Text of the page (random words):
oad baptist church and chancellor of his father jerry falwell s liberty university jonathan replaced his brother jerry falwell jr who resigned after a sex scandal there are also charismatics including paula white a spiritual advisor to trump who seems to know more about glossolalia than the gospels there are two catholic bishops one of whom is the conservative catholic timothy dolan who pope leo recently replaced as archbishop of new york a black senator and a nigerian singer are also part of the show but no major african american pastor was invited i did not find any speakers from the mainline protestant sects including episcopals lutherans methodists presbyterians and united church of christ nor are there any latter day saints or jehovah s witnesses the only jewish speaker is orthodox rabbi meir soloveichik who offered prayer at the last republican convention there are no hindu or sikh speakers not only are there no muslim speakers but one of the main stars is franklin graham who has made his father billy graham s foundation an ultra conservative political tool graham s vitriolic hatred of islam has a long history including calling it a a very evil and wicked religion graham not only supports trump s war on iran but has the delusion that the church in iran is among the fastest growing in that part of the world he insists that more iranians have become christians in the last two decades than the entire 1 300 years since islam arrived in persia at last year s pentagon christmas worship service graham told the military personnel assembled that god is not just about love but also a god of hate and war featured as a main speaker is pete hegseth identified as the 29 th united states secretary of war actually since we have not had a department of war since 1949 this number is off hegseth has promoted the war in iran as a christian duty with god on our side this echoes the call of his religious advisor douglas wilson who argues that america should be a christian nation and christianity should dominate the world wilson also thinks women should not be allowed to vote nor be in the military although it is not clear what kind of prayer hegseth will ask for in his talk he will probably not ask forgiveness for his previous adultery and drunken behavior i grew up in a small fundamentalist baptist church in northern ohio where my father often led the wednesday night prayer service i heard lots of sincere prayers from the elders but none calling for god to kill someone we were told that god hated sin but jesus died so that sinners do not need to be killed they would be judged by god it was common practice to pray for the american president no matter which party he came from this small church supported two local missionaries who went to india and africa to save souls not to judge them every once in awhile there was an evangelistic service in which we were told to invite our unbeliever i e not baptist friends so the holy spirit could convict their hearts when a bible verse was read this has been the teaching of fundamentalists and evangelicals for a long time the proposed national prayer vigil is a politically glorified evangelistic service by ultra conservative christian nationalists it is not going to be a prayer ritual for peace justice or tolerance the special message that will be read by trump who apparently will not attend in person will have been written by an aide for a man who has never read the bible and certainly has no desire to do so there is a scriptural passage which well defines this national display streamlining sunday across the country beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves matthew 7 15 kjv there are many different kinds of sheep in our country both those who are religious and those who do not belong to a formal religion a good shepherd the kind that anyone who recites psalm 23 knows by heart is one who protects all the sheep not just a select few that is the founding principle of the united states a separation of church and state that prevents the state from defining which religion is best rededicate 250 is a non sequitor since our country has never been dedicated to a specific religious sect make no mistake this call for freedom is not about being free to worship or not worship who you please sunday s call for prayer is clothed in religious rhetoric but there is nothing sheepish about it a good shepherd knows that wolves want to devour the sheep the whole point of sunday s state sponsored event is to promote a specific religious view that disenfranchizes the majority of american citizens evangelicals not all of whom support trump represent less than a quarter of the population the goal is to indoctrinate not to provide a meaningful forum for the wide range of religious and spiritual views throughout our entire history as a nation this event must be seen as nothing more than a wolf call for christian nationalism ignoring one of the very reasons our country was founded to prevent this attack on freedom of and from religion anthropology of art tattoo healing and armored knight may 1 2026 anthropology sociology contemporary art eelaswad el sayed el aswad anthropology of arts studies different forms of art in different cultural contexts rather than tackling merely the ethical and beatific aspects of arts it examines how artistic forms objects and performances represent cultural symbols indigenous worldviews social structures political power and national identities this article focuses on a sort of participation connection and installation that blurs the line between the art of creative objects and the art of exceptional painting of creative objects while john macintyre an artist armored knight and musician represents the first liu xiaodong a renowned chinese neo realist painter represents the second as john sat as a subject of liu painting there developed a deep mutual artistic appreciation between both of them as is shown below the artwork signifies the spatiotemporalization of both the creative and painted objects in 2007 i interviewed john tackling his work on tattooing that appeared in the essay of inscribing the body tattoos in traditional and modern cultures in tabsir insight on islam and the middle east 12 9 2007 https tabsir net p 409 more 409 as well

