Cultural appropriation #2
OMG, on p26 of this weeks Private Eye, a mediaeval Crusade specialist historian at Swansea University (Dr Simon John) reveals that 'Saracen' was a term invented around the time of the First Crusade (c. 1095) that is a pejorative term (i.e insult) to Muslims! Being a good Welsh man, he makes the connection with a certain London-based rugby union team'! Ach'a fi!

Thanks for this. Does Dr John make any comment about the Sarakēnoí of Sarakēnḗ as described by Ptolemy in the 2nd century?jgriffin wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 9:17 pmOMG, on p26 of this weeks Private Eye, a mediaeval Crusade specialist historian at Swansea University (Dr Simon John) reveals that 'Saracen' was a term invented around the time of the First Crusade (c. 1095) that is a pejorative term (i.e insult) to Muslims!
