When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.
While modern Western civilization shares many of these traits, the civilization I'm talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.

I found it interesting.
By the way I’d like to add, she gave this speech
on September 26, 2001!!!!
Right after 9/11
They conquered then took credit for everything. That’s it. They were never “great” at anything but war, murder, and subjugation.
I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. She is not my candidate.
Bingo.
The dark age of Europe happened when Islam cut it off from various trade routes and put them under constant siege.
just what digging tool is she using ???
Its going to be one big hole..
Next stop China..
Carly was born in Austin, Texas, do people know her maiden name??
Sneed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina
To another story, maybe this is just coincidence, but this guy in Oklahoma who is facing the death penalty, Richard Glossip?? He is accused of paying someone to make a killing. The guy who committed the actual killing was .... Sneed. And I think from Texas.
Common name? I don’t know, I haven’t met anyone called that.

She is not my candidate either.
She just took herself out of the running to be president.
September 26, 2001
Talk about “too soon.”
Is Carly Fiorina the GOP’s best hope of damaging Hillary Clinton?
But those who watched what Fiorina did to HP – mishandling the $25bn acquisition of Compaq, getting ousted by the board in 2005 with a $21m golden parachute, repeatedly being named one of the worst CEOs in American corporate history – say those supposed accomplishments are already coming back to “haunt” her run for the White House.
“She put herself ahead of the interests of the company and I fear she would do the same as president,” Jason Burnett, a grandson of the late HP co-founder David Packard and a member of the Packard Foundation board of trustees, told the Guardian. “I don’t want her to do harm to this country.”
HP’s longtime director of corporate communications, Roy Verley, said his ex-boss alienated colleagues with a “cult of Carly” that put self-promotion first.
“She didn’t know what she was doing and couldn’t deliver on her promises,” said Verley, who left HP in 2000.
The notion of a successful Fiorina reign at HP, he said, was “fantasy”.
Burnett, echoing criticisms from more Hewletts and Packards alike, warned the emergent class of political bankrollers in Silicon Valley – already courted by Fiorina’s competitors like Rand Paul and Jeb Bush and soon Clinton herself– to “refresh their memory” before signing campaign checks.

I believe Hitler’s Third Reich reached the most expansive in size with all sorts of space exploration plans and big blowup technology. Is she going to stand on a soapbox for them too?
The death of mohammedum science and rationality started with the rise of the brethren of purity neoplatonist school around 970 and the al-Ghazali antirationalism attacks on Avicenna around 1050.
ARABIC culture was at one time, the greatest in the world. Islamic culture, not so much.
I like her.
A lot.
But one positive word about that loathsome “religion” and she’s outta here.
The Islamic intellectual crap is just like “Arabic numbers”.
It came from India, not Arabia or Persia. The West mistakenly gave credit to the last people who borrowed it.
The RINO Fiorino finds the murders exhilarating.
With her admission of supporting Amnesty
and ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE today, she is FINISHED.
Oh yeah, she’s a real conservative. Not a chance. Get lost Carly with your fake stance. We sure don’t need another extornist who will say one thing and do the opposite.
