Really poor showing by the producers. My friend is an editor of the show and he told me that what Philomena said would've resolved the Israeli/Palestinian conflict
When the show is neither owned nor produced( non-North Merican English) by the broadcast-partner, it's like extrapolating something from Deaflympics®/Paralympics®/Special Olympics® broadcast out of the UKGB"NI" and comparing it to something out of the output they do own and produce.

If you talk about Islam things might 'backfire', yet if the same happens the other way round when folks anywhere talk about Christianity, not much happens. That says much more about the people being talked about, than the people doing the talking.
Things happen too when people talk against other religions such as Judaism or Hinduism. If Chrisitians don't say anything if people insults their religion that's on them. But I can tell you this with certainty tho, that in countries where Christianity are minority, like Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, India, there are laws in place that if someone insults a religion like Christianity, they are punished accordingly. These laws are mostly in place to ensure 'religious harmony' and minimise potential inter-faith violence. If Christian nations like US, Slovakia for example does not have such laws in place, that's on them and their voters.
Well it depends on where you are. I remember Sinead O'Connor being unable to appear anywhere after tearing up a picture of the Pope on television. This is before my time, but I think most people didn't know what she was talking about (the Catholic pedophilia scandal has been a public issue in Ireland for much longer than in the US.) Also, before and during the Lebanese civil war, Christian militias would attach non-Christians to power lines. But true, in this day and age, it's probably the religion which has the least consequences for criticizing it. But for most history since its founding, it was the most dangerous of the Abrahamic religions to criticize. It's funny how history works. What you're saying is true, but it doesn't tell you much about the religion, but about where the tensions are. Religions get really touchy under two sets of circumstances: when they're a persecuted minority, or where they're in total control. It's why at the moment criticizing Islam is a briar patch; because in so many parts of the world it's either one or the other. Bill Maher likes to make a similar argument to what you're making -- some Muslims react very badly when their religion is criticized while Christians may kill for other reasons, defamation of Christianity isn't one of them, so that's how you know there's something wrong with Islam. When periods of time where it was the exact opposite are pointed out to him, he goes "but that was like 100 years ago!", as if that was before the Quran 2.0 dropped, or something. No, same religions, just different circumstances everywhere else. Which should tell him it's not the religion influencing the society; it's the society influencing the religion. This is obvious if you've read the Quran, because it's constantly referring to Old Testament prophets. Noah, Moses, Jesus, Abraham, and Solomon are all people whose teachings you're supposed to follow. This, like everything else in the Quran, is repeated over and over and over again. Anyway, I don't know if you know this, but just yesterday three Palestinian-Americans who were visiting their families for Thanksgiving were shot by a white assailant in Vermont: two will likely pull through, but one's got the bullet lodged in his spine. One of them went to Haverford, which pretty much profiles him, but all three of them looked like old money to me. But I doubt they were shot for being preppy.
@@nuzayerov Hey, I should have read your post before writing mine. I made a similar point, that religions get touchy when they feel under threat OR when they are in total control. In Indonesia, where it's like "there's some Muslims, and then there are some non-Muslims" there's no tension I know of.
@@shairafaiza7261it’s an act of free speech. You are allowed to criticise a religion, even though I think it’s very distasteful. It’s also just 2 people in the whole country, sadly it’s being blown up by media, mainly in the Middle East. Turkey is also taking advantage of it to postpone Swedens NATO membership.
It sucks there's such a sensitivity among muslims, where we can't joke at all about the religion without a serious worldwide overreaction, and threats of violence.
Religion ,whether it be Islam, Christianity or Judaism, is not a topic to be laughed at. This is about worshipping Allah, being the best version one can be and reaching out to others. Since we are talking about God, it ought to be discussed in a good manner, out of respect. There are so many fields in life one can joke about and make fun of; just leave religion out of it.
@@communistshqiperia Allah does exist because there can never be a creation without a creator. Also, haven't you ever wondered what will happen after everybody is dead?! What will happen after death? Whether or not we will meet our creator? May Allah guide you to the right path.
The religion was not founded by Muhammad, but his family after his death. He only came along some 500 years or so after the advent of Christ, enabling lots of plagiarism, like the angel he spoke to, Gabriel, called Gibreel. Gabriel, is the angel who told Mary she is to be pregnant with the son of God. Imagine that. The same angel who told Mary one thing and Muhammad another? He met Jesus in heaven? That means he didn't meet a prophet,as no man hath ascended to heaven. And Issac was put up for sacrifice, not Ishmael. Put that in your idahladha, and smoke it. Islam, a basterd religion yesterday, today, and always. Such nice folks too, what with constant jihad, rape culture, and all. Then there's the silent majority that knows to remain silent,... or else.
@BlisaBLisa 90% of Christianity is bogus by Sunday keeping, less sinning by less killing. However, Christianity doesn't have endorsed pedophilia by a book, nor female 4th class citizenship. No better than Islam, other than the creator on their side.
@@BlisaBLisa Christianity sucks too. In fact, I am not a fan of ANY organized religion. .. your point though?? Am I correct in understanding that you mean, the constant jihad, and rape culture is justified or excused because another religion is bad too?? I see this deflection technique used in politics quite often. One group calls out another group's leader or higher-up on some bad behavior. Then, rather than owning the situation, they say something along the lines of "Oh yeah?? Well YOUR guy blah blah blah..." as if deflecting the accusation makes the bad behavior of their guy acceptable because someone from the other side is just as bad. You see it a lot in schoolyard behavior too. In this case... Christians are/were bad, so the jihad and rape culture is not up for discussion.
I won't defend FOX, but I'd add CNN to the list. There's this Polish station, also owned by Discovery, which can't go one week without saying how great and respected CNN is.

