Context.
The context is that there never was a great Islamic civilization.
From 800 to 1600, we had just fought the Battle of Tours, Spain and Portugal threw the Moors out after 700 years of oppressive rule, we had 300 years of Crusades in the Holy Land fought, we had the battle of Lepanto in 1571 and then the battle of Vienna in 1673.
What Carly said was not history, it was a fairy tale, in this Sept. 2001 speech. The death, destruction and enslavement of the Islamic hordes was unparallelled until World War 2.
And that the speech was made in Sept. 2001, makes it doubly worse.
