What contributions would you consider valid ones?

The light bulb, penicillin, the first computer, the
internal
combustion
engine and the automobile, space travel, airplanes,
pre-emptive
strikes,
and
supply side economics. ;-)



Hmm. No literature. Not surprising, coming from the
court
jester.

lit·er·a·ture (ltr--chr, -chr)
n.
1.. The body of written works of a language, period, or
culture.
2.. Imaginative or creative writing
I read a lot "imaginary or creative writing" everytime I
read
yours
or
Harry's posts here on rec.boats...or whenever I visit the
NY
Times
or
Washington Post website.

You also spew gibberish when you're trapped.

Trapped? By you? Puh-leeze. I asked you to name *one* Arab
living
in
an
Arab country who has made a significant positive contribution
to
society
in
the last 100 years, and the best you came up with is a guy who
writes
literature that 99.9999999% of the World has never read. Some
impact!



Source of numbers, please. And, provide an explanation for the
author's
presence in American literary critiques on a pretty regular
basis.


OK, maybe there's a couple of extra "9's" in there.

99.9995% of the World's population...would put the number of
Naguib
Mahfouz
readers at 1 million. That's beyond generous.




Source of numbers, please. How do you know how many books he's sold?
Hint:
You're pulling this outta your ass

Yep. Do you have a better estimate?

because you're a racist.

LOL. Racism has zip, zero, and nada to do with it. Nice
"liberal-losing-an-argument" tactic, though.





You'd nuke an entire region because of a few terrorists? Racist. You
know
that.


It's not racism, Doug. Intolerance of militant religions, maybe...but not
racism.



Better include Catholicism, then, based on history.