arbor mi april 2026 the author with john april 2026 life s opportunities depend not only on who the individual is but also on where the individual begins or grows up and continues his experiences john was born in coventry england before coming to the usa his early experiences provided him with the gift of intercultural communication and he has since participated in various international armored knight combats in denmark scotland czech republic and italy his team achieved a gold medal in italy for almost 30 years john macintyre has been practicing the art of tattoo both personally and professionally in 2019 he moved from los angeles where he was associated with the trendy la ink tv show to ann arbor michigan where he continued work as tattoo professional https namebrandtattoo com john on july 30 2022 i was invited by john to attend an armored knight competition in frankenmuth mi in which he was participating and enacting according to john the competition is known as hmb historical medieval battle or buhurt derived from the french word béhourd that means joust or tournament the picture below shows john resting after a long and challenging armored battle resting knight john july 2022 on april 15 2026 an art project host with reference to john was launched at the lisson gallery los angeles usa april 15 june 13 2026 in which liu xiaodong was participating anthropologically or ethnographically in the painting of john s artistic practices of tattooing and armored knight combating https www lissongallery com artists liu xiaodong the painting entitled john and his tattoos represents john as a firm muscular and determined figure in both his face and body particularly his right hand with a solid fist it signifies cosmic mythical symbolism with stars on the chest and fabled face on his belly john and his tattoos 2025 one of liu s most impressive and beautiful paintings called ice clouds depicts four knights including john with his reddish brown coat of plates combating amidst snow and freezing ice here the sport of armored knight competition signifies the culture of heroic hand to hand combat and related themes of strength honor warrior ethos and sacrifice as represented by dynamic intense ready to fight poses and colorful high contrast images of medieval knighthood ice clouds 2005 as an anthropologist i see the painting body as representing an intense healing process in which john looks immersed in treating the patient in a word this remarkable painting reveals the profound compassion the soothing practice of healing the sensibility of the host tattoo practitioner the attentiveness of the guest painter the subjectivity and mutual experience of human affections and culture bound symbols contextualized by the artists for me john was depicted as a doctor mystic saint sage and philosopher descended from the archetypes of transformation body 2026 john with liu xiaodong at the lisson gallery there was also a documentary of john s multiple artistic gifts including performing music playing on guitar which was not depicted in the painting but a modified copy of his performance is shown here john playing the guitar the art project host successfully executed by a cooperative and innovative team led by greg hilty partner and curatorial director at lisson gallery purported or intended to feature the city of detroit a city akin to the industrial region of dongbei liu s homeland th next step is to look for an initiative for future collaboration bringing together the artwork of both liu xiaodong and john macintyre within a platform potentially in both the lisson gallery and the detroit institute of arts dia the author middle with greg and xiaodong lexicon of fish and marine species april 29 2026 animals bahrain food and

previous post i mentioned the visit to yemen in 1891 by an italian traveler after a journey that took him through tunis and egypt his name is g b rossi and his nei paesi d islam was published in 1897 with some 70 drawings here are some of the illustrations of yemenis at that time a visit to yemen in 1884 part 1 april 21 2026 orientalist images travel uncategorized yemen tabsir most scholars who have read about the many travelers to yemen in the past are well aware of the italian renzo manzoni whose 1884 el yemen records his visit to ottoman yemen in 1877 1878 this travel account has even been translated into arabic a little more than a decade later in 1891 another italian visited yemen after a journey that took him through tunis and egypt his name is g b rossi and his nei paesi d islam was published in 1897 with some 70 drawings it is a popular account drawing on earlier works of yemen along with his own personal anecdotes about his visit which he notes was at a time when there was tension between the ottomans and the imam for a flavor of his writing consider the following near the start of his discussion on yemen rossi provides a map about his journey among other items is a list of the altitudes of yemen s main towns at the time what makes this text worth looking at is the number of illustrations i attach one below and will follow up with more posts of the illustrations to be continued if only abraham had known april 20 2026 bible and holy land humor and satire tabsir a fable dedicated to mark twain and all who really understand what it means to suffer abraham was sitting just inside his tent flap near the oaks of mamre he was getting on in years and his son ishmael would soon have to take over the family herds so it was time to think about buying a burial site perhaps the cave that hittite had offered over near hebron then he lifted up his eyes and three men stood before him and though he did not realize it at the time these were angels sent from god abraham said one of the angels god wants you to know what is going to happen to your descendants over the next three or four thousand years so we are here to tell you are you sitting down abraham was used to the flamboyance of this one god so he made sure he stayed close to the ground first of all said another angel your wife sarah is going to have a son i know she is a hundred years old and will probably think this is some kind of joke but let me tell you that god doesn t fool around when it comes to sex you have to call this son isaac and then just when you think things are going alright god is going to ask you to take isaac up on a mountain and kill him as a sacrifice abraham decided to keep quiet maybe there was more the second angel continued now god doesn t really want you to kill isaac he just wants to test you so don t worry the boy will grow up and have two sons who will fight like hell over their inheritance the younger son whose name is going to be jacob will trick his brother and go on and give you great and not so great grandsons who will become the twelve tribes of israel which people will start calling jews they will be slaves in egypt for awhile and then wander around in the wilderness for forty years but eventually they will come back here to canaan blow their horns and slaughter the locals with my blessing are you with me abraham nodded but was not sure what to say yet alright let s get on with it then there will be a few good years with a couple of kings named david and solomon these guys will be household names for years afterward but because most of your your children will be stubborn and rebellious god will send several prophets to tell them to shape up when they worship other gods then he has no coice but to have barbaric hordes of assyrians and babylonians destroy the whole kingdom of israel people will be trying to figure out what happened to some of the twelve tribes until the end of time a few of the exiled jews will come back and rebuild the temple god has plans to settle down in a real house sometime you know but basically things will go from bad to worse after a few centuries the romans will knock down the temple again before this one of your descendants named jesus will say he is god s only son and start a whole new religion called christianity the jew...
