Berlin Exhibition of Pre-Islamic Persian Antiquities Presented as Islamic Art

24

The Pergamon Museum in Germany interviewed Stefan Weber, director of the Islamic Art Museum and Ute Franke, professor at Frei University of Berlin, in a video produced by Pejman Akbarzadeh / Persian Dutch Network in March 2017. This is highly unusual. Since Arabs haven’t even been in Iran, the director of Islamic Art Museum describes the pre-Islamic monuments as Islamic art.

Taq Kasra, or Ctesiphon, which its history goes back to around 2000 years ago, is cited as the world’s largest brickwork vault. It was a palace in Ctesiphon (Mada’in) and one of the most magnificent monuments of Sasanian Persia, but it was destroyed by savages from the Arabian Peninsula.

“Arab Muslims Destroyed Ctesiphon Library and burned all Persian books. The book burnings started, they practically burned all the books in the glorious world famous Persian Library of Ctesiphon. The Persian documented history, science, literature, poetry, music and scripture of centuries and millennium were burned to ashes by Arabo-Muslims. The only book needed in Islam is the Quran, so they burned everything else! The book burnings continued for days and weeks!”

The Sasanian Empire was the last pre-Islamic Persian empire, founded in 224 CE by Ardeshir I, son of Papak, descendant of Sasan. The Empire lasted until 651 CE, when it was overthrown by the Arab caliphate. It is considered by the Iranian people to be a highlight of their civilization, for after the fall of the Achaemenid Empire at the hands of Alexander the Great in 330 BCE until the fall of the Parthian Empire, there was not to be another state that truly felt “Iranian.”

The Islamic director of the German Museum continues: “How did Islamic cultures and Islamic art arise? Where do their roots lie? Like the Islamic religion itself, Islamic art also built on its predecessors in the Middle East. Focusing on Ctesiphon, a vast landscape of ruins south of Baghdad, this exhibition is devoted to the Persian legacy inherited by Islam.”

These cultural thieves are revising history, and Saudis are paying for it.

Now here is the truth.

When Arabs, a collection of backward, nomadic warrior tribes who did not even have a fully developed scripted language, conquered sophisticated cultures such as Egypt, Syria, Persia, and the Byzantine Empire, they took control over some of the world’s largest centers of accumulated knowledge. To claim that there was an “Islamic Golden Age” or Islamic Art is like saying a group of savages storming into the world’s largest libraries, murdering all the librarians and then claimed to have written all the books there, gives credit to this myth. Islam’s much-vaunted “Golden Age” was in fact just the twilight of conquered pre-Islamic cultures, an echo of times past. In all honesty, Islam’s trophy to human civilization is and always has been Islamic terrorism.

70% of Persian arts at the Louvre art attributed to Islamic art.  The same in the London Museum and elsewhere. Why? Simple: the Saudis pay them off to revise history.

Since the 9/11 attacks, it has been the duty of all Muslims to lie to infidels about the peacefulness of Islam and create a bogus show of Islamic Arts.

Nearly 1400 years ago, a large number of Muslim jihadists from across the scorching Arabian desert, motivated by the ideology of Islam, indoctrinated by Muhammad, unafraid of death, conquered Iran (Persia), one of the greatest, strongest and most tolerant empires known throughout the history of man. The invasion of Persia was completed five years after the death of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, though Persian resistance continued for centuries up to and including the present time. (Most Iranians consider the current regime as the continuation of 1400 years of Islamo-Arab tyranny and oppression).

The Bedouin Arabs who toppled the Sassanid Empire were propelled not only by a desire for conquest and to steal Persian jewels and treasures, but also to enslave Iranian women and children, while imposing their barbaric ideology upon the entire population. With that, they almost wiped out one of the most benevolent and ancient religions, Zoroastrianism, which is often called the mother of all revealed religions.

Some 2,500 years ago, a farsighted and benevolent king, Cyrus the Great, issued an historic proclamation to the varied peoples of his vast empire. He granted every people their rights to dignity, independence, beliefs and their way of life. This trailblazing king, considered as the first author of the Charter of Human Rights, showed the justice as well as the feasibility of diverse peoples living peacefully with one another to the benefit of all.

This is the dawn of a new day for our homeland, Iran. Over four decades and 1400 years of darkness has reached its inevitable end. People on the mountaintops are clearly discerning the rays of the new sun that inevitably will chase away the gloom of darkness.

