the Hindus around 600 A.D. ...”
that were "borrowed" and how other things destroyed to satisfy their lust for destruction
in the name of their "Moon god", ALLAH..and yes, the Christians did it, too.

In 2010, the bestselling atheist Richard Dawkins, in the “On Faith” section of the Washington Post, called the pope “a leering old villain in a frock” perfectly suited to “the evil corrupt organization” and “child-raping institution” that is the Catholic Church. Nobody seemed to mind very much.
Three years later, in a throwaway Tweet, Professor Dawkins observed that “all the world’s Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though.” This time round, the old provocateur managed to get a rise out of folks. Almost every London paper ran at least one story on the “controversy.” The Independent‘s Owen Jones fumed, “How dare you dress your bigotry up as atheism. You are now beyond an embarrassment.” The best-selling author Caitlin Moran sneered, “It’s time someone turned Richard Dawkins off and then on again. Something’s gone weird.” The Daily Telegraph‘s Tom Chivers beseeched him, “Please be quiet, Richard Dawkins, I’m begging.”

reminds me of the joke about the dyslexic.
He would lie awake at night, staring at the ceiling, wondering if there was a Dog...
Want to make the muzzies even madder? Tell them that the Jews, a tiny people almost wiped out 70 years ago, have amassed at least 170 nobel prizes to their 10!
Dog is my co-pilot.
It’s also true that what scholarship there was in the Muslim world during that time was only in the more “moderate” parts of the Muslim world, where reformist leaders encouraged tolerance and intellectual curiousity, despite the general Islamic prohibitions against those things.
"He's criticizing someone other than Christians. We can't have that."
Oddbill fell for the progressive propaganda that has been taught in our schools for decades.
Perhaps, from his website, but I don't think he's able to offer that for the papers who print his columns.
Shows that liberals worship a violent death cult, and hate a peaceful religion.
The numerals you're describing are ARABIC, but they're certainly not muslim.
Agreed. If you're a fan of Byzantine or Rococo art. The designs are incredibly intricate, I'll give them that. But look at some of the mosaics in the Taj Mahal, for example. The muslime weren't the only ones making really ornate filigree.
Oh, dear. I don’t have the money to go to the Taj Mahal! My husband has relatives in Sicily and we know the island fairly well. I believe it’s the Western part that has Islamic culture. The East is more Greek.
Put together the Hindu notion of zero and Greek Diophantine equations to produce algebra.
I'm not sure it counts as "great" given what they had to start with, but it was something.
Funny and spot-on writing by Steyn again. But for those
who haven’t the time to read the article, I offer a summary:
Moslems, they’re stupid.
