I was actually kind of impressed with the accuracy of this one:

Your World View |

You are a fairly broadminded romantic and reasonably content. You value kindness and try to live by your ideals. You have strong need for security, which may be either emotional or material. You respect truth and are flexible. You like people, and they can readily make friends with you. You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you. |
Happy belated birthday!
I'm very jealous of your book choices. Let me know how you like "The Dante Club" & "The Historian"!
Happy Birthday! 🙂 Books are always the way to go!
Re your comment: "Hmm… I don't know much about this, but I had always thought that this central to Islamic belief — is it not true that Arab peoples trace descent from Abraham through Ishmael? Would it not make sense that their interpretation of events would differ? I'm truly wondering, because I'm not positive."
You're right. Arab peoples do trace their ancestry to Abraham via Ishmael. They still can, even in light of the fact that the reasoning behind the essay I posted is wrong. In the essay, the writer is trying to rewrite history into making Muslims the 'chosen people' instead of the Jews. But his problem is that he is using a certain source (the Bible) to disprove itself. Or rather, he's saying that some things are right but that other things in the same text are wrong and he's using the Bible to prove that. Well, that's not good reasoning. So, I guess that would make him wrong.
How's this school year going for you? I hope well!
