I was initially going to delete this troll stuff, but then I thought it exactly suggests how Islamist behavior generally looks like. I'm going to point out a few points, then.<BR/><BR/>First, I'm an atheist. I neither believe in Allah, nor the Trinity, nor any other kind of god. So what does these all have to do with me?<BR/><BR/>Second, what people generally call "Arabic numerals" are actually Indian numerals made known to the Western world through Iranian scholars (most notably <I>Kharazmi</I>, in his work <I>On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals</I>). Since Europeans weren't actually smart enough to tell the difference between Iranians and the Arab occupiers of that time they called the numerals "Arabic" while they have nothing to do with Arabs.<BR/><BR/>Third, generally when I see something does not match between the Bible and the Quran, I find it much more probable that the difference is due to Mohammad's apparent lack of Biblical knowledge when he was making up his book.<BR/><BR/>And finally, I find it a general Muslim attitude to expect all the world respect them and their beliefs. Respect should be gained not given to everyone, so don't ever expect people respect you when you don't deserve it.Homayoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964480628264051991noreply@blogger.com
