Nigerian 'Sex-Slaves' Disrupt Obama Narrative on Islam
May 15, 2014 May 15, 2014 victorhanson
by Raymond Ibrahim // RaymondIbrahim.com
Islamic law permits the possession of concubines, or sex slaves. This has been demonstrated countless times, including through Islamic clerics quoting Islamic scriptures, and through ordinary Muslims, past and present, acting on it.

That said, Islamic sanctioned sex-slavery does not perturb the Western world simply because the powers-that-be—specifically academia, media, and government—ignore it, and all other unsavory phenomena associated with Islam, out of existence.
Interesting, therefore, are the responses from the authorities—comical one might even say—when one of these everyday anecdotes actually does surface to the general public.

On April 24, CBN News Senior International Reporter Gary Lane interviewed me about Egypt. Lane's write-up, "Will Egypt's el-Sisi Protect Christians?" as well as the three part interview, follow:
With only one month to go before Egyptians elect a new president, it looks like former Army Chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will be the likely winner. The interim government says international observers will monitor the polling to assure the integrity of the electoral process.
But who will give assurances that violent acts against Christians will be minimized in the months ahead?
Not el-Sisi, CBN News contributior Raymond Ibrahim said. Not the Egyptain military, police, or any other political candidate who Continue reading "Raymond Ibrahim on CBN News: 'Will Egypt's el-Sisi Protect Christians?'" →

The Past and the Future
March 6, 2014 victorhanson
Last November Raymond Ibrahim was interviewed by Egyptian reporter Sherif Awad. The interview appeared in several Egyptian magazines and websites, as well as American ones, such as the Westchester Guardian. The interview follows:
Awad: Can you tell us about your family and their profession and how and why they decided to migrate to the US? Tell us about your childhood and the intercultural elements that shaped it until you decided to select your profession.
Ibrahim: My father and mother, both Copts, one from Cairo the other Alexandria, left Egypt in the late 1960s for America, where I was born. They left Egypt for a better life. I grew up speaking both Arabic and English and visited Egypt with my parents often when I was young. It was natural, then, for me formally to study the region, its languages (primarily Arabic, which I already spoke), its history and conflicts, in college. Growing up in Egypt in the 1940s-1960s, my parents experienced little by way of direct persecution, but they did experience religious discrimination, and that was one of the reasons they came to America, for better opportunities.
Awad: In regards to your MA thesis and book about the Battle of Yarmuk, can you compare its events to the happenings that led to the ending of Islamic rule in Andalusia? Do you consider researching the Islamic empire in Andalusia? About the Crusades? Continue reading "The Past and the Future" →

How Historic Revisionism Justifies Islamic Terrorism
October 31, 2013 victorhanson
How important, really, is history to current affairs? Do events from the 7th century—or, more importantly, how we understand them—have any influence on U.S. foreign policy today?
By way of answer, consider some parallels between academia's portrayal of the historic Islamic jihads and the U.S. government's and media's portrayal of contemporary Islamic jihads. Continue reading "How Historic Revisionism Justifies Islamic Terrorism" →

Watching the Middle East Implode
September 12, 2013 September 17, 2013 victorhanson
Only when we recognize the fundamental role Islam plays in the region can we begin to craft sensible policies that put U.S. interests first.
by Bruce S. Thornton // Defining Ideas
The revolutions against dictators in the Middle East dubbed the Arab Spring
have degenerated into a complex, bloody mélange of coups and counter-coups, as have happened in Egypt; vicious civil wars, like the current conflict in Syria; a resurgence of jihadists gaining footholds in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Sinai; and a shifting and fracturing of alliances and enmities of the sort throwing Lebanon and Jordan into turmoil. Meanwhile, American foreign policy has been confused, incompetent, and feckless in insuring that the security and interests of the United States and its allies are protected.

Brotherhood Imposes Jizya Tribute on Egypt's Christians

Now that the attacks on Egypt's Christian churches have subsided, stage two of the jihad — profiting from the fear and terror caused by stage one — is setting in:reports are arriving that the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters are forcing the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in south Minya province to payjizya — the money, or tribute, that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords "with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued" to safeguard their existence, as indicated in Koran 9:29.

On July 5, El Watan ("the nation"), one of Egypt's most popular
newspapers, published the final dialogue between General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Dr. Muhammad Morsi, which took place on Tuesday July 2, a few hours before Morsi's final speech to the Egyptian people. A reporter who was taken to an adjacent room was allowed to witness and transcribe their conversation from a TV screen.

