Sheeple vs Muslims

وَمن عَجَبَ الدَّهرِ أنَّ الغُرابَ يُربّى … وَصَقرُ الفَضاء يُهجَرُ

وَالنِسُورُ عَلى بُعدِها … تُطاوِلُها نَملَةٌ تَعثِرُ

فَيا لَهفَ نَفسِي مَنْ قَدَّموُا … وَيا وَيحَ رُوحي مَنْ أخَّروُا
 
Abdul Hameed Naji, Baghdad, 1974

The Sheeple

Falsehood's become true ... and chaos has spread
Liars are upheld ... and good mouths are well weld

Wisdom deserted all ... but a sleepless few
Trance became the norm ... and to reality blindness wed

No free thinking was left ... so long as they were fed
Sleep sheep most became ... buried in a borrowed bed
 
Wake up and uphold … what God’s always said:
Don’t step over others ... to reach a higher end
Love each other so ... to the Truth you’d be led
 
Ali Adams, Abu Dhabi, 2006

Frankincense and myrrh grow in the mountains of south Arabia (nowadays Yemen and Oman) and mountains of Horn of Africa (Somalia). Because of their importance in religious rituals, they were very sought after by the ancient world’s temples and as the sources were geographically concentrated, trade developed.

The trade route is ancient. It could have existed as early as 1000 BC, when Bible describes Queen of Sheba (a kingdom in south Arabia) travelling it to visit Jerusalem, where she brought gifts of spices. By Roman times the route was well established, interspersed with water stations and supported s massive volume of trade. The sea route was also sometimes used, but Red Sea was dangerous because of pirates and its trecherous weather. At the source of the route powerful cities and kingdoms thrived on taxation and trade which went as far as India and Britain. Roman territories were big consumers. Most of this trade created a deficit for Romans. Having nothing else valuable to trade, they had to give gold and silver in order to purchase the coveted spices.

Even back then: fresh drinking water was a priceless resource.

If you say so. [Someone forgot about Alexander's opium soldiers]
