@abboudcharbel 1) in a sectarian/ regional voting system hard almost impossible to find an alternative which applies to all sects
2) most of dictatorships world wide reached the power through votes, we all know that there is no way to consider voters as guilty of political outcomes
@abboudcharbel Did the Lebanese national institution of statistics conclud that? You know that these stats are not relevant! And the number that you mentioned represents at least 25% of your ppl ! I know that the current situation is frustrating but this is how incitement of hatred starts
Roman Floor Mosaics; according to me, these are actually ancient stories preserved in stone and glass .....
Roman Floor Mosaics; are one of the most well-preserved and widespread types of Roman art. They were found throughout the Roman Empire from Britain to Mesopotamia. These mosaics, mostly used in public buildings such as Roman baths and marketplaces, they were also used in places of worship like synagogues and churches.
Mosaic floor with Head of Medusa (115-150 AD), was discovered on the floor of a Roman villa in 1910 in Rome, Italy. At the center of this mosaic floor is the bust of the gorgon, Medusa. The Greek representation of Medusa as a monster had been replaced with a more human-like figure by the Romans around 100 AD. Medusa’s snake-like hair was replaced with wild curls and she was represented like Hellenistic Kings and Alexander the Great, with her wind-blown hair and turned head.
In this mosaic, Medusa is portrayed in a shield of concentric black and white triangles which create an optical illusion of continuous motion. The circle is enclosed in an outer square with kantharoi or drinking cups at the corners. The guilloche pattern or braided pattern border the circle and the inner part of the square. The head of Medusa on a shield motif appeared frequently on Roman mosaic floors. The design is inspired by Athena’s aegis, the scaly protective cloak decorated with Medusa’s decapitated head.
In Greek mythology, Medusa was a fearsome monster who could turn onlookers into stone. She was beheaded by Perseus who presented her head to his patron goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus. The Gorgon’s head was a popular apotropaic device in Greek art, supposedly used to ward off evil influences or bad luck. Even though the Romans used the Gorgon image for decorative purposes, she continued to be regarded as a protective symbol.

🇹🇳 🇸🇾 | Lors d’une allocution, Mohammed al-Joulani a mentionné et remercié les pays arabes pour leur soutien, à l’exception de la Tunisie.
▪️ La Tunisie est le seul pays de la Ligue arabe à refuser de reconnaître le nouveau régime syrien, aucune félicitation officielle n’ayant été adressée.

In African pre-colonial worldview, women were never seen as sex objects until foreigners influences. That's why many traditional photographs show women posing half-naked with less care in the world as such has been their life.
But the colonizers came and corrupt the mine of several African people towards our women. Being ashamed of one's body began with the teachings of Christianity and the colonial school system, life styles, introduction of sex through media.
