    Added 31 Jan 2000 "Hello, My name is Igor and I am a Russian by birth. I have read a lot about Islam, I have Arabic and Chechen friends and I read a lot about the Holy Koran and its teaching. I resent the drunkenness and stupidity of the Russian society and especially the gorrilla soldiers that are fighting against the noble Mujahideen in Chechnya. I would like to become a Muslim and in connection with this I would like to ask you to give me some guidance. Where do I go in Moscow for help in becoming a Muslim. Inshallah I can accomplish this with your help." [Igor, Moscow, Russia, 28 Jan 2000] "May Allah help you brothers. I am from Kuwait. All Kuwaitis are with you. We hope for you to win this war, inshallah very soon. If you want me to do anything for you, please tell me.

  • Biu Withers by Rob Bowman He Was the Leading Figure in the Nascent Black Singer-Songwriter Movement of the Early 1970S
    PERFORMERS BiU Withers By Rob Bowman He was the leading figure in the nascent black singer-songwriter movement of the early 1970s. BILL WITHERS WAS SIMPLY NOT BORN TO PLAY THE record industry game. His oft-repeated descriptor for A&R men is “antagonistic and redundant.” Not surprisingly, most A&R men at Columbia Records, the label he recorded for beginning in 1975, considered him “difficult.” Yet when given the freedom to follow his muse, Withers wrote, sang, and in many cases produced some of our most enduring classics, including “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” “Use Me,” “Lovely Day,” “Grandma’s Hands,” and “Who Is He (and What Is He to You).” ^ “Not a lot of people got me,” Withers recently mused. “Here I was, this black guy playing an acoustic guitar, and I wasn’t playing the gut-bucket blues. People had a certain slot that they expected you to fit in to.” ^ Withers’ story is about as improb­ able as it could get. His first hit, “Ain’t No Sunshine,” recorded in 1971 when he was 33, broke nearly every pop music rule. Instead of writing words for a bridge, Withers audaciously repeated “I know” twenty-six times in a row. Moreover, the two-minute song had no introduction and was released as a throwaway B-side. Produced by Stax alumni Booker T. Jones for Sussex Records, the single’s struc­ ture, sound, and sentiment were completely unprecedented and pos­ sessed a melody and lyric that tapped into the Zeitgeist of the era. Like much of Withers’ work, it would ultimately prove to be timeless.

ANGLE ON: an IMPERIOUS CRIME LORD sipping tea at the head of a massive antique table, surrounded by his HENCHMEN. This is HAMZA (60s) head of “The Nizam,” a league of assassins. HAMZA We’re not having this discussion again. The peace with Skalnikoff and The Colony has been to everyone’s financial benefit. They take the lion’s share of western assignments, but the Nizam controls the east, and with it-- TARIK This isn’t peace. This is Skalnikoff waiting for our guard to drop, so he can strike. If you don’t come for him, he’ll come for you, father. ANGLE ON: TARIK (30s) at the opposite end of the table. He has the bearing of an ungrateful prince: controlled by his father and desperate to take his place. HAMZA I admire your ambition, my son, but you still have much to learn.

The religious foundations of his life, thought, and work were often an embarrassment to those he worked with and those who admired him. In avoiding Muste’s faith, his contemporaries and scholars alike have missed the ways his theology undergirded and motivated his life and work. At heart, Muste was a theologian.

  • The Late Medieval Background 
    Chapter 1 The Late Medieval Background Introduction grasp of the European religious scene on the eve of the Reformation is absolutely indispens- A able to understanding the multiple crises that befell Western Christendom in the sixteenth century. For it was this scene that reformers of all types protested against. Only against this back- ground can we grasp the full impact of the new theologies and confessions that now sprang to life. And only against this foil can we make judgments about what was innovative and what was tradi- tional. It is not an exaggeration to say, therefore, that the more one knows about the late Middle Ages, the better one will understand the Reformation. Yet it is a notoriously difficult matter to accurately summarize the theology, piety, and practice of so extensive a period and so vast an area. Even if we restrict ourselves to Germanic lands in the fifteenth century, we find no consensus among scholars. Where some see an exuberant flourishing of religious forms, others see only decadence and decline. What some recognize as stagnation in sub-Christian superstition, others identify as a rich and highly developed religiosity. Such judg- ments depend of course to some extent on the point of view of the observer, and students of this period do well to acknowledge their own prejudices. What is undeniable to all, however, and this becomes increasingly evident the more one studies the material, is that we are dealing here with enormous variety and complexity. On the level of popular piety one finds manifestations ranging from the exalted spirituality of the mystics to the crude, and to us strange, pious practices of the illiterate peasants.

I’m glad you enjoyed the poem. If I had a choice I would publish every poem with a recorded version and every song with its lyrics. I am sending the print version to save you having to type it. And the lines are a little different than what you might imagine from hearing alone, though I try to get the music on the page. Please do put it up at the Argotist. I’d be honored. My American accent is only one of many. You might find many American accents quite plain. What you hear in my voice is a modified southern accent, ancestry from the Carolina and Tennessee mountains, which were Scotch-Irish originally, and there’s always something of the blues singer in my voice. Hilarious, your description of the contemporary English accent. Just the mixture of those two fellows Hugh Grant and Mick Jagger is an hilarious concept. The English accent we get here is mostly by way of BBC America television. It seems to vary, but the news sounds pretty tame (although much more balanced and with much less hype than American news) and I see some of the mystery programs because my wife enjoys them. I do know an English lady here.
