 The Pasha |
 On Sunday morning the 12th (May 12) the shaykhs rode to Bayt-Qadi. A great number of turbaned shaykhs, common folk, and youth gathered there so that the courtyard and hall were filled with people. they shouted, "God's law decide between us and this tyrant of a pasha!" Some of the youths were shouting, "O God, the Benevolent!"; others, "O God, who makest thyself manifest, destroy the Ottomans!"... They demanded that the qadi summon the leading men of the government to a council.' Jabarti parent page (12 - 18 May 2005, issue #742) |
