In the last 2000 years, Jewish and Christian principles, Greek ideals and Roman organization and law created western civilization. In the last 800 years, following a promising if sanguinary begining, Islam has created the suicide bomber. There is nothing else it has to show except abject poverty, both material and spiritual and tyranny. It is not a religion as we understand it, it is a suicide pact with an unwilling partner.
WRONG!
Did you forget Medieval Times?
Did you forget what Church did to Galileo or Giordano Bruno?
