“The agenda will tell the vital story of the achievements when Christians, Jews, and Muslims thrived side by side in Western Europe, building a society that lit the Dark Ages. Experts will discuss how to transform education, promote tolerance, civility, political reform, and advance human development so that we can emulate the spirit and triumphs of the early years.”
A celebration of Dhimmitude! Christians, Jews and Muslims did not “thrive(sic) side by side”, the Muslims instituted Sharia law which reduced all non-Muslims to third class citizens (women were already occupying the niche of second class citizens).
They took over the Cordoba Cathedral, pretended they were just going to “share” it, and then outright kicked the Christians out of the other half. This, according to their view of history, gives them a right to Spain, Cordoba, and the Cathedral in perpetuity until the world's end.
There is that word again, "civility."
It is totally a one way street as we witness even as the current situation shows itself in Egypt -- and this fighting between themselves! Put themselves together and their common Islamic view is "Death to the infidels!!!"
My reaction to the word CIVILITY: bulls***! There can be no peaceful co-existence with Islam.
