Thanks for your complimentary remarks. I have to confess that the research isn't primarily mine, rather that of the scholar Kamal Salibi. At the end I did refer readers to an earlier, longer article, where I discussed his work in much more detail. If you enjoyed this one, you might like to read that one too.

I was fascinated by your remark about astrology. Is there anything else you can say about my 8th house? Do you know what it is?

I have written a whole book about astrology, from an outsider's perspective. You might be interested:
