Since this is ostensibly about the history of Islam it's worth noting I had to factcheck a NewsWeek article today because it was BLATANTLY wrong. It tweeted like this... https://twitter.com/AuntieImperial/status/671434898402582536 The Kingdom of #SaudiArabia, "where “punishment by the sword” has been practiced for centuries" has existed for one single century @NewsWeek Got that @Newsweek? #SaudiArabIa is a barely century old British construct (1932) & the 'house of Saud' has Turkish, not Arabic, bloodlines But we REALLY can't expect a globally read MSM NEWS outlet like @Newsweek to fact check their shit before publishing http://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/24/when-it-comes-beheadings-isis-has-nothing...
