Not really. They were running around in the sand as nomads and hiring themselves out as mercenaries both to Rome and to Persian in their ongoing wars with each other.

The Assyrians are not Arab.

What?

You mean huge oil money can’t buy you a little respect (even if it has to be invented)?

I’m sure the creative writing staff of Pravda is available for hire for such projects. They will do a bang up job of inventing whatever “facts” you need to get your propaganda across.

To sum up:
Any thoughtful person who knows history and religion would be anti-Islam. Along with Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet than just about anything else since the last asteroid impact. Islam was started by predators. It has spread by predation. It has lived off the decaying corpses of the civilizations it has destroyed. It is a vast, ancient sea of corruption, oppression, fanaticism, and ignorance lapping up against the shores of the present, kept alive by the fortuitous accident of living above huge reserves of petroleum.

They have NEVER been civilized and NEVER will be........

The rest of “Islam’s accomplishments” were identical: they were the vestiges of the accomplishments of whatever society Islam had recently subjugated, which normally managed to limp along for 50-100 years after the imposition of Islam. Then true Islamic darkness settled over those societies, as well.

I work for a large corporation. One thing you have to realize about folks like Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard Corporation is this. They know nothing. They have no conviction. They have speeches written for them. Without others contributing to these PC type speeches, most CEOs of very large Corporations would make sounds similar to those of early primates. One newly appointed CEO of a company I once worked for could not even pronounce the name of the company at a formal presentation.

The other thing you must know is that they will never respond to a letter such as this. In fact they will never read it. It is not part of their job description to do so because we all know how "busy" they are.

It’s kind of a shame. Given the advances in mathematics, etc that occurred in the Middle East, it’s a shame that Islam has pretty much squashed the advance of that society.

Just think where they might be had Islam experienced a reformation similar to that of Christianity.

You can group Communism and Naziism together as Socialism.

What I’d like to know is how the Assyrians knew about all the of planets in our solar system and that Saturn had rings, Uranus was blue-green and there was a missing planet. Is this a hoax? Bad interpretation of something else?

Yes, Islam swallowed any hopes of of a continuing Arab legacy. Although, we benefit from some of their discoveries still. What would life be like without Arabic numerals?

Mr. BetBasoo said it perfectly: “Arab/Islamic civilization is not a progressive force, it is a regressive force; it does not give impetus, it retards.”

An Arabist I worked with in the Navy told me once that the word for “change” in Arabic was synonymous with “evil”.

We should never give up the fight against them.

Islam is just as accomplished as the Borg, but is more self-destructive.

yup. It is unlikely that a reform would ever take place in Islam.
