For harrak and his friend Mu3tamid al-jahil and poor Muslim education

My dear harrak who knows no Arabic without the help of his friend Mu3tamid al-jahil.

You are a careless reader and you are not very focused.

You Harrak al-Jahil wrote that the word Ahmaq means crazy or majnoon. Whicvh is nothing but nonsense.

I wrote you back that the word ahmaq does not mean majnoon or crazy, it means silly, fautus.

You came back and told me that the world Ahmaq really means crazy or majnoon in:

!. Jewish/Arabic (better known as Judeo- Arabic).

2. Also in Morrocan Arabic.

Remember that? And this is even more nonsense as I'm very familiar with Judeo-Arabic.

And I did ask you to provide me with a reference from a Judeo-Arabic dictionary (and they exist) or from a Morrocan Arabic dictionary. And what do I get? You give me a dictionary by an author from Lebanon, who tells us that the word crazy means majnoon.

We already know that.

So back to your dictionary and tell us does the word Ahmaq really mean: crazy as your friend Mu3tamid al-jahil claimed? Let me help you: it does not.

Now I'm not really interested in your childish and poor Arabic poetry, I'm here to expose islam and wannabe Arabs like you, and you have not seen the end of me.

And the hyena will be back for more.
