Carly Fiorina's Post 9/11 Speech in Praise of Islam Resurfaces

Two weeks after 9/11, on September 26, 2001, Carly Fiorina gave a speech, "Technology, Business and Our Way of Life: What's Next," in which she tied courage, leadership, heroes, and “the questions of life and death” to business leaders learning from one of the greatest civilizations to ever exist: Islamic civilization. Her claims evidence her exceptional ineptitude or blatant, galling, willful deceit.

Consider her claims about the Ottoman Empire:

“When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.” Censorship did exist, but under Suleiman’s rule and Islamic Shari’a law, which, is exactly what Islamists are seeking to reinstate today.

Under Suleiman three continents were “allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known.” And, the “Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent … contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.” One need only read historical evidence of Suleiman’s numerous military conquests, whose methods are nearly identical to those of ISIS.

The Ottoman Empire “was driven more than anything, by invention. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption.”

And: America’s technology industry “would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians.”

Omar Khayyam and his contributions to algebra are well known, but what Fiorina says seems a PC inflation to me.

The arabs weren’t the mathematicians. Their Greek slaves were.

At the same time our president George W. was saying Islam was a ‘religion of peace.’

What’s the difference?

Her history is tainted with ignorance

from 800 to 1600 there were how many invasions of Europe by Muslims and how many reaction Crusades.

The muslims were the 1st to invent condoms out of goat gut, but the Chinese later improved them by taking the gut out of the goats.

islam hasn’t progressed one second in five hundred years; nor has it enriched society with social or scientific gifts.

Fiorina pushing Cap & Trade: (short video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO6Bdt7mbVY&info=FiorinaSupportsCapTrade

Fiorina fully accepts the leftist theory of catastrophic
global warming … without any reservations. But then she
now says that we can’t achieve anything if we act alone.
The fact of the matter is that if the Chicken Little
theory is correct like Fiorina says, then we could do at
least something by acting alone, and in fact in 2008
Fiorina herself advocated extreme unilateral
(the US alone) action on climate change with her Cap & Trade scheme that would have cut CO2 emissions by 83% within 3 decades:
