Apparently not. It didn't stop the schooling in Germany either. In fact, the peak glory days of central European universities were the WWI-1933 period.

They could replace them as they wore out, like Sura 4, Ayah 59 tells of replaced skins that have burned off those who don't make it to paradise. For a peaceful, tolerant religion this sounds a bit harsh, huh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sura 4, Ayah 59 Those who disbelieve our signs we will in the end cast into the fire: so oft as their skins shall be well burnt, we will change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the torment. Verily Allah is Mighty, Wise! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought about this [my not noticing this aspect] all day yesterday. It meant that I haven't read much about how (nor where) education worked, or didn't work during those years. I'll have to remember to pay attention to the absence. /BAH |