Zoloft 100 mg, 50 mg, 25 mg. Only $0,25 per pill. Best online Zoloft.
By M. Pyran. Antioch College.
Increased activity of the rectus muscle seems to be a response of the limited motor control available generic zoloft 25mg line anxiety disorder symptoms. With limited motor control purchase zoloft 100 mg amex mood disorder bipolar 1, a system that is stiffer and has fewer degrees of freedom is easier to control. In children with severe motor impairments, such that they can only stand, the whole quadriceps muscle may be activated. As more motor control is available, only the rectus muscle is kept activated continuously, and with still better control, the rectus is only overactive to keep the knee too stiff, causing toe 11. The activity of the rectus is assessed primarily by the amount of knee flexion in initial swing and the EMG activity. Sometimes the EMG will have increased activity, but there is adequate knee flexion de- fined as 60° of knee flexion peaking between 25% and 30% of swing phase. The increased EMG means that the electrical activity is increased, but the force generated is not abnormal for the mechanical milieu of the limb. If the peak knee flexion is less than 50° or 60°, or the peak flexion is later than 30% of swing, then the rectus is overactive, causing a dynamic contracture limiting knee motion. The symptoms created are toe drag during swing phase and very rapid shoe wear with the front of the shoes wearing through, some- times in as short a time as 4 to 6 weeks, secondary to the toe dragging. Knee Extension Contractures For a few children with significant and prolonged extensor posturing, muscle contractures of the vastus and rectus muscles may develop. These contrac- tures are almost always combined with hip extension contractures and equi- nus ankle contractures. In the most advanced form, this contracture develop- ment includes the type 1 anterior hip dislocation, in which the hip and knee are extended and the hip is adducted and severely externally rotated. A few children develop this pattern without an anterior hip dislocation (Case 11. Knee extension contractures are functionally disabling because it is very dif- ficult to seat these children with the knees fully extended, especially as they reach adult size. It is important to note that back-kneeing in stance phase is seldom di- rectly or even indirectly secondary to the vastus or rectus muscles. These quadriceps muscles usually are not even contracting in midstance phase in children who are back-kneeing. The cause of stance phase back-kneeing is related to the foot and ankle force couple, with a secondary contribution of the hamstrings. Very weak vasti will be accommodated by full knee exten- sion at foot contact so as to avoid the need for the stabilizing effect of the vastus muscles during weight acceptance. Therefore, back-kneeing is not the result of overactivity of a quadriceps muscle, but may be primarily due to weakness of the quadriceps muscle in which the motor control system is protecting the muscle by back-kneeing (Table 11. Secondary Pathology Children with crouched gait pattern of increased knee flexion in midstance may start to depend on the vastus muscles as the main muscle power to pre- vent the knee from collapsing into more flexion. These patterns of crouch will often demonstrate EMG activity in the vastus muscles throughout all of stance phase, combined with a consistent and increased knee extension mo- ment. This constant force on the vastus muscles, which are often somewhat spastic as well, causes decreased muscle fiber growth. The constant force also causes the patellar tendon and patellar ligament to grow, with the net effect of the patella gradually moving more proximal than its normal position. This proximal patellar movement is called patella alta. Because the patella alta moves the patella out of the femoral groove, the moment arm over the ful- crum of the patella decreases, requiring even more muscle force for the quadri- ceps to prevent collapse of the knee. As the force increases, there is usually more patella alta, and as the patella alta increases, more force is required (Case 11. This process occurs especially during the rapid weight gain of adolescent growth and when untreated may cause adolescents to stop walk- ing. This increasing crouch is a purely mechanical set of problems that can be treated and should not be the cause of adolescents discontinuing ambulation. To improve the knee plegia, presented with her mother whose main concern flexion, she had Z-lengthening of the quadriceps tendon was that she had increased difficulty when she sat in her and was splinted in 90° of knee flexion for 3 months (Fig- wheelchair because of the extended knees.

One of the features of neoplastic transforma- tion is the loss of growth factor dependence for survival. The MAP kinase pathway is also involved in regulating apoptosis and sends cell survival signals. MAP kinase kinase phosphorylates and activates another protein kinase known as RSK. Like Akt, RSK phosphorylates BAD and inhibits its activity. Thus, BAD acts as a site of convergence for the PI-3 kinase/Akt and MAP kinase pathways in signaling cell survival. Gain-of-function mutations in the genes con- trolling these pathways, such as ras, creates apoptosis- resistant cells.

