Oh gag me with a spoon!
The true Islamic Renaissance is in fact present and growing stronger in Dubai and the other GCC nations. The Renaissance is related to business along side the religion
oh man.. I needed a good laugh this morning!
Conquering someone who is intellectually superior to you and then trying to claim credit for what THEY achieved before you conquered them and proceeded to systematically destroy their civilization is not to be lauded.
Utter ill informed, revisionist horse shit.
These delusions are published in the American press regularly. Time magazine these days is about as thick and influential as a comic book. Sadly the American press refuses to tell the truth or criticize Obama, Kerry, the Democrats and their policies. Journalists have devolved into Soviet style apparatchiks and propagandists.
On a global scale Muslims rank as top intellectuals.
Says who?
Islam HAS had the western nations gladly commit national suicide. Europe is inviting savages by the millions that destroy everything in their path. Islam is a scourge.
What a distorted view of history.... all the missies ever did was to INVADE other countries and steal their ideas. There is nothing of value that this ‘group’ has contributed to the word. On the other hand much of the misery and problems the world has faced and does face is as a direct result of them
nuke Mecca , ban islam
This article is realityphobic.
Sounds like a delusion
There are actually two Muslims who won Nobel Prizes in science.
There are ninety eight Jews won won Nobels in science.
A ratio of 48:1 says all that needs to be said about Islam and intellectual capability.
PS I only counted Jewish Nobel winners in physics and medicine, and I didn’t include Jews winning Nobels in chemistry - but I did include the one Muslim who won a Chemistry Nobel.
PPS Gotta make Muslims look good - Bammy sez so. ;-(
One can check the list of all the Novel laureates in hisotry to see how many are moslems. One for literature, one for chemistry, one for physics.
Out of a populkation of a billion people.
Perhaps we need to post some photos of a modern Afghanistan in the 1950s and 60s and then compare those photos with the same places today.
You will see how a modern nation can slide back into the DARK AGES in just a few years.
Islam rested upon the shoulders of higher civilization until it broke them down. It took a while, but not long, for the inherent ignorance of Islam to destroy the remnants of the civilizations it infected. Islam hasn’t produced anything of value, solely because of its virtues, because it has none.
Islam is death, and it will never be anything but death.
Muslims simply expropriated the knowledge of conquered Greek/Byzantine lands, and put it at the service of an emperor. If a so-called "Islamic" society ever does rise to prominence again, it will again be by putting conquered dhimmis in the service of the state for specific projects. Beyond this though, society will be an absolute dark-ages.
Those were achieve BEFORE Islam came on the scene.
