Muslim (also Moslem)—Followers of the teachings of Muhammad, or Islam, mustard gas—A blistering agent that causes severe damage to the eyes, internal organs, and respiratory system. Produced for the first time in 1822, mustard gas was not used until World War I. Victims suffered the effects of mustard gas thirty to forty years after exposure. [Pg.36]

The ploy must have worked because the subsequent narrative tells us that the Byzantines then capitalised on their secret weapon by the wholesale destruction of the Moslem fleet at Cyzicus and continued to win naval battles in this way for several centuries afterwards. [Pg.188]

Another favorite tale of lost time is the Moslem legend of Mohammed, who is carried by the magical horse Burak (or Al-Buraq, which means lightning in Arabic) to heaven. Just as the horse departs from Earth, it knocks over a water jar. Mohammed s journey in heaven lasts a week, and when he returns to Earth, he arrives just in time to catch the jar of water the horse had kicked over right before ascending to heaven. Man s time does not run at the same rate as God s. [Pg.217]

Such mixtures may more correctly be called Wild Fire. Such mixts were used by Moslems in the Crusades (See under year 1250 AD)... [Pg.117]

Moslem Arabs (of Caliphate) were defeated at the walls of Constantinople by defenders using Greek Fire (Ref 58, p 14)... [Pg.117]

Similarly, in a description of the siege of Niebla in Spain (1257) mention is made of the missiles thrown by the Moslems which produced a roar and flash. They were in all probability loaded with a mixture resembling blackpowder. At the battle of Legnica (1241) the Tartars employed another weapon, the so-called Chinese dragon belching fire this was probably a type of a rocket-like launching device for incendiary missiles. [Pg.322]

The first Moslem writer on alchemy cited by later Arabian authors was Khaled ben Yezid ibn Moaonia, Prince Oneeyade, who died in 708 A. D., reputed to be a pupil of the Syrian monk, Marianas.86 No remnant of his writings of any significance has been preserved. [Pg.175]

Since antiquity, khat has also been used in religious contexts by natives of Eastern Africa and the Arab peninsula. For example, khat was used, in moderation, as a stimulant to alleviate feelings of hunger (some members of the Islamic faith use khat during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Moslem year, which is spent fasting from sunrise to sunset) and fatigue. [Pg.91]

However practical its uses, though, cannabis was always consumed recreationally. Marijuana became popular in the Moslem world, partly because the Islamic faith forbade the use of alcohol. The Sufis, a mystical Islamic sect, used marijuana as part of their religious rituals. Over the centuries, Arab traders brought cannabis to east Africa, and from there it spread throughout the continent. [Pg.289]

The necessity for non-consumption of fat from a particular source is usually religious, most commonly from Jews and Moslems. The religious laws forbid the consumption and use of pork products. There are also requirements concerning shellfish, but shellfish oil is not, and would be unlikely to ever be, a commercial product. [Pg.116]

R. Gordon Wasson is not sure whether he or his wife was the first to put into words a hypothesis they came to agree on sometime in the 1940s— that as far back as 6,000 years ago, there were cultures that worshipped mushrooms. The discovery of the twenty or so mushroom stones seemed to be confirming evidence that the mushroom was the symbol of a religion, like the cross promulgated by Christians, the crescent moon by Moslems and... [Pg.324]

The best example of this lack of an overview is the Moslem terrorist. Islam is actually a peaceful religion. But this dope has never really read the Koran and pondered its concepts. He gets his religion from power-mad, hypocritical mullahs and so tries to bomb the world back to the seventh century. If every sand monkey would read the Koran from cover to cover, learning what it says, rather than what others say it says, there would be no Islamic terrorism. [Pg.1]

The Spanish-style villa. . . was a rambling white stucco house with scarlet trim, surrounded by gray stone walls. Down below was a sloping lawn ringed by flowers. Next to the upper terrace was the swimming pool, lake blue, and the lawn fell away downslope to a lower green terraced lawn. The villa had been built by Mexican Moslems and remodeled by Mexican Viennese. It was colorful, open, and lush. [Pg.161]
