Which universities have the best linguistics programs?
Q. I want to double major in linguistics and Russian (then go onto grad school for linguistics) at a university in the US or Canada. I'd like to focus on theoretical and historical linguistics, not so much applied. Any suggestions?

A. The small liberal arts colleges focus on linguistics and offer great curriculum. Middlebury College has a very strict but very effective linguistics program. After just four year, students are fluent in several languages. These liberal arts colleges are also helpful when applying to grad school. I don't know what kind of student you are, but liberal arts colleges are what you want.

There were several stories on the old English words.

It is a recorded and evident fact that Islamic invaders demolished countless Hindu temples, shattered countless sculptures and idols, plundered innumerable palaces and forts of Hindu kings, killed vast numbers of Hindu men and carried off Hindu women. In the year 1527 the Muslim invader Babar came down from Ferghana in Central Asia and attacked the Hindu King of Chittodgad, Rana Sangrama Singh at Sikri and with the help of cannons and artillery (used in India for the first time) overcame Rana Sangrama Singh and his allies.

A. Yes, this is the nature of Ishmael. Their hand will be (and is) against everyone, and everyone's hand against them. They intend to rule the world, just like Christianity intended the same thing, and they intend to do it by the same means. The sword, death, mayhem, bloody slaughter, destruction, forced conversions, etc. This is no longer a "fringe element" in Islam. Better wake up.
