where he was received with honor by the Dar ul Hikmat and also by the Khalifa
Mustansir, to whom he became counselor..."Spartacus" writes to "Cato" that he is thinking of "warming up the old system of the
Ghebers and Parsees ," and it will be remembered that the Ghebers were one of the
sects in which Dozy relates that Abdullah ibn Maymun found his true
supporters.338 Weishaupt writes: The allegory in which the Mysteries and Higher
Grades must be clothed is Fire Worship and the whole philosophy of Zoroaster or of
the old Parsees who nowadays only remain in India; therefore in the further
degrees the Order is called "Fire Worship" (Feuer-dienst), the "Fire Order," or the
"Persian Order"—that is, something magnificent beyond all expectation. ... At the
same time the Persian calendar was adopted by the Illuminati ... this pretence of
Zoroastrianism was as pure humbug as Weishaupt's later pretence of Christianity...
his system was partly founded on Manichæism, that is to say, on perverted
Zoroastrianism, imparted to him by a man from the East, and that the methods of
the Batinis and Fatimites may have been communicated to him through the same
channel. Hence the extraordinary resemblance between his plan of organization
and that of Abdullah ibn Maymun, which consisted in political intriguing rather
than in esoteric speculation. Thus in Weishaupt's system the phraseology of
Judaism, the Cabalistic legends of Freemasonry, the mystical imaginings of the
Martinistes, play at first no part at all. For all forms of "theosophy," occultism,
spiritualism, and magic Weishaupt expresses nothing but contempt , and the Rose-
Croix masons are bracketed with the Jesuits by the Illuminati as enemies it is
necessary to outwit at every turn.
(^) ... the more we penetrate into his system, the more apparent it becomes that all the
formulas he employs which derive from any religious source—whether Persian, Egyptian,
or Christian—merely serve to disguise a purely material purpose, a plan for destroying
the existing order of society. Thus all that was really ancient in Illuminism was the
destructive spirit that animated it and also the method of organization it had imported
from the East. Illuminism therefore marks an entirely new departure in the history of
European secret societies... "Above all," he writes to "Cato" (alias Zwack), "guard the
origin and the novelty of (·) in the most careful way." The pretence of having discovered
some fund of ancient wisdom is the invariable ruse of secret society adepts; the one
thing never admitted is the identity of the individuals from whom one is receiving
direction.

Associated Press Writer Diaa Hadid, Cairo:
SHUEBA, Yemen (AP) — A 13-year-old Yemeni child bride who bled to death shortly
after marriage was tied down and forced to have sex by her husband, according to
interviews with the child's mother, police and medical reports. The girl's mother, Nijma
Ahmed, 50, told the Associated Press that before her daughter lost consciousness, she said
that her husband had tied her up and forced himself on her. "She looked like she was
butchered," she said about her daughter's injuries. Elham Assi, 13, bled to death hours
after she spoke to her mother and just days after she was married to a 23-year-old man.
She died on April 2 in the deeply poor Yemeni village of Shueba, some 200 kilometers
