#2 the term "Dar al-Islam” or the "territory of Islam” and "dar al-harb” or "territory of war” and "Dar al-ahd” or "territory of pact/treaty” are jurisprudence terms that did not occur in Quran and authentic sunnah. This fact was mentioned in the book Bayan Lel-nas (Statement for the People) published by Al-Azhar: "dividing countries into dar kufr, or territory of infidelity and dar Islam or territory of Islam is an issue of ijtihad or personal effort based on the reality situation at the time of the mujtahid scholars that involves no evidence from the Quran or sunnah”. This proves that the scholars of fiqh did not agree over these three terms.

#4 WNDR assumes however all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purely a miracle.

#8 Given that it's Rhode Island, more likely it was the 9th Century version of the Mob.

#9 I love that image of the Chinese voyages that Alistaire Elmailing8877 posted. As if they sailed through the arctic.

I'd seen claims the Chinese made it to the west Coast of Latin America and there is evidence they made it to Africa when the fleet was recalled, but the arctic? Might as well claim they found the Northwest Passage as well.
