When European Christians were destroying one another in doctrinal wars, torturing heretics and butchering infidels, Muslim civilization was the most advanced, cultural, artistic, commercial and tolerant in the world.

The author undercuts how own argument by this example of anti-Christian propaganda, which could be straight out of an Islamic press agency.

The truth is that Islam has ALWAYS been a source of eviil and terror, and any accomplishments found within any Islamic-ruled society have been due to the conquered Christians, Hindus, et al.

For instance, "Arabic numerals" must be referred to as "Indian numerals" to be historically accurate.

Islam has never been tolerant, except MAYBE in a very limited comparison to the Bysantines.

Any other "advances" in technology, culture or art were stolen from others during raids while passing through the area.
