haaaahaaaa, Sudan? Northern Nigeria? Russia (Chechnya)? The Turks used the Jesuits until the end of the 19th centuary when they were butchered and the Sultan with them by the Young Turks.
In Christianity, science developed under the rationality of Catholic Faith. Christianity also has a supreme head: the Pope. True, not everyone listens to him, but he is there and has always been there.
Sorry but this is pure BS. The Renasiance started after the Turks took Bzyntine and the scientists of Constantinople fled westward, bringing with them their knowledge. Further, science progressed quite nicely in Orthodox and Protestant lands, especially after half of the Orthodox lands were freed from Islamics.
As for the Pope, 1 billion various protestants and 300 million Orthodox don't follow his words and that's half of Christianity. Furthermore, most of east Africa is/has converted to Orthodoxy, now that colonialism has ended.
The Pope is not the head of the Church and because of that claim, we've had a split between the Orthodox and Catholics for 961 years.
Apparently, it's not working! I can't believe that some Muslim apologists still try this worn out and discredited argument.
