Salafi Group for
Call and Combat
Salafi Group for Call and Combat
an offshoot of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) is
believed to be under the leadership of Hassan
Hattab since 1999. His leadership has meant a
shift of attacks from civilians to the Algerian
military. Still the assassination of popular
Berber singer Matoub Lounes in June of 1998
serves only to alienate the Salafi Group for Call
and Combat from the Algerian people. Salafi Group
for Call and Combat is believed to be part of al-Qaeda.

Serab
Serafian
The greatest workshop of 20th
century Isfahan. The best known workshop is the
Sarafian. The elder Sarafian created the design
that has become identified as the quintessential
20th century Isfahan. Sarafian was a major
workshop that popularized a style that we see in
the Serafian Isphahan
Carpet . Intricate fine work, extravagant
Islimis. Perhaps extravagant is not the right
word because it is details such as the correct
execution of a multi-plane Islimis that makes
them stand out.
"Today 26x26 is pretty
common and many higher knot count pieces coming
into Pakistan seem to be the handiwork of half
baked weavers/designers. 900 kpsi used to be
(occasionally) Uncle Habibian's and, of course,
Aghai Serafian's preserve, even his son Sadiq
rarely attempted it." New

Shemakha
Azerbaijani city. Also spelled
Samaxi.
Considered by many to be the
origin of Sumac. While it is likely they wove
Sumac there I think it is unlikely it stared
there.
Once an ancient capital and major
trading center, Samaxi was nearly destroyed over
the centuries by repeated earthquakes. Some old
buildings have survived, however, and are worth
seeing. Notable among them are a royal mausoleum,
a fortress and a 10th-century mosque. Visitors
can tour carpet factories and local vineyards
(which produce overly sweet fortified wines). 80

Sudan
The Sudanese government also
supports regional Islamic and non-Islamic

Eritrea, Uganda, and Tunisia, according to the
State Department report.
The Government of Sudan has close
ties to Osama Bin Laden and is practicing
genocide against Christians and heathens
(animists) in Souther Sudan. The Sudan oil
deposits are being developed in cooperation with
Red China.
Sudan hosted Osama Bin Laden in
Sudan 1991 – 1996. During this period Bin
Laden joined forces with Sudan leader Hassan
Turabi who has been wage war on Christians and
enslaving them in the Sudan (1992). While Bin
Laden was in Sudan he arrainged the first attach
on the World Trade Center (1993), the
assasination attempt on Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak in 1995 and the Khobar tower bombings in
1996. Finnally Sudan was forced to expell Bin

Suez Crisis,
In 1956 England Israel, and
France devised a plot to seize the Suez Canal.
Israel would fake an Invasion of Egypt which
would give England the chance to reestablish
military control over the canal. The Soviet Union
immediately countered by threatening Nuclear
attack on England with long range missiles. At
the same time the Egyptians sank ships to block
the canal and the Arabs stopped the flow of oil.
The pound sterling began to crash on the
International market and England was forced to
beg the United States for oil and monetary
support. Loftus
& Aarons. Secret War page 250 - 251. It
was at this moment the British Empire ceased to
be a world power and the age of empire ended for
England. With first India gone and now the Middle
East, England struggled to remain a major power
really retaining only the trappings and devolving
into a neo-vassal state of the US.
