LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas, where the only design rule seems to be that everything must mirror something else, is getting a new mall modeled on Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

Construction began this week on the Grand Bazaar Shops outside of Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. The 2-acre outdoor mall is expected to open next fall on the corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, in the heart of the Strip.

Developer Larry Siegel describes the project as a sanitized, glitzed-out version of a traditional Middle Eastern market.

“They’re really interesting places where people can gather, and it’s a real experience in terms of sights and sounds and smells. That’s what we’re trying to create here in a more sophisticated, modern way,” he said.

The walking mall will feature a spice market, a butcher shop and the first Swarovski store that will allow customers to haggle over crystals.

Other hyper-specific themes rolled out on the Strip this year include an Eastern European glass factory-themed theater and a China-themed casino, which is expected to include a replica of the Great Wall of China and house live pandas.

The Grand Bazaar Shops will consist of about 150 small retail spaces, half of which have already been leased. It will be competing with several other Strip malls, including the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, with about 160 stores, and the Miracle Mile Shops at the Planet Hollywood casino, with 170 stores.

The Bazaar team is not alone in betting on increased interest in Las Vegas retail. Last month, the Treasure Island hotel-casino announced it would end its free pirate show to make way for new shops, which are also expected to open in the fall of 2014.

Business has never been better at Strip malls, according to David Hoenemeyer, president of Bally’s, Paris and Planet Hollywood, all owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp.

“The customer these days is looking for more than the gaming experience,” he said. “The customer’s changed, and though gaming may be on their mind, it’s not always on the forefront.”

It remains to be seen whether tourists will brave the 107 degree heat common in the Las Vegas summer to shop at stores they could find at indoor malls a few casinos over. Hoenemeyer insists that misters will make up the difference, and says in any case, it’s dry heat.

If the concept works, Siegel, who’s developed malls in Canada and Spain, says he plans to open Grand Bazaars in other cities.

“I think people will come from all over Las Vegas and beyond to experience this,” he said.

Turkey: A Wonder of the World is in Middle of Religious Controversy

A senior Turkish minister’s call to turn Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia from a museum back into a mosque is stoking a dispute between Turkey’s Islamist-rooted government and the country’s Orthodox Christian community.

“We do hope that the Turkish government will reconsider and have to think very seriously,” warned Metropolitan Genadios of Sassima, a senior official in the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, one of the world’s 14 autocephalous Orthodox Christian communities.

For over 900 years, Hagia Sophia (“Holy Wisdom” in Greek), built in 537, was Christendom’s most important church. But when Constantinople (as Istanbul was then called), fell to the Ottomans in 1453, it became a mosque, and for nearly 500 years it ranked among the Ottoman Empire’s grandest places of worship. In 1935, the founders of Turkey’s secular republic sought transformed Hagia Sophia into a museum.

The iconic building continues to carry important political significance. “The Islamists have always aspired for it to be a mosque,” while Turkish secularists want it to remain “a neutral place,” and Christians see it as a church, noted İştar Gözaydin, a professor of law and politics at Istanbul’s Doğuş University, and an expert on the relationship between the state and religion.

Until Turkey’s governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power in 2003, the chances of Hagia Sophia reverting to a mosque were slim to none. But with the country’s Islamic heritage now experiencing a revival after decades of government-imposed secularism, the prospect is not entirely unlikely.

On a November 16 trip to Hagia Sophia, Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç, who oversees policy toward historical buildings that once belonged to religious minorities, declared to television reporters that “[t]he days of a mosque being a museum are over.”

With the country heading into an 18-month election-cycle in 2014, politics are believed to have motivated Arınc’s statements. In campaign speeches for next March’s municipal elections, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is drawing heavily on the country’s Ottoman past. The message is aimed at both religious and nationalist voters, key AKP constituencies.

The strategy could well prove a vote-winner.

“God willing, it will be a mosque,” said one teenager, leaving Hagia Sophia recently. “Fatih Sultan Mehmet wanted this. When he conquered Istanbul, the first thing he did was to convert it into a mosque. That’s why it should be a mosque again.”

Deputy Prime Minister Arınc has the reputation of a political maverick, a man prone to making incendiary statements that are not always followed up on by the government. But the fact that Arınc’s name also has been linked to the mosque-makeover of two other church-museums also named Hagia Sophia (in Iznik and Trabzon) means that even the mention of a similar fate for Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia has sparked alarm among the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul.

