Raping is honorable, I see. Think we'll see any outrage on Al Jazeera?

Since Arabs invented the numbers we use, maybe a small clue in symbols these Pakistani scum may understand...

It's 2005, not 1005.

The term "Honor Rape" is such a dichotomy in terms.

Sort of like "Muslim Scholar."

Bzzzt! The Arabs swiped them from the Indians. They're called Arabic numerals because that's where Europe got them from, but don't claim that the Arabs actually invented them.

The people living in the Indus Valley invented our numbers. We got them "through" the Arabs.

There's a couple of other threads running today with some of the Indus Valley descendants still kvetching about being conquered by those Arabs. No end of complaints with those ol'boys!

arabs didnt invent the numbers they came from south asia. the west discovered them being used by arabs and it was named arabic numerals.. It is a misnomer. They shoudl be called Hindu numerals or sometheing like that. Arabs didn't really use arabic numerals much, they used babalonian numerals. Weird isnt it.
