# Rice Christian

The expression rice Christian is a term used to describe someone who has formally converted to Christianity for material benefits rather than for religious reasons.

## Quotes

* As to the Converts these people have made, I have been credibly informed that they are chiefly of the very poor people; and that in the scarce times, their alms of rice have converted more than their preaching; and as to those also have been converted, as they call it, that is, to beads and new images, and belief in the Pope, they have fallen off again, as Rice grew plentiful, and would no longer be Christians than while the Priests administered food to them.
** On the efforts of Christian Missionaries in Tonquin, from the book Voyages and descriptions (1699), William Dampier
* We're very conscious of making ‘rice Christians'. Our organisation is purely a religious organisation.... We don't even teach English here, so if they want to become a Jehovah's Witness, it's because they want to become a Jehovah's Witness, not because they're getting any material benefit out of it.
** Vernon Elvish, a Jehovah's Witnesses missionary in Cambodia, as quoted in "Proselytising amid the poverty". The Phnom Penh Post. 03 September 2008.

# Persians

The Persians are an Iranian ethnic group who comprise over half of the population of Iran. They share a common cultural system and are native speakers of the Persian language as well as of the languages that are closely related to Persian.

## Quotes

* And dear as the wet diver to the eyes Of his pale wife who waits and weeps on shore, By sandy Bahrein, in the Persian Gulf, Plunging all day in the blue waves, at night, Having made up his tale of precious pearls, Rejoins her in their hut upon the sands— So dear to the pale Persians Rustum came.
** Matthew Arnold, from "Sohrab and Rustum", Poems (1853)
* The Persians are the most civilized of the peoples of the East, and what the French are to Europe, they are to the Orient... Their bearing and countenance is the best-composed, mild, serious, impressive, genial and welcoming as far as possible. They never fail to perform at once the appropriate gestures of politeness when meeting each other... They are the most wheedling people in the world, with the most engaging manners, the most supple spirits and a language that is gentle and flattering, and devoid of unpleasant terms but rather full of circumlocutions.
** Jean Chardin, as quoted in in R. W. Ferrier, A Journey to Persia: Jean Chardin's Portrait of a Seventeenth-century Empire (1996), p. 111
* As regards the qualities of the Persians we are in the main dependent on Greek sources. Clearly they were not a people that we should call intellectual. They do not themselves seem to have had an inclination towards literature, medicine, or philosophical and scientific speculation. They were probably most at ease when living as country gentlemen. Despite the uncompromising black and white of their religious creed as expressed by Darius, there is no trace of fanaticism in them, and in general they would seem to have been tolerant. They liked to live in pleasant surroundings; coming from a country in which cultivation is restricted to fertile patches of watered land they may have been rather narrowly ‘oasis-minded’. Luxury appealed to them.
** Cook, J. M. The Persian empire 1983. page 230. Also quoted in The Shape of Ancient Thought by Thomas McEvilley
* If scholarship hung suspended in the highest parts of heaven, the Persians would attain it.
** Muhammad, quoted by Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddimah, as translated by Franz Rosenthal, vol. III, pp. 311-15, 271-4; Arabic: R. N. Frye (p. 91)
* The Persians, very good negotiators. Great negotiators, legendary negotiators. They're known for it. They're sitting across the table.
** Donald Trump, speech at Liberty University, C-SPAN (18 January 2016), Online

# Persia White

Persia White (born 25 October 1972) is an American actress, singer and musician. She is best known for her role as Lynn Searcy on the sitcom Girlfriends (2000–2008).

