Here's another contribution to society by the Moors..

We spend a dozen years in school learning the prescribed stories, and then the rest of our lives unlearning them and finding out everything they "forgot" to mention.
Like the Imaginary Greatness of FDR for example
interestingly enough-----I agree with POGO about the worthlessness of the USA history curriculum------it is
actually----the BRITISH POV that we learn in "THE
HISTORY OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION". history according to Queen Victoria. however amongst the
myths is the concept of "the Islamic golden age of intellectualism'------I remember CLEARLY the bullshit idea
in my ninth grade history class that claimed that the CRUSADES brought the ENLIGHTENMENT of the Islamic
world back home------there was a picture of a crusader on
horseback ----STARING at a lemon. The text implied that
MUSLIMS INVENTED LEMONS.
You can't "invent" a lemon. It's part of nature.
You can certainly post them though.
The word "Lemon" btw ....... comes to us from .......... Arabic.![]()
But originated in Assyria from where the arabs stole it. The far east had Lemons before the arab's knew they existed and they were traded all along the silk road by the Chinese. As were many spices from the far east as well as silk

Uhhh----- yeah, no advancements were unavailable. That was kind of the point.
Point of what? some idiot article written by idiots that claim
that muslims INVENTED glass, microscopes, mathematics,
matzoh balls, lemons?
I see. So you were content to take the 12-year pill and then gofor the rest of your life.
Well --- it shows.
newsflash------neither arabs as arabs nor muslims as muslims----invented anything------not even Felafel------with one exception------they invented the idea of putting cardamom in coffee
Apparently this cult goes back a looooooong way.![]()
"whatever is in the video which I cannot access---it is garbage" --- kinda says it all.
"I didn't read it but whatever it said was bullshit".
Massive, massive intellectual dump. You must be taking Mentalmucil.
So where is your supporting evidence then, as one source is not valid
"Supporting evidence" ..... for.....?
All the claims made in the video of course, only having the one source calls the validity into question. Having opposing sources shows that LIES are being told

the word LEMON came from Hebrew----before it came from
Arabic. In fact----the word is Lemon in Aramaic too---In a sentence-----Jesus wanted a lemon for his tea (if there had
been tea in the middle east by then). The word SCHMUCK
comes to us from Yiddish----but I don't know from where Yiddish got it
Nu-uh.
OED:
lemon (n.1)
type of ovate, pale yellow citrus fruit, c. 1400, lymon, from Old French limon "citrus fruit" (12c.), which comes via Provençal or Italian from Arabic laimun, from Persian limu(n), a generic terms for citrus fruits (compare lime (n.2)). Cognate with Sanskrit nimbu "the lime."
Know what else is Arabic?

your citation is bull shit------anyone who knew Hebrew----(lots of people) knew the Hebrew word for LEMON is LEMON--long before the barbaric moors invaded Sicily. Of course I know lots of words "from Arabic" ----mostly those words which came to sicily via the barbaric moors-----which are really hebrew
You can't even construct a coherent sentence in English --- and I'm supposed to take your word over the OED on etymology?
Yeah you go with that.
yes. The word is Hebrew and was Hebrew long before Arabic was a written language. It may have been Persian first----I don't know. Muhummad did not invent lemons. My sentences are coherent. There are misconceptions in the world that creep into the literature
Nobody anywhere ever claimed "Mohammed invented lemons". That's absurd even for a strawman.
persons here----including you, claimed that "MUSLIMS"---
or "MOORS" introduced their own innovations to Europeans who WOULD NOT HAVE THEM had it not been for "MUSLIMS" or "MOORS" invading Europe. ----that is
ABSURD. People who had those particular "innovations"
had been residing in Europe for CENTURIES before muslims
and moors GOT THERE. As to the translations of books----
Christians and Jews had the GREEK AND LATIN STUFF
long before MUSLIMS got the Christians and Jews to TRANSLATE them into Arabic. People were on the MOVE--
during the whole era in question-----Christians and Jews and
Zoroastrians were moving around just as much as were arabs.
Your mistake is in actually BUYING the idiotic notion that anything that happened in area CONQUERED by marauding
arab/muslims was THEIR PROPERTY OR INVENTION even
before the inception islam. Phonecians are the accepted
founders of "GLASS MAKING"-----somewhere in Syria----but
muslims take credit for that innovations too----along with the
microscope and----lots of ZOROASTRIAN astronomy. The
phrase "Islamic architecture" is actually HILARIOUS

Your cut and paste says that it came from Persia not arabic, making it Assyrian in origin. You cant jump 1000 years just so a fact will meet with your POV and hope not to be found out and ridiculed.

An interesting comment, since at the time I posted that you went:

No shit. I do translations myself. And they have nothing whatever to do with religion -- mine or anyone else's.

Ah, reading comprehension.
See where it says the word "Lemon"? Understand the difference between the word and the object itself?
Nobody anywhere ever claimed "Mohammed invented lemons". You can't 'invent' what Nature already did. That's Rosie's strawman.

British Archeologists often find glass objects in the ruins of Roman buildings, and have also found stained glass from before 1 C.E. This shows that the Romans had glass making before the invention of islam. In fact science shows that the moors or muslims invented nothing and are consumate LIARS when they claim they have

Yeah you go with that.
I have no doubt the Hebrew word is similar. Hebrew and Arabic are closely related. But we got it from the Arabs. Like it or lump it -- one lump or two?
Oh btw there's another one, sugar --- we get it from Persian --- via Arabic. So do German, Spanish, Italian and even the Slavic langs.

See the bolded words above? Or are they too obvious? "from Arabic laimun"
Thus the path in chronological order is:
Persian (concurrent with Sanskrit) > Arabic > Provençal/Italian > English
See the word "Arabic"?
See my original post that "the word Lemon comes to us from Arabic"?
