I saw a list a while ago of the cities with the highest murder rates. Most were in Latin American countries where the population is predominantly descended from the pre-Columbian inhabitants. Why is that?

Maybe we should replace Columbus day with Charles Martel Day. Today is the anniversary of his victory in 732 at the battle of Tours.

That is an interesting finding from that list.

Columbus and Charles Martel are both worth celebrating.

I read once that Columbus hoped his expeditions would provide new wealth that would be used to take back the Holy Land.

Why is that?

Drugs.

Perhaps we should remember Columbus and Martel with a holiday, “Muslim Resistance Day” to be celebrated on October 11th of each year.
