    Extractions: Accueil RuneQuest Cthulhu Miles Christi ... E-Mail Memento Finis partie Annexes Nous sommes le jour de la Saint Jean et Paul (le 26 juin). " Emissaires du Temple, sachez pouvoir, en cette soirée, vous considérer comme mes convives plus que comme mes adversaires dans la lutte qui nous oppose " " Mes chers amis, nous sommes réunis en ce jour pour recevoir les doléances des émissaire du Temple. Dois-je rappeler qu’à la suite de notre écrasante victoire au Marj-Ayun, nous avons eu la clémence d’épargner l’un des leurs, le Frère Eudes. C’est de la libération de ce dernier qu’il convient que nous nous entretenions. Avant toute chose, je précise que Nous ne sommes guère favorable à cette libération. Néanmoins, en Notre grande clémence, Nous restons à l’écoute des propositions du Temple ". Il se tournera vers les Frères et les interrogera du regard. A eux de plaider au mieux la libération de Eudes de Saint-Amand. Quelque soit leur proposition, et surtout si elle tient au versement de la rançon, l’Atabeg fera la moue. Dans ce dernier cas, Soraka prendra la parole et marquera son étonnement : " Je croyais qu’il était de coutume, chez les Frères du Temple, de ne verser aucune rançon si ce n’est un couteau d’arme ?… Si votre Loi n’a que si peu de valeur à vos yeux que vous la transgressez à la première occasion, comment pouvons-nous avoir confiance en vos dires ? Pour ma part (se tournant vers l’Atabeg), je ne vois pas ce que nous pourrons tirer d’une telle négociation… (l’Atabeg fera signe à Soraka de garder patience) ".

Thousands of visitors lined the arena and cheered on the champion horses. Though the weather wasn't especially nice (sometimes it rained cats and dogs) no one left its place - the performances of the many different riders and horses of the parade was simply too good to be missed. Der Asil Cup fand in diesem Jahr zum ersten und hoffentlich nicht zum letzten Mal auf historischem Boden im Haupt- und Landgestüt Marbach statt - und zwar in Verbindung mit der beliebten Marbacher "Sommerparade". Tausende säumten die Arena und hielten trotz des strömenden Regens tapfer aus - aus Angst etwas von den mitreissenden Vorführungen zu verpassen, die von den "Marbachern" und Asil Club-Mitgliedern zum besten gegeben wurden.

    Extractions: The Experiences of the Nations, c. 980 CE The Caliphate of al-Muqtadir Billah (r. 908-932). Account of the procedure at the proclamation of Ja'far son of Mu'tadid, whose kunyah was Abu'l-Fadi, and who was thirteen years of age at the time When Muktafi's [Caliph, r. 892-902, father of Muqtadir] illness grew serious, his wazir `Abbas ben Hasan inclined to Ibn al-Furat's view, and with this there coincided the testament of Muktafi, which assigned to his brother Ja`far the sucession to the Caliphate. So when Muktafi died, late in the day on Saturday, August 13, 908, the wazir `Abbas appointed Ja`far to the Caliphate, albeit unwillingly, owing to Ja`far's tender years. Safi the Hurami (attendant of the women's apartments) went to bring him down the river from Ibn Tahir's palace; when the harraqah in which he was brought came on its way to the palace of `Abbas ben Hasan, the retainers of `Abbas called out to the boatman to come inside. It occurred to Safi the Hurami that `Abbas only desired Ja`far to enter his palace because he had changed his mind with regard to the prince; fearing then that the wazir might transfer his choice to some one else, Safi told the boatman not to go in, and drawing his sword said to the boatman: If you go inside, I will slash off your head. So the boatman proceeded without stopping to the Sultan's Palace. Ja`far's appointment was then effected, and he took the title al-Muqtadir Billah ("the powerful through God"). The new Sultan gave `Abbas a free hand, and the latter gave out the accession money.

On a quelques détails de la vie d’ Al-Baghdadi . Il est né et a été élevé à Bagdad mais quitta cette ville pour aller à Nishapur (parfois écrit Neyshabu r en anglais) dans la région de Tus en nord-est de l’Iran. Il n'est pas allé seul à Nishapur, mais a été accompagné de son père qui devait être un homme d’une richesse considérable, pour Al-Baghdadi, c’était un atout lui permettant de dépenser beaucoup d'argents pour ses études.

This absurd and anonymous article ABDULLAH IBN SABA; FOUNDER OF SHIISM is another ploy demonstrated by the anti-Shi’ah syndicate in order to mislead, cast confusion and discord among the Shi’ah in particular and Muslims in general. The anti-Shi’ah zealots have attempted to invert every truth about the forthright successor ship of Ali ibn abi Talib (a.s.) to accommodate their predecessor’s fundamental error, i.e. the irrational and fraudulent concept of caliphate, hence, its stepchild the misconception of (shura).

The merchants of Malabar and the Maabar districts transport it without any other price than a few articles of clothing, which are given as presents to the king. This may be attributed to the circumstance, that it is brought down by the mountain torrents, and left in great heaps upon the shore. Between this city and the Maabar districts, there is a voyage of one day and night. The king of Ceylon, Ayari Shakarti, by name, has considerable forces by sea. When I was first admitted to his presence, he rose and received me honourably, and said: You are to be my guest for three days. Security shall be forwarded to the people of the ship, because your relation, the King of the Maabar, is my friend. After thanking him, I remained with him, and was treated with increasing respect.

    Extractions: By M Erhayiem The IBM World Book Encyclopaedia raises the question as how the Arabic Numerals originated (!?) as appeared in an article contributed by Nadine L. Verderber, Ph.D., Prof. of Mathematics, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville. The article states, as such, "Scholars do not know how Arabic numerals originated." "The Hindus developed the zero sometime after A.D. 600." The World Book Multimedia Encyclopaedia has largely ignored the work of the Scientists during the Islamic and the Arabic medieval era. The contributions of the Muslims and Arabs in the field of Mathematics were very significant. The great Harvard historian of science, Professor George Sarton wrote in his monumental Introduction to the History of Science[4]: "From the second half of the 8th to the end of the 11th century, Arabic was the scientific, the progressive language of mankind... When the West was sufficiently mature to feel the need of deeper knowledge, it turned its attention, first of all, not to the Greek sources, but to the Arabic ones." O'Connor and Robertson[2] published various articles about the contribution of those forgotten brilliance.

The new leaders of jihad in the world don't hold press conferences and don't fax their bios to casting agents in Van Nuys. They're a secretive bunch, working in the shadows, and letting their legend among the infidels grow. We know of Tahir Yuldashev only by the word of his enemies and his occasional brush with a stray spotlight. His childhood friends are afraid to talk lest they be suspected by the brutal Uzbek government of sharing their playmate's radical ideas. And those who know the leader of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) personally aren't talking either, except - with great caution - amongst themselves. Tahir Yuldashev is often characterized as the "political leader" or "spokesman" of IMU - the brains behind the brawn of operational commander Djuma Namangani , who was allegedly killed in November 2001 fighting for the Taleban in or near Konduz. Yuldashev lived in Afghanistan until recently, and still might be there. Rumor has it that Yuldashev was leading the men who fought the Americans in Operation Anaconda, though no trace of him has been found. Others have it that the Uzbek yahoo fled the collapse of the Taleban for the tribal belt of Pakistan, and that he's made his way back to his home-away-from-home in Tajikistan, preparing for a new onslaught in his old stomping grounds. About the only thing for certain is that Yuldashev (like just about every other important Talebaniac and