Bcl-2, which is anti- apoptotic, binds Bid (or tBid) and blocks formation of channels that allow cytochrome c release from the mitochondria. Death signals result in activation of a BH3-only protein such as Bid, which can lead to mitochondrial pore formation, swelling, and release of cytochrome c. Bid binds to and activates the membrane ion-channel protein Bax, activating cytochrome c release, which binds to Apaf and leads to formation of the apoptosome.

Controversial homeopathic proving of a combination remedy
December 12, 2017 By AP admin
After more than a few years in the publishing process, an article by the Aurum Project has been published in Similia, The Australian Journal of Homoeopathic Medicine. The title is "Proving of a Morning Sickness Combination Formula." This proving was conducted by the Aurum Project for Homeopathic Medical Research in Australia, which is an independently run non-profit charity, in conjunction with Nature Care College.
Provings of combination remedies are rare, if perhaps non-existent. Joerg Wichmann from the website www.provings.info argues, "I have never heard of a proving of a combination formula." To reconfirm the controversial nature of conducting this proving he added "My impression is that those colleagues who conduct provings and those who use combination remedies tend to be different people."
This proving was not conducted in an effort to add to the theories that abound about combining homeopathic remedies. The pros and cons of the idea of using a combination remedy are discussed elsewhere.
Research about combination remedies is not usually done in the form of provings, instead it is usually done with an aim to broaden clinical evidence. So without declaring that our work and this article is an argument from either side of the trenches, it is still a bold move to publish it.
A number of questions were asked in the process of this proving: Would a meaningful remedy profile actually emerge? Would a jumble of unrelated symptoms emerge? Is there any value in conducting provings on combination products?
The product was a Homoeopathic Morning Sickness Formula. It was one of many homeopathic combination formulas available at the time. The product contained a mix of four homeopathic remedies: Symphoricarpus racemosa 200c, Colchicum autumnale 30c, Nux vomica 30c, and Tabacum 30c, as well as tabletting aids.
There were 10 provers, 9 female and 1 male with all provers showing symptoms. The notes written by the provers included an expected number of GIT symptoms, however, all provers also experienced symptoms in the joints.
The authors of the homeopathic proving article were Alastair Gray, Linlee Jordan and Penny Barron.
Homeopathic proving definition
The term "proving" comes from the German word, prufung, which means to "test" or "examine." A proving is conducted on volunteers who are in a reasonable state of health (they are called provers). Doses are repeated until provers start to experience symptoms of a change in state. The provers record everything they experience, whether physical, emotional, mental, or even spiritual. At the end of the proving all the records are compared to find the physical symptoms, states of mind, feelings, and experiences that the provers have had in common, which can reasonably be attributed to the emerging themes of the substance.
"Provings are the pillars upon which homeopathic practice stands. Without accurate provings all prescribing indications are bound to be vague guesses at best, and pure fiction at worst. There is no other way to predict the effect of any given substance as a remedy with any degree of accuracy." The Dynamics and Methodology of Homeopathic Provings by Jeremy Sherr, MCH, FSHom, RSHom
About conducting provings
A proving is not designed to 'prove' that homeopathy works but more to identify the effects of the substances when used as a remedy. They need to be replicated and then submitted to the rigorous process of systemic clinical verification, as suggested by Hering more than 100 years ago. In this proving of a combination remedy the methodology of Hahnemann's proving was followed, as outlined by the contemporary homeopaths Paul Herscu, Bernd Schuster, but mainly the work of Jeremy Sherr.
The opportunity to conduct this proving came up against the background of a push in many countries, including Australia, to restrict access to homeopathic medicines. One of the usual arguments given by regulators is a lack of scientific evidence and the need to protect the public. In some countries 'traditional evidence' is used and accepted as legitimacy for making claims by pharmacies and manufacturers to sell their products. This confluence of events, the tightening of access to homeopathic medicines in Australia, overlapped with an intellectual curiosity and desire for a robust modern proving method. The complete proving document is 83 pages.
Themes from the symptoms reported in the provers' notes
After the completion of the Morning Sickness Combination Remedy proving it was noticed there were several themes contained within the notes.
The first theme to be addressed is the fact that the Morning Sickness Combination Remedy Formula was a preparation designed to focus primarily on GIT symptoms in pregnancy, including nausea, vomiting, light headedness and fatigue, especially those symptoms triggered by smells. There were definite experiences of these symptoms within this proving, however symptoms such as these did not occur in all provers.
Another important theme was the fact that many of the provers experienced either an increase in their fatigue with desire to sleep during the day, or an amelioration in their existing fatigue. There were many references to wanting to sleep all day, or well into the afternoon, as well as interrupted or unrefreshing sleep. Fatigue and unrefreshing sleep are common symptoms of early pregnancy.
Some of the provers experienced morning sickness type symptoms and fatigue, unrefreshing sleep and desire to sleep during the day, which may be associated with morning sickness. Many also awoke out of a need to urinate, with increased thirst. Increased urine output and accompanying thirst is another common symptom of early pregnancy.
Every prover experienced moderate to severe joint pain, especially in the extremities.
What is the value of this proving?
The real value in conducting this combination remedy proving and publishing it, lies in the important questions that arise. Did any symptoms get reported in this combination remedy proving that were different from the individual provings of the combined remedies? Did an individual remedy profile emerge or was it a lot of unrelated symptoms?
It is through asking questions and answering them, and then moving forward that we can transform opinion to evidence. More research is required if conclusions are to be drawn.

