"Pillar of Defense (Cloud)" - Israel & Hamas Agree to Gaza Cease Fire | |
Reader. User ID: 19010824 United States 11/20/2012 09:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To evacuate Americans from Israel in the event this mess starts to spread. For instance - if no cease fire is reached and Israel launches a ground invasion more than a few pundits have suggested Hezbollah could get involved at that point. Not to mention, Assad may use it as an opportunity to "rally the flag" and draw attention away from his rather dire domestic problems. Not to mention Iran and a new Egyptian government that is not anywhere near as friendly to the US as it was under Mubarak. Lots of wild cards . . . Probably getting worried about Air-Evacs for Americans with all those stingers on the loose from Benghazi............. |

Which, unfortunately, is probably the point. It's nails on a chalkboard to me... through loudspeakers. I won't belittle it because it is a custom that has been around for centuries, I'm sure a rosary or a mass may sound the same way to them. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28176177 Germany 11/20/2012 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Saddletramp Obama says that's the most beautiful sound in the world... Personally I would rather listen to the Rooster fuck the Donkey in the video... I support Israel, but I have to admit i'm a fan of the Islamic Morning Prayer. It's haunting, and is a fascinating window into the ancient world. the singing is far from ancient. it was quite some time after mohammed started his reigios conquests and islam got in touch with the ancient high culture of the then christian near east and mediterranean. the chanting originates in the early byzantine christian chantings from constantinople, which themselves origianted from mainly egyptian, greek and roman religious chant, wheras the egyptian (late pharaonic ptolemaic temple chants) was the most influental. Thanks for the info! This thread is an education for all. Outstanding. am i allowed to post a song of that time for you to get the impression? no intention to state anything religious, it is but a good example to understand where islamic prayer calls stems from. hope it's ok to post this here. again, i am not interested in any religious argument here!

The longer this drags out the more resistance will rise in the international arena. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27874496 Yeah, human beings being aware of how evil and sick both Zionism and Israel actually are. The cats already out of the bag on both accounts. |

Éireann User ID: 28109964 United States 11/20/2012 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone else feel like the morning call to prayers is a window into the ancient world? Quoting: ISO I'm a big fan of ancient history, and I bet morning was just like this in the year 400 (without the loudspeakers). To their credit this strict religious lifestyle has managed to transport ancient customs into the modern world, and it's kind of AWESOME. Everyone knows I support Israel 100 percent in this, and Hamas has to go, but the pure religious and historical aspect of the Gazan people is pretty awesome for any history fan. I absolutely agree with you on the window the past. It probably would have been around 750 to 800 AD before you would have heard this form of prayer. As a scholar of language, the history of a people is often times expressed more deeply through their art, music, and architecture. It's like getting inside the head a people who existed just under 1500 years ago. Eireann~ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20 |
