Yes, but in most of Africa for hundred of years there was no written language. And the North Africa of the days of the Roman Empire was taken over by the Islamic sword as an existing situation in terms of its advanced civilization for the day. We are also constrained to point out that under the caliphates a very large number of the leading scholars were not themselves Muslim or were not orthodox Muslims. There was much more tolerance than we see today.

I remember when King Faisal in “Laurence of Arabia” stated that Damascus had public lighting when London was but a village.

What happened?

Unfortunately,America's glory days are now going the way of the Islamic golden age—and at the hands of a Muslim named president.

I could just die from the evil irony.

And we just may.
