A collection of things
A collection of things
I've got such a backlog of things. Some are old links that I'm going to throw up here, instead of just leaving them in my inbox, which is getting crowded. The rest are things that Ali Bey's been posting to the Moorish list. I'll try and work through that and get up what I can tonight. For now though, links:
The Labadie Collection - A collection of all kinds of fringe stuff, esspecially leftist writings and images.
An article on the Cult of Hizir in Turkey
Surgical Ordnance - An article that Jesse warns is "a bit on the rose-colored side." Probably shouldn't be taken litterally.
Something I acctually found myself hunting through google one night. Copies of FBI documents concerning thier investigation of the Moorish Science Temple.
The Paradox of African-American Faith - An article about African-American Faith
Pages from some book. These pages detail the meeting between a Sudanese Missionary to the United States: Satti Majid, "Shaykh al-Islam in North America", and the Noble Drew Ali.
An interview with Robert Anton Wilson
A bit on NPR about TAZs

And that's it for the links. I've still got about 30 essays to throw up here, but that will have to wait until another time. Hopefully before the end of the week.
Today is the feast day of Khizr, the moslem patron saint of cannabis. Do what you will with this knowledge.
From the Moorish Orthodox list:
HOLY KORAN XIX:11-2111 And Jesus said, "Behold, for I am risen from the dead. Look at my hands, my feet, my side.
12 The Roman soldiers pierced my hands and feet with nails; and then one pierced my heart.
13 They put me in a tomb, and then I wrestled with the conqueror of men. I conquered death, I stamped upon him and arose;
14 Brought immortality to light and painted on the walls of time a rainbow for the sons of men; and what I did all men shall do.
15 This gospel of the resurrection of the dead is not confined to Jew and Greek; it is the heritage of every man of every time and
clime; and I am here a demonstration of the power of man."16 Then he arose and pressed the hand of every man and of the royal host, and said,
17 "Behold, I am not myth made of the fleeting winds, for I am flesh and bone and brawn; but I can cross the borderland at will."
18 And then they talked together there a long, long time. The Jesus said,
19 "I go my way, but you shall go to all the world and preach the gospel of the omnipotence of men, the power of truth, the
resurrection of the dead;20 He who believes this gospel of the son of man shall never die; the dead shall live again."
21 Then Jesus disappeared, but he had sown the seed. The words of life were spoken in Orissa, and all of India heard.
