 Cultural appropriation, a junk term?..in a cultural ‘two-way’ within 
colonialism one could posit and wonder, just from where did MMY appropriate the 
practice of  ‘group meditation’, from an Englishman George Fox and the (17th 
Century) Quaker practice of silent meditation in groups?

 Yup, fact regardless of culture..

Why are you bolding the word "Arab?"   

 The guy looks to be pretty brilliant and built on what had come before, 
improved on it, wrote it all down it became a working "language" across all 
cultures.

 FWIW, from Wikipedia:
 

 Regarding al-Khwārizmī's religion, Toomer writes:
 Another epithet given to him by al-Ṭabarī, "al-Majūsī," would seem to indicate 
that he was an adherent of the old Zoroastrian religion 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism. This would still have been 
possible at that time for a man of Iranian origin, but the pious preface to 
al-Khwārizmī's Algebrashows that he was an orthodox Muslim 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim, so al-Ṭabarī's epithet could mean no more 
than that his forebears, and perhaps he in his youth, had been 
Zoroastrians.[22]

 If that's true, al-Khwaarizmii would have been closer to Vedic philosophy than 
to Islaam, now wouldn't he??

 Urishi, 
 

 If this article gets much more attention, the TMO may have to address this 
point you're making.  Would a picture of MMY and Trump together in meditation 
attract any of ALT-Right followers?  Maybe not.
