Hiya folks,

Yesterday was a bust. My promos are kicking my butt, and to added insult to injury we entertained a couple of Greg’s law buddies and their families.

Did I mention my promos were kicking my butt? Yeah, they are!

After dinner, the topic of Islam and Muslims came up. Let me start by saying I don’t suffer close minded, ill informed, under educated, bigots well. Okay, I don’t suffer them at all.

One of the guys, we’ll call him BA (bitch ass), took a jab at Greg because he excused himself to pray. First of all, Greg prays as if he’s collecting Holy points. Second, if BA was so manly, why did he wait until Greg was upstairs before incorrectly alluding that he was Muslim? And since when has being Muslim been a negative?

You know what happened next. I snapped.

BA said Islamic culture attributed nothing to civilization so doing away with them isn’t big deal. I kindly reminded him that were it not for Muslims he’d be drinking dirty water, ignorance of the globe’s circumference, and dead from want of proper medicine and/or his doctor’s poor understanding of the circulatory system. BUT he wouldn’t have died in America or in a hospital for that matter because Christopher Columbus wouldn’t have had their maps* and Muslims created the first hospitals where they treated everyone not just fellow Muslims. And, yeah, that telescope thingy…Muslims created it thousands of years before the West!

Also, most words in the English language beginning with ‘Al’ are borrowed the Islamic world and Latin. Example: Alchemy, alcohol, alloyed, algebra, and algorithm. These were Muslim contributions to Western civilization—without them we’d be lost. Some people’s stupidity is staggering. How do you not know this stuff?

In the end, Greg had to pull me off of him and I lost my already strained voice. Bigotry gets on my nerves!

*Yes, old Chris read them wrong, which the Jews on board pointed out, but he still had them. And Isabella and Ferdinand didn’t sponsor his voyage, a Jewish guy bankrolled the expedition while another Jew had to stop Isabella from killing our homey Chris for setting sail. *rubs temples*

Rant Over….

Anyway, here are a few excellent documentaries. “Science and Islam” is really good. Check out the channel. Enjoy….