La Stradina di Delft è un dipinto a olio su tela (53,5x43,5 cm) di Jan Vermeer, databile al 1657-1658 circa e raffigurante un frammento di vita nella cittadina olandese di Delft. Conservato nel Rijksmuseum di Amsterdam, il dipinto è firmato a sinistra, sotto la finestra, I V Meer. Assieme alla Veduta di Delft si tratta dell'unico paesaggio riferibile con ragionevole sicurezza a Vermeer.

Storia
La prima documentazione pubblica del quadro potrebbe riferirsi a una nota d'inventario stilato per l'asta della collezione Dissius ad Amsterdam (16 maggio 1696), dove comparivano "Una veduta di una casa che si trova a Delft" e "Una veduta di alcune case". Si reputa che il primo possa essere questo dipinto, venduto all'epoca per 72.10 fiorini.

Tra Sette e Ottocento passò per diverse collezioni private di Amsterdam. Nel 1921 venne acquistato per 625.000 fiorini da sir Henry William Deterding che successivamente ne fece dono al museo.

La casa oggetto del dipinto, sul Mechelen lungo un lato di Voldersgracht, venne abbattuta per erigere la gilda di San Luca nel 1661: si tratta di un prezioso termine ante quem, e non si può escludere che l'artista scelse proprio questo scorcio poiché destinato a scomparire. Oggi l'edificio ospita in onore del pittore il Centro Vermeer.

La datazione si basa anche su dati tecnici, come la presenza, solo in alcune zone (come i rampicanti), delle piccole pennellate puntiformi, dense di colore chiaro.

Descrizione e stile

Opera assai ammirata fin dal passato, rappresenta una strada della nativa città di Delft, così come appariva nel diciassettesimo secolo: due case, le cui facciate sono rappresentate solo parzialmente secondo un taglio di estrema modernità (basato sulla regola dei terzi) e sono unite da due passaggi. Nello sfondo si apre una veduta dei tetti di altre case e un cielo chiaro velato da nubi, che bucano la profondità. Accurata e di notevole maestria è la descrizione degli edifici, coi mattoncini rossi qua e là consunti, l'intonaco di calce chiaro tirato solo fino al piano terra, le finestre coi vetri piombati, le imposte di legno, il marciapiede quadrettato a fianco della strada di ciottoli. Qui scorre una canalina che, ancora una volta, accentua il senso prospettico.

Quattro figure umane compaiono in scala ridotta e in atteggiamenti schiettamente quotidiani: due donne alla presa coi lavori domestici (una indaffarata vicino a una specie di catino, una che cuce sulla porta di casa) e due bambini accovacciati per giocare in terra. Le donne offrono un ideale di virtù domestica: occuparsi della propria casa era di fondamentale importanza per le donne olandesi.

Più che la rappresentazione dell'architettura cittadina, al pittore interessava immortalare la tranquilla quotidianità di un giorno qualunque, dove anche una scopa appoggiata o un rivolo di acqua saponata contribuiscono a creare un'atmosfera sospesa di sottile poesia. A differenza dei suoi contemporanei (come ad esempio Pieter de Hooch, che condivise soggetti simili), Vermeer appare anche in questa tela il "pittore del silenzio".

