![]() ![]() However, while praising the Umayyads’ architectural efforts to signal Islamic superiority, al-Muqaddasī betrays the appreciation of – and interactions with – Christian buildings that Muslims exhibited for centuries. ![]() As this text suggests, authorities in the first centuries of Islamic rule contested this Christian architectural dominance, imposing their presence upon the physical environment in a variety of ways. The comments of this tenth-century author and his opinionated uncle highlight a reality of the spatial environment within which these Islamic monuments of the Umayyad period were constructed: a Near Eastern landscape dominated by Christian churches and shrines. Elsewhere, al-Muqaddasī claims that ʿAbd al-Malik also had been motivated to beautify the Aqṣā Mosque, “because it was compared with the great Christian church in Jerusalem, so they made it greater than that.” 1 65–86/685–705), similarly had feared that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem would “beguile the hearts of the Muslims,” and was thus spurred to build the Dome of the Rock there. ![]() He saw that Syria was a country of the Christians, and he saw the beautiful churches with their enchanting decorations, renowned far and wide … So, he built a mosque for the Muslims that would divert their attention from and made it one of the wonders of the world.Īl-Muqaddasī’s uncle adds that al-Walīd’s father and caliphal predecessor, ʿAbd al-Malik b. O my little boy, you do not understand! Al-Walīd was right and he undertook a worthy project. 86–96/705–715), had spent “so much of the Muslims’ wealth on the mosque in Damascus,” when that money might have been more responsibly spent on “roads, or water troughs, or the restoration of fortresses.” Disagreeing, his uncle responds: Bemoaning the building’s opulence, al-Muqaddasī complains that its constructor, the caliph al-Walīd b. 380/990) mentions a conversation he had with his uncle about the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus.

![]() ![]() The introduction of vigors in B:I and the distinct lack of any sort of arial elements (why was I not fighting between buildings that were moving/shifting/sinking at any point in the game dammit?) Makes me distrust the game dev's ability to innovate in combat even while I trust their story chops. So without story, I can understand the gripes. It's like playing through a linear narrative, and that narrative is well constructed. And when it comes down to it, no Bioshock game allows the player to affect the game world or alter the story path. I kept wanting to see the story push forward. I found B:I's gameplay to be pretty humdrum and I found all the combat sequences got old for me real quick. ![]() But dishonored's play style is so adaptable it was a natural fit. I thought Dunwall City Trials was sorta lame looking and I bought that and *loved* it. I'm uncertain an arena style DLC for B:I would be any good. "New stories" is not the same thing as saying that "all 3 DLC will be story-driven". In any event, fans who are surprised by today's release shouldn't believe that IG/2K lied about the "all of the DLC being story-driven", because they apparently never promised it.Instead, it looks like fans have either misinterpretted the above press release, or they made up the idea from whole cloth.IG/2K apparently never officially said the DLC would all be "story-driven content". ![]()
![]() ![]() We hear you loud and clear! Please know that this isn't the impression we wish to leave you with. I recommend Quickbooks for very basic tracking and bookkeeping items and only if you are a small business otherwise you should look for a company that doesn’t outsource their services, including and most importantly Tax and Payroll corrections. Basically in the end the payroll error was never fixed, I stopped using QuickBooks for payroll and have a massive tax issue in my hands that is still unresolved. They offered to fix the mistake if I paid $1500. When I called to get help again they just sent me to talk to the Bookkeeping Team which is a paid service. All this just to find out that they closed my case without notice or resolution and never told me. I waited 4 months for a payroll correction error to be handled by the supposed “experts” during this time I fell behind with my taxes because the IRS thought I owed several thousands more than I actually did. The customer service is not trained properly, they know enough to transfer yoh to an expert which is usually someone in a department that can’t be reached directly because these experts are mostly outsourced to third party companies, when customer service does get involved they make mistakes and don’t follow through with corrections. This last year the company has really gone down hill. Pretty much every aspect other than time keeping. Through these last three years I have tried Payroll, Mileage tracking, expense tracking.
