Islamic Golden Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Islamic Golden Age is traditionally dated from the mid-7th century to the mid-13th century
A.D.[1][2] During this period, artists, engineers, scholars, poets, philosophers, geographers and traders in the
Islamic world contributed to
agriculture,
the arts,
economics,
industry,
law,
literature,
navigation,
philosophy,
sciences,
sociology, and
technology, both by preserving earlier traditions and by adding inventions and innovations of their own.
[3] Howard R. Turner writes: "Muslim artists and scientists, princes and laborers together made a unique culture that has directly and indirectly influenced societies on every continent."
[3]
And then they had their own Reformation as happened in Europe later. The only problem was the Muslims turned in-wards and away from many of the accomplishments that you mention.

"The achievements of the Arabic speaking peoples between the ninth and twelfth centuries are so great as to baffle our understanding. The decadence of Islam and of Arabic is almost as puzzling in its speed and completeness as their phenomenal rise. Scholars will forever try to explain it as they try to explain the decadence and fall of Rome. Such questions are exceedingly complex and it is impossible to answer them in a simple way."

The Incubation of Western Culture in the Middle East'[213]
According to the traditional view of Islamic civilization, which had at the outset been creative and dynamic in dealing with issues, it began to struggle to respond to the challenges and rapid changes it faced from the 12th century onwards, towards the end of the Abbassid rule; despite a brief respite with the new Ottoman rule, the decline apparently continued until its eventual collapse and subsequent stagnation in the 20th century. Some scholars such as M. I. Sanduk believe that the declination began from around the 11th century and still continued after this.
[214] Some other scholars have come to question the traditional picture of decline, pointing to a continuing and creative scientific tradition through to the 15th and 16th centuries,

Israel is a serious problem and detrimental to peace in the middle east.
I'm positive you've lost this argument already , numerous times in fact.
Ok, I don't know what's going on in this post.. Firstly you make up a lie that I want all jews nuked... Even if I was vehemently anti-jewish , to nuke all jews would be suicide as jews are scattered all over the world... And anyways, i'm not anti-jewish.... then after that erroneous accusation of racism you've bestowed upon me, you actually begin spewing racist rhetoric !!!!!
you say Arabs are all murders, oppressors (LOL), torturers, make families disappear?? (basically you're describing the actions of the terrorist American government in the middle east and south america, not arabs)... and finally you insinuate wrongly that all Arabs are muslim...
i can't comprehend the load of garbage your post was... my mind is still boggled..
1st off - I do not lie - I do not hate people because of religious or non religious beliefs - I hate Racists, Thieves, liar, Trolls and those that are for the complete annihilation of a state - A Jewish State.
That makes you
1 - A Racist
2- A NAZI
3- And No morals, no personal character outside of pure unadulterated Racism & Hatred.
Your Post
Read the last para.
Perhaps you have some sort of an explanation for it - Goebbles did along with many other Nazi's that belived that the mass murder on a massive scale never before seen in history, assembly line murder of millions.
Yep - You llke Jews - Like that old saying - and a racist one at that - The only good Indian is a dead Indian - Substitute Jew as I know you have difficulty with simple thoughts.
Washington has offered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 20 advanced US fighter jets as well as other tempting goodies if Israel agrees to extend its freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank.
Indeed, the offer from Washington is so tantalizing that even the Israeli media is calling it a “bribe.”
Netanyahu, who was in the United States last week to hammer out the details of the “compromise,” has been offered $3 billion (1 billion pounds) worth of advanced F-35 jets. These on top of the 20 F-35s Israel already plans to buy for $2.75 billion drawn from annual grants it gets from Washington.
In other words, Israel is slated to receive 40 advanced fighter jets – a package worth just under $6 billion dollars – absolutely free of charge courtesy of the US taxpayer.
Fighter jets and peace talks
It must seem ironic to some political observers that US President Barack Obama, who was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize last year, is the same man who is indulging Israel with America’s most advanced fighter weapons of war to stay committed to the Middle East peace plan.
There is also the question of supplying Israel, albeit a valuable US ally, with so much expensive military hardware at the same time American citizens are forced to cut back on spending due to the financial crisis.
forgot the punchline:
quote: Indeed, the very fact that the United States has included a clause stating that it would not request further settlement freeze extensions in the future, while also declaring its intent to side with Israel in the face of any UN challenge does not seem to bode well for the immediate future of the peace talks.
i mean, can people even comprehend this? obama's "compromise" to israel is that they stop building settlements for 90 days, and in return they get billions of dollars worth of merchandise to murder palestinians with and they can continue to expand as much as they want in the west bank, forever. wow, this administration sure drives a hard bargain!!!!!!!!
the best part is what will probably happen is israel will reject the offer and obama will give them the military hardware and allow them to keep expanding indefinitely anyway
construct some sort of sci-fi dome structure over the gaza strip and west bank capable of withstanding the heat of a thousand suns and cleanse the zionist cockroaches from the face of the earth with nuclear fire
