Mercy, Mercy Mercy, mercy, coming to you, Feel her beauty flowing through you — She will unbind you, set the word free. Mercy, Mercy

Gavin Bryars - Jesus Blood never failed me yet (full, audio only, no visual)
Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a 1971 composition by Gavin Bryars. It is formed on a loop of an unknown homeless man singing a brief stanza. Rich harmonies, comprising string and brass, are gradually overlaid over the stanza. The piece was first recorded for use in a documentary which chronicles street life in and around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo, in London. When later listening to the recordings, Bryars noticed the clip was in tune with his piano and that it conveniently looped into 13 bars.[2] For the first LP recording, Bryars was limited to a duration of 25 minutes; with the invention of the cassette tape, Bryars was able to complete a 60-minute version of the piece; and later, with the advent of the CD, a 74-minute version. Bryars says: In 1971, when I lived in London, I was working with a friend, Alan Power, on a film about people living rough in the area around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo Station. In the course of being filmed, some people broke into drunken song - sometimes bits of opera, sometimes sentimental ballads - and one, who in fact did not drink, sang a religious song "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet". This was not ultimately used in the film and I was given all the unused sections of tape, including this one. When I played it at home, I found that his singing was in tune with my piano, and I improvised a simple accompaniment. I noticed, too, that the first section of the song - 13 bars in length - formed an effective loop which repeated in a slightly unpredictable way. I took the tape loop to Leicester, where I was working in the Fine Art Department, and copied the loop onto a continuous reel of tape, thinking about perhaps adding an orchestrated accompaniment to this. The door of the recording room opened on to one of the large painting studios and I left the tape copying, with the door open, while I went to have a cup of coffee. When I came back I found the normally lively room unnaturally subdued. People were moving about much more slowly than usual and a few were sitting alone, quietly weeping. I was puzzled until I realised that the tape was still playing and that they had been overcome by the old man's singing. This convinced me of the emotional power of the music and of the possibilities offered by adding a simple, though gradually evolving, orchestral accompaniment that respected the tramp's nobility and simple faith. Although he died before he could hear what I had done with his singing, the piece remains as an eloquent, but understated testimony to his spirit and optimism." This is only for listening "pleasure", those who like this song probably have it, I uploaded it because there was no full version of it on youtube yet, I didn't put any visuals, because the audio is the most important here.

Hate Crimes

According to FBI statistics on hate crimes, a Jewish person is four times more likely to be the target of a hate crime than a Muslim person is in the US. There were just over 150 hate crimes against Muslims last year. There were over 600 hate crimes targeting Jews.

You don't ever hear about this, because our country and our media are run by anti-Semites.

Donald trolls us again

Separation of church and state is a concept that owes at least as much of its genesis to Christian teaching as it does to the Enlightenment. When Christ tells people to "render unto Caesar," he is specifically acknowledging a secular authority distinct from religion, and doing so in a way that indicated his own submission to secular authority.

If similar passages are to be found in the Koran, I am unable to find them; the closest is a passage that says "there is no compulsion in religion" - and those over the centuries who have converted to Islam at sword point would probably argue that even this hasn't born out in practice. But I'm not Muslim, and I welcome correction from anyone with a better understanding of this than I have. For what it's worth, a brief and decidedly anecdotal survey of Internet posts that match the terms "separation of church and state islam" give no definitive answer, but those who dispute that separation is possible are more likely to quote scripture in support of their position.

Absent any clear articulation that reconciles the concept of separation between church and state with Islamic scripture and centuries of Muslim teaching and practice, it's fair to question whether adherents of Islam genuinely embrace the kind of sacred/secular distinction that is behind the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution. And given that those same Islamic scriptures, teachings and practices justify lying - even under oath - to advance the cause of Islam, the sad truth is that while Donald Trump may have the wrong answer, he's at least asking some of the right, although difficult, questions.

And, sadly, *no one* else is. So I propose a question: How should the US respond to a religion which teaches core values that are at odds with its basic constitutional principles, and whose leaders articulate doctrines that go so far as to justify deceit, and even violence, to undermine the US government and threaten its citizens? I'm not saying that religion is necesarily Islam, but I think we need to have a conversation about how we would handle one, if only  hypothetically.
