The Power of Rewriting History ... ran into it today.

So I was searching out a school a relative attended in Tuscany in the 30s. The nuns wore a distinctive wimple. As I searched on the wimple, I discovered that according to the first website brought up, that of course wimples were brought back by the Crusaders to the benighted women of the Western culture. Muslims taught western women to use wimples. Because of course Western women were too darned stupid to cover their heads themselves, although they had been doing it for millennia.

I have noticed recently that many historical reads say that Islam and Muslims have taught the west just about everything.

Nothing like bits and bites to hold history.

Illustration of wimple
a wimple

The definition presented by Merriam Webster Dictionary:

wimple noun
wim·​ple ˈwim-pəl

1: a cloth covering worn over the head and around the neck and chin especially by women in the late medieval period and by some nuns.

So yes, a blatant attempt to rewrite hitory, without a doubt.

The Soviets also claimed to have invented just about everything. The truth about Islam is that after they take over progress dies. Anything good that came out of Islamic countries was usually the human capital from the conquered population before that got used up or destroyed. The exceptions I’ve noticed come from exceptional leadership that basically ignored Islamic dogma.
