"If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise."
"and the attraction of this renaissance of Persian culture under Turkish political hegemony strongly influenced the Ottoman court, with echoes of that influence felt up to the 19th century. --The Encyclopaedia of Islam, vol VIII, page 211.
"Throughout the 16th century, then, Ottoman literature and culture was still considerably influenced by the Turco-Persian literature flourishing in the courts of Khurasan and Samarkand, while themes from everyday life inevitably crept into them as well; furthermore, Ottoman society, was beginning to be influenced by the West, without being fully aware of it." -- The Encyclopaedia of Islam, vol VIII, page 214, GoNUL ALPAY TEKIN
"The Christian Arabs, who were commanded by Malik bin Zafila, formed themselves into a deep mass confronting the Muslims. Some historians have given their strength as 100,000, while others have doubled that figure. These estimates are clearly mistaken. The enemy probably consisted of between 10 and 15 thousand men. In this battle the Muslims failed to gain a victory."[1] -- A.I. Akram, The Sword of Allah:Khalid bin Al-Waleed:His Life and Campaigns, page 68.
Lucullus Daemoniac, Graham J. Wylie "L'Antiquité Classique", volume 63 (1994), page 117;"Foiled in this, Lucullus now decided on a midsummer (68 B.C.) offensive deep into Armenia, to crush his «exhausted antagonists»Mithridates and Tigranes who, anticipating such a move, had assembled another large army with a powerful cavalry force to harass his foragers. He brought them to battle north of Lake Van, somewhere on the upper Arsanias, an eastern tributary of the Euphrates, and put their army to flight (PLUT., Luc., 31, 5). Tigranes at once retreated to his capital, Artaxata."
How to tell if you are dealing with a disruptive IP/editor
Does said IP/editor....
1.think they can bring anything(government websites, personal websites, blogs, personal opinions, et.al.) to write what they want an article to state, especially when third party academic published sources state something else.
2.drag another editor's ethnicity(believed, suspected, stated) into an issue, instead of arguing the facts/sources/issues of the matter.
3.acts like other editors are just like them, editing to promote a specific ethnicity, nation, race.
4.knows nothing of the history of a region they are editing, instead simply adding what they have been told(either in school or by their government).
5.states there are "cabals", "lobbies", or "groups" of a particular ethnicity editing against them.
