Help me vet this since one of the comments below the article says this is only an excerpt, though the additional info they provide does NOTHING to offset Carly's declaration that Islamic Civilization was the "Greatest In The World"

I found it interesting.

They conquered then took credit for everything. That’s it. They were never “great” at anything but war, murder, and subjugation.

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. She is not my candidate.

Carly was born in Austin, Texas, do people know her maiden name??

Sneed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina

To another story, maybe this is just coincidence, but this guy in Oklahoma who is facing the death penalty, Richard Glossip?? He is accused of paying someone to make a killing. The guy who committed the actual killing was .... Sneed. And I think from Texas.

Common name? I don’t know, I haven’t met anyone called that.

She just took herself out of the running to be president.

Is Carly Fiorina the GOP’s best hope of damaging Hillary Clinton?

But those who watched what Fiorina did to HP – mishandling the $25bn acquisition of Compaq, getting ousted by the board in 2005 with a $21m golden parachute, repeatedly being named one of the worst CEOs in American corporate history – say those supposed accomplishments are already coming back to “haunt” her run for the White House.

“She put herself ahead of the interests of the company and I fear she would do the same as president,” Jason Burnett, a grandson of the late HP co-founder David Packard and a member of the Packard Foundation board of trustees, told the Guardian. “I don’t want her to do harm to this country.”

HP’s longtime director of corporate communications, Roy Verley, said his ex-boss alienated colleagues with a “cult of Carly” that put self-promotion first.

“She didn’t know what she was doing and couldn’t deliver on her promises,” said Verley, who left HP in 2000.

The notion of a successful Fiorina reign at HP, he said, was “fantasy”.

Burnett, echoing criticisms from more Hewletts and Packards alike, warned the emergent class of political bankrollers in Silicon Valley – already courted by Fiorina’s competitors like Rand Paul and Jeb Bush and soon Clinton herself– to “refresh their memory” before signing campaign checks.

I believe Hitler’s Third Reich reached the most expansive in size with all sorts of space exploration plans and big blowup technology. Is she going to stand on a soapbox for them too?

The death of mohammedum science and rationality started with the rise of the brethren of purity neoplatonist school around 970 and the al-Ghazali antirationalism attacks on Avicenna around 1050.

She is seriously misinformed. Someone should give her a copy of Emmet Scott's Mohammad and Charlemagne Revisited and then after that his The Impact of Islam.

I like her.
A lot.
But one positive word about that loathsome “religion” and she’s outta here.

The Islamic intellectual crap is just like “Arabic numbers”.

It came from India, not Arabia or Persia. The West mistakenly gave credit to the last people who borrowed it.

The RINO Fiorino finds the murders exhilarating.

With her admission of supporting Amnesty
and ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE today, she is FINISHED.

Oh yeah, she’s a real conservative. Not a chance. Get lost Carly with your fake stance. We sure don’t need another extornist who will say one thing and do the opposite.

Now that is just pure blathering idiocy
Most of the “great” Islamic inventions were rip offs from the Greeks and others

Has she bought a prayer rug yet?

I am still trying to figure out what Islam ever invented or gave to the world.

They stole everything from those they conquered, even the “zero”.

That’s why the West and the East had to constantly push them back into their sandbox.

The last time was in 1673 outside the gates of Vienna.

The only export of Islam has been mass beheadings, mass rape and mass subjugation of woman and the mass selling of captured peoples into slavery. Let’s not forget they were the gatekeepers at the African ports that sold the slaves overseas.

If Carly is the maker of this speech, she is dumber than Megyn Kelly.

And to say all this in Sept. 2001, when the smoke was still rising from Ground Zero in NY, and the smell of death was in everyone’s nostrils, is unforgivable.

Context.

“I’m talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600”

She’s talking about 400—1200 yrs ago. She is not talking about now. She knows the “civilization” back then is not the “civilization” we have today. . .and she calls muslime terrorists. . .muslime terrorists.

She knows who the threat is and is willing to call it by name.

Note the first sentence. That is demonstrably true.

There was ONCE (emphasis mine) a civilization that was the greatest in the world. The Ottoman Empire did not go away until WWI. That was clearly an Islamic empire.

In no way am I singing the praises of Islam. I was trying to point out what she really said and it was in the first sentence of what she had to say.

Islam really went south with the advent of Wahhabism.