In the future, marketing students in virtual schools on Mars will be horrified to learn that social media didn't exist until the late 20th century.
They'll be taught that marketing was just a one-sided conversation.
People's voices didn't matter much until social media gave them a digital megaphone, and they could share opinions across the planet. Suddenly, companies of all sizes began to notice that social media could greatly affect their business either positively or negatively. The ones who embraced the power of social media thrived and the ones who feared it didn't survive.
Now's the time to take charge and participate in the conversation that's already happening, maybe even without you. It's no longer about speaking to the customer; it's about speaking with the customer. That's a beautiful thing, and Synectics Media can help you harness this new reality.

U.S. military unprepared for any new crisis
A classified Pentagon assessment concludes that long battlefield tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with persistent terrorist activity and other threats, have prevented the U.S. military from improving its ability to respond to any new crisis, The Associated Press has learned. Despite security gains in Iraq, there is still a "significant" risk that the strained U.S. military cannot quickly and fully respond to another outbreak elsewhere in the world, according to the report.
A classified Pentagon assessment concludes that long battlefield tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with persistent terrorist activity and other threats, have prevented the U.S. military from improving its ability to respond to any new crisis, The Associated Press has learned.
Despite security gains in Iraq, there is still a "significant" risk that the strained U.S. military cannot quickly and fully respond to another outbreak elsewhere in the world, according to the report.
Last year the Pentagon raised that threat risk from "moderate" to "significant." This year, the report will maintain that "significant" risk level — pointing to the U.S. military's ongoing struggle against a stubborn insurgency in Iraq and its lead role in the NATO-led war in Afghanistan.
The Pentagon, however, will say that efforts to increase the size of the military, replace equipment and bolster partnerships overseas will help lower the risk over time, defense officials said Friday. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the classified report.
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has completed the risk assessment, and it is expected to be delivered to Capitol Hill this month. Because he has concluded the risk is significant, his report will include a letter from Defense Secretary Robert Gates outlining steps the Pentagon is taking to reduce it.
The risk level was raised to significant last year by Mullen's predecessor, Marine Gen. Peter Pace.
On Capitol Hill this week, Mullen provided a glimpse into his thinking on the review. And Pentagon officials Friday confirmed that the assessment is finished and acknowledged some of the factors Gates will cite in his letter.
"The risk has basically stayed consistent, stayed steady," Mullen told the House Armed Services Committee. "It is significant."
He said the 15-month tours in Iraq and Afghanistan are too long and must be reduced to 12 months, with longer rest periods at home. "We continue to build risk with respect to that," he said.
Other key national security challenges include threats from countries that possess weapons of mass destruction, as well as the need to replace equipment worn out and destroyed during more than six years of war.
On a positive note, Mullen pointed to security gains in Iraq, brought on in part by the increase in U.S. forces ordered there by President Bush last year. There, "the threat has receded and al-Qaida … is on the run," he said. "We've reduced risk there. We've got more stability there as an example."
The annual review grades the military's ability to meet the demands of the nation's military strategy — which would include fighting the wars as well as being able to respond to any potential outbreaks in places such as North Korea, Iran, Lebanon or China.
The latest review by Mullen covers the military's status during 2007, but the readiness level has seesawed during the Iraq war. For example, the risk for 2004 was assessed as significant, but it improved to moderate in 2005 and 2006.
Last year, when Pace increased the risk level, a report from Gates accompanying the assessment warned that while the military is working to improve its warfighting capabilities, it "may take several years to reduce risk to acceptable levels."
Gates is expected to tell Congress that while the primary goal is to continue to increase the size of the military, it is also critical to step up efforts to work with other nations — as well as other U.S. agencies — to bolster fragile governments through economic development and other support.
And it will reflect his drumbeat for the use of more "soft power" to defeat terrorism, which includes the greater use of civilians in areas such as political development, communications and training.
Pentagon leaders argue that nontraditional conflicts — such as the insurgents and terrorists facing coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan — will be the main military battlefields for years to come. And defeating them, they say, will require more than military hardware — or "hard power."

