[Life] Paper writing

[nathanialroyale]

It really disgusts me that most of the information I am finding about the Islamic Golden Age and the scientific achievements of that time have to be wrote by Islamic sites because non Islamic sites accuse them of making it up O.o. 8th century to 13th century, they made amazing innovations in every single field, and if it weren't for them it would have been a lot longer before we would have had the Greek philosophy and wisdom's that they translated into Arabic.

Put aside your hates of what SOME Islamic sects have done these days and look past your selfishness, an entire people are not bad, an entire religion is not evil! Ignorance is what ticks me off.

The only source of info that was at the very least neutral was Wikipedia! WTF?!

Look at this list of stuff it's insane!

Innovations of the Muslim World


I really hate when people deny history, I really really really hate it! 
And don't even get me started on people who deny the holocaust >.>

Unfortunately, erasure is all too common in recording history, whether it be the Texas textbook folk, men erasing the contributions of women, blatant racism, denying of atrocities committed by the people in power, or heteronormativity.

I reminds me of a great Sandi Toksvig quote:

"When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar’ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?"

Yah, it is very tiring when you study and write about history. So many things are under spoken of, changed or discredited. It makes you wonder how much you can trust, as really who writes history?

The side that won.
