British historian and writer James Barr (his book Setting the Desert on Fire traces the origins of today’s Middle East conflict to the Arab Revolt of 1916) scratches his head as to why London did not accommodate Aga Khan Museum.
You realise just how stupid a decision it was for London to refuse the Aga Khan planning permission to build a museum in the city at the Ismaili Centre’s exhibition of artefacts from the Aga Khan’s collection, entitled Spirit and Life.
His blog post is available here.
Thanks to the Aga Khan, we can now see many of them for ourselves – and savour their collector’s poke in the eye for the petrodollar-fuelled Wahhabi extremists who would like to ban them. What a pity it is for London that the collection will be permanently housed in Toronto. –James Barr.
This picture shows one of the thirteenth century Bayil stones, which I saw in Baku last month. Taken from a nearby castle, they can now be found in the courtyard of the Shirvan Shahs’ palace in the wonderful old city.
Ismailimail 
This is the duty of Imam of the time to lead the human being and teach them by examples as past present anf future.
The human being always need a leader who let them know that how and where a man should go and the main purpose of human life is what?
Education ,poverty reduction, Religious Education, Spirituality, Unity , helping others and equal opportunity and quality of life peace all are the mission of the Imam of the time.
So all we need is to think about with concentration and very carefully to get up to the level of human understanding and a true human leader.
