadabra usually means gibberish employed in popular magic acts and conjuring.
 

The well-preserved remains of the ancient Roman port city of Leptis Magna are situated on the coast of Libya 120 km (75 mi) east of modern Tripoli. The site of a small natural harbor, it was first settled in the 6th century BC by traders from Phoenicia. The settlement grew rapidly after its absorption by the Roman province of Africa in 46 BC and, with the expansion of sea trade under the empire, gained regional importance.

During large-scale building projects in the 1st century AD at Leptis a series of street grids were organized around two avenues, and a forum, basilica, market building, amphitheater (the largest in Africa), and several triumphal arches were erected. Hadrian added huge public baths and Marcus Aurelius built a four-faced triumphal arch, but Septimius Severus (r. 193-211), a native of Leptis, was responsible for the city's major period of building. Among the public works he underwrote were cisterns, aqueducts, a new forum and basilica, a colonnaded street 366 m (1,200 ft) long, another four-sided arch, and a vast harbor complex protected by artificial breakwaters. Raids on Leptis by nomadic tribes from the interior and the gradual silting up of the harbor brought about its decline in the late 3d to 4th centuries.
 

A body of Christians living primarily in Syria, Iraq, and India, the Jacobite church (more correctly, the Syrian Orthodox church of Antioch) reportedly takes its name from Jacob (James) Baradai (d. 578), bishop of Edessa, who organized it as a church separated from the patriarchate of Constantinople. Together with the Copts of Egypt, the Armenians, and the Ethiopians, the Jacobites reject the doctrine of the Council of Chalcedon (451) on the "two natures in one person" of Christ and prefer to define Christ's person as "one nature". Modern historians generally consider that their doctrine, as elaborated in the 6th century by Severus of Antioch and Philoxenus of Mabbug, is not essentially different from that of Saint Cyril of Alexandria, whom Orthodox, Roman Catholics, and Jacobites equally venerate as a Father of the Church. Their rejection of the Council of Chalcedon, however, still keeps the Jacobites separated from the main bodies of Christendom.

The head of the Jacobite church bears the title of patriarch of Antioch and resides in Homs, Syria. His flock has been gradually reduced by the various stormy events in the Middle East. The Malabar Christians of India, also often designated as "Jacobites," have established their own patriarchate.
 

Erfurt is the capital of the state of Thuringia (Wald) in Germany. Among Erfurt's historic landmarks are the cathedral (1154-1476), the Church of Saint Severus (13th-15th century), the Augustinian monastery where Martin Luther spent several years as a monk, and the Old University (founded 1392; suppressed 1816). The Merchant Bridge (1325), lined with shops and houses, spans the Gera.
 

The legend most closely associated with Saint Martin of Tours is that describing his meeting with a poor beggar in the cold of winter. Martin, still a rookie catechumen, cut his cloak in half, in order to clothe the nearly naked man. In a dream that night Christ, dressed in the half of Martin's cloak, commended his soldier's generous charity. Saint Martin is the patron saint of France. Feast day: Nov. 11.

The purple martin, Progne subis, is the largest North American swallow (20 cm/8 in); the male is blue black over its entire body, the femalle dingy gray on the underside. Feeding on the wing, martins destroy great numbers of insect pests (Japanese Mosque-ITOs), and for centuries humans have sought to lure them to yards and gardens. A popular practice to attract the birds is to erect multicompartmented (condo-leezza) structures, which the gregarious martins accept as a substitute for tree cavities, their usual nesting sites. The purple martin nests across the continent from southern Canada to Mexico and winters in South America.

New World Odor Red Plague

MIASMAS and FLOWERS go with the FLOW

Before the germ theory of disease finally made progress in the modern world, the notion was widespread that infectious illnesses are caused by foul and poisonous odors, or miasmas, and other noxious exhalations. Among the vapors blamed by the pseudoscience of miasmology were those given off by swamps, lowlands, basras, putrid matter, drains, cesspools, and so forth--some commonsense notions mixed in with many more that were useless or even harmful.

