hey so about the ch12 quote "if the mountain won't come to muhammad, then muhammad must go to the mountain". despite what the ai overview claims, that this is a positive statement, i looked it up and it seems to be born from islamophobic sentiment. this isn't a common phrase in my country, but my understanding is that it was written by francis bacon to claim muhammad as a false prophet, i.e. one that couldn't summon a mountain. just wanted to leave a comment in case anyone else also hadn't heard of this saying, since it seems to be born out of a european brand of islamophobia and white christian supremacy.
