Praising Islam
(2)
Other notes:
Pluto: 134340!?
Pope irritates Islam
Debra LaFave
Fast Al, Kabocha Chan, and Tutu LaRue
Pluto has been demoted to a six digit number. The times they are a-changin'.
And this is interesting: Pope Benny has irritated Islam! Naughty-naughty: 'Thou shalt not piss off another religion... especially if it is huge. Tiny religions... maybe. Humongous religions... uhuh. Bad idea.' I say this in all earnestness. There is a huge difference between a pantywaist like me (for example) pissing off The Jews, and The Pope pissing off Islam. El Pappa represents billions. Such a representative must not insult other billions. Such an act would be extremely irresponsible. Do you want to 'influence Islam?' Here is the way: praise Islam. Remind the world that there was a time when Islamic culture was the sole repository of scientific knowlege, which knowlege would have been lost to Humanity forever had it not been for Islamic scholars. That is the way. Islam will lap it up. And as Islam cogitates on the obvious reversal of an ancient situation Islam will wonder: 'What happened?' Islam will then begin an in-depth investigation... of itself! Do you want to irritate Islam and praise Islam at the same time? Then remind Islam of the teachings of Omar Kahyyam:
Indeed the Idols I have lov'd so long
Have done my Credit in this World much wrong:
Have drown'd my Glory in a shallow cup,
And sold my Reputation for a Song.
