‘Whole societies have passed away before your time, so travel about the earth and see the final fate of the deniers’ The Family of \u2018Imran: 137. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
De loin en loin, quelques personnages \u00e0 turban passaient en longeant les murs, et aucune t\u00eate de femme ne se montrait derri\u00e8re les grillages discrets des haramlikes… L’or etait un moyen de m’attacher ce va-nu-pieds, mais j’en avais peu… Puisse Allah accorder longue vie au Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid, qui fait revivre les grandes f\u00eates religieuses, les grandes solennit\u00e9s de l\u2019islam ; Stamboul illumin\u00e9 chaque soir, le Bosphore \u00e9clair\u00e9 aux feux de Bengale, les derni\u00e8res lueurs de l\u2019Orient qui s\u2019en va, une f\u00e9erie \u00e0 grand spectacle que sans doute on ne reverra plus… ‘Vive le Sultan!… vive la constitution… vive la guerre…’ enivr\u00e9s de se croire libres… et, seuls, quelques vieux Turcs qui se souvenaient du pass\u00e9 haussaient les \u00e9paules… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the turbans, women in Freiheit, gold and Sultaniyya [albeit mit constitution auf der Lauer], veiled degeneracy plus a m\u00e9lange of kabaa’ir<\/em> cum finesse of Loti, buried a stone’s throw from Abu Ayub and Ahmet Necib Fazil Kisak\u00fcrek radiAllah ‘anhuma. Less than a century and a half ago. Progress in five generations: to the R\u00e9my Martin on pavement display and glittering, volatile exchange boards, manifestly free assorted Dirndl and official loud-speaker religion sans deen, sans teeth… <\/p>\n\n\n\n King Con Korona test required in Istanbul by German authorities but not recognised on arrival in Berlin; further KCK test [far from the slick, high tech. one of Havalimani IST – test result in hours] in a military camp at Tegel, not recognised on the Baltic coast, and anyway so low-tech [no internet, test results in 3 days] as to be of no benefit. Fast-changing laws keep the officials in ignorance and some, mostly women, on their toes. A further test in five days. Kaaos at the Local Health Authorities: each official in each country in each state knew his little bit of info. – the whole puzzlepic. too boring to imagine; and in the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education for each has its own KCK parameters which may conflict, and KCK quarentine times for risk area Bavaria are shorter than risk area Turkey for example, despite having a lower case rate; even the Bild-Zeitung is not exagerrating this time, and starwar drive-ins with hazmat-suited robotic medics make for sch\u00f6ne Fotos. Pharma-Phirdaus cum mafia cum mathematical profits, the latest magic which can only really be warded of by spitting over the left shoulder, as before the staging of Macbeth. Vive the unpious Shaykhs striving with taqwa, and may the grandest of them be read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Du mus\u00e9e Hagia Sofia au Mescid Aya Sofia, va-t-il s’assoir sur le tr\u00f4ne du palais Topkapi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘Whole societies have passed away before your time, so travel about the earth and see the final fate of the deniers’ The Family of \u2018Imran: 137.
