Bedouin

"I am going to become an African prince, - a Bedouin gentleman.

With his shaggy head thrown back like birds when they drink, pressing his spurs mercilessly into the sides of his good horse, Bedouin, and sitting as though falling backwards in the saddle, he galloped to the other flank of the squadron and shouted in a hoarse voice to the men to look to their pistols.

Unluckily, the caravan was attacked and pillaged by the Bedouins, and the pilgrims were taken prisoners.

Outside, some wooden cabins, and some made of reeds, showed the quarter inhabited by the Bedouins. Soon Djeddah was shut out from view by the shadows of night, and the Nautilus found herself under water slightly phosphorescent.

At all the more public pumps there is much cooling of bare feet, together with much bubbling and gurgling of drinking with hand to spout on the part of these Bedouins; the Cloisterham police meanwhile looking askant from their beats with suspicion, and manifest impatience that the intruders should depart from within the civic bounds, and once more fry themselves on the simmering high-roads.

"Dear Valentine, you are a perfect angel, and I am sure I do not know what I -- sabring right and left among the Bedouins -- can have done to merit your being revealed to me, unless, indeed, heaven took into consideration the fact that the victims of my sword were infidels.

"The term takes on a negative connotation in Muhammad's preach, for all the evils that embodies heresy are primarily made on the account of these Bedouins with superficial religious concerns." (Anghelescu, 2009: 135) In addition, for the fact that the Bedouin illustrated heresy there is an explanation, namely that the Bedouin, whom was considered to be only superficially converted, was a second degree Muslim, because he could not meet a number of ritual obligations.

Hamas' Minister of Culture Attallah Abu al-Subuh shared his views on Palestinian Dahiyya, a rhythmic group dance with deep roots in Bedouin culture, in a Facebook post last Thursday.

Summary: Spread across the living room floor of a small house in Zahle's Kfar Zabad, the Bedouin Saleh family lamented the circumstances that have left many of their people stateless.

I thought the articles in your last issue about Bedouins ("The Bedouin Dilemma" and "A Matter of Dreams," July/ August 2015) were very interesting and related to Martin Buber's writing about Bedouins in the early 20th century and the relationship between Arabs and Jews as Israel developed.
