A New Hope

[akaihyo]

Ben Baugh lent us his remastered version of the original STAR WARS trilogy (wide-creen of course) and we watched Star Wars (or Episode IV: A New Hope, if you prefer). Still such a wonderful movie, even if some of his re-editing to update the special effects fall a bit flat. Overall still a delightful experience and reminded me of why I fell in love with Star Wars when I first say it on the big screen all those years ago. My Grade: A/A- (for annoying re-editing choices)

Interestingly, Islam is finding a receptive ground in southern Mexico among the native peoples there, read about the Mayan-Muslims.

Several things in that article strike me as very peculiar word choices, if not obvious mistakes. Google 'Murabitun' for information on what seems to be an extremely peculiar group, which is neither Sunni nor 'primal', whatever that means.

Still, if people will swallow one monotheism they'll swallow another.

It's in Spiegel, so it's probably translated from German. That would explain some of the word choices.
