It’s just a general allergic reaction to bullshyte.
“I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN”
—Thomas Jefferson
Must be the water, or something.
While I view all religion with a skeptical eye, I cannot deny the overall good that has come from both the Jewish and Christian faiths, but of the Muslim faith not nearly so much which is why I view it as more of a cult and a form of governing than a religious based faith. The narrative is the Muslims gave us advanced mathematics, but I find it more likely that they hijacked the fact as their claim of contribution to humanity.
>> Perhaps you have misplaced the origin and it is not the water but rather the DNA. Have you researched your family lineage to see to whom it leads back to?
Well, I did notice there were lots of mosquitoes in the vaccinity when visiting the former swampland along the Potomac. It's possible they're the vector.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

"Who was Muhammad? Muhammad Mustafa was born in 570 A.D and he died 632 A.D. He fled to Medina in 622 A.D after Khadijas death. Who was Khadija? Muhammad married Khadija, when he was 25 years of age and she was 40 years old. Her cousin Waraquah was also a Roman Catholic Meccan and she came from a Roman Catholic convent. So we can say that she is a Catholic nun. She was very rich, she live in the convent and she had the whole of the economy basically in a hand and she employed this young man, Muhammad, whom she then, also married."

(SDRAsia evidently being a Seventh Day Adventist organization, FWIW)
"Islam did not rise except through Ali's sword and Khadijah's wealth,"
I don't find mention of Islamic Convents today -- that's probably because...
Islam
Islam forbids the practice of monasticism and is critical of its practice.
So presumably they were outlawed after the locals sacked the movement of the profit.