Next week, Lord willing, OGC will take in a dozen new members.
Note: for a biblical defense of the concept of church membership click here.
We praise God for the new bunch of folks He has brought into our fellowship. Each of these saints has attended our membership class. They have completed an extensive application and submitted to an interview with two of our officers. They have been approved by the elders in a formal motion at a business meeting and so noted in the minutes. And without exception, each has signed a dated covenant of membership. Copies of that covenant will be made available in the service next Sunday for every member to reaffirm the commitments that come with belonging to a covenant community of believers.
The question I wish to address in this post is why insist on members of a local body signing a membership covenant? Answer? INFORMED CONSENT. What in the world is that? Informed consent is documentary evidence of a church member's familiarity with the teachings, policies, practices, and requirements of participation in the community and most importantly their agreement freely and willingly to abide therein. Why does that matter? Many reasons, but none more important in our litigious age than in the matter of church discipline.
The reason, among others, that there is a covenant of membership on file in our office with my name and date on it is because I don't trust my own deceitfully wicked heart (Jer. 17:9). Should I wander off into unrepentant sin, perish the thought, I want my elders and church to come after me with the full force of Matt. 18:15-20, Gal. 6:1-2, and a bunch of other texts aimed right at that heart. Furthermore, I don't even want to be tempted in the event of such an unfortunate set of circumstances to entertain the idea of suing my church for slander or some such nonsense. Having given my informed consent in the way of a covenant of membership assures that OGC doesn't have to think twice about even excommunicating me if necessary for fear of an expensive and damaging lawsuit, not to say the havoc such a thing would bring upon the peace and welfare of the church.
Church membership is generally viewed by the courts as being a matter of contract, whereby members freely choose to associate with a particular church community and in doing so accept the benefits and duties of that association. The membership process provides an ideal means to obtain informed consent to a church's policies and practices. Informed consent is easier to prove if you establish membership in a clear and explicit manner.
Further evidence of express informed consent may be obtained by requiring new members to sign a written commitment to membership, which includes a specific reference to having received a copy of the Relational Commitments and to being willing to support and submit to them.
The entire article is worth your time and effort. To read it click here.
Have you thought about this as a professing Christian? It matters a lot to your spiritual welfare and that of the church to which you belong that you do think long and hard about it and that you give your informed consent for the glory of God, the welfare of the church, and the good of your soul.

Osoppo (Osôf in friulano) è un comune italiano di  abitanti del Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Fa parte della regione storica del Gemonese.

Geografia fisica

Il comune si estende su una superficie di circa 22 km². Il territorio è prevalentemente pianeggiante, vi sono però 6 colline (i tre principali rilievi sono colle omonimo, dove si trova il Forte, il Colle di San Rocco e il Col Vergnâl).

Il forte di Osoppo, la cui vetta rappresenta il punto più elevato del territorio comunale, arriva a circa 330 metri di altezza. Dal paese e dal bosco che lo circonda partono numerosi sentieri, ma la principale via utilizzata per giungere in vetta è una larga e comoda strada che parte dal Borgo Ulivo.

Il colle presenta 2 vette principali e numerose diramazioni e cime minori. Il punto più elevato è costituito dal Colle di Napoleone, sui cui versanti, dal tempo della dominazione Veneta del Friuli e fino alla seconda guerra mondiale, si trovava una caserma. Il colle di San Rocco è il 2° rilievo per altezza nel comune. Nei pressi della vetta si trova una piccola Chiesa, dedicata appunto a San Rocco.

Il Col Vergnâl è un piccolo rilievo, situato nel territorio della Frazione di Rivoli di Osoppo.
Buona parte del territorio comunale è ricoperta dal bosco, che è attraversato da numerosi sentieri e da un percorso ad anello su strada in terra battuta e ghiaia, lungo circa 7 km.

All'interno della zona boschiva del comune scorrono diversi torrenti, fiumi e canali. Il bosco è delimitato ad est dalle magredi del Tagliamento, il fiume più importante della regione Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Tra i luoghi da visitare nel bosco, vi è sicuramente al primo posto la zona delle suggestive risorgive di Bârs.
Osoppo è famosa anche per la crescita spontanea di numerose specie di orchidee nel bosco che la circonda.

Origini del nome

Numerose sono state le interpretazioni del nome della località, come le latine Os-Apertum (luogo aperto), Os-Oppidum (luogo fortificato), Os-Opum (luogo di ricchezze), Hyssopum (dalla pianta dell'issopo), Aus-opum (luogo presso il fiume), la preromana Os-Osis (da frassino), la gallocarnica Os-Hop (luogo per chiamare a voce alta).

Storia

Osoppo fu in ogni epoca strettamente legato al più celebre dei suoi colli, denominato "il Forte", che fu utilizzato nei secoli per la sua posizione strategica sia come elemento del sistema difensivo militare, sia come luogo di controllo delle vie che attraversano la piana.

