How Islamic inventors changed the world

[Baba Ahmed]

Nothing's inherently wrong with a bias. Folk get hung up who really believe there exists some ideal "pure objectivity."

Americans are taught that Constitutionally there must be a separation of Church and State. Its been repeated so often and for so long, I call it a victim of a rhetorical ethics. Wherein the insiders and higher ups teach one thing while knowing its for the masses while they do almost the exact opposite.

Think about it how can one's beliefs, religious or otherwise, be separate from actions? Can they be unscrewed, like a carpenter's wood screw, to be used when needed? People are not like mechanical machines, with on and off control switches in them. One's beliefs colors whatever one thinks, says or does. Whether he or she is conscious of it or not.

I've often cited a book, for Christians in particular and others who want clearer views and understandings that all of this society's social institutions are tools of a ruling political order. They're sturctured in separate departments, but in reality they all serve one God: the political/economic order.

That book is, I cite again even though surely there're plenty others:
