Fruitless Fiction Flourishes

What a lovely little alliteration! Actually It sounds like the name of an essay critiquing a certain 'religion' that spread through many middle eastern and north African cultures at the point of the sword in the 8th to 10th centuries.

re: DNM "He has an obvious command of arabic"

Amin: '......Incorrect. I exposed that several years ago. '

I am suggesting he can read, write and speak arabic well. You are disagreeing? Are links to your 'exposure' available?

'..He has no command over Arabic whatsoever."

I disagree. Please back up your statements with facts otherwise readers will tend to dismiss them outright.

'.And neither a command over any other subject.'

And you know this how? Or is it just that you do not wish to acknowledge it preferring instead to try to discredit him simply because he does not share your cult's belief system?

'...Then there is the basic "truth" sense, which is completely missing....'

That is an extremely subjective evaluation. Unconscious biases often prevent people from seeing the obvious - you see only what you want to see.

And speaking of truth and fiction - any results with locating remains or any other evidence of buraks?
