He was a carpenter when he grew up. (Mark 6:3)
Then he was a rabbi (which means teacher) (John 1:38),
the rabbi who had no place to lay his head. (Matthew 8:20)”

(Who was Jesus? (1))

So Jesus was a rabbi who had no place to lay his head.

How was the person who had no place to lay his head? Continue reading Who was Jesus? (3)

Philippines: The Black Flag Flies on Facebook

Asia Foundation February 13, 2019 By Nathan Shea

The first news that militants had taken to the streets of the Islamic City of Marawi on May 23, 2017, came from Facebook. Pictures of masked men carrying assault rifles and waving the black flag of the Islamic State were swirling across social media well before Philippine and international news channels picked up the story. By the time the military and the media had begun to respond, Marawi’s residents were already streaming out of the city by the tens of thousands to seek refuge from the violence.

Screengrab from public Facebook profiles reveal the relatively simple and authentic method through which some users promote their violent extremist actions.

The Vietnam War, which tore this country apart and forever changed its politics and culture, has never been the subject of a Smithsonian exhibition. The nation managed to build a memorial in 1982 to those who died in the war, less than a decade after the fall of Saigon, and, in 2017, Americans watched an epic 18-hour PBS documentary about the war, without any substantial political controversy. The war is included within exhibitions at the National Museum of American History, is referenced in the National Museum of African American History and Culture and served as the backdrop to an anniversary exhibition about the Vietnam memorial in 2003.