Islam, as a contemporary great power, gathered, processed and disseminated knowledge. It did not contribute greatly in original material of mathematics.
@@HarisPeco-zx8cp No, all that came from India. Al-Khwarizmi spoke Hindi and learned it from indians. And he was of Jewish extraction as evidenced by his name ibn Musa.
Strange. I was taught that there was a library in a place called Alexandria a millennia before Islam and that calculus was invented by Leibnitz and Newton.
And most of the classical texts of the Greco-Roman world only survived because Islamic scholars translated and preserved them in their libraries, from whence they were eventually re-exported to Europe. The fact remains that during the middle ages it was the Islamic world which was the centre of learning, with the first universities and the world's greatest libraries.
What do you mean by calculus? Astronomic calculation date back at least from ancient Babylon and Egypt, Leibnitz and Newton gave major improvements to the calculation by taking into account heliocentrism and gravity.
@@GeorgeP1066 The imperial library in Constantinople, founded 300 years before Islam came into existence, housed tens of thousands of texts from the ancient Roman and Greek world and the most influential texts were studied in Europe as much as elsewhere. The Arabs translated and thus preserved many texts from the areas and civilizations they conquered, but "most" would certainly be an overstatement.
@@Saufs0ldat pretty much all the works of Aristotle we have come from sixth and seventh century translations into Syriac and then into Arabic and then, finally, into Latin by visiting scholars. The library of Baghdad was founded in the eighth century and was the largest public library in the world, with a collection from all over the world thanks to its location at the heart of global trade routes, at a time when Europe basically didn't even have any public libraries. The idea that the Islamic world wasn't a major contribution to world knowledge, especially in the middle ages, is just ludicrous. There's a reason why scholars from across the medieval world flocked to the Islamic world, and it's because it's where they could have access to teaching and books they couldn't find anywhere else.

