Israel is not the same place, way smaller, and their people are not the same as arabs. Jews spread out, travelled and were exposed to a lot more of the world.

When I was in a school in Dubai a few years back I saw a poster on the wall claiming that some Muslim inventor actually invented vaccination, and they even had the word "Vaca" as coming from something Arabic.
In fact, it is the word for cow and it was invented by Louis Pasteur, where they would take the scabs of people who had cowpox and stuff them in other people's noses to give them lifelong immunity to smallpox.
Vaca = cow, vaccination comes from that.
Muslims DID invent the condom though...
In 1272 Arab moslems invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.
In 1873 the English refined the idea, by taking the intestine out of the goat first... (Joke credit: isthisnickcool)

Honey, throughout your life youll meet people called Muslims. Trust none of them because most of them are liars.And they will hide under your bed with a curved dagger in their teeth and a bejeweled turban on their head and come out in the night and eat you all up!

Truly amazing that men who's still sh## in holes, beat, stone and decapitate thier women, and strap bombs on thier children are legends in history and great inventors. Thank you mr president for creating a fantasy we all can enjoy much like your fantasy dreams from my father. Neutered NASA is doing a fine job since they have become feel good ambassadors for the fictitious stone age geniuses

-—and I wonder if Axelrod wrote the script. I kept waiting for the part where Obama says he approves this message.

National Geographic and Smithsonian have been tools of the left for quite some time. I finally canceled my 25-year-long subscriptions about five years ago.
They have been infiltrated and need to be taken back by conservatives before I’ll give them another dime of subscription money.
I snort in their general direction.

It seems pretty obvious that when the Muslim conquests ended (and the enormous flow of wealth, Christian slaves, etc.) so did the era of Muslim “brilliance”.

Yep. And once the evil Jooooooooos showed up and demonstrated that it was indeed possible to live a life of peace and abundance in the desert the muslims immediately responded by adapting their ways and becoming comfortable, industrious and peaceful.
Oh wait.

Don't forget the other end of Europe:
On the Spanish Inquisition:
After 700 years of islamic domination, the only ruling model the Spaniards had any real experience with was sharia law, with massive day to day brutality against any minor transgression being regarded as normal, proper and in obedience to their pig gods law.
The Spanish Inquisition was built on the ashes and rubble of islam. It couldnt help but absorb some of the preceding practices.
The tortures that islam enthusiastically embraced as wholesome family fun, and indeed, still embrace at places like Chop-Chop Plaza in Riyadh, that the Inquisition briefly held have since been viewed as a horrible anomaly in Christian history.
We are ashamed of what Christians briefly did after 700 years of muslim oppression.
muslims are not only proud of sharia law, but think it would be simply wonderful if they could impose it on the whole world.
