The Muslim world had reached the pinnacle of civilization while Europe had sunk to the depths of the dark ages. Islam gave birth to the Christian renaissance.

Not quite. Almost everything attributed to 'the Muslim world' was, in fact, developed before the advent of Islam. In the case of "arabic" numerals, they came from India, but it was Arabs who passed it on to Europe around 500AD. The so-called Muslim "golden age" was pretty much over by 1200. It was killed off by Islamic fundamentalism, by Sufism as preached by Al-Ghazali. Al-Ghazal was a very influential Islamic scholar, who basically said that there were no natural laws, but that everything happened because God wanted it to, and that was all anyone needed to know.

Since then the Islamic world has stratified. Europe, meanwhile, forged ahead.

As for the Renaissance, wiki says this.

The intellectual basis of the Renaissance was its own invented version of humanism, derived from the concept of Roman Humanitas and the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy, such as that of Protagoras, who said that "Man is the measure of all things." This new thinking became manifest in art, architecture, politics, science and literature.


The only connection with Muslims would be:

The Renaissance began in Florence, in the 14th century.[4] Various theories have been proposed to account for its origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time: its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici;[5][6] and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks

Maybe high time to quit your Indian bashing which you've been doing ever since the thread was started! What makes you so f**king special?

I'm not special. I'm just smart. Sorry if that bothers you. I haven't 'bashed' indians. I've simply stated historically accurate information which, unfortunately, seems to have upset the lefty snowflakes who cherish this invented ideal of how this was a garden of eden with all peace, joy and happiness until the evil white people arrived.

Twist and turn, obfuscate and deny. The tools of the racist.

Calling people racist, the single tool of the simpleton.

And this is what we're down to. Your facts proven wrong,

You haven't proven anything wrong, you demented putz.

the flaws in your reasoning pointed out, you revert to juvenile taunts a pre-adolescent would be embarrassed by.
Well, I wouldn't use it with mature, intelligent people, but I was talking to you.

Here's the deal. European culture has done magnificent things. The science, the engineering, the art, the philosophies of governance, all pretty amazing.
And?

And how much of that are you, personally, responsible for?
Where did I claim I was responsible for anything?

Funny part is this brownie you despise so much has done more for European civilization than you.
Are you brown? I have no idea what your skin color is. I don't even know if you really are a native. I don't despise you. I'm simply responding to your ignorant raging insults, and the clearly inferior mind behind them.

That is why you are so intent on touting the superiority of people with the same skin-shade range as you.
Never did anything like that. Never made any such claim. Never even spoke about skin color or genetics. Never said any other race was inferior. Which is why I suspect you're basically crazy going on this raging rant about what you somehow imagine I've done.

Vbeacher,

Go for a walk. Get a massage. You don't have to answer to anybody. Try to remember that. Sometimes the bigger person just walks away.

Freedom of expression is good and protected.

Muslims are becoming a protected species, must make sure they are stood up against the rule of law like everyone else.

You just need to read the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon to see how much Islam contributed to the West. Gibbon was wrong on some points concerning Islam; but for a Western scholar of his time, he knew more about Islam and its contribution to Europe than many Canadians today do.

Of all the ethnics that we immigrate to Canada, Muslims are the worst by far, they cause nothing but problems, they are the most expensive, they contribute nothing to Canadian cultural events, sports, plays etc etc
A totally useless ethnic/religious group if there ever was one.

I'd say there's very, very few groups that you can tar the entire group with the same brush! Do you really suspect the Mayor of Calgary is going to start bombing people? I'd feel as safe around him as anyone else!

Durpy, on the other hand, is a raving lunatic and I wouldn't want to be anywhere within a thousand miles of his bigotry and hate. His is a ticking tome bomb.

The mayor of Calgary is an Ismaili Muslim, he's not a hard core Sunni or Shia type.

But even he blatantly lied to Calgaryians when he stated that property tax went up only 15% during his term when he knew full well that the taxes went up 55.3%.
Stinking liar.

Well, I'm kind of bemused about how simply stating historical facts has the lefties screaming and gnashing their teeth and baying at the moon. I suppose I wasn't politically correct but I was historically correct. Maybe people got offended at me calling them savages, but honestly, that was their level of civilization at the time. I'd have said the same about the Picts when the Romans put up Hadrian's wall to keep them away.

So, are you a liar, or just an ignorant cur?


This is from the Fraser Institute, so you can't blame it on a "left wing" organization as they are far from that.

You haven't stated historical facts, but you go ahead and keep patting yourself on the back.