Storia antica

Anticamente il territorio comunale era abitato dalla tribù dei Carni, facenti parte del popolo celtico e stanziati in tutto il Friuli.
Infatti vi sono evidenti segni lasciati dalla lingua Celtica nell'attuale lingua friulana e nella cultura e nelle tradizioni del popolo friulano.

In un'epigrafe scoperta dal conte Girolamo Savorgnan presso la congiunzione della via Iulia Concordia con la via Iulia Augusta, alcuni hanno visto un indizio probabile dell'esistenza della via Etrusca (l'importanza di questa scritta non è il significato delle parole ma la scrittura in sé, non di epoca romana).
La presenza delle importanti vie di comunicazione enunciate determinò la costruzione di una torre di segnalazione in cima al colle e di conseguenza un insediamento abitativo.

Epoca romana
La pedemontana friulana e la Carnia (e di conseguenza Osoppo) furono conquistate dai romani durante il I secolo a.C (non si hanno notizie precise riguardo all'effettiva conquista del Gemonese da parte dei Romani, ma con buone probabilità avvenne fra il 115 ed il 50 a.C.).

Da quel momento inizió un processo di romanizzazione della tribù gallica dei Carni, che continuerà per tutta l'epoca della dominazione romana e terminerá solo dopo le invasioni dei Germani. Infatti gli ultimi documenti in lingua Celtica nella Gallia Cisalpina si hanno intorno al II secolo d.C.

Il celtico parlato dai carni è alla base della formazione del volgare latino che, unito a elementi germanici, porterà alla formazione della lingua friulana

Il Medioevo e le invasioni Germaniche

Osoppo fu invasa dai barbari dopo la caduta dell'impero romano, ma riuscì a resistere alle incursioni degli avari.
Importante fu soprattutto la dominazione longobarda che interessò il territorio del Friuli (e quindi di Osoppo).
In seguito alla dominazione longobarda Osoppo fu invasa dai Franchi, e successivamente dalle truppe del Sacro Romano Impero Germanico, di cui resterà a far parte fino al 1420, anno dell'invasione Veneziana
Questi quasi 1000 anni di dominazione tedesca, hanno lasciato molte impronte nella cultura e nella lingua Friulana

Possedimento, sul finire del XI, dell'abbazia di Sesto al Reghena, entrò poi a far parte delle proprietà del patriarca di Aquileia, che, verso la metà del duecento, ne concesse l'investitura feudale a una nobile famiglia del luogo (un tale Cono, figlio di Amaldarico). I discendenti di costui si distinsero per la loro turbolenza, che li portò a molestare gli abitanti dei territori vicini ed a simpatizzare con i Conti di Gorizia, tanto da impensierire i Patriarchi che non potevano permettere che il castello, importante per la posizione strategica, finisse sotto il dominio dei rivali. Fu per questo motivo che il patriarca di Aquileia investì nel 1328 Federico Savorgnan del feudo di Osoppo.

Nel 1420 Osoppo passò sotto la dominazione della Repubblica Veneta, che rafforzò le fortificazioni sul colle, facendone il suo baluardo difensivo settentrionale. Per Osoppo iniziò una lunga serie di eroiche e memorabili lotte contro forze assedianti di gran lunga superiori a quelle dei difensori.
La fortezza di Osoppo nel 1514 era sotto il comando di Girolamo Savorgnan, quando scese in Italia l'esercito comandato dal brutale Cristoforo di Frangipane, che era noto per la sua fama di placare la sua ira e la sua sete di sangue sui contadini inermi, il Senato Veneziano ben conscio dei suoi atteggiamenti sulle popolazioni civili, lasciò che tutto il Friuli si arrendesse agli Imperiali, ma il Savorgnan non volle sapere di cedere la sua fortezza, quindi vi si arroccò dentro aspettando i rinforzi dell'esercito veneziano comandato da Bartolomeo d'Alviano.
Il Conte di Frangipane invece di guadare il Tagliamento volle a tutti i costi prima togliere quel "sassolino dalle sue scarpe", ma l'assedio andò per le lunghe, dando il tempo all'Alviano di intervenire, sconfiggendo davanti alle mura di Osoppo l'esercito imperiale e catturando il Conte di Frangipane.

Più volte assediata, fu occupata da francesi, russi e austriaci, che ne tornarono in possesso anche dopo la breve parentesi napoleonica, facendo di Osoppo una guarnigione fissa ed attrezzata con caserme, magazzini e depositi di armi e polveriere.

Storia contemporanea

Durante i moti risorgimentali del 1848 Osoppo resistette per ben sette mesi agli Austriaci e al momento della resa ebbe l'onore delle armi dallo stesso avversario e fu insignita della medaglia d'oro al valor militare.