“We are surprised and not surprised with this statement,” said Metropolitan Genadios of Sassima, in reference to Arınc’s comments. “I don’t want to believe our Turkish authorities said this in a concrete way or that they realized the consequences of this decision to open Hagia Sophia as a place of worship [for Muslims]. Hagia Sophia, for Christians and [the] Orthodox . . . represents for us a monument of Christianity.”

The Orthodox Church has powerful international allies, and a visit to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew often features on the itineraries of visiting foreign leaders and ministers.

In the coming months and years, some observers believe the status of Hagia Sophia will become part of a wider controversy between Greece and Turkey over religious freedom. The Turkish government is increasingly challenging Athens over what it sees as restrictions put on the religious practices of Greece’s tiny Turkish minority, believed to make up most of the country’s miniscule Muslim minority of roughly 100,000 people. Ankara has retaliated by refusing to reopen the Halki, a Greek Orthodox seminary near Istanbul, which was expected to reopen as part of a broad democratization package announced in October.

Greece, which sees Byzantium as part of its cultural heritage, declared last month that statements “about converting Byzantine Christian churches into mosques are offending the religious feelings of millions of Christians.”

Officials in Ankara scoff at such statements as hypocritical. “Athens is in no position to question us, considering Athens is the only capital in Europe that does not have a mosque, even though there is a large Muslim community [in Athens],” said foreign ministry spokesperson Levent Gümrükçü.

Amid diplomatic rancor and Turkey’s own charged political atmosphere, Hagia Sophia’s fate is far from clear. “We now live in unpredictable times,” sighed Metropolitan Genadios.

Istanbul sets off Twitter storm after jailing Internet ‘troll’

Cihat Akbel convicted after he launched a hashtag campaign against singer Aylin Aslim.

Middle East Online

Outspoken critic of the government

ISTANBUL – An Istanbul court set off a Twitter storm Thursday after it handed a five-month suspended jail term to an Internet “troll” for threatening a popular Turkish rock singer.

Cihat Akbel, known for his provocative tweets, was convicted after he launched a hashtag campaign against singer Aylin Aslim, saying: “We must go to her concert and throw a sickle at her head.”

The court said Wednesday that Akbel had committed an “Internet crime”, in the latest judicial ruling in Turkey over social media posts.

But Akbel denounced the sentence, which he said followed an 18-month trial, declaring on Twitter Thursday: “I didn’t mean to threaten anyone.”

The court decision also caused an outcry on Twitter, with hundreds tweeting in support for Akbel.

“Some people just go over the top. The decision is too harsh,” wrote one user, Burak Uslu.

German-born Aslim, 35, is an alternative rock singer and an outspoken critic of the government.

In September an Istanbul court issued a 10-month suspended jail term to world-renowned pianist Fazil Say over Twitter posts deemed religiously offensive.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government has often launched attacks on social media and used the courts to silence his opponents, adding to concerns about rights in a country which has long sought to join the European Union.

Turkey’s Rock and Roll Imam Under Investigation

By Thomas Seibert

Turkish authorities are investigating whether the imam of a Mediterranean mosque can continue his rock band, or whether the genre is incompatible with Islam.

ISTANBUL—Is rock music incompatible with Islam? That’s the question facing the preacher of a small village mosque in southern Turkey, who is under official investigation for singing in a band in his spare time.

Religious authorities have launched an investigation into whether Ahmet Muhsin Tuzer, 42, can keep his job as imam in the mosque of Pinarkoy, a hamlet of some 80 people near the town of Kas on the Mediterranean coast. In Pinarkoy, Tuzer calls the faithful to prayer over a public address system at his mosque and leads the community in five daily prayers. There have been no complaints about his conduct in his main job, but his hobby has made religious leaders uneasy.

“I have heard that the decision will come in two to three weeks,” Tuzer said by telephone from Pinarkoy last week. Whatever the verdict will be, “I will continue to play music.”

Tuzer’s career as a rock singer took off in August when he performed his first and, so far, only concert with his band, FiRock, in Kas, drawing around a thousand people as well as reporters and camera teams that turned the “Rocking Imam”, as he is now called, into a minor celebrity.

Fuzer cheerfully admitted that the concert was designed “to make us well-known,” but insisted that there was more to his hobby than just PR. “If music reaches people’s hearts and fills them with beautiful ideas, then it is an act of worship,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what kind of music it is or what kind of instruments you play, it’s the intention that counts.”

Tuzer said his band’s music did not contain references to Satan, sex or violence. “We don’t play Death Metal, you know.”

One of his songs, “Come to God”, is about man’s search for religious enlightenment. The video clip for the song shows the band performing against the backdrop of Istanbul’s Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia, a sixth-century church that was later turned into a mosque and is a museum today.

