VMI update
VMI: Training officers for the Dhimmi Army since 2011. I always get extremely offended with some educrat puts out a press release like this: “No, no, you little people don’t understand what we really were trying to accomplish.”
Just cancel the @)!($* thing.
Fact 1: Tariq ibn Ziyad 'crossing the Strait of Gibraltar' WAS a muslim invasion of Europe.
Fact 2: The materials for the conference originally stated that it's purpose was to 'celebrate' this time where muslims, Jews and Christians 'thrived together'.
I wonder if the writer would care to explain what, exactly, he finds 'regrettable' about a 'blogger' telling the TRUTH about the conference.
I think I's startin' to unnerstan' the sichyashun now.
Turns out, th' real important-like stuff they'se tryin' to accomm-plish is jus' too darn 'complex' fer the likes a me t' figger out!
Why, if they'da jus' tol' me that frum th' git-go I never wooda raized such a fuss over this ol' bidniss!
Looks like the EESH (Evil Elves of Smith Hall) are at it again.
Unfortunately, the conference as described by VMI itself went beyond legitimate educational purposes and proferred a pro-Arab agenda that distorted the real historical events. And while the early period of the Cordoba Caliphate was relatively tolerant for its time and place in history, the West in general, and the U.S. in particular have long surpassed the levels of "tolerance" shown in that Caliphate. So the idea that we have something to learn about peace and tolerance from a culture that was both less peaceful and less tolerant is simply absurd.
Unless, of course, the conference was going to advance the concept that Cordoba was more tolerant than we are today, which is how the program sounded. And THAT is a historical lie that needs to be refuted.
Maybe present this conference in the Taliban and convince them that they need to look back 1100 or so years in history to find a time when they were a bit more civilized. But we are already far beyond that.
