Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote in Parliament for the last 11 weeks. During that time he will have collected about £50,000 in wages and expenses. But he will tell you Disabled People and immigrants are the problem. No, it's rich lazy parasites like him.

A Persian physician memorized the entire Quran by age 10 and was practicing medicine by age 16. By 18 he had cured a sultan that no other doctor could help. The textbook he wrote in his 30s became the operating manual for every European doctor for the next 600 years. I started reading about him at midnight and could not believe one teenager had personally built so much of the foundation of modern medicine. His name was Ibn Sina. The book is called The Canon of Medicine. Every modern clinical trial. Every evidence-based drug protocol. Every pharmacology textbook. Every medical school curriculum that teaches doctors to observe before they prescribe. All of it traces back to a Persian teenager who finished his medical education before most modern students finish high school. Ibn Sina was born in 980 CE near Bukhara, in modern-day Uzbekistan. His father was an Islamic scholar who employed the best tutors money could buy. The tutors started failing to keep up with him almost immediately. By age 10 he had memorized the entire Quran word for word. By 12 he was correcting his tutors on points of law. By 14 he had outpaced his teacher in mathematics and started learning on his own. By 16 he was treating patients in his neighborhood. He later wrote, with no false modesty, that medicine was an easy subject and he had mastered it quickly. He hit a wall around 17. He could not understand Aristotle's Metaphysics. He read the book forty times and still could not grasp it. Then he picked up a commentary on it by Al-Farabi in a Bukhara bookshop for a few coins, read it overnight, and suddenly the entire system of Greek philosophy snapped into place. He went home and gave alms (money or goods) to the poor in gratitude that he had finally understood. A year later the news of his medical skill reached the sultan of Bukhara, Nuh ibn Mansur, who was suffering from an illness no doctor in his court could cure. Ibn Sina was called in. He treated the sultan. The sultan recovered. The 18-year-old asked for one thing in payment. Access to the royal library. The library of the Samanid sultans in Bukhara was one of the greatest in the Islamic world at that time. Ibn Sina spent the next year inside it reading everything he could find. He later wrote that by age 21 he had absorbed everything written by every major scholar before him, and that the rest of his career was just refining what he had already understood as a teenager. He spent the next decade as a wandering physician and political advisor. Empires were collapsing across Persia and Central Asia. He moved from court to court, treating princes, drafting legal documents, escaping invasions, hiding from enemies who wanted to kill him for his association with rival rulers. He wrote at night while moving between cities by day. He was imprisoned at least once. He kept writing. In his 30s and 40s he produced The Canon of Medicine. A five volumes book at least a million words. A complete synthesis of every medical tradition he could find. Greek medicine from Galen and Hippocrates. Persian medicine from his own tradition. Indian medicine from Ayurvedic texts. His own clinical observations from thousands of patients. The Canon was translated into Latin in the 12th century. It was reprinted more than 30 times in the 15th and 16th centuries alone. It was the standard reference text at the University of Paris, the University of Bologna, and Oxford well into the 17th century. William Osler, one of the founding fathers of modern medicine, called it the most famous medical textbook ever written and said it served as a medical bible for a longer period than any other book in human history. The part that most people miss is what was actually inside it. He laid out clear rules for testing whether a drug works rules that still look like modern clinical trials. The drug must be pure, tested on a single condition, and checked against opposite conditions for consistent results. Effects must be seen repeatedly, with timing that matches the treatment. And it has to be tested on humans, since animal results don’t always carry over. A thousand years before the modern clinical trial existed, he had written its protocol. He defined medicine itself in a sentence that has never been improved on. Medicine is the science by which we learn the various states of the body in health and when not in health, the means by which health is likely to be lost, and when lost, is likely to be restored. He insisted that prevention came before treatment. He argued that lifestyle, diet, exercise, and sleep mattered as much as drugs. He was right by a thousand years. He documented hundreds of conditions with such precision that European doctors were still using his diagnostic categories in the 1700s. He died in 1037 at age 57. He was on a military campaign with one of the rulers he served when he developed colic. He treated himself with what he believed was the correct remedy. The remedy did not work. He died near the city of Hamadan in modern Iran. His tomb is still there. His own assessment of his life is one of the most honest things any genius has ever written about themselves. He said he had lived a wide life rather than a long one and that he preferred it that way. The Canon is digitized at the Library of Congress. The original Arabic version is preserved at multiple universities. Free English translations exist online. The medical textbook that trained every European doctor for half a millennium is sitting one click away from you. Most modern doctors have never heard the author's full name.