FiRock recorded its first album, “Time for Change”, in Istanbul and hopes to release it in the coming weeks, Tuzer said. “The album will resonate around the world.”

The album’s scheduled release coincides with the expected decision on Tuzer’s future as Imam.

All of Turkey’s 80,000 mosques, including Tuzer’s village mosque in Pinarkoy, are run by the Directorate for Religious Affairs, or Diyanet in Turkish, a state agency with more than a hundred thousand employees and a multi-billion dollar budget. Imams like Tuzer are civil servants and bound by the rules of the Diyanet headquarters in the capital, Ankara.

Tuzer said his band’s music did not contain references to Satan, sex or violence. “We don’t play Death Metal, you know.”

When Tuzer’s musical ambitions became public, the Diyanet sent an inspector to Pinarkoy and Kas to interview the imam and local people. “He even talked to atheists in the bars of Kas”, Tuzer said. He added that he understood the Diyanet’s need to probe his hobby.

It is not the first time Tuzer’s behaviour has raised eyebrows in the religious bureaucracy. While working in a mosque in Istanbul in 1997, he met his future wife, Oana Mara, who was a Christian at the time. Tuzer said he resisted pressure to make her convert to Islam. “I don’t have the right to interfere,” he said, adding that Oana Mara became Muslim three years ago of her own free will. The couple has an 11-year-old son.

Tuzer said he founded FiRock in May and went into rehearsals for the concert in Kas. Rock music of different stripes is wildly popular in Turkey and can sometimes have political undertones.

When Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd member, performed his “Wall” album in Istanbul in August, he commented on the anti-government unrest that swept Turkey earlier in the summer and was applauded when he spoke of “state terror”.

In 2009, five rock fans waiting outside the entrance to a festival in Istanbul were detained by police after they were seen giving the sign of the horns, a salute of heavy metal fans, near the passing convoy of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The signs were interpreted by police as an insult to Erdogan, but the fans were later released.

For Tuzer, things may not be that easy. Mustafa Aydin, deputy director of the Diyanet branch in Antalya province, reminded the “Rocking Imam” in September that hobbies—which would be regarded as normal in other jobs—could lead to problems in his case. “Being an imam is not an ordinary profession,” Aydin said.

While religious experts in Ankara ponder the question of what to do with Tuzer, the “Rocking Imam” and his band plan their next career steps. “We want to play all over the world,” he said. Niki Kaiser, an artist in Oakland, CA, offered help to set up concerts in the United States, he said, although no dates had been confirmed yet. “All this will come after the album has been released,” he said.

Religious authorities in Ankara have not commented on the outcome of their probe, but Tuzer said it was possible that they would ask him to give up rock music. “They may say that if they allow me to go on, they will have to deal with a Jazz imam or a Rap imam next time,” he said. “It would mean they have no control anymore.”

But Tuzer said he would not accept such a result without a fight. “I will take them to court if they decide that way,” he said.

The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Long

Bu bilgi Vietnam savaşından beri gizlenmiştir.
Saç hakkındaki gerçek ve neden Kızılderililer saçlarını kesmezler

United Truth Seekers

© Black Elk

This information about hair has been hidden from the public since the Viet Nam War .

Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and/or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in the Vietnam war however, an entirely different picture emerged, one that has been carefully covered up and hidden from public view.

In the early nineties, Sally [name changed to protect privacy] was married to a licensed psychologist who worked at a VA Medical hospital. He worked with combat veterans with PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. Most of them had served in Vietnam.

Sally said, “I remember clearly an evening when my husband came back to our apartment on Doctor’s Circle carrying a thick official looking folder in his hands. Inside were hundreds of pages of certain studies commissioned by the government. He was in shock from the contents. What he read in those documents completely changed his life. From that moment on my conservative middle of the road husband grew his hair and beard and never cut them again. What is more, the VA Medical center let him do it, and other very conservative men in the staff followed his example.

As I read the documents, I learned why. It seems that during the Vietnam War special forces in the war department had sent undercover experts to comb American Indian Reservations looking for talented scouts, for tough young men trained to move stealthily through rough terrain. They were especially looking for men with outstanding, almost supernatural, tracking abilities. Before being approached, these carefully selected men were extensively documented as experts in tracking and survival.

With the usual enticements, the well proven smooth phrases used to enroll new recruits, some of these Indian trackers were then enlisted. Once enlisted, an amazing thing happened. Whatever talents and skills they had possessed on the reservation seemed to mysteriously disappear, as recruit after recruit failed to perform as expected in the field.

