  • Why does Epitaph of King Ferdinand in Capilla Real, Granada, Spain say he was the servant of Allah?

    I saw a PBS show in which the Arabic Epitaph of King Ferdiand, the husband of Queen Isabella was described as stating that King Ferdinand was the servant of Allah. Why would a Christian monarch, responsible for the Spanish Inquisition and ending Muslim Rule in Spain claim such a thing? Did he not know that Allah was the God of the Moors of Spain? Was it a custom among Arab Christians in Spain to describe Jesus as Allah? Or is there another reason for this?

  • Did Affirmative Action for Blacks / Hispanics prevent White race Abigail Fisher from get into a Texas college?

    I do not think that Affirmative Action as practiced at UT prevented Abigail Fisher from getting admission. I feel she did not get admission because she had no business attending a State Flagship University such as UT Austin. She had a sub par SAT score of 1180. She was not in the top 10% of her class. So what business did she have to expect admission at a top National level school such as UT?

    It seems to me that Whites in Texas are a minority in the population, but a majority among weak students (at the bottom of the SAT range) admitted at UT Austin. This suggests, if anything, that White Racism is still practiced at UT Austin not Affirmative Action. Given these facts, if the Supreme Court repeals Affirmative Action the backlash is going to be huge. What do you think? Have I misunderstood something in this case? Thanks.
