Thanks C19fan.
The passing of Bernard Lewis last week at the age of 101 recalls to mind perhaps his most famous book title about the Muslim world, What Went Wrong? But maybe a successor of sorts has been found in Duke University economist Timur Kuran, who has a long article forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Literature that paints a pretty bleak picture of the economic and social structure of Islamic nations.
Submission to Islam and domination by Islam, full scale group-think that doesn’t allow for individuality and discourages individuality and innovation. Sort of like a multigenerational Stockholm Sydrome ...
Please, reconsider your islamophobia. In the defense of Islam, the “holy book” says that a Muslim wife can’t deny sex to her husband. That should be sweet to humanity, the half one with outside plumbing that is.
More sex is why Mad Mo started his so-called religion.
Same with Joseph Smith.
Among the stranger tings the left does is their protection of muzzies. They throw gays off of buildings, treat women like cattle and property. They bomb schools and hospitals but the left bends over backwards to “image build them” on TV and Movies, it’s just weird.

“The passing of Bernard Lewis last week at the age of 101”
Hadn’t heard
They burn books, destroy libraries, historical artifacts, etc.
Why?
They don’t like truth. They don’t want their false and evil religion exposed. They don’t encourage education. I’ve read that over 25% of Muslims are illiterate. So many more are barely literate. This is how the control them. This is how they keep power.
God does not bless pagans, but He at times uses them to punish His disobedient children when they forget Him. The Bible is replete with this ancient pattern of God disciplining His people after ample warnings against doing evil things against His will.
Islime shuns all those things that we regard as progress: equality, technology, creature comforts. Joy is supposed to be found only in rigid adherence to religious law.
But it’s simply not true. There’s not a lot of joy in eating bugs because you refuse to read about modern farming practices. Or in dying of face rot because it’s allah’s will. Or in being stoned to death because you dared to teach your daughter how to add and subtract.
Slimes don’t build; they only destroy. So they envy all other cultures that have achieved what they refuse to.
They can’t stop the march of time. They will adapt or perish. I say we help them in the latter.
They are not taught “readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic. They are only taught to memorize religious ideology. This might make you a good muslim, but you aren’t going to compete in this world they live in now.
From what I see, Islam justifies unbounded political tyranny.
Because the ultimate body of truth, for them, is *slam. *slam is all they need to know. It supersedes science, technology, history, medicine, and all other areas of human learning. All they can do is bow down in their neighbor’s fart 5 times a day, and babble nonsense.
They empower their worst impulses, rather than their best.
Islam missed out on the Renaissance, The Reformation and The Enlightenment.
Islam is not Democratic, not Progressive, not Liberal and not Humanist.
In Islam there is no woman’s rights, no gay rights, and no human rights.
In Islam there is no freedom of religion, speech, assembly or right to a fair trial.
Islam is 7th century ignorance. — Captain Compassion
Islam?
Under a religious system that compels slavery and that demands women be treated with little more respect than something stuck to the bottom of your shoe*, having your daughter marry a blood relative gives you some slight control over whether she gets beaten to death for a minor perceived slight.
*in an area and time when the roads are literally paved with shit...
You can say that again!
So they’re like public high school graduates here?
