Arabic Numerals in American schools?

[TruthSeeker112125]

Lordy, you should see what the Old Testament says to do to non-believers! Holy shit!

Did you mark all that up in the Bible?

Christianity has thousands of years of bloody violence against non-Christians. Perhaps you have heard of the Crusades (plural) against the Muslims? The Inquisitions (plural) against the Jews? The pogroms (plural) against the Jews? The far right KKK against Jews and all non-whites? Any of this ring a bell?

And Christians want everyone to be Christian. They tell us you can only be saved and go to heaven through Jesus Christ. You have no alternative, as they constantly remind us with their John 3:16 signs at football games.

And MAGAs want even more than that. They want a Christian Nation! You know...like a Caliphate.

"Did you mark all that up in the Bible?"

I physically have 6 different, greatly highlighted, & written in Bibles. On My PC, I have 19 different Bibles, 5 Commentaries, & 4 Bible Dictionaries. I also have several Works such as the writings of Josephus, & more.

I know what The Old Testament/ Tanach instructed the 13 physical tribes of Isreal/Yisrael to do, in regards to those who inhabited "The Promised Land", of which,.... If You bothered to research those cultures, You might understand why YAHWEH ordered their destruction, which by the way,...... Even under the Leadership of Joshua, they still did not fully accomplish those "Commandments".

Those "People/Nations" worshiped Baal, Mordoc, & more which basically put, were/are, "False Gods", representative of demonic beings that the "Worshippers", even offered up Human Sacrifices to.

But here's the gist of the problem,....... YAH created all things, whereas Allah has not created squat.

"Jesus Christ" as "Christianity" names Him, (I know Him by His Hebraic to English Name as Yahshuah HaMashiach) came & taught We are to Love Our Brothers & Sisters, in a Compassionate, but not Sexual way, as a major foundational part of His Way.

His Way, is Freely Offered, but,........... Those that refuse/reject it, will at the End Times, eternally suffer for not accepting it.
"Christianity" which came out of Catholicism, in the majority, at least from approx. 415 A,D., has made War upon other "Christians" to this day.

"Christianity" picks & chooses that which pleases it's leaders, & rejects the rest, which explains why there are at least 30,000 Widely Different, & Heretical Sects in the World, with all proclaiming that they are the "Right One".

Islam, is divided between the Shia & Sunni Sects, with each having Sub-sects, and they all largely make war upon each other, basically over the ancient argument of who Succeeded Muhammed, when he died, BUT,.... When it's time for "Jihad" they cast off their differences & lustfully make War upon All who do not accept Allah.

" And Christians want everyone to be Christian. They tell us you can only be saved and go to heaven through Jesus Christ"

I Agree about what "Christianity" wants", & a lot of that is $$$$, & Control of the gullible sheeple.

My Search for The Truth, as well as My growing Belief in The Messiah, got me to drop the "Name of Jesus", for many reasons. One outstanding one is that the Hebrew Language never had a "J" in it, & instead it's always been a "Y", which is baffling since so many "Spiritually Inspired" Giants of "Christianity" that proclaim that they "Talk to the Lord", are "Led by the Lord", etc.

As far as "Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

One must Believe in The Messiah, & His Way only, without the Corruption Taught by Man,... Otherwise, a "Lord!" Proclaimer, who rejects the Teachings of The Messiah, will eventually end up eternally burning in the "Lake of Fire".

Here's a Major Hurdle for the bulk of "Christianity":

Mat 19:16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
Mat 19:17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

The so called "Law" that many "Christians" claim "was nailed to the tree", is an Eternal Covenant, & One keeping it, will be a Requirement in The Kingdom of Heaven.

Hey Ya'll, I Apologize about getting off of the Original topic.

"The word "algebra" is derived from the Arabic word الجبر al-jabr, and this comes from the treatise written in the year 830 by the medieval Persian mathematician, Al-Khwārizmī, whose Arabic title, Kitāb al-muḫtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-ğabr wa-l-muqābala, can be translated as The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing."

The Mongol Disaster of 1258 ... the Mongols co-opted the religion and fashioned it into one of a conquering nation ... and that's why Muslims can't have nice things ...

That is what my MAGA neighbor just spent 20 minutes bending my ear about. Apparently it's the beginning of creeping Sharia law in our society, a deliberate corrupting of our children into islamic terrorists.

The claim is that Mamdami, the new mayor of New York, is mandating that all students must learn Arabic numeral in school.

The issue here is that all of us already know them. Arabic numeral are simply the digits 0-9.

Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools?

Arabic numerals are simply the digits 0 through 9—the standard number symbols used in every classroom in the United States.

This isn't "creeping Sharia", it's rampant stupidity.

I, too, don't understand what's wrong with being a little better educated about the realities of the world's different cultures.

Re:

Actually, the "Arabic numerals" used in the Islamic world are different from what most Westerners know as "Arabic Numerals"

For example:




When I began hitch hiking and walking throughout the Islamic Middle East decades ago, a young Muslim who was riding a town bus seated next to me in Mosul, Iraq insisted that I learn the real "Arabic numerals" for my own good before I got off the bus.

Because he wanted an opportunity to practice his knowledge of the English language and I wanted to better understand Arabic, we made about 2 - 3 laps around the town.

He later invited me to stay with his family for a few days so he could both practice English and he could show me the ancient ruins of Nineveh etc.

After enjoying the generous hospitality of both him and his family, I headed south to Babylon, Ur etc.

About one year later when I got back to the U.S., this young Iraqi and I continued to write each other until years ago when AIPAC (1) and similar parasitic Israeli lobbies manipulated their malleable US Government politicians into sending more young Americans to die in Iraq for "Greater Israel" regional hegemony.

I can only assume the he was among the millions of Iraqis who were slaughtered during America's additional costly and criminal folly due to the domination of U.S. Middle East policy by right wing Israeli lobbies.

Thanks,

No, not really. We say we use Arabic numerals, but we don’t use the same ones that Arabs use today. Our system is based on Arabic numerals, but the symbols are different. If you look at their numerals, they appear totally different from ours. The two systems are based on the same concept, which was developed in India and transmitted through Arab scholars, but the actual symbols we use are not the same.

It depends on what people mean when they say “Arabic numerals.” They must be talking about the original Eastern Arabic numerals, which I see no reason to teach to our children. It doesn’t hurt for them to know that these numerals exist, but why should they learn to use them? They are not part of our culture. Roman numerals would be more relevant to our society, since they are part of Western tradition.

The hoops you kids will jump through to justify this kinda bullshit never cease to amaze me.