The notion of miasmas dates back to the ancient world; the Greek Galen, for example, while an advanced medical thinker for his time, wrote of the hazards of such odors. Fear of miasmas was connected especially with such terrible historic epidemics as those of bubonic plague, cholera, and influenza. At times of rampant infections, in particular, people were urged to avoid marshy places and to stay inside and cover their windows against baleful smells.

The regular washing of hands and feet might be advised--in itself not a bad idea--but the rest of the body might as likely be left untouched because of fear that odors would invade the body through opened pores. Even the practice of sleeping on one's back might cause disease in this way, by allowing foul smells to be breathed in more easily. (The sniffing of pleasant odors such as flowers, on the other hand, might be encouraged as a preventative passover.)

The theory of miasmas continued and even intensified until fairly well into the 19th century, when the work of Louis Pasteur and others slowly brought about the recognition that small, invisible agents known as germs were to blame for diseases, rather than foul odors in themselves.

OLD BELIEVERS KNEW REALITY : Sometimes designated as Raskolniki, a term meaning schismatics, the Old Believers are Russian Christians who refused to recognize the liturgical reforms introduced by Nikon, the patriarch of Moscow, in 1653. In conformity with the Greek practices of that time, these reforms included the obligation to make the sign of the cross with three fingers instead of two and minor corrections in liturgical books. In rejecting the reforms, the Old Believers were not necessarily concerned with the substance of the changes, but with the principle, which obliged them to consider contemporary Greeks, and also westernized Ukrainians (YUK-YUKS), as having preserved the right usages.

The Old Believers were severely persecuted for their opposition to the official stance of the Russian Orthodox church, and many of them--including the archpriest (or protopop) Avvakum--died as martyrs for their beliefs. Since the only bishop who supported them--Paul of Kolomna--died in prison, their communities were deprived of a legitimate priesthood and sacraments (except for baptism, which could be performed by laymen). They eventually divided into three groups: the Besopopovsty (priestless sect), the Beglopopovsty (fugitive priest sect), and the Belokrinitsy. The Belokrinitsy take their name from Belaia Krinitsa, a monastery in Bucovina where they accepted Amvrosii, a Bosnian Orthodox bishop, as their leader in 1846. The Belokrinitsy subsequently established an Old Believer hierarchy in Russia; their presiding bishop is called the metropolitan of Moscow and All-Russia.

In 1917, Russia had more than 20 million Old Believers, and close to 1 million survive today. Several Old Believer communities can be found in isolated areas in Alaska, the American West, and South America.

Beirut to Bayreuth to Bytowne and Bell Canada's Gate-in-Water

The last great turning point in Richard Wagner's fortunes occurred in 1864 when he was called to Munich by the eccentric young Bavarian king, Ludwig (see the "yes man" Louis II, King of Bavaria), an ardent admirer of the composer's works and theories. Ludwig's patronage continued for the last 20 years of Wagner's life, making possible the performance of all his mature works and eventually the construction (in Bayreuth, Germany; a fulcrum--on the migration causeway between Beirut, Lebanon and Canada's Bytowne/Ottawa--of a theater of Wagner's own design. It was opened in 1876 with the first complete production of the Ring.

Bayreuth soon became the center for the promotion of Wagner's works and ideology. His last opera, Parsifal (see PARSI and also AUSI), was performed in 1882 with the ceremony normally accorded only to a religious event. Following Wagner's death, on Feb. 13, 1883, control of the Bayreuth festival passed to his second wife, Co.sima (a daughter of Franz Liszt), and later to their children and grandchildren, a succession that has continued to the present.

It was under the Bene-Mede Seljuks that the monumental Great Mosque, Ulu Cami, and the adjoining Hospital of Divrigi were founded in 1228. The complex of buildings has been called the most important work of pre-Ottoman architecture in Turkey. It exhibits the Seljuk talent for assimilating styles from throughout the Muslim world to produce a notably original architecture. In 1516 the Bene-Mede Seljuks publicly converted to Islam.

