Don't let the Middle East (or Texas) colonize your head, or determine whether you're warm, or mobile, and well fed. What you don't know will kill you, so stand to, by and for the people of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. As for those who claim to talk to God, tell them we have enough deluded upstarts, both in the Middle East and in America.
"I went to the East and saw many Muslims but not Islam. I went to the West and I saw Islam but no Muslims." Sayyid Jalal ad-Din al-Afghani
"Do not use my name to commit evil. If you do, I will lay waste to your soul." -Exodus 20.7
As a scientist, I can claim a few discoveries, and if these discoveries are real, then others would have found them also. This blog is BASIC in the sense of getting to the bottom of things. My most interesting discovery is the article following this first article on Egypt, titled "Land-use and Land-ownership in Islamic Civilization." (Just click on the 2010 tap on the upper left.) Here the author carefully 'lifts' from the oldest legal texts, the original land-use-ownership system (an-Nizam), seeing it as a spectrum.
The article on Egypt was written just hours after the resignation of President Mubarrak. We have been studying Egypt since Nasser's time, so were fully prepared to join the fray. While attention is focused on public unrest, we examine the present world system and propose 'institutional amendments,' so people can eat and have each a room for herself, himself, and maybe even, someday, a job. Water, too, is a looming issue/problem.
