See #18. Anyone who doesn't think the Moors had a valuable influence on the West should ask themselves the following:

Since that time Islam, and even before, has not accomplished anything except to intimidate, terrorize and murder to keep itself stagnate, as it is today. To the point that Islam has nothing redeeming going for itself.