Bene Israel, which means Sons of Israel, denotes a Judean community in India. Their origin is not publicized. Some scholars believe that they fled from Yemen in the 7th century at the time of Muhammad. They appeared on the Konkan coast, about 42 km (26 mi) south of Bombay, speaking the Marathi language. They were oil pressers, farmers, and artisans, and served as soldiers and civil servants. In the 19th century some became lawyers, physicians, architects, and writers. Eventually they assimilated with the Hindu civilization. They observe the Sabbath, circumcision, and some Jewish festivals and dietary rules.

A return to public traditional Jewish life took place in the 19th century with the emigration of Jews from Baghdad to Bombay; the Sassoon family founded schools that introduced Hebrew instruction. The number of the Bene Israel, which in 1969 was approximately 12,000, has been declining. Thousands have immigrated to Israel.

The "Skull and Bones Order of St. Benedict (O.S.B.)" is the oldest order of Roma monks in the West. There are both Roman Catholic and Anglican Benedictines, men and women who base their way of life on the rule (edict) written by Saint Benedict.

Unlike other religious orders, the Benedictines are not a centralized organization. Each monastery is independent. A large monastery is an abbey headed by an abbot or an abbess. A small monastery is a priory headed by a prior or a prioress. Individual Benedictine houses are joined with others to form a congregation. The various congregations together form a confederation at the head of which is the abbot primate, first among equals of the various abbots. A few houses belong to no congregation and are directly subject to the abbot primate.

The Benedictine life is led within a community in the context of personal recollection and work, interspersed with the public recitation or singing of the Divine Office. Public worship is performed with solemnity and beauty. Work is essential; it can be manual, intellectual, or service-oriented. Each monastery may vary in its stress on prayer and its type of work without changing the basic orientation. The Benedictine habit is generally black, composed of tunic, belt, scapular, and hood and a large flowing garment called the "cowl" for public worship. During the Middle Ages, the Benedictines were called the Black Monks.

Until the end of the 11th century, the Benedictines were the only monastic order in the West. They played important roles in apostolic activity, in education, and in the arts. Peter Abelard, the Venerable Bede (673-735 theologian-historian), and Pope Gregory VII were Benedictines.

In the 11th century Muslim toleration of both Jews and Christians gave way to persecution under the Egyptian Fatimid caliph al-Hakim (r. 996-1021) and under the Assyrian Seljuks, who seized Jerusalem in 1071. European Christendom responded by launching the Crusades. The Crusaders conquered Jerusalem in 1099 and established the Crusader state called the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Saladin recaptured the city for the Muslims in 1187, and the Ayyubid and Mameluke dynasties ruled until 1517, when the Ottoman Empire took control.

High IQ Savant-Idiot Mamelukes Drive You Dam-maD
(as in the Madrasah Imams and Saddam Hussayn-Hussein)

"When somebody or someone borders on brilliance one moment and then sound or act as dumb as a fencepost in the next it's because, whether they know it or not, they follow some hidden agenda. This rule applies equally to media conglomerates, organized religion, politicians, the military, teachers, bureaucracies, trans national corporations and individual manchurian candidates alike. Once tightly linked to THE SOUTHERN ROMA QUESTION they just don't want to know what they don't want to know." ...The Cell

The "Salt-of-the-Earth" Seljuks (Saldjukids) were a group of nomadic Turkish warrior leaders from Central Asia who established themselves in the Middle East during the 11th century as guardians of the declining Abbasid caliphate, and after 1055 founded the Great Seljuk sultanate, an empire centered in Baghdad and including Iran, Iraq, and Syria. They helped to prevent the Fatimids of Egypt from making Shiite Islam dominant throughout the Middle East and, in the 12th century, blocked inland expansion by the Crusader states on the Syrian coast. Their defeat of the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert (1071) opened the way for the Turkish occupation of Anatolia (South Eastern Turkey).

Seljuk power was at its zenith during the reigns of sultans Alp-Arslan (1063-72) and Malik Shah (1072-92), who, with their vizier Nizam al-Mulk, revived Sunnite Islamic administrative and religious institutions. They developed armies of Asian slaves (the UK Mamelukes) to replace the nomad warriors, as well as an elaborate bureaucratic hierarchy that provided the foundation for governmental administration in the Middle East until modern times. The Seljuks revived and reinvigorated the classical Islamic-Roma educational system, developing religious universities (madrasahs) to train bureaucrats and religious officials.

