  • I don’t think it’s a stretch to comment on Americans always making things about celebrities and influencers, even if there is many facets to war.

    This is the facet on the war, of which there are many, that the posts and the commenter highlight and I’m commenting on it because I find the talk of “bloodthirst” and “sad there’s innocent people killed, better take some of those influencers with them” appalling.




  • Plato’s Academy definitely did not start as a mosque… So I guess you’re refering to al-Qarawiyyin University.

    Islam did a much better job of incorporating science, so it’s not really comparable to a seminary either. It’s not like they only taught theology there. We owe a great deal to the science being done by Muslims in those days. A hell of a lot more happened there than in the Middle Ages in Europe.

    Besides, the university of Cambridge also started as a religious institution. I see no difference. All old universities have religious roots I guess? It took a long time for mankind to come up with secular education so why are the Islamic roots even a cause to question the validity of this university?

    “In the United States of America”.

    The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?

    One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.
