even ancient history can be used for that, at least among more right leaning people, i think

2018-10-14 09:55:16 UTC  

Hmm. True.

2018-10-14 09:55:56 UTC  

like eg. 'the crusaders were tough and brave'... no they were just thugs motivated by self gain and fanatical religion when it suited them (like a lot of other historical warriors)

2018-10-14 09:56:51 UTC  

you should actually listen to (or read; I listened to it) Tom Holland's 'In the Shadow of the Sword' some time

2018-10-14 09:57:02 UTC  

it's an interesting book

2018-10-14 09:57:19 UTC  

it talks about origins of islam, and what happened before and lead up to that

2018-10-14 09:57:25 UTC  

Yes. I'll be sure to see if I can find it in the library.

2018-10-14 09:57:47 UTC  

maybe a bit biased, but so long as you keep an open mind

2018-10-14 09:58:01 UTC  

To which side is he biased?

2018-10-14 09:58:17 UTC  

imo, against islam

2018-10-14 09:58:26 UTC  

but other people might say he's neutral

2018-10-14 09:58:31 UTC  

so i dunno, you be the judge

2018-10-14 09:58:32 UTC  

lol

2018-10-14 09:58:36 UTC  

Yeah hahahahahaha

2018-10-14 09:58:41 UTC  

I'll keep an open mind

2018-10-14 09:58:45 UTC  

awesome

2018-10-14 09:59:18 UTC  

im a slow reader, i like to listen

2018-10-14 09:59:31 UTC  

but i do have a 'Guns of August' on my book shelf

2018-10-14 10:00:01 UTC  

nice talking to you man

2018-10-14 10:00:25 UTC  

Yeah same here. Great talk.

2018-10-14 10:00:42 UTC  

I usually prefer reading haha. I read rather fast.

2018-10-14 10:01:08 UTC  

if you want a book that's very obviously biased against islam, then there's 'myths of the andalusian paradise' lol

2018-10-14 10:01:40 UTC  

if you don't want that, ignore it haha

2018-10-14 10:02:20 UTC  

I'll try to read that too.

2018-10-14 10:02:28 UTC  

I like hearing from every side. Even if they're biased.

2018-10-14 10:02:35 UTC  

it's not as good, it's more nitpicky imo

2018-10-14 10:02:39 UTC  

Hmm.

2018-10-14 10:02:53 UTC  

I'll see if I can pick it up when I don't have anything else to read.

2018-10-14 10:03:02 UTC  

what're you reading right now?

2018-10-14 10:04:02 UTC  

I'm reading some normal novels for a school project

2018-10-14 10:04:09 UTC  

oh yeah

2018-10-14 10:04:15 UTC  

Just the hobbit, and a book called Warlock.

2018-10-14 10:04:23 UTC  

for a school project?

2018-10-14 10:04:27 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-14 10:04:36 UTC  

what kind of project?\

2018-10-14 10:04:56 UTC  

Analyze the books, make a description of litterally everything.

2018-10-14 10:05:02 UTC  

oh

2018-10-14 10:05:04 UTC  

Just a normal book project

2018-10-14 10:05:12 UTC  

Dont know what its called in english

2018-10-14 10:05:19 UTC  

lol i dunno

2018-10-14 10:05:24 UTC  

I wanted to do it on 1984, but the library didnt have it.