@@youwantfood9586 LOL yes, it's as if Jesus had waged wars of conquest. Not to mention that some things have happened since Mohammed lived until now. If that were not the case, this joke would not make sense, now they kill people for drawing pictures they don't like.
Diane is brilliant, but I cannot believe that even in a comedy like this, Muslim academics are credited with maths, geometry, etc - all simply preserved from Greeks. A valuable contribution at a time when much learning was lost, but not original. It's also not true to say Muslims established the first libraries. The library of Anexandria was damaged by fire in 48 BC, several hundred years before the founding of Islam...... yawn.
It's not even Muslims, the advancement of existing knowledge was by the Persians. Yes they happened to be Muslim but it was their culture that set them apart.
There was however real scientific progress done by Muslims during the golden age of Islam, Arabs and Persians alike. Avicenna was still considered the father of medicine until the 18th century, and they had several scientists at the time that dabbled in astronomy, mathematics, irrigation technologies and also purely decorative/not-so-useful things like clockwork automata. To say they only preserved the ancient Greek knowledge is a lie, and don't forget than back then Europe was about as backward as bronze age China, (with horrible techniques even in agriculture like "two field systems") so it's still pretty impressive! It's ofc dumb to credit Arabic and Persian technological and cultural achievements solely to Islam, just as it'd be dumb to credit European ones to Christianity, but they certainly existed...
Nope, they didn't do calculus, they did some great mathematics, but those who did it were PERSIAN mathematicians, NOT muslims. The muslims burned every library they encountered.
No they didn't burn anything and that's a fact, another fact is yes many were Persian, MUSLIM PERSIAN MATHEMATICIANS, unless your lil brain thinks Persian is a religion itself, in this case there is no cure buddy, just remember, Arab and Muslim are two different things, not all Muslims are Arab and vice versa.
Hack joke that's been done hundreds of times on Islam already. They didn't have the balls to make fun of it properly. See Stephen Crowder for decent comedy on Islam (drawing muhammad).
It's telling that whenever you want to talk about the accomplishments of Islam or benefits to mankind you're always having to reach back a thousand years.
because of the crusades, and the diabolical thievery of everything from our countries and the burning of libraries in Baghdad. The Western world had NOTHING until you started pillaging.
Give us more of this Lady, if you can't laugh about things what is the point in living. All the nasty bits about Islam are written down by Muslims in their holy books and open for all to read. They are not ashamed of a single word and strive to live by the rules laid down by Mohammed with all of the discrimination, violence and expansionist aims.

In the context where algebra is identified with the theory of equations, the Greek mathematician Diophantus has traditionally been known as the "father of algebra" and in the context where it is identified with rules for manipulating and solving equations. Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi developed the idea a bit.
Al-khawrazmi didn't "develop it a bit", he developed the modern way to do algebra, which Diophantes didn't. 3010tangents.wordpress.com/2014/09/17/the-father-of-algebra-al-khwarizmi-or-diophantus/
@@blehblahov7398 whatever. Khwarazm wasn't and isn't Persian, and you can bite all dust in the world to claim his name, but Khwarazm isn't even close to Iran, while the language Iranians speak now is far from the court one Dari spoken by Khwarazmi and other Tajiks.

@@jimmyalfonda3536Some learning happened despite the religion - not because of it - and it was then quickly stifled. The so called 'Golden Age' consisted of a couple of decades here and there in disparate places due to a few enlightened rulers who were less religious than others, with things going back to normal when those individual rulers died. So if a civilisation has to go back a thousand years to only find such a paltry peak of progress, it really doesn't say much for the progressive nature of that civilisation.
@@HarisPeco-zx8cp I said 'a couple of decades here and there', so don't misquote me again. That meant a couple of decades in one place and another couple in another place etc. over a period of a few centuries only. Not 600 years. And if it was 600 years, that would be worse, because that would dilute those paltry achievements even more over a longer period. The conquest of Byzantine, Gothic, Persian and Indian cities (along with Chinese contact) exposed the Arab barbarians to the knowledge, skills and experts of those cultures that just a few of their enlightened rulers managed to patronise and encourage before they died, with any progress then smothered again by religious darkness. That's why you have to dive back so far in history to find any progress at all. The 'golden age' is largely a modern propaganda myth fabricated to help ease the massive inferiority complex Islamic societies suffer from due to the huge advancements of the secular West.
What a hypocrisy! Muslims are being killed in palastine a genocide is happening. Are u sure islam is not peaceful religion ? Then why they targeted in every way

El Jebra. That translates into "The Zebra", which is a very ancient and deeply spiritual philosophy which surmises that the way in which a striped horse flick flies from its tail will provide a guide in relation to the trajectory of the universe each and every time it enters a newer orbit around the the fig of all creation.
The word algebra is the latinisation of the Arabic word al-jabr (completion/reunion) used in the title of a book that first introduced the concept. The author of the book was called Al-Khwarizmi and his name used to be transliterated into Latin as Algorismus from which comes the modern English word algorithm.

I am aware that this is put forward as the origin, and I was simply offering some variation in response to the humourous theme offered on this page (in much the same way as another contributor on this page was offering humour in relation to his maths and perfumery contribution). My initial thoughts (prior to my zebra story comment) had been to provide a "play" on the word "abacus", something related to Abba or Abu Cuss, perhaps. But I ran with the zebra (pun intended). I still thank you for offering this, and I would invite you (if you've not done so already) to place this explanation in the main comments section as well.
