[edit] Biography

Khury was born to a Medical Doctor - Dr. Jarir Khury - who spent 7 years studying in Moscow, Russia's medical-school at the time of Soviet Union's domination. After finishing his studies, Dr. Khury returned to his hometown of Nazareth, carrying the degree of M.D. On 1988, Jarir met Nahla Deeb who lived Acre, studied in Haifa and was born in the Rama Village, Palestine. After Dr. Khury started working in the field of medicine, he was starting to fall in love, so on 1989, Jarir married Nahla Deeb and moved to Nazareth, Palestine in order to start a family. Farouk J. Khury was born on the 25th of March, 1990, in Nazareth's Austrian Hospital, Palestine. Together with his family, Farouk lived in Nazareth for almost a year, then in 1991 he and his family moved to Lehavim, Beer-Sheva, a small town located in the Southern District of Israel because his father was called-in to work there as a Medical Doctor. Although Farouk's living period in Lehavim was short and he was a really young baby, but he still carrys memories of the lovely life in Lehavim. Nowadays, he still carrys the memories of playing in the Jewish kindergarden he went to with the young Lutof Zreik, a good friend of his, whom his father was Khury's father's roomate, they both studied medicine in Moscow, also Khury and Zreik were born in the same evening at the same hospital. Two years after living in Lehavim, Khury had to return to his hometown and start his young life. As a really young boy, Khury went to Nazareth's Christian Kindergarden and when he was old enough to join the first grade and start his elementary school adventures, he joined Nazareth's Baptist School, one of Nazareth's finest schools and started to digest education.

[edit] Modern Anarchism

In these days, Farouk is a step-follower of the father of Anarchristianity, the great Leo Tolstoy himself. Although many regard Tolstoy's The Kingdom Of God Is Within You to be a key text in Christian Anarchism but Tolstoy was well-known for calling for a society based on compassion, nonviolent principles and freedom, and all that will be accomplished if we follow Jesus Christ's steps. Tolstoy even managed to inspire one of the world's greatest historical figures, Mahatma Ghandi, who called for the use of nonviolent resistance during India's struggle for independence. But many still don't understand the theoretical philosophies and principles of Anarchristianity. It is a combination of two words, Anarchism Christianity. Now, what is Anarchism? It's for sure that you've saw a picture or a graffiti art of a circle and in it there's a letter A, well, that picture symbolizes Anarchism, the letter A is for Anarchism, and the circle that surrounds it is a letter O for Order, so we get - Anarchism is Order - and that's the famous slogan of Anarchists. Anarchism is a political philosophy of a group of people, the word's origin is greek, which means "without rulers". Nowadays when we hear about Anarchists, the first thing that comes across our mind is that an Anarchist is a Chaotic Vandalist, and that of course is completely untrue, you see, ask yourself a question, what are rules for? Why do we follow them? And what happens when no one follows and breaks them? Rules are written and said to set and make order and give the equal and best rights to every citizen without any previous judgements. There are many philosophical explanations involving why do we follow rules, but I think that we follow rules because we're afraid, we think that if we follow the rules perfectly then as we've perfectly-served the rules, the rules will perfectly repay us back, but unfortunality that doesn't happen in reality. In reality we follow the rules, we pay our bills, we pay our taxes and we think that we are good citizens, but how does the state repay us? By giving us more taxes, more bills, more community service crap, while the state takes away our honor and dignity, the country fools and takes advantage of us, that's why it's payback time. We must be careful how to pay it back and should not be aggressive, because an Eye for an Eye makes the whole world blind. Now let's answer the third question, what does happen when we don't follow the rules? In other words, what happens when we become Anarchists? I can short out the answer using one word, that is chaos. Imagine all the people breaking the rules, no one follows the rules, there's no order and if there was an order, now it's dead, that brings us to a level of chaos, a life without any boundaries and stop signs. The true defenition of the term Anarchism is a life without any rulers or authorities over human beings, people can do what ever they want, wherever they want and however they want to do it, that brings us to a level of chaos, that level of chaos is nowadays considered to be the true defenition of Anarchism, modern people think that the word Anarchism means chaos, so when I introduce myself as an Anarchist, they straightly think of me as a chaotic revolutionary Vandalist.

[edit] The Pentagram

[edit] The Symbol Itself

The pentagram is an ancient symbol that throughout the years it had represented and symbolized many beliefs, philosophies and religions. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), a noun form of πεντάγραμμος (pentagrammos) or πεντέγραμμος (pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines". Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia. The Pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus, and it also has associations within Freemasonry.

