RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITTANICA POST

filled another note page.

ARABESQUE- well, it was not arabic back then and had a quote i found archaic. 'nothing that outrages aesthetic sensebility can ever be beautiful'. not in my mind.

ARABIA-oh, now that map had been altered a LOT. there was afganistan, but beluchistan??? amudaria? ok, iran/persia. trans caspian district. bahreyn! katar! WAHHABEES! she´áh.
read itsy bitsy print on the history of arabis. much of the fighting was in the general area. the arabs overtook Egypt in the 7th century, who prefered them to their Greek overlards. the battle of Utica removed the last Byzantine on the south medeterranean.

read about the first Wahhabe. one dude. he created a cult of followers and they became the spanish inquisition of the muslims.

in the last part, the ottomans are in charge and the brits don't like them. they have high hopes the wahhabees take over from the ottomans and in time the wahhabees should lose their intollerance. right? RIGHT?!?

did NOT read 5 pages on arabian philosophers. or 28 pages of ARACHNIDS.
