Why was a 9th century Viking woman buried with a ring that says ‘for Allah
’ on it?
By Adam Taylor March 18 (Statens historiska museum / Christer Å
;hlin)
In the modern-era, Scandinavian countries have become known for their
sometimes awkward embrace of migrants from the Arab and Muslim world. But
the history behind that relationship goes back far further than you might
expect.
Consider the case of a ring discovered in ... 阅读全帖 |

630 Two years before Muhammad's death of a fever, he launches the Tabuk
Crusades, in which he led 30,000 jihadists against the Byzantine Christians.
He had heard a report that a huge army had amassed to attack Arabia, but
the report turned out to be a false rumor. The Byzantine army never
materialized. He turned around and went home, but not before extracting '
agreements' from northern tribes. They could enjoy the 'privilege' of living
under Islam... 阅读全帖 |

编者按：中国威风凛凛的崛起经常标上回归历史正常水平。普遍的说法认为在过去5000
年的大部分时间，中国是世界财富、文化、科技和权力的中心。Mitbbs.com
China’s awe-inspiring rise is often framed as the return to a historical
norm. A common belief is that for most of the last 5,000 years, China was
the world’s center of wealth, culture, technology, and power. The 19th and
20th centuries, we are told, were a brief aberration, and China is now
simply retaking its rightful place as the world’s preeminent nation.... 阅读全帖 |

Europe was an economic, military and technological backwater during the
Middle Ages, the Islamic empires—the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates—
rivaled China in size, and actually defeated China in their one military
clash (the Battle of Talas). Islamic civilization was also no slouch in
倭马亚王朝和阿拔斯在规模上无法与隋唐相提并论，阿拉伯内部的纷争战乱也更频繁，
举例而言，第二任哈里发在耶路撒冷修阿克萨大穹顶，就花光了埃及六年的赋税。而同
时期隋炀帝在修大运河。工程量不是一个数量级的。
欧洲中心论的历史学一般很难客观的比较中世纪时的阿拉伯和东亚。因为欧洲那时太穷... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 33885 | 5 最近所有来自中东的，有意思的，对美帝又很意外的消息，我觉得莫过于ISIS这个伊斯
兰武装组织攻城略地，砍头杀人，如赵子龙入无人之境，正步步逼近伊拉克的政治中心
城市，充分体现了“枪杆子里面出政权”的硬道理。最近ISIS (Islamic State from
Iraq and Syria)他们提出要将整个中东地区置于一个哈里发的统治之下。而哈里发(
Caliphate)又是什么意思呢？下面我翻译整理了几段文字,希望对中东历史不是很清楚
的同志们有点帮助。
伊斯兰国(The Islamic State)，以前叫伊拉克和黎凡特（Levant）之伊斯兰国，已经
改了它的名字。但它使用这个名称的武装组织却保持其名不变。不久前，这个武装组织
的发言人宣布，它已经建立了一个哈里发(Caliphate)，从伊拉克的迪亚拉省一直延伸
到叙利亚的阿勒颇。哈里发是一个政治制度，伊斯兰国宣称它将治理全球的穆斯林社区
。 “伊拉克”和“黎凡特”的字眼已从组织的名称中删除，以体现其
新的地位。
可这个宣布带来的问题是，伊斯兰国从来都没有过一个哈里发，大概永远也可能不会有

the Battle of Talas for the Tang dynasty against the Abbasid Caliphate but
was defeated. The earliest reference to Korea in a non-East Asian
geographical work appears in the General Survey of Roads and Kingdoms by
Estakhri in the mid-9th century.Since then, Gao Xianzhi sent first several
Muslim traders to traverse from the Caliphate to Tang China and to establish
contact with Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. |

My comment:
(a) The interpreter married a guy named Abbas, an Arabic surname, which
literally means "stern, austere." Abbas was the name of an uncle (died 652)
of the Prophet Muhammad, the ancestor of the Abbasid dynasty.

现代汉语里用来表示所有格的"的"，我的，你的，某某的... 很明显跟文言里“的”用
法不同，是不是从中亚传过来的？
中亚那边常有在名称后边加-id来指代人群的,象什么Achaemenid, Seleucid, Sassanid
, Ayubid, Abbasid 等等, 汉语是不受了波斯语的影响啊？ |
