Actually Faith Mohammad's specific instruction was for Universal education and literacy.
Without Islam we would not be holding this conversation.

Interesting then that I didn't find any evidence of that on my google trek.

You might try addressing the actual topic instead of proliferating rabbit trails.

Faith writes: You might try addressing the actual topic instead of proliferating rabbit trails. I am addressing the actual topic by providing actual evidence. What is in the post you are replying to are Arabic Numbers. Islam gave us the concept of Universal Education, Science, the Scientific Method, Zero, Arabic Numbers, Analytic Geometry, Algebra; all of the things on which modern Western Civilization is based. And in fact, all of those things were the product of immigration, bringing together people from all over the Islamic world to share ideas. Immigration brings us new ideas, new perspectives, new genes and new cultural possibilities.

That is a lot of hot air that proves precisely nothing about universal education as an Islamic innovation.

Faith writes: That is a lot of hot air that proves precisely nothing about universal education as an Islamic innovation. Except for a few facts Faith. First the topic is about whether immigration is good or bad. Second, the post you replied to covered even more than just the fact that Muhammad mandated that all learn to read and write.

Lot of assertions, no evidence and as I said I found none on my google search.
Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I see that Laura Ingraham is complaining that she has been treated to the same PC smear campaign I've been talking about. So what else is new? The Left absolutely cannot think but has a commitment to spewing character assassination hatred instead of discussion anyway.

There was labour, which is the same as money for most purposes. When their debts were forgiven, they were free to use their labour for their own (more productive) purposes, instead of making some fat cat even fatter.
There wouldn't have been any money to be "kept" because they would have paid the debt if they'd had it. Faith writes:
You should make up your mind whether you're ranting against socialism "in general" or against just the totalitarian kind of socialism. When you said, "We don't need more socialists," which kind did you mean?
There are hybrid forms of socialism that are less totalitarian but the tendency of socialism is always toward totalitarian oppression in the hands of government. Faith writes:
On the contrary, it seems to be the lefty-types who are pushing for more freedom for blacks, women, homosexuals, etc.
It's the complete opposite of the concepts of personal freedom so hard-won over the centuries before the US Constitution aimed to establish such freedoms as a principle of governance. Faith writes:
They may have been right - but the kind of religion that you preach is thoroughly immoral.
But as John Adams and others of the Founders said in various ways, our system of government can only work well for a religious and moral people, "it is wholly inadequate for the governing of any other." Faith writes:
Y'see, you're the one who is saying we can't afford to "safely" grant freedoms any more. The real danger of totalitarian oppression is from your bunch. Well, we've been losing our character as a "religious and moral people" for quite some time now, well beyond the point where such freedoms can be safely granted and the corporate federation still hold together....And our geese will blot out the sun.

I see that Laura Ingraham is complaining that she has been treated to the same PC smear campaign I've been talking about. So what else is new? Rolling on the floor laughing! You smeared yourself. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World. Worrying about the "browning of America" is not racism. -- Faith I hate you all, you hate me -- Faith No it is based on math I studied in sixth grade, just plain old addition, substraction and multiplication. -- ICANT

You are a bigoted comrade leftist that cannot tolerate anyone who actually thinks rather than toeing the party line. And you are a bigoted idiot who cannot understand that her own remarks about leftists and immigrants she does not like, are simply intolerance. Tolerating intolerance is simply not possible. You are of course, free to be a bigot and to express your views. But you are not free to escape criticism for those views. And that is the truism you will never understand. But it is the essence of what free speech really means. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Faith writes: Multiculturalism is a Satan-inspired weapon for destroying Christian culture The Christianity that might get destroyed by multiculturalism is simply a pathetic perversion of every good thing about Christianity; a worthless caricature of what Jesus message was and quite honestly, worthless and without merit already. It is a pathetic joke; a cult opposed to honesty, worshiping ignorance and with no contact with truth or reality. You are of course free to try to market something that silly but don't be surprised when folk simply laugh.
