  • Lesson for George Bush from Arab Economist Ibn Khaldun?

    Abū Zayd ‘Abdu r-Raḥman bin Muḥammad bin Khaldūn Al-Hadrami

    Ibn Khaldun starts the Muqaddimah with a thorough criticism of the mistakes regularly committed by his fellow historians and the difficulties which await the historian in his work. He notes seven critical issues:

    "All records, by their very nature, are liable to error...

    ...Partisanship towards a creed or opinion...

    ...Over-confidence in one's sources...

    ...The failure to understand what is intended...

    ...A mistaken belief in the truth...

    ...The inability to place an event in its real context

    ...The common desire to gain favor of those of high ranks, by praising them, by spreading their fame...

    ...The most important is the ignorance of the laws governing the transformation of human society."

    When civilization [population] increases, the available labor again increases. In turn, luxury again increases in correspondence with the increasing profit, and the customs and needs of luxury increase. Crafts are created to obtain luxury products. The value realized from them increases, and, as a result, profits are again multiplied in the town. Production there is thriving even more than before. And so it goes with the second and third increase. All the additional labor serves luxury and wealth, in contrast to the original labor that served the necessity of life. [9]

  • Is it true that Crescent and the star came to Muslim through First Christian Byzantium Emperor Constantine I?

    Because I always thought that it originated in Turkey due to the Turk-Mongol shamanism influence?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantium#The_Flag_of...

    The Flag of Byzantium

    In 670 BC, the citizens of Byzantium claimed the crescent moon as their state symbol, after a battle whose victory they attributed to Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt. Her symbol was the crescent moon. [1]. However, the origin of the crescent moon and star as a symbol dates back much earlier - to ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt [2] [3]. Nevertheless, Byzantium was the first governing state to use the crescent moon as its national symbol. In 330 AD Constantine I added the Virgin Mary's star to the flag.

    It has been claimed that, when the city fell to the Ottomans in 1453, they saw this flag with the Crescent all over Constantinople, and adopted it as their own. The Turkish Flag, and many others Muslim have adopted it since.

    The crescent moon and star were not completely abandoned by the

    Do you agree that Saddam was an enemy to Sunni Kurds, Shiite South & Al Qaida? And to anyone who can challenge to his dictatorship. Initially Saddam was a Socialist. After getting over power became a mad cruel dictator. He would never allow to be removed by Extremist of Al Qaida same like today current Saudi Kings will hang (if get a chance) each and every Al Qaida devoted member. They will do this for not to please the world or BushCo but to save their Kingship and rule.

    First Iraq war made out cry in Muslim world generally and in extreme groups specifically which propelled Al Qaida from a mixed organization of extremism & terrorism to full-fledged terrorism entity.

    Bush went on to insist that while he will not rule out military action against North Korea or Iran, "Diplomacy hasn't run its course, and we'll continue working to give diplomacy a full opportunity to succeed."
