he doesnt either. he parrots conspiracies that have been scientifically proven false

And to better sell this idea of Arabs not producing science or literature, let us ban algebra and algorithms so people don't think of those things ever.
And also ...capitalism?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_economics
(I do know Muslim ≠ Arab but a lot of key researchers and their peers were Arab)
Even if this total lie were somehow true, that there was something about Arab culture or Semitic people that magically made them unable to "produce culture" uhhh they're still people?? Like they deserve exactly as much dignity and respect as any other people.
But it's also obviously a stupid racist lie.
Being a white supremacist typically entails having a poor grasp of recorded history.
I mean Abdul Alhazred wrote the Necronomicon, which I consider to be both science and literature.
I heard The Dems were trying to get kids in school to use Arabic numerals
Watch them try to ban Arabic numerals and force everyone to use Roman numbers again.
What kind of numbers will we use if we want to express in writing a number of how many times this asshole has been wrong. Beware the number is probably not gonna be high enough.
Yes because A Thousand and One Nights and the works of the Arab alchemists that were critical to the foundation of modern chemistry is all fake. /s
Robert F. Kennedy admits he is an ignorant fool when it comes to discussing science and literature.
FtFY
I thought his brain was just so addled that he fucked his speech up. He tried to say the Muslim Brotherhood caused all Muslims to stop contributing to society. He's mentally ill and racist, basically.
Arabs invented science.
The fact the average conservative can see and even hear this and say its not racist shows how silly the average centrist is for trying to meet them in the middle.
Folks there really is no reason to go all the way back to the Islamic Golden Age to disprove this fool. There are many many Arab scientists and writers alive and kicking at this moment right now.
Firstly that's super fucking racist. Secondly, the Islamic golden age famously involved a hell of a lot of science and literature being produced bt Arabs. Thirdly, in recent history there was one famous Arab guy who was so committed to producing literature he was writing books while working an extremely high stress job.
OMG, he's so stupid, none of us can breathe.
Whats really striking about these conservatives is how confident they are even when they are completely and factually wrong.
He doesn't seem to know who brought the alphabet to Europe...
Motherfucker the Arabs invented algebra.
Yeah, unlike quacks, grifters and con artists who make up their own awards.
Just written language, math, and the basic foundation of scientific advancement. Without those things, the brain worm might have prevented us from having to deal with him.
All right, but aside from written language, math and basic foundation of scientific advancement, what have the Arabs ever done for us?!
My brother tried telling me about how all great advancements came from Europe and European descendants.
I brought up the Islamic Golden Age of Science and he immediately questioned if it was real...
The sad thing is he could be surrounded by people that tell him "you're right sir! They just sit in caves with towels on their head and plan jihads!"
Controversial opinion: What RFK jr said here is what every Western person is taught in school. The West has systemically erased any non-European achievement from its literature. Going as far as to rename prominent Muslim scholars such as Ibn Sinna and Ibn Rushd and give them names like Avicenna or Averroes.
This is a way to indoctrinate studente of science by giving them the idea that all of modern science has originated from the West since all they see is Western names.
What RFK jr says here is not a failure of his own education. It is what he has been indoctrinated with by the Western education system.