Muslims do not allow IMAGES! Just recently some historic statue had to be demolished that stood in water because it had people on it and offended Muslims. I forget the details on it. The left and the Muslims are rewriting world history.

I don’t even think most art is permissible in Islam, they apparently see it as idolatry. Even photography is kind of haraam.

“It is the purpose of Islam to destroy all art because it is Jahiliyyah” explains Dr. Bll Warner. The attacker intended to damage or destroy some of the priceless works of art that are exhibited in the most renowned art museum in the world. His intent was to destroy the finest art of Western civilization.

Why art? Art that involves animals or humans is forbidden in the Sharia. Art is the work of Kafirs and is part of jahiliyya (civilization of ignorance). Islam annihilates a civilization piece by piece and leaves nothing of its native roots. Civilizational jihad destroys the very cultural history of every nation it comes into contact with.

We see the jihadist annihilation of museums and ancient architecture for the same reason. This civilizational war has been this way for 1400 years.

Muslims have their six lies that are tenets of Islam, It is perfectly reasonably not to trust Muslims based on the fact that lying is categorized for Muslim’s convenience.

• Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
• Kitman: deceit by omission.
• Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
• Taysir: deceit through facilitation
(not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
• Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
• Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate”.

You forgot one very important tenet.
“The spoils of war belong to the victor”.
History shows that a lot of the museums articles throughout history were; DESTROYED,
STOLEN,
MELTED for the metal,
SOLD for cash
by many of the muslem “victors”.

Here is what I was referring to. IMAGES are NOT ALLOWED as “art”.
On 21 September the work was destroyed under court order with pickaxes, saws and ropes.

Maldives: Marine artwork destroyed after Islamic scholars judge it anti-Islamic

SEP 30, 2018 12:22 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
What fun they’ll have in Paris, Rome, and London.

A new sculptural work, Coralarium, created by artist and environmentalist Jason deCaires Taylor, was demolished last week after it was deemed anti-Islamic. The semi-submerged artwork was criticised by religious leaders and scholars in the Maldives, where Islam is the official religion. The depiction of human figures in art is discouraged under Islamic law.

The government ordered the destruction of the artwork, after a court ruled it to be a threat to “Islamic unity and the peace and interests of the Maldivian state”, the Maldives Independent reported, despite the authorities previously granting permission.

I had read about the Maldives. It’s their country, they should do what they want there, but leave the rest of the world alone.

Hmmmm, if the Persian empire was so grand, benevolent and magnanimous then why did the Israelis celebrate Alexander the Great’s defeat of the Persians by naming their male children after Alexander for the period of one year? If the Persian empire was so grand, benevolent and magnanimous then why did the Greeks resist Persian conquest for hundreds of years?
I never knew the f’ing muslums had burned down the great, Persian Ctesiphon Library and all the books contained therein, but I’m not surprised considering the f’ing muslums did the same thing to the Buddhist library of Nalanda as well as the library of Alexandria.

The deceit and treachery of islam is corrupting our children with false history

This is outrageous, those who promoted it should be imprisoned! This is a NY high school test from the university regents:
http://www.nysedregents.org/globalhistorygeography/Archive/20100817-gh-examw.pdf

This is from page 13 of the test ” . . Wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning.
From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that
of western Christendom.
Some of the finest centers of Moslem life were established in Spain. In Cordova, the streets
were solidly paved, while at the same time in Paris people waded ankle-deep in mud after a rain.
Cordovan public lamps lighted roads for as far as ten miles; yet seven hundred years later there
was still not a single public lamp in London!
Some Spanish Moslems had homes with marble balconies and courts with lovely waterfalls.
Bedrooms were vaulted with stained glass and speckled with gold. And metal pipes carried water
into marble baths.
Nearly every mosque had a public school in which the children of the poor were taught. Many
Moslem libraries were excellent; the catalogue of one caliph’s library filled forty volumes. In
addition, the followers of Mohammed achieved much in science, particularly in chemistry,
astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. . . .

Truthful representation is very important. I imagine no one wishes to take credit if it is unwarranted.
Why did the radical group totally destroy the painstaking creations of ancient cultures?
Bamiyan. The temples in Syria. The ancient churches, tombs in Syria and other places.
As for Germany, what can one say.
