Aquinas called Averroes "the perverter" of philosophy.
Well, golly. I never claimed that he was alotogether right, after all he remained in Islam.
I'm just saying he was a serious philosopher, and has no more problems than guys like Kant, Hegel and Descartes who are considered important, if flawed, thinkers.

And we would be even better off if we can bury the myth that moslems contributed something significant to western thought.