Serious causalities and failures of performance led the government to contract expensive testing of these recruits, and this is what was found.

When questioned about their failure to perform as expected, the older recruits replied consistently that when they received their required military haircuts, they could no longer ‘sense’ the enemy, they could no longer access a ‘sixth sense’, their ‘intuition’ no longer was reliable, they couldn’t ‘read’ subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information.

So the testing institute recruited more Indian trackers, let them keep their long hair, and tested them in multiple areas. Then they would pair two men together who had received the same scores on all the tests. They would let one man in the pair keep his hair long, and gave the other man a military haircut. Then the two men retook the tests.

Time after time the man with long hair kept making high scores. Time after time, the man with the short hair failed the tests in which he had previously scored high scores.

Here is a Typical Test:

The recruit is sleeping out in the woods. An armed ‘enemy’ approaches the sleeping man. The long haired man is awakened out of his sleep by a strong sense of danger and gets away long before the enemy is close, long before any sounds from the approaching enemy are audible.

In another version of this test the long haired man senses an approach and somehow intuits that the enemy will perform a physical attack. He follows his ‘sixth sense’ and stays still, pretending to be sleeping, but quickly grabs the attacker and ‘kills’ him as the attacker reaches down to strangle him.

This same man, after having passed these and other tests, then received a military haircut and consistently failed these tests, and many other tests that he had previously passed.

So the document recommended that all Indian trackers be exempt from military haircuts. In fact, it required that trackers keep their hair long.”

Comment:

The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of human and animal at times seem almost supernatural. Science is constantly coming up with more discoveries about the amazing abilities of man and animal to survive. Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body as a whole.The body has a reason for every part of itself.

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved ‘feelers’ or ‘antennae’ that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brain stem, the limbic system, and the neocortex.

Not only does hair in people, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then rephotographed after the hair is cut.

When hair is cut, receiving and sending transmissions to and from the environment are greatly hampered. This results in numbing-out .

Cutting of hair is a contributing factor to unawareness of environmental distress in local ecosystems. It is also a contributing factor to insensitivity in relationships of all kinds. It contributes to sexual frustration.

Conclusion:

In searching for solutions for the distress in our world, it may be time for us to consider that many of our most basic assumptions about reality are in error. It may be that a major part of the solution is looking at us in the face each morning when we see ourselves in the mirror.

The story of Sampson and Delilah in the Bible has a lot of encoded truth to tell us. When Delilah cut Sampson’s hair, the once undefeatable Sampson was defeated.

Reported by C. Young

Comment: SOTT can’t confirm this story or the research it suggests took place, however, we have wondered on many occasions, what is the use of hair and why so many legends refer to hair as being a source of strength, from Samson, to Nazarenes, to the Long Haired Franks.

Islamists in Turkey Think About Sex—A Lot

A look at some of the more interesting views spouted by Turkey’s political and cultural leaders

Turkey’s Islamists are obsessed with sex, and no one typifies this obsession more completely than Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan isn’t shy about meddling in private lives, promoting an Islamic way of life in hopes of raising a “religious generation.”

What do you think about the sex lives of the Turkish? Tweet to us!

He regularly encourages families to have “at least three children” and avoid C-section births. He’s also the first politician in Turkey’s history to openly take an anti-abortion stance. Most recently, he spoke about theperils of coed living—in college dorms and private apartments.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan never passes up a chance to dispense religious advice.

But Erdogan isn’t the first Islamist in Turkey to constantly cause controversy with his remarks on the lifestyle choices of his citizens. In fact, it’s a popular topic frequently visited by his fellow Islamist thinkers. Below, some of Turkey’s most eye-opening stances on sex and equality:

“I Offered Another Friend to My Husband”

Sibel Üresin is totally cool with polygamy.

Sibel Üresin, a self-dubbed Islamist life coach who rose to fame—and notoriety—in Turkey with her provocative statements on women’s issues. A vocal advocate of polygamy, her sentences speak for themselves:

• “Rich men with solid careers and lots of sexual power can sometimes choose polygamy. No woman would ever become the second wife of a poor man. Men chase women who are more flirtatious, laugh more and who can satisfy them sexually. If I were a man, I would have been polygamous,” she said in May 2011.

• “I offered a single friend of mine to my husband. ‘If you liked her and also want to marry her [as your second wife], it’s OK with me,’ I told him. But he didn’t accept my offer. Even if he did, I wouldn’t have divorced him,” she said in July 2012.

