[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ausarian.: [QB] [QUOTE]Doug M writes: Actually, the only one making straw men is you.[/QUOTE]Is it possible that you don't know what a strawman is?--asking you to prove your claim doesn't qualify as a strawman. Reference a dictionary. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: I said that much of Moorish culture is directly descended from ancient Egyptian, but much is not all and therefore, does not mean that everything in Moorish culture came from Egypt.[/QUOTE]You were asked to lay out specifically which ones *directly descended* from ancient Egyptian, and how so. You didn't bother answering the latter, but you did say this, with respect to the former: [i][b]Writing[/b], architecture, landscaping, science and so on.[/i] - by Doug M ...lest you take your own words as a strawman. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: Likewise, this includes Arabic script, which is indeed directly derived from the development of CURSIVE SCRIPTS in Egypt[/QUOTE]I asked you to prove this, and you failed; rather, you were forced to retract it--because of lack of evidence, and now, to save face, you're forced to seek refuge in restating the discredited. Repeating a meritless claim is [i]well[/i], not a wise thing to do. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: The part YOU are disagreeing with is that the cursive forms of Egyptian scripts had ANY influence on later scripts in the region[/QUOTE]There's *nothing* to disagree with, since one cannot disagree with what has no merit to begin with. You said Arabic directly descends from ancient Egyptian. So, you were requested to prove it; you didn't. Period. Btw, the same applies to other non-Nile Valley cursive scripts. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: which is not simply an issue of what is directly versus indirectly descendant from Egyptian scripts.[/QUOTE]Don't confuse yourself about the issue at hand; it is quite simple: your [so far meritless] claim that Arabic directly descends from anient Egyptian, along with other cursive scripts. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: You are trying to find cracks or errors in my words[/QUOTE]Believe me, finding a crack(s) in your claim required no effort; it was all too blatant to miss. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: to justify ignoring the facts that have been posted[/QUOTE]Like I said in the last post, which no doubt you never read, you make no sense: If I'm asking you to prove your claim, how can that be--even sub-standard logic--interpreted as "ignoring"? What "facts" have been ignored? Name them. [QUOTE]Doug M writes: , in order to pretend that Egyptian scripts and culture did not have a profound impact on other scripts and cultures in the region, which it did. [/QUOTE]Rather, you are asking me to pretend to believe in the existence of something which hasn't been proven to, just so you can save face. The term for that is: wishful thinking. My advice: Try hard to answer the pressing questions in your next post, rather than undertaking emotional off-target "fist throwing at the air". Thanx a bunch. [/QB][/QUOTE]