## Quotes

* I’ve always been an animal-lover and when I was about twelve I became a vegetarian. My mom subscribed to PETA’s magazine and I just started looking at the level of what it was. And I just thought it was unkind, so I made my personal choice — which at that point had nothing to do with the global scale of the situation. And so I know it was really early, but I made up my mind then to become an entertainer primarily because I thought I could help. I noticed that all my friends respected entertainers and knew more entertainers names than politicians names, so that was my turning point from possibly doing politics to entertainment … So that was one of the reasons I went into this field. And then the more I kept going career-wise, the more I’ve been able to use that vehicle — that megaphone. And that was exciting — the only exciting part, personally, about being a celebrity. I don’t think there’s anything good about it, except the ability to make positive change.
** "Ecorazzi Celebrates Vegetarian Awareness Month With Actress/Musician Persia White", interview with Ecorazzi (20 October 2008).
* In life it’s always a bit of a challenge to be ethically motivated, and it’s not very different in this career. In the play I use all fake leather and no animal products on my face, hair or body. It’s up to me to put in the effort in life to make the most compassionate impact on the world around me without being rude or inconsiderate to others.
** "Exclusive: Ecorazzi Gets Our Green On With Actress And Musician Persia White", interview with Ecorazzi (5 August 2009).
* Getting involved in Earthlings was pretty intense because there were still a lot of things I didn’t know. To raise compassion and awareness is so necessary. The documentary is not just about animals, it’s about how we treat each other as well. How we have empathy for the weak and we don’t abuse it. It exposes the truth. It is a very difficult film to get into mainstream because there are so many corporations that will hurt if their secrets revealed.
** "Persia White Interviews With Marta Walsh", interview with Talking Makeup (27 October 2009).
# Persian literature

Persian literature (Persian: ادبیات فارسی, romanized: Adabiyâte fârsi) comprises oral compositions and written texts in the Persian language and is one of the world's oldest literatures.

## Quotes

* When we turn our attention to a peaceful, civilized people, the Persians, we must—since it was actually their poetry that inspired this work—go back to the earliest period to be able to understand more recent times. It will always seem strange to the historians that no matter how many times a country has been conquered, subjugated and even destroyed by enemies, there is always a certain national core preserved in its character, and before you know it, there re-emerges a long-familiar native phenomenon. In this sense, it would be pleasant to learn about the most ancient Persians and quickly follow them up to the present day at an all the more free and steady pace.
** —Goethe; source: Josef Wiesehofer, "Ancient Persia". I. B. Tauris; New Ed edition (August 18, 2001). Introduction page

# Persianization

Persianization (/ˌpɜːrʒəˌnaɪˈzeɪʃən/) or Persification (/ˌpɜːrsɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/; Persian: پارسی‌سازی), is a sociological process of cultural change in which a non-Persian society becomes "Persianate", meaning it either directly adopts or becomes strongly influenced by the Persian language, culture, literature, art, music, and identity as well as other socio-cultural factors. It is a specific form of cultural assimilation that often includes a language shift. The term applies not only to cultures, but also to individuals, as they acclimate to Persian culture and become "Persianized" or "Persified".

## Quotes

* The third important feature which developed in the early formative centuries of Islam relates to the heritage of Persia or cajam as the Arabs called it. Hindu or Buddhist India was not conquered until the thir­teenth century and parts of it remained outside of Muslim control until as late as the sixteenth century. Similarly, the Byzantine state was not fully conquered (by the Turks) before the mid-fifteenth century. But Persia was conquered in its entirety in the seventh century and by the eleventh century had already largely converted to Islam. It is not sur­prising therefore that of the three metropolitan classical traditions of In­dia, Greece and Persia it was Persia that resurfaced with an integral identity within the Islamic context.10 The Persian imperial tradition could not persist anywhere outside Islam and as a result a vigorous Per­sian resurgence occurred within it. From its Arab roots the Islamic con­quest state then shifted to a Persianized foundation.
** A Wink, Al-Hind, The Making of the Indo-Islamic World. Volume 1
* The assimilation of the secular categories of Greek philosophy, however, was no aim in itself but part of an obstinate attempt to rid Islam of the germs of the ancient Perso-Aramaic or Manichaean free-thinking, zandaqa, and its manifestations of moral cynicism which the Arabs called mujun.16 This conflict between the Arab and Persian traditions really went much deeper. The anti-Arab polemics of the Persian literati which became designated as the shucubTya movement introduced elements of a Welt­anschauung which never ceased to be disruptive in the eyes of the or­thodox.
** A Wink, Al-Hind, The Making of the Indo-Islamic World. Volume 1
* The heritage of Persia, while conflicting with the egalitarian sobriety of the pristine religion, was to become a decisive force in the formation of Islamic society; so much so that when in later centuries the Indians and the Greeks entered Islam it was no longer an Arab Islam but a Persian Islam that they entered.
** A Wink, Al-Hind, The Making of the Indo-Islamic World. Volume 1
# Persian Jews

