The Christian European West barely escaped destruction at the hands of the Moslems. At one point they were stopped near Tours and at another point, later on in time, outside the gates of Vienna. The Church throughout northern Africa was practically destroyed by Moslem power, and at the present hour, the Moslems are beginning to rise again.

We all have seen the true face of Islam - it’s not peaceful - has nothing to do with religious freedoms - and when those attempt to befriend or aid Islam - they become victims and are killed...

So me the progress moslems have made since their inception - not by the slaves forces to produce - not the manuscripts stolen, translated into Arabic where the originals were then burned - not the inventions created by other civilized people that were taken over and forced to convert...exactly what original concepts that have advanced mankind forward, not backwards - show me one thing...

I fully understand why banks in the US deal with Middle Eastern investors - because they want to make money - an in turn these Sharia - terrorist financing Arabs turn those profits around and spin up insurgents groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS - and to what end does making money trump the lives of the military men & women who asked to fight wars with restrictions - to build infrastructure only to seen it destroyed - and establish school where education is a sin, not a common task.

The Pope had better get his head in the fight and make right with Christ - because Islam is the counter to Christianity - this war is one of Good vs Evil...and recently we have seen the true face of evil!

Islam has historically been the enemy of reason since its very inception. It is a bizarre syncretist heresy patched together by an evilly inspired lunatic out of bits of all the religions circulating in the Middle East during his day and used as a means of consolidating his military conquests. Since it was meant to subject the peoples (its very name means “subjection”), it was also opposed to reason and even opposed to art or musical expression.

It has since become the single most retrograde and violent force in the world, crushing civilizations and individuals. Pope Benedict identified the problem correctly, because its false ideology rejects not only reason, but the reality of the world outside of it. But it has always appealed to life’s losers because its fanaticism gives them power to crush other people far more advanced, successful and happier than they are. It is the power of darkness and spite; in short, the power of Satan, whose entire being is based on evil and jealous rage.

Here’s an interesting article about all the inventions made by Muslims that are an important part of the modern world.

Unfortunately, when you start looking into the details of most of them, the date and location of the “invention” become less than self evident. Most of these turn out to probably not be Muslim in origin at all, though adopted and spread by Muslims.

If you really start to look into the origins of “inventions” over the millenia, a wildly disproportionate number came originally from China, startting at least 4000 years ago. This rate of invention continued up to the 1500s and then just seemed to stop, not only in comparison with the West which was just reaching takeoff technologically, but even on an absolute level.

The Chinese just stopped innovating. Never have heard a logical reason why. Interestingly, they haven’t really started up again. Very little true innovation has been done by Chinese in recent decades, even since their recent increases in freedom and prosperity. Certainly nothing to correspond with either their history, their numbers or their high average IQ. Very odd.
