Note that it was Western Civilization, in the form of Australian colonial law and Christian missionaries, that defeated kuru.

Western Civilization has defeated many, many, many other evils as well!

Western Civilization, Colonialism and Christianity did some bad things. They have also done some very, very, very good things. In balance, the good FAR outweighs the bad.

Not also that the absence of Western Colonialism and Christianity has allowed a recrudescence of kuru in Syria. This is no accident.

Muslims have contributed greatly to the world through many ingenious inventions and discoveries.

We have the sayings of that marvelous philosophizer Omar Kayam who wrote with such eloquence about harem adventures and other stuff.

Then we have.............

Well, nevertheless we owe an intenerate herdsman whose discovery hundreds of years ago gave us the condom.

He ingeniously discovered that by utilizing the lower intestine of a lambkin it made an extremely sensuous object from which much pleasurable sex would ensue.

The invention was improved in the mid 1800’s by a clever Scot who found that removing the intestine from the animal made it even more versatile.

Thus are the scientific and intellectual contributions to the world by the gaggle of folk colorfully known as the muzzies. (or fuzzie wuzzies as some Brits were wont to call them.)
