Gross oversimplification, given the current paradigm....


How about, "Stop the Bullets, kill the gun."..because this is what will have to be done to get guns outta the hands of folks in the United States....in cases of re-loaders, they will have to stop gunpowder-

Always keep guns that have calibers manufactured for purposes of war....military rounds will never stop being produced.....

Or, you could be like the Canadians.....they don't need guns to protect their rights.....they simply don't feed their citizens violence.....although, they don't have a history like the U.S. either.....plus it's to goddamn cold for most gang-bangers....

What the hell can be done for Great Britain???? Nothing that another freekin' Dark Ages would not cure.......Get enough sympathy for 13th century religious practice in any country, and you have problems....Bon Jour, Salaam.

There were no "Dark Middle Ages"

e.g.
The 8th - 13th century Arabic Empire was not "dark"

The Mevlevi, or "The Whirling Dervishes", believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a "dance" and music ceremony called the sema. The Sema represents a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through mind and love to "Perfect." Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth and arrives to the "Perfect." He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service to the whole of creation....

Sema literally means a joyful song and comes from the Arabic word, sam that means to listen, but Sema' at whole means song (avaz), ecstasy (vajd) and dance (pay-kubi and dast-afshani) with its special rules and orders. Sema-o-raghs means the Sufism dance.

The Sema is a beautiful thing to see, there is a video of it on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S45OJnQp6mI

"The Sema Ceremony comemmerates the passing of Hz. Mevlana Jelaluddin RUMI, known in the west as a 13th-century mystic poet. He also founded the Mevlevi Sufi Order, still active worldwide 733 years after his passing from this world. This clip shows Whirling Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order of America in the Sema Ceremony in Istanbul, December 2005. We presented the Sema Ceremony in Eugene, Seattle and Portland December 2006, and will present Sema in N.Y., D.C. and New Jersey in December 2007. Further information at hayatidede.org. "
