I believe there’s a postscript written on them. It says: ‘Islam is a death cult and Mohammed a false prophet.’

How the heck did they read that? It looks more like bar-code than cuneiform...

At least some of the loans had an interest rate of a whopping 33 percent, apparently a typical standard rate for the time in Mesopotamia.

Wait just a minute. I thought muslims were opposed to paying interest. Or is that just to infidels?