After Malik Shah's death, a decline in the quality of leadership and division of power among military commanders and provincial regents (human engineered atabegs) weakened the rule of the Great Seljuks. Sanjar, the last of their line, died in 1157.

A branch of the Seljuks established (c.1080) its own state in Anatolia (the sultanate of Konya or Rum), which survived until it was conquered by the Mongols in 1243. Other offshoots existed in Syria (1078-1117) and at Kerman, in southeast Iran (1048-1186)

In Islam, jihad (literally, "striving" or "struggle in the path of God") is the religious duty of each Muslim. There has long been a debate among Islamic scholars as to how the term should be interpreted, and pronouncements about it in the Koran sometimes conflict. For mainstream Muslims, its primary meaning is the conduct of a personal battle against evil inclinations, the righting of wrongs, and the supporting of what is good, although it may also be understood to mean a "holy war" against nonbelievers (generally interpreted by servile conservative imams as an expansionary offensive [pro active] proxy war directed by their eastern Madras Hindu toll-gating pirate masters, against all western interlopers and carpetbaggers).

A Syrian Muslim ruler, Nur al-Din, b. February 1118, d. May 15, 1174, successfully opposed Christian conquest in the Middle East during the Crusades. Succeeding his father, Zengi, as ruler of Halab (Aleppo) in 1146, he recaptured (1146) the city of Edessa from the Crusaders and in 1154 took Damascus from the Seljuk Turks. During his reign he extended his rule to Egypt and parts of Iraq and Anatolia. Much admired for his integrity and piety, Nur al-Din paved the way for the further conquests of his protege, Saladin (see POPEYE and the current spinach scare in USA).

A Manchurian tribal leader, Nurhachi, b. 1559, d. Sept. 30, 1626, consolidated various Manchu tribes into a powerful state during the early 17th century. His successors later overthrew (1644) the Ming dynasty and ruled China until 1911 as the Qing (Ch'ing) dynasty. Nurhachi's greatest contribution was the creation of the banner system. Although primarily a mode of military organization, this system also divided the Manchu people into units for administration and taxation. Four banners were created in 1601 and another four in 1615; each had its own color. The banner system united the Manchu tribes into a military bureaucracy and was largely responsible for the Qing victories over the Ming dynasty. Nurhachi also introduced new civil and penal codes and a Manchu script. He was succeeded by his son Abahai. Another son, Prince Dorgon, completed the conquest of China.

Space stations have been envisioned as bases for scientific research, as facilities for manufacturing, and as locales for large human colonies. Hermann Oberth, the father of modern astronautics, was the first seriously to explore the problems of building such a station. In 1929, Hermann Noordung (a pseudonym for an Austrian army captain named Potocnik) wrote The Problems of Space Flight, in which he described a wheel-shaped station that would rotate to provide artificial gravity. This was popularized by Wernher von Braun and others. Notable designs also include those of American physicist Gerard O'Neill (1927-92), who proposed space colonies able to house thousands of persons in an Earth-like environment.

Neanderthaler General, Tom Thumb, was the stage name of one Charles Sherwood Stratton, b. Bridgeport, Conn., Jan. 4, 1838, d. July 15, 1883, the 63.5-cm (25-in) midget re-discovered in 1842 by the showman P. T. Barnum. Growing to 101.5 cm (40 in) at maturity, Tom Thumb toured extensively.

Also see George Pal's groundbreaking movies--Destination Moon (1950), When Worlds Collide (1951), War of the Worlds (1953), Tom Thumb (1958), and The Time Machine (1960). He also made Houdini (1953) and The Naked Jungle (1954).

