  • Hostages and the Dangers of Cultural Contact: Two Cases from Umayyad Cordoba*
    MARIBEL FIERRO Hostages and the Dangers of Cultural Contact: Two Cases from Umayyad Cordoba* Hostages are captives of a peculiar sort. Rather than having been captured during war, they are in the hands of the enemy as free persons who have temporarily lost their freedom, either because they were given and kept as a pledge (for example, for the fulfilment of a treaty) or in order to act as a substitute for someone who has been taken prisoner1. The prisoner, usually an important person, can regain his or her freedom under certain conditions, usually by the payment of a ransom. When those conditions are fulfilled, the hostage is released. In the medieval period, the taking of hostages was linked to conquest, the establishment of treaties, and the submission of rebels. The Spanish word for »hostage« (rehén, pl. rehenes) derives from the Arabic root r.h.n (which produces, in Classical Arabic, rāhin, pl. rahāʾin)2, and this origin attests to the fact that the practice of taking hostages was widespread in medieval Iberia and more generally in the Mediterranean3. The Muslims had not, however, invented it4. We lack specific studies dealing with hostages in Islamic lands and the procedures related to their taking and release, as well as their life as hostages, in spite of the fact that medieval historical and, more generally, literary sources are full of references to this widespread, persistent, and accepted practice which had advantages for both par- * This paper was undertaken as part of the project »Knowledge, heresy and political culture in the Islamic West (second/eighth–ninth/fifteenth centuries) = KOHEPOCU«, F03049 Advanced Research Grant, European Research Council (2009–2014).

  • Al-Sahab Releases New Abu Yahya Al-Libi Speech on Occasion of Id Al-Fitr 2008 October 30, 2008
    Al-Sahab Releases New Abu Yahya al-Libi Speech on Occasion of Id al-Fitr 2008 October 30, 2008 [Please note: Images may have been removed from this document. Page numbers have been added.] Terrorism : Al-Sahab Releases New Abu Yahya Al-Libi Speech on Occasion of Id al-Fitr 2008 On 28 October, a forum participant posted to a jihadist website a statement issued by the Al-Sahab Media Production Organization, the media arm of the Al-Qa'ida Organization, entitled "New: Al- Sahab Presents: The Id al-Fitr Speech for 1429 by the Eminent Shaykh Abu Yahya al-Libi." The statement contained the banner advertising Al-Libi's most recent speech and numerous links to the video file. The Al-Sahab video itself is 44 minutes and 41 seconds long and in it, Al-Libi offers encouragement and incitement for all mujahidin to remain steadfast and not veer off the "path of righteousness." He urges them to continue on the path of jihad but does not refer to specific individuals except for the Egyptian president, whom he strongly rebukes for not coming to the aid of the Palestinians. Toward the end, he prays for the downfall of all those who fight against Islam, specifically the US, the coalition allies, and US President Bush, and calls upon God to humiliate him and destroy him. A translation of the speech follows: "'All that they said was: 'Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything We may have done that transgressed our duty: Establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith" (Koranic verse; Al-Imran 3:147).

  • To Bow Or Not to Bow?
    Sat 11 March 2017 / 13 Adar 5777 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Lunch and Learn To bow or not to bow? In the story of Purim, did Mordechai act properly by refusing to bow before Haman, thereby endangering all the Jews? You may have been told: Jews bow only to God. This is false. Bowing to people as a gesture of respect, honor, love, fear is allowed: -Abraham bowed to his guests: And he lifted his eyes and saw, and behold, three men were standing beside him, and he saw and he ran toward them from the entrance of the tent, and he prostrated himself to the ground. [Genesis 18:2]. -Abraham bowed to the people from whom he was buying a burial plot for Sarah: And Abraham stood up, and bowed to the people of the land, to the Hittites. [Genesis 23:7] -Jacob bowed to his brother Esau seven times: And [Jacob] bowed to the ground seven times, until he came near his brother… Then the maidservants came with their children, and they bowed down. Then Leah came with her children came and they bowed down. Then Joseph came with Rachel and they bowed down. [Gen. 33:3-7] -Joseph’s brothers bowed to him: Now Joseph was the ruler over the land and Joseph's brothers came and prostrated themselves to him, with their faces to the ground. [Genesis 42:6]. -Moses bowed to his father-in-law: So Moses went out toward Jethro, prostrated himself and kissed him. [Exodus 18:7] - The prophet Nathan bowed to King David: And they told the king: Behold: Nathan the prophet.

