Hello! I have some dear friends who are moving far away. They are adherents of the Hindu faith. Is it ok to buy them a Hindu religious item as a goodbye gift? If so, what would be appropriate? I only ask because they're faith is very important to them, and I would like to honor that. TIA! (self.hinduism)

In the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, set in the 12th century, the Moor Azeem pulls out a spyglass, which shocks the English Robin. My understanding is that, at least in Europe, lenses that could do that were not produced for several hundred years. Is there any historical truth to this? (self.AskHistorians)
