Emir (Arabic: أمير; amīr, female: أميرة; emira; amīrah), (Persian: امیر) ("commander" or "general", also "prince" ; also transliterated as amir, aamir or ameer) is a high title of nobility or office, used throughout the Arab World, as well as historically in 19th-century Afghanistan and in the medieval Muslim world. Emirs are usually considered high-ranking sheikhs, but in monarchical states the term is also used for princes, with "Emirate" being analogous to principality in this sense. (Ah-mare) The word is also used as a name (rather than an honorific) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Turkey. While emir is the predominant spelling in English and many other languages (for example, United Arab Emirates), amir, closer to the original Arabic, is more common for its numerous compounds (e.g., admiral) and in individual names. Spelling thus differs depending on the sources consulted. From Wikipedia under the

Kim Philby's father was Henry St John Philby, who was a friend of Abdul-Aziz ibn Saud, wrote Arabia of the Wahhabis, converted to Islam, married a Syrian woman and died in Saudi. As a rabid anti-semite he became an admirer of Hitler, so there are deeper sources for Kim's treason than his Cambridge conversion to Marxism.

Q. why? and by what authority? Who decided to "give" palestine to the jews of europe to create a "jewish" state. by what authority? Asked by bush l - Mon Jan 21 14:12:45 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Mr. Peanut is partially correct. As for the region then known as the TransJorday, it was Winston Churchill and the British. Why? GOK (God only knows). It was previously undeveloped swamp land that was heavily infest with malaria ridden mosquitoes. The few inhabitants (mostly Jews) lived in peace with their Arab neighbors and managed to drain the swamps, cleared the land and started making cities. And then oil was discovered. The brit.s gave nod to the Arabs and it's been hell ever since. By what authority? The region was claimed by the crown of England as a colony. We're talking about the days of Pax Britannica and colonialism. Answered by Doc - Mon Jan 21 14:26:32 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "emir" |