  • 1 the Church of St. Raphael the Archangel Lexington, Kentucky
    The Church of St. Raphael the Archangel Lexington, Kentucky Sermon for Michaelmas ~ September 30. 2012 The Reverend Ronald D. Pogue I was somewhat relieved when Fr. Johnnie told me that today we would be using the propers for the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels instead of the Sunday propers. I had been struggling to develop a sermon about faithful stewardship from the Sunday propers, which tell us about King Ahasuerus hanging Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai in response to the report of Queen Esther, James’ advice regarding anointing the sick and forgiving sins, and instructions from Jesus about cutting off hands and feet and plucking out eyes when those organs cause us to sin. Perhaps you wonder why I was relieved. You may find yourselves asking, “What do angels have to do with stewardship?” That question certainly occurred to me. And, after some careful consideration of the readings, it occurred to me that Angels are all about stewardship! For example, Jacob, the deceitful second-born twin of Isaac and Rebecca, emerged from the womb clinging to the foot of his brother, Esau. Jacob was running for his life when he had that dream in which he saw a ladder connecting heaven and earth with angels ascending and descending. He had deceived his father and cheated his hairy brother Esau out of his birthright. William J.A. Power, an Episcopal Priest and longtime professor at Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, used to refer to Esau and Jacob as “Harry and Grabby.” The story of Jacob is the story of his spiritual and psychological development.

  • SPIRITUAL GUARDIANSHIP and POLITICAL GUARDIANSHIP The
    CHAPTER TWELVE SPIRITUAL GUARDIANSHIP AND POLITICAL GUARDIANSHIP Th e occasion of Ghadir Khumm1 marked the start of profound and important developments in the world of Islam. It had an acute impact both on the theological theories and the social destiny of Muslims, and it ultimately turned into a factor that forged the greatest and most last- ing rift in their ranks. It, moreover, contributed to the development of the seminal concept of “guardianship” (wilayat), which can easily be described as the most potent and most problematic idea and concept ever to have occurred in the world of Islam. Th is is why examining this seminal concept and that important incident is among our theologi- cal and social duties, and I will try to raise a few points in this respect here. Ghadir and Some of Its Consequences As I said, the Ghadir incident had a lasting impact on the Prophet’s people both theologically and politically. Th e secret to this lay in the fact that Muslims disagreed over their reading of the incident and came up with at least two fundamental and notable interpretations, which have endured to this day, with neither abandoning the fi eld in favour of the other. Reliable historical accounts and mutawatir hadiths2 tell 1 Ghadir Khumm is the name of a location between Mecca and Medina where on his way back from his last Hajj pilgrimage, shortly before his death, Prophet Muhammad stopped to address a large gathering of Muslim pilgrims. Th ere he delivered a sermon whose content along with a Qurʾanic verse (5: 67) have been the main source of Shiʿi’s claim of Ali’s right to succeed the Prophet.

  • Series: Bible Characters Esther – (Esther 4:14B) 1. the Name “Esther
    Series: Bible Characters Esther – (Esther 4:14b) 1. The name “Esther” means “star.” Her Hebrew name is “Hadasseh” which means “myrtle.” 2. She was an orphan girl who was adopted by Mordecai her cousin (Esther 2:5-7). She was probably only 10-11 years of age when king Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes) came to throne. 3. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah deal with the remnant who returned to Jerusalem. The book of Esther takes place between Ezra chapters 6 & 7. 4. What we need to learn from the story of Esther is that no matter how bad the world’s condition is, God is still in control. I. WORLDLY SITUATIONS A. The Players. 1. At this time, Israel is no longer a nation because they have been absorbed into the most dominant power in the world at that time, Persia. 2. One of the most important people in the world at this time is a key player in this story. His name is Ahasuerus. a. He reigned in Susa. b. His empire spanned over 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. c. For six months he had the biggest party the world had ever seen. During that time, in one of his drunken stupors, he decides to show off his queen Vashti to his guests. 1) Some feel that he asked the queen to prance around naked in front of the guests. 2) She refuses to do so, and in his rage he banishes her from being queen. He regretted that later, but the law of the Medes and Persians could not be revoked, so he would need a new queen.
