"3,000 years haven't changed the human condition"

Much depends on culture. Islam worships violence. The age of reason may be associated with the renaissance, but it's generally endemic with western civilization, having a lot to do with the Greeks and the Jews. I've a copy of The Odyssey, unread for years. It's a shame that most of Homer's works were probably lost when the religion of peace burned down the Library of Alexandria and murdered its librarian. I guess it didn't contain enough copies of the Quran.

That library burned down long before Muhammed was born.