Fu sede di un presidio militare italiano durante la prima Guerra Mondiale, che fu poi abbandonato perché i militari e le armi presenti a Osoppo furono trasferiti sul fronte dell'Isonzo. Nel 1943 fu occupata dalle armate naziste e ciò le costò pesanti bombardamenti aerei. Durante la guerra di liberazione, Osoppo diede il nome alle formazioni cattoliche partigiane (Brigate Osoppo).

Nel 1943, durante la Resistenza in Friuli si costituirono delle brigate partigiane di orientamento laico cattolico e le chiamarono Brigata Osoppo. Lo scopo delle formazioni Osoppo era duplice: combattere contro i tedeschi e distinguersi dai comunisti soprattutto quando questi ultimi accettarono di passare sotto il Comando delle formazioni jugoslavo. La scelta del nome fu significativa: Osoppo perché durante il Risorgimento, nel 1848, aveva opposto una strenua resistenza all'occupazione austriaca resistendo per quasi 7 mesi all'assedio degli Imperiali. Il 7 febbraio 1945, circa diciassette combattenti della brigata Osoppo furono uccisi dai gappisti (i nuclei combattenti del partito comunista) di Mario Toffanin nel cosiddetto Eccidio di Porzûs.
Nel secondo dopoguerra Osoppo dovette affrontare la dura realtà della ricostruzione e, di conseguenza, una forte emigrazione.

Negli anni settanta raggiunse un buon livello di sviluppo economico con l'istituzione della zona industriale, ma i terremoti del 1976 infersero un altro duro colpo al paese: provocarono enormi crolli e danni, distruggendo l'80% delle abitazioni e uccidendo oltre 120 persone. Molti crolli furono favoriti dall'età avanzata degli edifici, che erano stati risparmiati dalle devastazioni delle guerre mondiali. Dopo il terremoto Osoppo venne riedificata completamente con criteri antisismici.

Onorificenze

Il Comune è stato uno dei primi comuni d'Italia ad essere insignito della medaglia d'oro al valore militare per la strenua difesa contro l'Impero austriaco nel 1848 e recentemente anche della Medaglia d'oro al merito civile.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Tra i principali monumenti ed opere d'arte, sono presenti la chiesa arcipretale di Santa Maria ad Nives, la chiesa di San Giacomo, e la chiesa di San Rocco. Inoltre sono presenti:

 la Fortezza o Rocca di Osoppo - il colle è sempre stato un punto cardine delle difese da invasioni che si spingevano verso sud, presumibilmente abitato sin dal neolitico, assume importanza in epoca celtica ed ancor di più in epoca romana, storica la difesa longobarda contro gli assalti degli àvari, ha avuto un gran ruolo nella difesa della Repubblica di Venezia contro gli imperiali nella Guerra della Lega di Cambrai, nella Prima guerra di indipendenza italiana, ed è stata teatro di combattimenti anche nella prima guerra mondiale.

 Sentiero Storico Naturalistico C.A.I. Osoppo
 In un'ampia zona pianeggiante alla fine della strada che da Borgo Ulivo porta sul Forte di Osoppo, vi sono numerose costruzioni di epoche diverse, dalla dominazione veneta fino alla Grande Guerra.

All'interno dell'antica "Casa del Tamburo", oggi si trova un bar. Sulle pareti dell'edificio vi sono numerose fotografie scattate prima del terremoto del 1976 in Friuli.

Proseguendo il cammino su un comodo sentiero, si arriva alla cosiddetta "piana dei cannoni", appunto perché fino alla battaglia dell'Isonzo erano qui situati una decina di cannoni. Durante la Grande Guerra, i cannoni furono trasferiti sull'Isonzo, perché a Osoppo, che era lontano dalle truppe austro-ungariche, questi risultavano inutili.
Sul sentiero si incontra inoltre l'antico Castello della famiglia Savorgnan e, se si prende una stretta via che si diparte dal sentiero principale, si giunge al cimitero di famiglia dei Savorgnan.

 Sempre sul Forte di Osoppo, prendendo un sentiero che parte di fronte alla "casa del tamburo", si giunge in cima al Colle di Napoleone, passando attraverso alle rovine della caserma francese. Il colle è un ottimo punto panoramico su tutto il territorio del Gemonese, in particolare su Gemona del Friuli, Osoppo, Artegna e Buja.
