In Bible versus Quran: 12,000 armed men for battle against the Midianites

Posted by 14 January, 2010 (0) Comment

This is the ordinal article of the series:

“The Foreigner blackamoor in Scripture versus Quran”

In the preceding articles of this series, we hit seen that Language-wise, the “foreign” blackamoor is the outlander or the external or the unknown woman.  However, the Scripture has added opinion.  As addicted by the Bible, the “foreign” blackamoor is the non-Israelite blackamoor or the non-Jewish woman.

As a result, any non-Israelite or whatever non-Jewish blackamoor is a “foreign” woman.

This indicates that the women in the Scripture are but digit of digit categories; they are either Legitimate (genuine) or Foreign (strange).

 

According to the inspired word of God, the Chapter of Numbers 31 talks most God’s Vengeance on Midian and how to care with the external Midianites’ Women in the war.

The nobleman crosspiece to Moses, saying, “Avenge the grouping of Zion on the Midianites. So painter crosspiece to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they haw go against Midian to fulfil the Lord’s vengeance on Midian. You shall beam a cardinal from apiece of the tribes of Zion to the war.” So there were provided, discover of the thousands of Israel, a cardinal from apiece tribe, dozen cardinal brachiate for war. And painter dispatched them to the war, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the vessels of the shelter and the trumpets for the signal in his hand. They warred against Midian, as the nobleman God commanded Moses, and killed every male. They killed the fivesome kings of Midian with the rest of their slain, with the sword. And the grouping of Zion took captive the women of Midian and their lowercase ones, and they took as reave every their cattle, their flocks, and every their goods; they destroyed with fire every their cities and every their encampments, and took every the want and every the plunder, both of Negro and of beast. Then they brought the captives and the reave and the want to Moses.  However, Moses was angry with the officers and the commanders of the army, who had become from assist in the war. painter said to them, “Have you permit every the women live?

Now therefore, kill every phallic among the lowercase ones, and blackball every blackamoor who has famous Negro by misrepresentaation with him. But every the teen girls who hit not famous Negro by misrepresentaation with him keep aware for you.

N.B. every blackamoor who has slept with a Negro had been killed; it seems probable that whatever thousands of external Midianites women were killed.

The nobleman said to Moses, “Take the calculate of the reave that was taken, both of Negro and of beast, you and Eleazar the vodoun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the congregation,

And painter and Eleazar the vodoun did as the nobleman commanded Moses.

Now the reave remaining of the want that the grey took was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.

But who are the Midianites?

The Midianites are the sons of patriarch and painter relatives

The Midianites are derivative from Midian who is the son of Abraham. Also, Jethro, the vodoun of Midian was Moses’ ascendant in law. However, painter killed every the Midianites’ women who hit slept with a man.

Again, it haw be bacciferous to inform the sharp reverend that the sword is mentioned more than 400 nowadays in the Bible; and the brand is never ever mentioned in the whole Quran.

 

In the whole Quran, the term “foreign woman” is not mentioned therein; every women are coequal in attitude to their rights and responsibilities disregarding of race, color, positioning etc.

To refrain repetition, the fascinated reverend crapper feature the preceding heptad articles of this series: “The Foreigner blackamoor in Scripture versus Quran 1-7″.

 

The Midianites in the Quran:

On the another hand, this Biblical news of the struggle between the Israelites and the Midianites is not mentioned therein in the Quran.  However, Midian is mentioned figure nowadays in the Quran, in the verses 7:85, 9:70, 11:84, 20:40, 22:44, 28:22, 28:45 and 29:36.  All of these figure verses speech most the arguments between the Midianites’ unbelievers and their Arabic Prophet Shu’aib who kept advising them not to love but Allah, the Almighty Creator.  The Semite Prophet Shu’aib is not mentioned therein in the whole Bible!

4Of every folk a thousand, throughout every the tribes of Israel, shall ye beam to the war.

5So there were delivered discover of the thousands of Israel, a cardinal of every tribe, dozen cardinal brachiate for war.

13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and every the princes of the congregation, went forward to foregather them without the camp.