Persian Jews or Iranian Jews (Persian: یهودیان ایرانی‎, yahudiān-e-Irāni; Hebrew: יהודים פרסים‎) are the descendents of Jews who were historically associated with the Persian Empire, whose successor state is Iran. The biblical books of Esther, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah contain references to the lives and experiences of Jews who lived in Persia. Dating back to biblical times, Iranian Jews constitute one of the world’s oldest and most historically significant Jewish communities. Jews have had a continuous presence in Iran since the time of Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire. Cyrus invaded Babylon and freed the Jews from the Babylonian captivity.

## Quotes

* "…they are obliged to live in a separate part of town…; for they are considered as unclean creatures… Under the pretext of their being unclean, they are treated with the greatest severity and should they enter a street, inhabited by Mussulmans, they are pelted by the boys and mobs with stones and dirt… For the same reason, they are prohibited to go out when it rains; for it is said the rain would wash dirt off them, which would sully the feet of the Mussulmans… If a Jew is recognized as such in the streets, he is subjected to the greatest insults. The passers-by spit in his face, and sometimes beat him… unmercifully… If a Jew enters a shop for anything, he is forbidden to inspect the goods… Should his hand incautiously touch the goods, he must take them at any price the seller chooses to ask for them... Sometimes the Persians intrude into the dwellings of the Jews and take possession of whatever please them. Should the owner make the least opposition in defense of his property, he incurs the danger of atoning for it with his life... If... a Jew shows himself in the street during the three days of the Katel (Muharram)…, he is sure to be murdered."

# Population ecology

Population ecology or autoecology is a sub-field of ecology that deals with the dynamics of species populations and how these populations interact with the environment.

## Quotes

* Perhaps you see big trees and little trees and think that big trees are older than little trees. You also might notice that there are more little trees than big trees, and so not every little tree grows up to be a big tree – most die young. But the little trees must come from somewhere, namely seeds produced and shed by the bigger trees. These are the core ideas of population ecology.
** John Pastor, Mathematical Ecology of Populations and Ecosystems (2008), Ch. 1 : What is mathematical ecology and why should we do it?

# Population

A population is a summation of all the organisms of the same group or species, which live in a particular geographical area, and have the capability of interbreeding.

## Quotes

* If this were true, the population of the world would be at a stand-still. In truth, the rate of birth is slightly in excess of death. I would suggest that the next edition of your poem should read: “Every moment dies a man, every moment 1 $^1$/$_{16}$ is born.” Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 $^1$/$_{16}$ will be sufficiently accurate for poetry.
** Charles Babbage, cited in: New Scientist, 4 December 1958, pg.1428.
** Comment in response to Alfred Tennyson’s poem Vision of Sin, which included the line Every moment dies a man, // every moment one is born.
* Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio, Subsistence, increases only in an arithmetical ratio.
** Thomas Robert Malthus An Essay on The Principle of Population, Chapter I, paragraph 18, lines 1-2.

# Population transfer

Population transfer or resettlement is the movement of a large group of people from one region to another, often a form of forced migration imposed by state policy or international authority and most frequently on the basis of ethnicity or religion but also due to economic development. Banishment or exile is a similar process, but is forcibly applied to individuals and groups.

## Quotes

* Nobody in the White House could claim not to know the horrors that had been visited upon East Pakistan. In a major report in September, the CIA guessed that “some 200,000 or more residents of the area have been killed,” and noted that East Pakistan had experienced “one of the largest and most rapid population transfers in modern times.”
