Ahmadinejad:
We know this creep'll ---
In his next Jihad,
In-no-cent people:
Kill in name of God
All: Christian, Muslim, Jew [1]
Based on what he said
This dude is rotten
"Holocaust? No dead!
"Should be forgotten"
Surely seems his head
Is filled with camel-pooh!
Middle-east, the start:
Ci-vil-i-zation
Persia's Fertile Crescent, heart:
Of once-proud nation
"Al-gorithm", "al-gebra"
An-es-thesia
And, perhaps, the pal of all:
The distillation: "al-cohol" ... [2]
....Yay!
Home of men quite bright
Biruni: say, "No, [3]
"Earth: 'round sun" - You're right!
E'er Galileo
Galaxy, they sight; [4]
The finite speed of light [3]
[Interlude: 1000 years of frightful backsliding]
Evolution: Darwin, beat [5]
At parody: had
Arwen beat [6]
But...
Ever since that time
Hate: overriding
Deeper in the slime
So surely sliding
Ruled now by this clod
M. Ahmadinejad!
[fading]
Israel? Ain't real, Jew!
Set it on fire
Holocaust? Fake, too
A firm denier....
[Ahmadinejad fades to Hell]
[1] Mr. A. probably had no part in the attacks of 9/11, but he's been quoted as denying that they, too, ever happened. "A building collapsed..." If IIRC, somehthing like 370-odd self-identified Muslims working in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were killed along with all the others. It ain't about religion or ideology, folks, just hate and death.
[2] Yep. "al-Most" (hehe) "all" of those "al"-things trace to Persia, not just names like Al-Qaeda and Al Jazeera. “The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing” was written by Muhammad ibn Musa Khwarizmi approximately 830 A.D. The term "algebra" is derived from the name of one of the basic operations with equations ("al-jabr") described in this book.
Even "al-Gore"! Yes, the term "Aryan" referred to languages of the Indo-Iranian language group, and by extension, to speakers of those languages. The term "Caucasian" (for us "white" people) comes from the Caucasus Mountains in northern Iran and the surrounding region. The word "Caucasus" derives from Caucas, the ancestor of the North Caucasians. He was the great-grandson of the Biblical Noah, whose descendants eventually emigrated to Europe, then to the New World. Fun facts!
[3] Abu Rayhan al-Biruni (974-1048) supported the heliocentric (Sun, not earth, is the center of our turf) theories proposed by India's scholars of around 500 A.D. This was over 500 years before Copernicus' theories, and about 600 years before Galileo. He was among the first, along with Ibn al-Haytham, to propose that the speed of light was in fact finite, though it seems instantaneous to our eyes.
[4] Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (903-986) observed and named the Andromeda galaxy, the first one to be identified outside of our own.
[5] Nasir al-Din Tusi (1201-1274) developed a basic theory of evolution more than 600 years before Charles Darwin.
[6] Couldn't find a source for this (the rest came from Wikipedia; look them up; it's fascinating, esp. the article on "Science and Technology In Iran"), but those guys must have been a bundle of laughs compared to the jerks running the show now.
Why were this knowledge and these scientists ignored or suppressed in European civilization? Guess you'd have to ask the church that was running the Western show during the Dark and Middle Ages.
Why weren't we taught these things in school? Oh, I dunno... maybe a little, uh, "cultural prejudice" on *our* part? What a shame things descended to this. We could have been on the Starship Enterprise by now if all of that progress hadn't been ignored or discarded, which makes the past and current situations even more of a pity.
