The plague of islam.

Attention MSNBC geniuses: 1100 years ago is not “ancient.”

Considering the source, I am wondering if the word choice was intentional to “prove” Arab claims on Israel.

Define “ancient”.

[Verginius Rufus]

1100 years old is not "ancient." The ancient period ends with the end of the Western Roman Empire in 476, before Islam even existed.

I think the inscription reads:

Abdul's Restaurant
Belly Dances Nightly
We Cater
