When one talks about Muslim contributions to society, this is the one that will forever stick in my mind.

Here is an article posted in June that gives lie to these assertations about Islam.

Very good.

Ideas have consequences. The Koran and the commentary on it, the Hadith, are replete with bad ideas.

Just as with the Bushido code of the WWII Japanese, the bizarre philosophical world of the Nazis, etc., there is really only one solution for the problems caused by the adherents of these belief systems and the violent cultures supporting them.

Annihilation.

gonna have to try again......until these people can demonstrate that they are, in fact, "the religion of peace", I for one will continue to remain bigoted (and proud of it, BTW....) toward them.

Let's see, their greatest contribution was an essay on math in the 9th century....and they want to destroy Americans and Western culture in the 21st. Which should we be more concerned with??

Following this rationale, Hitler should have been ignored because his ancestors gave the world Beethoven and Bratworst. This moron is beyond ridicule.

Meant to say: Following this author's rationale...

Did I miss anything?

Yes, the sofa!!

Imagine - we'd be still dragging ourselves around not knowing how park our butt somewhere!