• “Women talk ceaselessly. It is the woman’s fault if she is killed. Really, I know some women that never shut up. It is very normal that her husband’s going to go crazy,” she said in May 2013.

It’s Acceptable to Marry Your Adopted Kid

If Woody Allen were a Muslim, perhaps his marriage to Sun-Yi Previn wouldn’t be that big of a deal. While Turkish law currently prohibits marrying your adopted child, the issue has been hotly debated within Turkey’s Presidency of Religious Affairs, a government branch that provides and regulates religious services in the country. In 2007, İsmail Karagöz, an Islamic scholar and member of the council, said, “When the adopted kid grows up, he or she becomes a stranger to the parent.” In other words, it is acceptable, according to Islam, to marry your adopted child.

Father-to-Son Penis Transplants

The Presidency of Religious Affairs deemed organ transplants to be not only religiously acceptable, but also crucial. Yet, its statement didn’t satisfy one Islamist writers who argued against the idea that the bodily organs won’t matter when Judgment Day comes.

Mevlüt Özcan, the ultra conservative writer for Milli Gazette, an Islamic daily, offered this mind-boggling scenario as a rebuttal, just last week:

“Let’s think for a second that a husband’s sister’s genitalia is transplanted to his wife? It’s a very dangerous situation. The same applies to men. What will happen when a father’s [penis] is attached to the son’s body? How will that son approach his own wife? Who will be responsible for that organ’s sins?”

76-Year-Old Writer and a 14-Year-Old Girl

The Turkish daily Yeni Akit is an advocate of Islamic law, with a track record of anti-Semitism, anti-secularism and anti-modernism.

Hasan Karakaya is a religious newspaper man with an edge.

Although its circulation is low, its provocative stories cause a lot of negative buzz. The paper’s editor-in-chief, Hasan Karakaya, is regular fixture inside Erdogan’s inner circle and accompanies him on state visits. Yeni Akit also has a tainted history of hiring sex offenders as columnists. One of them is Hüseyin Üzmez.

In 2009, he was charged with sexually abusing a minor and sentenced to 13 years in prison. The 76-year-old Üzmez had been arrested on charges of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl, with her mother’s knowledge. “A girl who has reached puberty, who’s having periods, is of age according to our beliefs,” he once said.

But hey, older men with teenage girls isn’t so radical considering current President Abdullah Gül, now 63, was 30 when he married Hayrünnisa Gül, when she was 15.

Abdullah Gul and his wife, Hayrünnisa, have been together since she was 15. Here they are with the leader of Norway and his wife.

Pregnant Women Should Just Stay Home

During the month of Ramadan this summer, a religious scholar named Ömer Tugrul Inancer appeared on the state-owned TRT network and claimed that it is immoral for pregnant women to appear in public. “They should not walk around on the streets with huge bellies,” he argued. “First of all, it’s not aesthetic. It’s disgraceful, it’s immorality.”

When his remarks caused an outrage among Turkish women, Inancer stood by his words: “[Getting pregnant] can not be the reason to swing your belly. What don’t you understand, it’s not aesthetic…. That’s why young girls are scared of giving birth.” Oh, he also added that maternity leave was for women to “stay at home, not wander around.”

In another TV appearance in September, Inancer argued this time that “working women cause marriages to fall apart.” He explained, “Women serve their bosses, instead of their husbands.”

The Coed Campus That Nearly Derailed a Minister

Founded by Americans in 1863, The Bosphorus University has one of the most attractive campuses in the Turkey. Its grassy spaces are packed with students on sunny days. However, the site of young men and women together was too much to handle for Turkey’s current Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Binali Yildirim.

During a speech in late January, he said: “Somebody told me about Bosphorus University, the many opportunities the school provides, such as employment in the States after graduation. I became confused and visited the campus. It was a different world there, as if entering a different country. Even the buildings were unique. And then young people, girls and boys together, were sitting on the lawn! I was shocked. ‘I will go off the road here,’ I thought.”

Since then, #boysgirlstogether has become a popular Twitter hashtag and a running joke among Turkey’s millennials.

Gender Equality Leads to Third Gender

The conservative writer Ali Bulaç, whose work appears in the Turkish daily Zaman, a paper with more than 1 million subscribers, once claimed that gender equality is “ruining this world” and “women are becoming more like men.”

He believes that a woman’s primary duty is to raise children and stay at home. He also believes that gender equality causes homosexuality: “If you try to upend male-female relationship with affirmative action or gender equality, you cause the families to dissolve, sexual deviances to occur and pave the way for the third gender.”