The pentagram has long been associated with the planet Venus, and the worship of the goddess Venus, or her equivalent. It is also associated with the Roman Lucifer, who was Venus as the Morning Star, the bringer of light and knowledge. It is most likely to have originated from the observations of prehistoric astronomers.[citation needed] When viewed from Earth, successive inferior conjunctions of Venus plot a nearly perfect pentagram shape around the zodiac every eight years. The Pythagoreans also used the pentagram to represent the five classical elements:

ύδωρ, Hydor, water
Γαια, Gaia earth
ίδέα, Idea or ίερόν, Hieron "a divine thing"
έιλή, Heile, heat (fire)
άήρ, Aer, air

Back to the Christian used of the pentagram, Medieval Christians believed it to symbolize the five wounds of Christ. The pentagram was believed to protect against witches and demons. The pentagram figured in the heavily symbolic Arthurian romances. It appears on the shield of Sir Gawain in the 14th Century poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In the poem the five lines of the star are given multiple meanings: they represent the five senses, five fingers, the five wounds of Christ, the five joys that Mary had of Jesus (the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Resurrection, the Ascension and the Assumption), and the five virtues of knighthood which Gawain hopes to embody: frankness, fellowship, purity, courtesy and compassion.

[edit] Modern Pentagram

In these days, the pentagram is being used to represent the Rock genre of music. The first Finnish rock band who started using the pentagram is HIM, who claim that their use of the pentagram is not satanic at all and doesn't present Baphomet, but it is a heartagram that represents the love for rock music. Many cults and religions use the pentagram to symbolize their beliefs, for example, Satanists today use the pentagram but upside down, where there are two point at the top, not one, Church of Satan High Priest and author of The Satanic Bible - Anton Szandor LaVey, was the first to use the opposite pentagram as a Satanic symbol that represents Baphomet, the Satanic sea-beast. Another example is the Witchcraft Witches who use the pentagram as a symbol of the Witchcraft. But the main meaning the use of the pentagram is for the sake of Anarchristianity. The pentagram symbolizes the five wounds on the cross, the sacred number five and you can also see a letter A shaping from the pentacle inside the pentagram, that letter A represents Anarchism, while the circle that surrounds the pentacle is the letter O which means Order, so the pentagram means: Anarchristianity is Order.

[edit] Only God

I've pretty much explained the whole conflict between mistaking the true defenition of Anarchism and the modern defenition of it in the previous paragraph, now it's time to explain what Anarchristianity is all about, what does it mean and how is it different than the normal Anarchism. As previously mentioned, Anarchristianity is a combination of two words, two terms and two philosophical lifestyles, Anarchism and Christianity. Many of the Bible's passages call for Christian Anarchism, listen and obey only God himself, no authority is over God, God's the only source of power and authority, for example:

To seek rule by man is to reject the rule of God (1 Samuel 8).
Honest people are too busy making an honest living to accept political power, so only the corruptible will accept political power (The Parable of the Trees Judges 9:7-15).
The devil controls man-made governments (Matthew 4:8-10).
The gentiles have rulers over them, but it shall not be so among Christians (Mark 10:42-45).
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined, let man not separate.(Matthew 19:6).
You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you (Matthew 20:24-28).
We must obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29).
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).
No king but the Lord shall rule over you (Judges 8:23).
Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke? Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? (Isaiah 58:6-7).

If you've read the passages, you can clearly see perfect signs of Christian Anarchism, inwhich the Bible calls for no authority but God and that human beings must not obey the rules of the state, but obey only the rules of God himself, no other authority over the people. The state orders me to keep in order, to follow and obey its rules, but come to think of it, what does the state do for me? is the state that helpful in my life? why does the president have authority over me? There shouldn't be any authority or law powers but God. God is the authority and only God.

[edit] The Dream

All the Christian Anarchists (Anarchristians) share a dream that calls for the Utopic World, the perfect world, inwhich it's the closest to heaven that the man will ever be. The Utopic World (coming from the term Utopia, first used by Plato) for Anarchristians is a world filled with peace, nonviolent acts, pacifists all over, a world where there are no authorities but God, in that world the only ruler over human beings is God, only God has the power to act as an authority over human beings, however, that Utopic World would be perfect only if the people walking in it would walk and follow Jesus Christ's footsteps. That is the perfect picture of the picture of the perfect world for Anarchristians. That Utopic World is a dream for most Anarchristians, in these days there are a lot of new different cults and religions pro or anti-Christianity, that makes it harder to change the whole world to Christians and obey God only, and only God himself and following Jesus Christ's footsteps. So meanwhile, Anarchristians consider the Utopic World as a dream that hopefully will come true. God bless you all.
