Happy New Year to our muslim friends!

We have wished our Chinese friends the same and our
American friends the same on Thanksgiving and it is
with the same heart that I wish all of you a happy
new year.

I would remind everyone that universal records show
that western man's history has been many times bloodier
than in the muslim culture and that during the same
centuries muslim tolerance of other religions has been
many times as generous as western man's.

I would also remind us that while the monks in the middle
ages copied and re-copied the ancient greek texts and
kept them sacred - they lost their meaning in many areas
of europe. It was the period of calm in southern Spain
where the moors (muslim) and the spanish (catholic) lived
in harmony for some time - that the muslim scholars helped
the western scholars actually understand the texts the
meanings of which the muslims had never lost.

It was muslims that also gave us the concept of the zero
which previously had not been an element of western thinking
in mathematics but is now very useful (as in DMX is going
to zero).

Also, everyone may not be aware that the muslims, jews,
and catholics plus their offshoots (protestants, anglicans,
etc) all believe in exactly the same old testament. We
all use the same bible. It is only the new testament
(christ) which differs from the koran (mohammed) which
differs from the post-talmud (no one yet).

Happy New Year to a great people. I have no comment on
present day politics which my studies show rarely stand
up to scrutiny after some history except to say that
I have always squirmed not only at the actions of the
Germans; but also the great legacy of the Spanish and
Portugeuse in central and south america, and the French
in Africa, and the British in Africa, Central America,
Australia, etc (I was still in the "A"'s).

May God be merciful to all of us.
