I give you 72 houris, which will be my share of heaven,
In return,
You give 72 cents
To a child who begs in the name of Allah.

72 Cents and 72 Houris
Oh, mullah who has learned three or four religious rituals,
Memorizing three or four quotes,
Calling me ignorant…
Now let me prove my knowledge.
You are ten thousand light years away
From clear thoughts.
This is my knowledge of astronomy.
There are great politicians
Who pit people like you against enlightened people,
Who themselves do not participate in this battle
They play the role of catalysts.
This is my knowledge of chemistry.
The pressure applied to a gas and a liquid
Effects each point of them equally.
But the pressures applied to society
Do not affect you, because you are not a man of this world.
This is what I know about physics.
You are a person from 1400 years ago.
If you want, I can calculate the days, hours, even seconds of your life.
Let this be my knowledge of mathematics.
You invite me to your society,
But parallel straight lines do not intersect.
That’s my knowledge of geometry.
Well, what do you say now?
You use a phone invented by “infidels”.
And access the Internet invented by “infidels”.
You are looking for a counterargument
And – let me
Go to Hell
It will be for your benefit.
I give you 72 houris, which will be my share of heaven,
In return,
You give 72 cents
To a child who begs in the name of Allah.
That’s my knowledge of economics.