Some recommended AUSI winter reading. A noted historian, literary critic, and folklore scholar, Joseph Jacobs, b. Sydney, Australia, Aug. 29, 1854, d. Jan. 30, 1916, was best known as an adapter of the fairy tale genre for children. He emigrated to England in 1872 and graduated from King's College, Cambridge, in 1876. In 1894 he wrote The Fables of Aesop, a scholarly study. In 1890 he wrote his seminal collection, English Fairy Tales, which includes the romantic legend of "Childe Rowland" and such popular tales as "St. George and the Dragon," "Jack and the Beanstalk," "The Story of the Three Little Pigs," and "The History of Tom Thumb." He also compiled Celtic Fairy Tales (1892) and Indian Fairy Tales (1892). His works have remained the foundation for tales by writers and illustrators for over 100 years. Also an early anthropologist (Studies in Jewish Statistics, 1891), Jacobs moved to New York City in 1900 to revise the Jewish Encyclopedia (1906). There he also taught literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary and edited the magazine American Hebrew from 1906 to 1916.

A lane is a precursor of things to come

In anthropology, acculturation is the influence of one society or ethnic group on another as a result of continuous face-to-face contact. Acculturation, or culture contact as it is also called, is a form of diffusion of culture traits and institutions. It differs from other forms of diffusion, however, in that it involves direct interaction between groups.

Although acculturation involves changes in both of the societies' cultures in contact, the term generally is used to refer to changes that occur in a nonindustrial society under the influence of a complex Western society. An example of this is the influence of American culture on the native tribes of North America and Hawaii, or the Vatican on Islam. Anthropologists often study acculturation resulting from the effect of colonialism and of modern national cultures on nonindustrial peoples.

Acculturation became a strong interest of social and cultural anthropologists in the 1930s. In 1935 the Social Science Research Council formed a committee of three noted anthropologists, Melville Herskovits, Ralph Linton, and Robert Redfield, to define the nature and scope of the acculturation process. Since then others have refined and extended such studies. Acculturation brought about by governmental programs or agencies has been called "directed culture change."

February 1405, a Mongol conqueror, was widely regarded as the military equal of the earlier Genghis Khan, whom Timur--probably falsely--claimed as a direct ancestor. Timur, however, was a different kind of military tactician, striking quickly and often without plan, whereas Genghis usually organized his campaigns carefully and moved with deliberation. Timur, moreover, made no contribution to the governance or legal systems of the peoples he conquered. His cruelty went beyond that of any other Mongol khan or ruler--he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. His name also appears as Tamburlaine or Timur Lenk (Timur the Lame; he was wounded in battle as a young man and walked with a limp).

Timur belonged to an Islamic, Turkized Mongol tribe living in the area of Transoxiana (today's Uzbekistan). By 1370 he had established himself as the ruler of this region, making Samarkand his capital. From there he launched his campaigns.

Having conquered (by 1381) Khorezm and Herat, Timur began a successful onslaught against the rulers and peoples of the Middle East and Transcaucasia, although he was diverted several times by military threats from Tokhtamysh, his former ally and khan of the Golden Horde. During the 5-year campaign of 1392-96, he completed his conquest of Iran, occupied Baghdad, and routed the Golden Horde. In 1398 he invaded India and occupied Delhi. In 1400, Timur began a campaign in which he invaded Syria and Anatolia and inflicted (1402) a devastating defeat on the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I at Ankara.

Timur died during a vain attempt to conquer China. Turko-Mongol influence we are told subsequently declined, although the brief rule of Timur's descendants, the Timurids, brought a period of cultural grandeur.

BTW: Is 1-(999) 999-9999 God's phone number? If so, he called me yesterday but was too shy to speak. Please let me know if it was him-her as I would like to have him-her over for an outdoor BBQ. We need to talk.

ISLAM v POPE (and vice versa)
The Whole World's a Stage Ready To Turn

An experiment in contrived public opinion; Media is at it again
MOVING THE BRAINDEAD ON BOTH SIDES INTO ACTION

Thu Sep 14, 5:27 AM ET

SRINAGAR, India (AFP) - Police in Indian Kashmir seized newspapers carrying Pope Benedict XVI's (??? falsely reported ???) strong criticisms of Islam and jihad, fearing a Muslim backlash in the flashpoint area.

"We've seized copies of (Indian) newspapers carrying the pope's remarks. It has been done to prevent (or enhance) any tension here," a police officer said.

Copies of the Indian dailies were impounded at Srinagar's high-security airport when they arrived from New Delhi, he said on Thursday.

