I posted this to another thread, but it applies here.

I've heard that part of the problem is with Arabic. Classical Arabic is the language of thought, of the university. The masses of people though they learn to read their dialect of Arabic cannot readily understand or read clasical Arabic. Even up until recent times, educated people in Western could read Latin and often Greek. Imagine if all important books were still published in Latin. Classical Arabic has such a hold because it's the language of the Koran.

So, many of these people are technically literate, but completely lacking in the ready access to higher literary communication. So, if you misquote Nietzsche to them they're not going to correct you. :^) A lot of them are just bootlicks for the Imams that tell them their version of the will of Allah.

Excellence again from VDH.

Question:

Why did you excerpt the second half of the article? You related to quidnunc?