Dear John, There are two billion Muslims in the world. These two billion do not demand child marriage or FGM, nor are they beating their wives, nor are they rampaging on the streets killing infidels. Are you suggesting these two billion are not following the commands of their religion and failing God and His messenger? Or that these two billion do not understand their religion properly and you have perceived the true meaning of Islam that these two billion do not? John, two billion Muslims follow a book that has told the world since the 7th century that "mountains are like pegs" keeping the earth in place from being pulled apart by tectonic plates, and that the earth and planets "swim in orbit", and that seas "have a barrier between them that prevents them overlapping" due to the difference in density between them. As a result of its emphasis on open thought, this book led Muslims to establish algorithms (al-Khwarizmi), 'The Canon of Medicine' by Ibn Sina which was taught at European universities until the 17th century and whose picture is on the door of the Royal Society of Medicine. It inspired Ibn al-Nafis to prove pulmonary circulation, and Ibn al-Haytham to prove eyes receive light (as opposed to the Greeks who claimed they emit light). Al-Kashi calculated π to 16 decimal points, Al-Biruni calculated the earth's radius, and Al-Battani calculated the solar year and is cited frequently by Copernicus himself. Al-Ghazali's treatise on the moral economy was the basis of St Thomas Aquinas's treatise which Adam Smith relied on to write his "moral economy". Far from closing thought, Islam opened it and subsequently enlightened the world. This is why King Charles III said "the West has forgotten the debt it owes Islam". I do not say this to suggest any superiority over Europe. Knowledge is, after all, shared and not owned. I merely make the point that in light of this, how do you dislike a system of thought that Europe's greats credit with helping to enlighten European civilisation? John, these two billion Muslims are not of a single race or culture, and serve instead as a testament to Islam's capacity for multi-culturalism. These two billion include English, Scot, Welsh, French, German, Bosnian, Arab, Persian, Kurd, Turk, Indian, Malaysian, American, Hausa, Yoruba, Zulu, Berber, Latin American, Chinese, Japanese, and many more. Moreover, these two billion Muslims are the inheritors of a legacy of harmonious co-existence of faiths and a commitment to uphold these values. Andalusia stands as a testament to Christians, Jews, and Muslims living together. When Isabella burnt it and set out to burn the Jews and Muslims alike, it was Sultan Bayezid II who sent boats to collect the Jews and carry them to safety. Sarajevo's nickname is the "Jerusalem of Europe" due to the commitment of Muslims to the protection of the rights and freedoms of other faiths. Jerusalem was ruled by Muslims for centuries, and remained a haven for Jews and Christians alike. @TuckerCarlson interviewed Mother Agapia on the relationship between the Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land, and I encourage you to listen to her. Two billion Muslims are proud of this legacy, and uphold it by the command of Allah Himself who refers to the Christians and Jews as "People of the Book". Muslims pass on this legacy generation after generation, teaching stories of the Second Caliph's preservation of churches when he entered Jerusalem, of Saladin's refusal to massacre the inhabitants of the city as the Crusaders had done when they sacked it, of how Allah commands that people be treated with kindness, to give charity (even if it be a smile), to help the poor and lift their fellow brother and sister up when they are down. They are taught the sayings of the Prophet's companions such as that of Ali Ibn Abi Talib who said: "A man is my brother in faith, or my equal in creation [and therefore deserving of dignity]". They are taught the story of a righteous Christian King who was so moved by the similarity of Muhammad's message to Jesus Christ that he declared "the difference between you [Muslims] and us [Christians] is no thicker than this line" and gave them sanctuary from persecution, John, the vision of the two billion Muslims of this world is not one of violent supremacy. Muslims are not the ones who caused two World Wars for the sake of ethno-supremacist ideas that slaughtered millions of innocents (including many Muslims who fought on the side of the Allies against fascism). Muslims are not the ones who committed the Holocaust, a crime of horrific proportions. Muslims are not the ones who imposed apartheid on South Africa, brutalising an entire population and labelling them "terrorists" for resisting what is now universally condemned. These are uniquely European, Western crimes. The vision of two billion Muslims is not one of violent supremacy akin to that of the Western brutality of the 20th century, but of peace and freedom that enables genuine conversation on the nature of mankind, the purpose of life, and the relationship with the Creator. Allah expressly forbids forced conversions in the Quran on the basis that He will not accept a prayer that is forced; this is why Muslims emphasise dialogue on the basis that God only accepts a sincere submission. In other words, I cannot force you to become Muslim. No one can. Allah is explicit in His assertion that if anyone forces John Cleese to prostrate, then He will not accept it and therefore it is a fruitless exercise. John must accept it from his heart, and that requires a genuine and sincere engagement rooted in an earnest desire to see John Cleese enter God's Garden of Heaven (and I pray God leans your heart towards it). John, if I want to know what a Christian believes (or is supposed to believe), I open the Bible or read from a Christian theologian. It would be insincere to read about Christianity from a book written by a Muslim or a Jew who would write on the topic from the perspective of trying to disprove it. Likewise, instead of reading third party sources and then repeating their claims, I would ask that you read from a Muslim source to try to understand why two billion Muslims follow this religion. The esteemed Englishman Martin Lings has an excellent book called "The Life of Prophet Muhammad". Most libraries have a copy, while any Islamic Centre will gladly give you a copy for free. I do not ask you to change your mind. I simply ask you to at least do the courtesy of reading the message of Islam and Prophet Muhammad, if only to ensure that the claims you make in future are accurate. I ask that you give Prophet Muhammad a chance to convey his message to you. Read of his life through the eyes of an Englishman. I think this is a simple gesture that might at least help ease the dislike and mistrust of an idea of which your understanding has been badly hindered by ill-intentioned headlines.
