The Dutch mp Geert Wilders was talking several months via various media about his short movie Fitna. In this movie – that he did put on line via YouTube – he wants to proof that the Koran is an evil book that should be forbidden, at least parts of it. / Untill then nobody had seen this movie, but it is was often subject of discussion amongst other members of parlement, in newspapers and on tv. There were already streetprotests in some Islamitic countries and the Dutch government was finding a way to hold this movie for viewing. For sure the Dutch government declares not to share the vision of Geert Wilders. They are scared for the possible consequencies, but mister Wilders has explained it is a correct movie, he has the right for freedom of speech and he wants to go on with this project, at a price if necessary. / The internetprovider where his site for viewing was hosted was blocked untill they had seen the content and untill extra payments were made because of the huge traffic they expected. After viewing it, its just childish cut-and-paste work with images/statements we already know, he is just pretending that Islamitic culture can lead to extremism, insulting many people who are staying far away from that intention. / Since the Dutch cineast Theo van Gogh was murdered (2004) in Amsterdam, Wilders is protected and escorted by police and bodyguards. Herewith my visual comment to his step. In my zazzle shop you can find the same design showed on different models, colours and the backside printed with logo and instruction. Plus they print larger and their quality of printing is very good! And some others…

Korea 1953
by dummySgt. Miller, (Dummy to you Red Bubblers) . I have strapped the Pilot in and the Auxillary Power Unit is plugged in ready to start the aircraft. This power unit will turn a starter-generator and at 10% RPM the starter becomes a generator and the APU can be unplugged. The Pilot will take the power to Idle percent and let the engine stabilize. Then carefully you can go to 100% RPM watching the Tail Pipe Temperature to avoid a warm start or hot start. Then you are on your way to Meet Russian Migs while escorting B-29s on bombing runs. Old fashioned compared to today’s air wars but was very effective at the time.

إقرا (ikra), arabic for read... Sūrat al-‘Alaq (العلق”The Clot”), is the 96th sura or chapter of the Qur’an. The first five verses of this sura are believed to be the first verses of the Qur’an to be revealed to prophet Muhammad. It is composed of 19 Ayat (verses or “signs”), and is traditionally believed to have been revealed at Mecca. It is sometimes also known as Sūrat al-Iqrā (إقرا, “Recite”) or Sūrat al-Qalam (القلم, “The Pen”). In this sura, God presents a concise but compelling argument: Man is a creature of wonder, beginning with its development from a biomass (or Alaq), who has been granted the gift of sentience by God. Then as a being Man divides into two distinct groups: those who recognize their cosmic condition, seek divine guidance (by ‘reading’ God’s word), and bow to God’s will (symbolized by ‘prostration’); and those who even in the face of these apparent wonders of Man’s condition, consider the Human to be an ‘independent’ entity, answerable to no transcendent authority, and even more contentiously, take it upon themselves to prevent the first class of Man from following God’s Word and submitting to him. God then states that the first type of Man, the believer, is the righteous one, and that the second class is both in error and is in fact a “lying and sinful” creature. The sura concludes with God’s warning to the denier that the “guards of Hell” await, and that such men should cease from denying the believer the right to worship unmolested by them. The sura’s last verse are words of encouragement to the believer to “not yield” to the threats of unbelievers but to continue in persistence in obeying God, and a promise of nearness to God for such a believer. QUR’AN, SURA THE CLOT, “READ!” [96.1] Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, / [96.2] Createth man from a clot. / [96.3] Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, / [96.4] Who teacheth by the pen, / [96.5] Teacheth man that which he knew not. / [96.6] Nay, but verily man is rebellious / [96.7] That he thinketh himself independent! / [96.8] Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. / [96.9] Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth / [96.10] A slave when he prayeth? / [96.11] Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) / [96.12] Or enjoineth piety? / [96.13] Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah’s guidance) and is froward? / [96.14] Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? / [96.15] Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock – / [96.16] The lying, sinful forelock – / [96.17] Then let him call upon his henchmen! / [96.18] We will call the guards of hell. / [96.19] Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).

Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) “Festival of Sacrifice” or “Greater Bairam” is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God. However, God provided a ram in place once Ibrahim demonstrated his willingness to follow God’s commands. Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. (Muslims in Iran celebrate a third, non-denominational Eid.) Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba). Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja (ذو الحجة) of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan. My Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain. All images are copyright © taiche. All Rights Reserved.

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh (Arabic: محمّد; Transliteration: Muḥammad, also Mohammed) Born in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at a young age and was brought up under the care of his uncle. He later worked mostly as a merchant, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that “God is One”, that complete “surrender” to Him (lit. islām) is the only way (dīn) acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and other prophets in Islam. Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from some tribes of Mecca; he was treated harshly and so were his followers. To escape persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622. This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina Muhammad managed to unite the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca. In 632 a few months after returning to Medina from his Farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of his death most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam and he united the tribes of Arabia into a singular Muslim religious polity. The revelations (or Ayats, lit. “Signs of God”), which Muhammad reported receiving until his death, form the verses of the Qur’an, regarded by Muslims as the “word of God”, around which his religion is based. Besides the Qur’an, Muhammad’s life (Sira) and traditions (Sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase “peace be upon him” whenever their names are mentioned.

Oh the pocketwatch… I borrowed that from my friend for about 3 months, and had a blast taking pictures of it. This one is by far my favorite. I used two ancient Korans my dad has as a background.

Solomon marshaled his forces of jinn and men and birds. He inspected his birds and said, ‘Where is the hoopoe? I cannot see him here!’ . . . The bird, who was not long in coming, said, ‘I have just seen what you know nothing of. With truthful news I come to you from Sheba.’ (Koran, Surah 27)

The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque can fit some 4,000 prayers inside its walls, and if the doors are opened, the marble courtyard can fit another 10,000. Along the inner walls there are hundreds of bookshelves holding thousands of Korans. I just couldn’t resist from opening one up and shooting it. I have never come across a translated version, and never seeked its meaning, but found this passage on the net: ‘In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. / [39.1] The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. / [39.2] Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, therefore serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience.’