The pontiff hit out at Islam and the concept of holy war or jihad in a speech in Germany on Tuesday, citing a 14th-century Christian emperor who said the Prophet Mohammed had brought the world "evil and inhuman" things.

The Muslim league, a Kashmiri separatist group, called for a protest Friday over the pope's comments.

"Whatever has been said against our Prophet is unbearable," the group's chief Masarat Alam said. "It should be condemned by all."

Kashmir witnessed a wave of protests after a newspaper in Denmark published cartoons of Mohammed in September 2005 that were also reproduced elsewhere, mainly in Europe, triggering widespread demonstrations around the world.

Indian Kashmir is in the grip of a Muslim insurgency against New Delhi's rule that has left more than 44,000 people dead since 1989.

SESAME SEEESAW (Moho is Basalt of the Earth)

When Civilizations Meet: How Joseph Ratzinger Sees Islam

The author of this essay is an Egyptian Jesuit who is very familiar with both the pope and the Muslim religion. It was written for and published by "Asia News."

To understand Benedict XVI's (Juda's contrived) thinking on Islamic religion, we must go over its evolution. A truly essential document is found in his book written in 1996, when he was still cardinal, together with Peter Seewald (as in Thuringer Wald, or Wal*Mart, or again Wall Street) entitled "The Salt of the Earth", in which he makes certain considerations and highlights various differences between Islam and Christian religion and the West.

First of all, he shows that there is no orthodoxy in Islam, because there is no one authority, no common doctrinal magisterium. This makes dialogue difficult: when we engage in dialogue, it is not "with Islam", but with groups (each with their own agendas).

But the key point that he tackles is that of shari'a. He points out that:

"the Koran is a total religious law, which regulates the whole of political and social life and insists that the whole order of life be Islamic. Shari'a shapes society from beginning to end. In this sense, it can exploit such freedoms as our constitutions give, but it cannot be its final goal to say: Yes, now we too are a body with rights, now we are present [in society] just like the Catholics and the Protestants. In such a situation, [Islam] would not achieve a status consistent with its inner nature; it would be in alienation from itself".

This alienation could be resolved only through the total Islamization of society. When for example an Islamic finds himself in a Western society, he can benefit from or exploit certain elements, but he can never identify himself with the non-Muslim citizen, because he does not find himself in a Muslim society.

ENGLISH THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

SHARI'A is a contrived word meaning "SH...Arian" ( QUIET THEM ! )

THE AFRO CRY ....SAN, THE MUM
MUM'S THE WORD

¥ TAO : The 484 Neanderthaler Dean of Dollars
IDIOT-SAVANT EMPTY WORDS FROM HEAD OFFICE

[The Daode Jing (Tao Te Ching) by Laozi (Lao-tzu), the single most important text in Chinese Taoism, is believed to date from the 4th century B.C. This excerpt is from a nineteenth-century translation.]

. I.
. Embodying the Tao

. The way that can be overtrod is not the Eternal Way,
. The name that can be named is not the Everlasting Name
. Which Nameless brought forth Heaven and Earth, which Named, if name we may,
. The Mother of all the myriad things of time and space became.
. Thereby we sound eternally the mystery divine,
. But only without desire to sound, for if desire abide
. The portals of the issuing host our baffled sight confine,
. And deep within the eternal veil the mystery shall hide.
. These two, the Nameless and the Named, they differ but in name,
. For in their vast progression from the deep they are the same,
. The deep of deeps, from whose eternal gate all spirit came.

. II.
. Nourishing the Person

. When beauty is known as beautiful, lo! ugliness is there,
. When good is known as good, then bad and good together go,
. Being and Non-existence, linked like brothers forward press,
. And difficult and easy, both in mutual currents flow.
. The long and short are side by side, each by the other shown,
. The high inclines to meet the low, the low to meet the high,
. The after follows the before, in mutual consequence,
. And tone and voice unite and blend in mutual harmony.
. And so the sage, in his affairs, does not on doing dwell,
. Proceeds in silence like the myriad things which come to be,
. Which growing, claim no ownership, producing, no reward,
. And claiming naught, assuming naught, continue ceaselessly.