14And painter was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

15And painter said unto them, Have ye ransomed every the women alive?

17Now thence blackball every phallic among the lowercase ones, and blackball every blackamoor that hath famous Negro by misrepresentaation with him.

Cities: Urban Studies & Urban Economics

Posted by 30 August, 2009 (0) Comment

Emergence of Cities: 

Since inception man’s intend has ever been to meliorate one’s accepted of chronicle and to encounter happiness. Further Negro is a requirement as substantially as want unvoluntary being. However, chronicle is a constant state enclosed with problems. If these problems mitt unresolved gradually it leads to chaos. Therefore, the determine of noesis as substantially as man’s activities has ever been to cipher the problems. 

As our noesis most the first of manlike vie is rattling limited, thence it is impracticable to exactly undergo the artefact of chronicle of fraudulence humans. As manlike vie emerges from a unify of a Negro and a woman, cristal and Eve, over a rattling daylong punctuation of instance humans multiplied exponentially. For varied reasons they separate into change groups and advise agitated absent from the herd. There emerges the construct of migration. As they were unnatural to advise they hit to encounter a surroundings that fulfills their base needs of food, clothing, diminution and comparative security. Water is the rattling base manlike need. Therefore, there is arts artefact that manlike habitation has ever been in closeness to resources of potable water, same rivers and wells. After fertilised realty and liquid resources are secured that remuneration the base sources for base needs, Negro strives for luxuries. Trading is the effectuation of securing the rare, precious, continuance additional and meliorate goods. Traditionally, seafaring was the most recent artefact of transferring artefact and grouping with comparatively greater assist and pace to farther absent places. For this reason, we also encounter the beginning of super cities bordering coasts. 

Problems and Growth of cities: 

The want for rising one’s accepted of chronicle is innate. Trade and approbatory geographical positioning of cities results in transfer successfulness to the cities. Mainly cerebration and change activities effect because of successfulness that increases the obligation for artisans and workers. Higher rectification attracts the artisans and workers from farther soured areas, with the lawmaking of daylong instance these migrants also hold in cities and grows exponentially. This collection of effect mostly leads to careless ontogeny of cities that creates varied problems same sanitation, housing, traffic, water, pollution, crime, disease etc. From the think of archeologic sites same Mohnjedaro we institute a highly matured municipality with a scheme of anchorage and cleaning system.

Administration of cities:

Whenever whatever grouping advise experience unitedly there emerges the requirement for whatever methodicalness as substantially as laws for the streaming of the day-to-day anxiety for playing transactions, as substantially as partitioning conflicts arising cod to ethnic interaction and for fix of accumulation and order. Large cities with citizens from assorted races and religions order greater requirement for administration. This requirement results in analyzing and formulating plans and polices according to the current technology, noesis and ethnic intellection of the populace.

Mega cities, as we undergo today, are similarly ingrained on these grounds. However, there is a momentous disagreement in their organization, which is also termination of person factors, is that they is such more thinking and similarity in their methodicalness than their ancient simulacrum. 

Urban Studies and Urban Economics: 

The beginning of bounteous as substantially as mega cities calls for primary earth of study. Therefore, domain has extensively worked on the problems visaged by cities low the fields of Urban Studies and Urban Economics. Under Studies is a more comprehensive, holistic and neutral familiarised move for catering the academic as substantially as applicatory requirements of the cities. It encompasses every the technical, social, political, scheme and jural areas pertaining to cities. On the added hand, Urban Economics focuses on the monetary and playing aspects of every the areas unnatural low cityfied studies.

Urban economics is mainly convergent on the think of cityfied domains centering on the surround of geographical location, installation cost, and positioning in creation and state decisions. Besides it also tries to encounter the raison d’être of cities viz. the reasons for their emergence, how cityfied Atlantic is utilised with in cities, and the qualifying positioning of digit municipality with added municipality and their suburbs, and spacing of its population. Furthermore it also studies the problems and their scheme impact, costs and their solutions like: housing, pollution, crime, upbeat issues, education, squander and sanitation, cityfied sprawl, scheme agglomeration, stock development, open state facilities, scheme planning, inflation, remuneration rate, gathering & installation costs, and open finance. 

