AllRoverAsia Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Is this thread specific to 9/11 or more general 'In a world without Muslims' and wherever that leads to? Thought I should clarify first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 It was a terrible pun I found on reddit that uses a clickbait headline to set your expectations up for one thing (blaming the Muslim community for 9/11) and gives another (pointing out our numbering system was based on Arabic numbers and without it we'd still be using roman numerals). It kinda loses something when I explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave birch Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Indeed it does, Glenn. Sort of falls flat, and you generally have to spend more time explaining it, which defeats the whole point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The British way of expressing that date is 11/9 So 119 = CXIX ? Also, did the Arabs invent their number system before Mohammed came along or after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did the Arabs invent their number system before Mohammed came along or after? And it isn't actualy Arabic. The system developed in India in the 6th/7th century and was picked up by the Arabs and introduced to Europe around the 12th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they all have native English names... continuing the usual theme (no I am not being racist !!!!! I am observing fact.) They reckon "this is happening in every city in Britain"... Is this a cultural difference ? education ? what is it exactly and how the FK do we stop it ? It seems that because these native English paedos specifically targetted non-white children that it's also somewhat of a race hate crime. Another one that will get covered up by the white loving media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
