    Mamdami is forcing children to participate in a heinous Islamic ritual called Al-gebra. It’s like, demonic spells or something.

    Excuse me… all the links above use Arabic numbers: they are unreliable.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter

      I was honestly surprised when I visited Egypt for the first time and discovered they have different symbols for numbers in Arabic. Also, they look kind of the same as the one used with Latin alphabet, but there are some tricks like ٥ is 5 and ٦ is 6, so yeah … you have to learned them, you can’t just guess.

    AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:

    AKA dumb and ignorant people believe more lies. Trump loves the uneducated.

      The Republican strategy for decades was to target fifth-grade intelligence. Trump’s political innovation was to target third-grade intelligence.

    I know right wingers in general are thick, but Americans really do seem to take it to a new level the dull witted.

    I’m sure that IC% of them wouldn’t even recognise the joke.

      I have to spend a lot of time in 'Murica, unfortunately

      It’s amazing how stupidity isn’t just accepted, it’s celebrated

      I know so many extremely intelligent yanks, but the average punter on the street is as thick as pigshit

      The worst thing is that this isn’t their fault

      It began in the eighties, and has been done deliberately

    In all seriousness thank God for the Arabic number system. It would be a nightmare to use Roman numerals for math

    This is always how it starts, then these terrorist camps will teach children how to READ. Can you imagine a society full of these people? The end is nigh, please save us president Trump.

    Just an FYI, it originated in India. It’s called Arabic because it was introduced to Europe via the Arabs, however, both of the numeral system that are widely used in the Arab world came from India.

    I would say it wouldn’t hurt but it’s like tossing a hot dog down a hallway; kids will just be more confused and retention will likely be zero; as in how many people are still able to even read cursive writing? Let’s see how this pans out, I guess?

      Say you don’t understand the science without saying you don’t understand the science. You don’t have even a cursory, Wikipedia-level understanding. You have a 19th-century understanding, but science has since developed better understandings of sex and gender.
