RE: Muslim vs. Jewish Contributions to the World

Why is Albert Camus listed on the side of the Muslim contributions? Is it because he was born in Algeria?

Where is the proof that he believed that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His prophet?

They were trying to be generous, I guess.

Camus’ mother and father were Pied-Noir which means they were of European descent. The mother was Spanish. Pied-Noir could also be Sephardi Jews so his listing has just as much if not more weight on the other side of the ledger. My guess is was neither.

I too questioned the Camus listing.

A communist and anarchist, he seems to have been most of all - anti-totalitarian. Islam seems to be extremely totalitarian.

(I wouldn’t include him in the Jewish list either)
