bro muslims/arabs are not a super species of humanity okay? islam/Arabs have ALWAYS made living by A. sitting on a trade route. JUST like now and with B, slavery and other exploitation of resources from subjugated areas.

ps I wouldn't put much relevance on anything san francisco does. san fran is a bigoted very biais area. even metallica had to move the fuck out of there lol!!
In 1917, Ruth Putnam printed an exhaustive account of the work performed up to that time. She wrote that both Calafia and California most likely came from the Arabic word khalifa which means steward[6] or leader. The same word in Spanish was califa, easily made into California to stand for "land of the caliph" خلیف, or Calafia to stand for "female caliph" خلیفه .
