There are three truisms in Johnsons life,

to Philip: Monophysites really don’t have much influence on the RoP.
Monophysites, like Nestorians, hold more of a regard for God’s “oneness” than do we Westerners with our Trinity. The difference is that the Nestorians – and especially the popular faiths of northeast Syria and northern Iraq – held that Jesus was somewhat more separate from the Father than do Trinitarians. The historical knock on the Nestorians was always that they were flirting with the Arians. I recommend for instance “The Hidden Origins of Islam” edited by Ohlig.
Monophysites – Egypt and Syria – more tend to believe that Jesus was literally God on Earth. In Egypt especially the culture pushed toward seeing God as a human king; from the Pharaohs up to the Fatimid caliph Hakim.
Given that Islam sees God as apart from the universe and Jesus as a Prophet, Ohlig sees Islam as a Nestorian heresy, decidedly as anti-Monophysite (or more anti-Monophysite!) as it is anti-Trinitarian. And there’s a whole literature on the Nestorian monk Bahira’s role in Islam’s rise.

On the Thamud, that seems to be a version of the “goose that laid the golden eggs” originally. Sura 17 isn’t about the Prophet – it’s about how the tribe killed a camel which was giving them milk. So there CAN’T be evidence of the Thamud.

“The Bedouins didn’t have a written language”: the Arabs around the Near East did have the Aramaic alphabet, in cursive form. They seem to have used it mainly for graffiti and for taking notes in trade.
The Nabataeans were Arabs who, at first, spoke Aramaic officially; but as time went on, there came to be more and more Arabic in their public monuments until at the end it’s all Arabic.
Also there were semi-civilised nations on the fringes of Byzantium and Persia: the Banu Ghassan and the Lakhmids. They did patronise culture in the form of poetry. I’m not aware of any *literature* in Arabic before the Qur’an.

Cain requested the security and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and congressional leaders approved his request Thursday, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said.
Elite agents were expected to begin protecting the former pizza company executive sometime Thursday.
Death threats against Cain, who had been experiencing a bounce in the polls, triggered his request, an official with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The official asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the situation.
Anyone wanna bet the death threats came from either the Black Panthers or the Nation Of Islam?

Wisconsin’s medical board has reprimanded seven doctors for writing fake sick notes for teachers who took time off to go to Madison to protest Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s budget cutbacks, including withdrawing public employees’ collective-bargaining rights.
The Medical Examining Board said the doctors didn’t document that they spent enough time interacting with the patients to diagnose any kind of condition before giving them excuse notes, The Cap Times in Madison reported today.
“There was no way to determine what kind of evaluation was actually made of an individual before these physicians issued their medical excuses,” Dr. Sujatha Kailas, chairman of the Medical Examining Board, said in a statement issued Wednesday.
Republican state Sen. Glenn Grothman commented on the reprimand, saying, “It is important that people have confidence in the integrity of their doctors. If a medical provider provides phony excuses for friends and political allies, how do we know these same doctors are not making up fraudulent excuses for cases involving workers compensation, personal injury claims or falsely prescribing prescription drugs?”
and yes…this goes on the doc’s records, if they are ever sued for malpractice it can be brought up as evidence that they dont follow standards of care
Crazy people don’t need protection, it’s the rest of us who need protecting from them
I think in the case of Farrakhan, who’s been a national joke since his Million Man March speech, that they might also be a danger to themselves.
Further back up the thread: I think the threats on Cain aren’t from the NoI. They’re like flat-earthers and UFO enthusiasts these days. The Panthers would be more a concern to me.
That reminds me. When I lived in San Diego and worked downtown I saw all sorts of crazy homeless people. There was this very large african-american man with a huge belly that used to lay on the sidewalk near my office with his shirt unbuttoned trying to get a nice tan on his budda belly. Well, one day after work a few of left the office to walk to a local pub and when we walked by this dude’s regular area we say him squatting at the curb beside a car with his entire ass hovering over a fresh pile of crap while holding some wadded up newspaper trying to wipe himself. In broad daylight. While dozens of passersby were walking next to him. It may have been the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen a homeless person do. And I’ve lived in a few homeless meccas such as Austin, San Diego, Boston, and New York.

I saw this once myself – the man was sitting on the edge of a bench and his pants were pulled down. He was having a nice long bowel movement for himself off the back of the bench.

No but my oldest son has it. I’m more into the military themed games, to be honest some of the games like Dead Space and Left 4 Dead scare the crap out of me.
@ John Difool:
Really? I got roped into buying it for PS3 and hated it. Then again COD sets the bar high.
I have the XBox 360 version, not sure if it’s much different on PS3 but COD is most definitely my favorite and preferred franchise, the Battlefield series of games ain’t bad either and Battlefield 3 is quite a sexy game so far.
Sort of a trick question. I just flipped my avatar. I realized that Logan was holding the gun in his left hand in my original but it should have been the right hand. Subtle but important if you have to fire the thing.
Subtle but important if you have to fire the thing.
It is? I shoot as well left handed as I do right handed. Something I only discovered recently BTW. We were at the range a couple months ago and my brothers father in law was letting me shoot his new Luger and I picked it up and started shooting it when he said to me, I didn’t know you are left handed, where upon I replied, I’m not, and then he said, then why are you shooting that left handed. That was when I noticed that I hadn’t even been aware I was shooting with my left hand.
I’m ambidextrous with a right dominance, but have never noticed before which hand I shoot a pistol from. Apparently both. Who knew???
@ doriangrey:
My dad is sort of the same way. He writes with his right hand. Shoots guns with his right or left. But only shoots a bow with his left.
The funny thing is, that I’ve been shooting pistols on and off for a good 35 years and never before noticed that I shoot with both hands. This time, the pistol was on the shooting table to my left, so I picked it up with my left and and shot with it, and would never have noticed that I was using my left hand if my brothers father in law hadn’t pointed it out to me. It was that totally unconscious of a thing.
@ doriangrey:
Are you as accurate with either side?
Well, that depends on how you define accurate. I seem to be a little better with my left to tell the truth. By way of comparison I regularly shoot a rifle 5.56/.223 at targets 200 yards away and have a 5 inch grouping.
With a pistol, 75 feet and I’m lucky to hit the target 7 out of 10 times, forget about groupings. 25 to 30 feet and I can hit center mass, and a head profile, but I am no marksman with a pistol.
Just because you have had a media blackout doesn’t mean Americans shouldn’t know what their president did down here.
Awesome, now that were subsidizing the Australian military that will free up plenty of money to use on social welfare programs just like the Europeans did during the cold war while we provided for their defense.
