I like it how you’ve completly ignored what he said.
Prejudice is oft born of ignorance.
Maybe You should trying reading some History?
The Middle east was a bastion of civilisation while europe went under in the dark ages, We got much maths from there I belive (they got some from India IIRC)
There's also a 1001 nights Which Is a Literary classic.
There's Saladin who compared to his western rivals was a paragon of virtue.
Gosh and a lot more I can't remember now. Maybe there's someone who does or has qualified in Middle East Studies here?
HTH.
TIA.
HAND.[/QUOTE]I've read more history than you'll ever know, but that won't change my point of view, and stop bringing up how civilized the middle east was in those days. Those days are long gone, and Islam turned THEM into the dark ages now. We,ve stopped the crusades hundreds of years ago, but they're still pissed off about that. Osama bin Laden compares himself to Saladin, i think it's HIM who didn't read his historybooks. But then again, middle east history books aren't all that trustworthy. History lessons in Iraq for instance, teach us that Iraq won the Gulfwar. I must have been on another planet at that time, cause on the planet i was on, Iraq got his behind kicked... big time !
