Cultural appropriation, a junk term?..in a cultural ‘two-way’ within colonialism one could posit and wonder, just from where did MMY appropriate the practice of ‘group meditation’, from an Englishman George Fox and the (17th Century) Quaker practice of silent meditation in groups? ...

Why are you bolding the word "Arab?" The guy looks to be pretty brilliant and built on what had come before, improved on it, wrote it all down it became a working "language" across all cultures. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Somehow it feels very odd to me than an Arab would have invented algebra!

Urishi, If this article gets much more attention, the TMO may have to address this point you're making. Would a picture of MMY and Trump together in meditation attract any of ALT-Right followers? Maybe not. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Cultural approbation is a garbage term. I mean, come on, should we stop using algebra because ancient Islamic cultures invented it.
