"The crushing intellectual and spiritual oppression we see in Muslim majority lands globally...."
Could you imagine just how the world would've been different if Mohammad had never lived? Imagine the heights Coptic Egypt and Zorastrian Persia could have attained! Such a waste.
I am currently working through a friend's latest work, Islamic Economics And the Final Jihad by David Jonsson, another work you might be interested in. He details much destruction by Islamic "warriors" over the centuries of various conquered people's cultural creations and institutions, culminating in the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamyan destroyed by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
You could just see historians worldwide weeping at the loss.
Perhaps it is the existence of evil and losses like this that keep us appreciative of what we have. Nevertheless, it is tragic.