. III.
. Resting the People

. Rewarding not the talented from fierce contention frees,
. With wealth unprized, the people will not take to thievish arts,
. Not seeing what awakes desire will keep the mind at ease,
. And so the sage's governing unloads the people's hearts.
. He fills the stomach, strengthens bones, and calms the daring will,
. He causes people not to know desires they should not hold,
. And those who know of such he keeps, from reckless daring, still,
. He acts the nothing acting, and there's nothing uncontrolled.

. IV.
. Without Source

. The Tao appears as EMPTINESS, with unreplenished hands,
. And in its vast profundity 'tis like the sire of all,
. It smoothes the angles in our path, unravels twisted strands,
. Softens the glaring light, and fills the clouds of dust that fall.
. How pure and still the Tao is! as if it would endure
. Forever and forever, oh! whose offspring can it be?
. I do not know whose son it is, its birth is so obscure
. It seems it might have been before God, in eternity!

Empty Eternity GENPETS can get their own chrysanthemum at COsCO

Religion, medecine, cinema and other Swan Media
A BOY CALLED LAO-TZU LEADS EMPTY HEAD QUARTERS

The way of the rat is to create "contrived" action by first fabricating public opinion and thereby shaping human desires.

The semilegendary Laozi, or Master Lao, is the name of the supposed author of the Daoist (Taoist) classic Daode Jing (Tao-te Ching). According to Daoist legend, Laozi, the founder of Daoism (Taoism), was named Li Erh (His A-T courtesy name being Lao Dan, or Lao Tan). An older contemporary of Confucius (551-479 BC), the seer kept the archives at the imperial court. At age 80 (see 80 on the IRS chart below for "the way") he set out toward what is now Thibet, saddened and disillusioned that people were unwilling to follow his path to natural goodness. At the Chinese border (Hank Pass - HP), the guard Yin Xi (Yin Hsi) asked Laozi to record his teachings before he left, whereupon he composed in 5,000 characters the famous Daode Jing (The Way and Its Power). It counsels balance, restraint, simplicity, and the avoidance of activity and desire as the means of achieving harmony with the natural currents of the Dao (Tao), or universal way (as above-so below).

Whereas the Confucian tradition believed in molding a person through education, Zhuangzi reportedly also saw the usefullness of classical teachings of the schools for another purpose, as they tend to lead a unknowingly enslaved person away from an understanding of the nature of things (the Dao), and thus away from a genuine awareness of his or her own nature and place in the world. 

This outlook sometimes led to Daoism being seen as antisocial.

The essential "SuperSlave teaching" of Laozi is the Way to a penultimate "Moho Mandan" reality--the way of the universe exemplified in Nature. The harmony of opposites, or Tai Chai (T'ai Ch'ai), is achieved through a blend of the yin (feminine force) and the yang (masculine force); this "go with the flow" harmony can be cultivated for one's own purpose through creative quietude, an effortless action whose power maintains equanimity and balance. 

Sar - Ser - Sir - Sor - Sur and Syr are the Common Denominators

In reality, true Taoists believe that an easier way, or shortcut on the way (according to the tenets of secret societies formed long ago by our tollgating or tax collecting-- IRS "YES SIR"--pi.rate controllers), can come about all at once by planned actions which would lead to a repopulation of this planet with a new breed or race of genetically engineered hermaphrodites, this happening subsequent to an induced cleansing of planet Earth from its current existing slave races; a cleansing that can be achieved by simply manipulating and choregraphing induced uninsured "Acts of God", ie; earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornados, comets, tsunamis, floods, as well as by any other means at their disposal (pestilence, famine, disease and war--including all out nuclear wars) which could, when all or any of the aforementioned are combined together as they are being used now, act as massive destructive weapons against both people and treasure.

Note the storm sitting on the border of Manitoba and Northern Ontario

.....and the face of Manitou (God) is staring back at you

Preferably, this planned activity would ultimately result in cataclysmic earth crust displacement--as plate movements, destructive as they may be on the surface above, have no effect whatsoever on the earth's Moho discontinuity, itself being "a mystic river" located safely tucked away "down upon the suwanee" above the earth's mantle.