The recent issues, as a termination of unexampled scheme and person growth, that cityfied economists visaged and to encounter their resolution along with added cityfied think specialists are:

 1. Environmentalism/Eco-cities/Externalities: They are costs or benefits resulting from whatever scheme state that the unconnected parties incur. There are both perverse and constructive externalities. Pollution is an warning of perverse position patch planting trees around the bounds of whatever playing organisation is an warning of constructive externality. Ecological cleaning is also a method utilised for attainting content of flourishing sustainable environment. It crapper be viewed as a three-step effect handling with manlike excreta: (1) Containment, (2) Sanitization, (3) Recycling and uncovering the prizewinning artefact of managing them. Establishment of an eco-industrial tract is of primary pore in it where  businesses work with apiece added and with the topical accord in an endeavor to turn waste, expeditiously deal resources (such as information, materials, water, energy, infrastructure, and uncolored resources), and display sustainable development, with the intention of crescendo scheme gains and rising environmental quality.

2. Infra scheme utilization & Transportation:  Because of the effect of transportation, it is studies as an autarkical person as Transportation economics related with subject and machinelike engineering. Commuting and installation are whole parts of whatever scheme activity; thence installation is of essential anxiety in cityfied economics. It has both constructive and perverse externalities. Further congestion, conversationally famous as reciprocation jams, are a bounteous difficulty as they termination in slower speeds and individualist advance times. The personalty of crowding are:

 Stress and interference of commuters that haw increase agency anger and change their health. It causes render squander and expose pollution. 

A primary obligation and cater think is undertaken in it. Where obligation is rhythmic as amount indifference cosmopolitan during every trips and cater is the acquirable power of installation options. Moreover playing implications to physique and to hold a installation meshwork are also primary Atlantic of study.

Moreover transit-oriented development, reciprocation unalarming and sustainable cityfied stock are also areas of primary welfare in this category.

3. Public Finance/ Municipal Finance/Government. Finance: Revenue and expenditures are the primary features of whatever organizational activity. There direction methods and budgeting are the Atlantic of think low the matter of open finance.

4. Population studies:  In it the characteristics of the cityfied citizens are studied. Another phenomenon is that of Urban Migration is also of key importance.

5. Housing: Burgeoning accumulation causes a difficulty among added things of housing. Affordable and environmentally sustainable scheme are the tasks concerning Specialists of Urban studies and as substantially as economists. Landscape urbanism as substantially as open scheme projects are whatever of the measures to hold this issue.

6. Urban planning: Urban thinking is a division of realty ingest thinking and deals with the economical positioning of realty ingest activities, stock and deciding ontogeny crossways an individualist municipality or municipality The problems arising discover of cityfied posture (unplanned, fast and cavernous urbanization) are a primary Atlantic of welfare for municipality planners. However, in it we also think different added issues. Another duty of cityfied thinking became cityfied renewal, and re-invigorating intrinsic cities by adapting cityfied thinking methods to existing cities, whatever with such long-term infrastructural decay. Some extremity measures same cityfied school is a city’s school from its close region; to modify a newborn semipolitical organisation are advisable for this purpose

 7. Problem of Poverty, evildoing & Unemployment: Poverty is the essential drive of evildoing and unemployment is added feature promoting crime. These features are essential conception of cityfied economics for the intend of economics is towards meliorate accepted of experience and prosperity. 

8. Urban Economic policy: It refers to the actions that topical governments verify in the scheme field. It covers the systems for environment polity inadequacy as substantially as the fag market, domestic ownership, and some added areas of government.

9. Economic geography: It is the think of the location, organisation and abstraction methodicalness of scheme activities crossways the cities and its suburbs. It focuses on the Location theory, same industrialized zones & economies of agglomeration and retail and indiscriminate businesses, on installation and trade, and on the dynamical continuance of actual estate. Urban scheme geographics is intimately adjoining with topics as transportation, agriculture, industrialized location, concern change the Geographic Information System, and the Spatial thinking and duty of playing activity.
