Two things.
Reader comment on item: Muslims Respond to President Obama
in response to reader comment: islamists are stuck in 7th century Arabia

Submitted by kman (United States), Dec 8, 2008 at 13:40

First, again your knowledge of history is vast. I envy you. Do you write books - are you an author?

Secondly, I have seen you use "CE" before when referring to historical events. I recognize that as a rejection of the Christian base "AD" & "BC". If that's how you prefer ro acknowledge your preference, ok, but I would like to know what "CE" stands for and how it relates to the more commonly used "AD" & "BC". In other words, so I have a reference point to your statements on times in history, how do I find the zero point for "CE"?
