102. Who Practices Polygamy? Information on the history of polygamy and the acceptance of it or forms of it in many societies, from an islamic view point. http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/humanrelations/womeninislam/polygamy.html

Who Practices Polygamy? Who Practices Polygamy? Polygamy has been practiced by mankind for thousands of years. Many of the ancient Israelites were polygamous, some having hundreds of wives. King Solomon (peace be upon him) is said to have had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines. David (Dawood) had ninety-nine and Jacob (Yacub, peace be upon them both) had four. Advice given by some Jewish wise men state that no man should marry more than four wives. No early society put any restrictions on the number of wives or put any conditions about how they were to be treated. Jesus was not known to have spoken against polygamy. As recently as the seventeenth century, polygamy was practiced and accepted by the Christian Church. The Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) has allowed and practiced polygamy in the United States. Monogamy was introduced into Christianity at the time of Paul when many revisions took place in Christianity. This was done in order for the church to conform to the Greco-Roman culture where men were monogamous but owned many slaves who were free for them to use: In other words, unrestricted polygamy. Early Christians invented ideas that women were "full of sin" and man was better off to "never marry." Since this would be the end of mankind these same people compromised and said "marry only one."

Box 15875 I.R. Iran, Tel 9821-890-3720 Non-governmental organizations concerned with conservation Major Natural Resources Iran's major mineral resources are coal, chromium, copper, iron ore, lead, manganese, zinc, and sulfur. Iran is a major producer of natural gas and petroleum. Major Environmental and Conservation Issues There is air pollution in Iran, especially in urban areas, due to vehicle emissions. Refinery operations and industrial waste also deposit large amouts of chemicals and particle matter into the environment. Deforestation, overgrazing and desertification all contribute to the destruction of plant and animal habitats on the land. Oil pollution, in the form of spills or run off, makes its way into the Persian Gulf, disturbing the plants and animals that live within it. Due to this kind of pollution, Iran has inadequate supplies of potable water. In addition to man made problems, Iran experiences periodic droughts, floods, dust storms, sandstorms, earthquakes along western border and in the northeast.

105. The Tale Of A Journey In The Islamic Republic Of Iran A very indepth report of a seat-of-the-pants solo trip to Iran in July 1996. http://www.csd.uu.se/~pierref/travel/iran.trip

The Tale of a Journey in the Islamic Republic of Iran 30 June - 21 July 1996 Do not duplicate or redistribute in any form without written permission. Turkey - Tehran - Esfahan - Shiraz - Takht-e Jamsheed - Shiraz - Yazd - Tabas - Mashhad - Neishabur - Mashhad - Gonbad-e Kavus - Gorgan - Chaluz - Ramsar - Rasht - Masuleh - Rasht - Ghazvin - Alamut - Ghazvin - Tabriz - Turkey (all overland) Introduction This is a report of a solo-trip to Iran, undertaken during July 1996 [please note that this was way before the election of Khatami]. I have compiled it from my travel notes, often omitting irrelevant details such as where I ate what, where I slept, and so on, but adding some afterthoughts and hindsights. I am from Luxembourg, so expect a slightly European mind-set, but maybe tainted by the fact that I actually lived in Turkey. This journey was totally improvised, reservations being a concept totally alien to me. Of course I did some homework beforehand, so as to know the must-sees. My only available information source was the Lonely Planet guide "Iran - A Travel Survival Kit (1st edition)" (Australia, 1991, by David St Vincent: a great book, but aging badly; fortunately, new editions are always in the making). Descriptions are kept informative enough so that those who have been there should recognize the places, while those who would like to go there should be able to locate them. This report is not intended to be a crash course on Iranian history and culture.

Links Rules for the Islamic Calendar in Different Countries The Islamic calendar is based on visibility of the crescent Moon. This is a very difficult scientific problem. We know perfectly well where the Moon and the Sun are at any given time, but how light must the Moon be and how dark must the sky be before we can see the crescent? And what if the weather is bad? If you want to get a reasonable estimate for when the moon will be visible, the easiest thing is to use the software MoonCalc , the leading lunar visibility and Islamic calendar software, developed by Dr. Monzur Ahmed . I have a local copy of MoonCalc 6.0 In spite of these difficulties, some Muslim communities base their calendar on actual Moon sightings. This is done in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the US. In Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf countries they have simplified the calendar. They start the lunar month if the Moon sets after the Sun on the 29th day of the previous month, as seen from Mecca.

115. History & Info - The Islamic Calendar Introduces the lunar calendar that governs religious observances. Explains why you can't print an islamic calendar in advance. http://webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-islamic.html

The Islamic calendar The Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar) is a purely lunar calendar. It contains 12 months that are based on the motion of the moon, and because 12 synodic months is only 12 x 29.53=354.36 days, the Islamic calendar is consistently shorter than a tropical year, and therefore it shifts with respect to the Christian calendar. The calendar is based on the Qur'an (Sura IX, 36-37) and its proper observance is a sacred duty for Muslims. The Islamic calendar is the official calendar in countries around the Gulf, especially Saudi Arabia. But other Muslim countries use the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes and only turn to the Islamic calendar for religious purposes. What does an Islamic year look like? So you can't print an Islamic calendar in advance? How does one count years? When will the Islamic calendar overtake the Gregorian calendar? ... Doesn't Saudi Arabia have special rules? What does an Islamic year look like? The names of the 12 months that comprise the Islamic year are: Muharram Rajab Safar Sha'ban Rabi' al-awwal (Rabi' I) Ramadan Rabi' al-thani (Rabi' II) Shawwal Jumada al-awwal (Jumada I) Dhu al-Qi'dah Jumada al-thani (Jumada II) Dhu al-Hijjah (Due to different transliterations of the Arabic alphabet, other spellings of the months are possible.)

119. Abu Nuwas, The First And Foremost Islamic Gay Poet The gay life and poetry of Abu Nuwas, the homosexual Arab poet of medieval Baghdad. http://www.androphile.org/preview/Library/Mythology/Arabian/AbuNuwas/AbuNuwasBio

Abu Nuwas, the first and foremost Islamic gay poet Critic, relent! Your hope for repentance Will meet with disapppointment. For this is the life, Not desert tents, How can you set the bedu You, mad to expect repentance, Tear your robe all you want; I will never repent! (Diwan, 11-12; after Kennedy, p. 223) Abu Nuwas set aside older, traditional writing forms for drinking songs (khamriyyat) and witty, erotic lyrics on male love (mudhakkarat and mujuniyyat) that resonate with an authenticity born of experience, soon becoming famous, if not notorious. His love poems celebrate love for a beautiful boy, often embodied in the figure of the saqi, the Christian wine boy at the tavern. The theme was picked up time and again over the ensuing centuries by the best poets of Iran and Arabia, such as Omar al-Khayyam, Hafiz, and countless others who shared his tastes. Around the time the young Harun al-Rashid ascended to the throne, Abu Nuwas set up shop in Baghdad, in those days capital of both Arabia and Persia. The time was a golden age of Arab culture and learning, and the city was the biggest in the world of its day. Perhaps he was hoping to curry favor with the new caliph , a more enlightened ruler than his brutal predecessor. However, being a court poet exposed Abu Nuwas to the whims and vagaries of an absolute monarch. Though not as capricious as some, Harun al-Rashid was conscious of having to maintain the aura of propriety incumbent upon the Defender of the Faith, and more than once threw Abu Nuwas into prison for his drinking and his impertinent verse.
