It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.
One of its languages became the universal language of much of the world, the bridge between the peoples of a hundred lands. Its armies were made up of people of many nationalities, and its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known. The reach of this civilization's commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.
That was not a unified civilization and it was no "super-state." From 800-1600 and onward to today, the region has undergone nonstop turmoil. In the 20th century, geopolitical theorist Halford Mackinder characterized the region as a "shatterbelt," a description that was as apt in 800 as it is today.
But she likely won't. Because jizya diversity.
Nope. she’s a GOPe progressive.
Cheers!
I get the point and the word “was” is in the title. I don’t understand her timing of the speech so close to 9/11 and I honestly have a bit of an issue with her saying other civilizations owe so much to that past Islamic civilization.
I am just bringing it up for discussion
bump
And, let's not forget their expertise at inbreeding.
Hey Carly..you ignorant woman! It WASNT ISLAMIC at the time you refer to. What a dumb...
Babylonian, Medio-Persian, Greek, Roman, etc. I forgot Egypt. Assyrian? They were rather nasty..much like the ISIS bastards today.
They came in the early dark ages and instantly tried to take over the known world at that time..and dam near did.

Carly Fiorina Attacks Cruz: ‘No Honor’ In Fight To Defund Obamacare
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3322644/posts
Carly Fiorina is open to legal status for adult illegal immigrants, citizenship for their kids
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3322641/posts
To sum it up:
She loves eternally murderous deathcult known as Islam,
she loves Obamacare (aka Rationed, Collectivized Deathcare),
and she loves illegal aliens invading who are destroying our country.
Now I know for sure she’s a Dem.
She is what they used to call GOLD DIGGER.
Yeah well shes heading for a Big Dig type cave in...
The ‘Grosste Civilization die Alle Zeiten’ was ROME.
We still live in Rome (in our language and basic conceptions), thanks to the Catholic Church and its monasteries.
Islam originated as a military reaction to the Byzantine Empire.
Islam took what was useful, and used it. They didn’t give a crap about what anybody thought outside of the rantings of their perverse ‘prophet’. Impossible to make any kind of advances when you’d probably get your head whacked off for pissing off some storefront Imam. We can see that dynamic here in the US emerging.
Biggest lie by Fiorina who knows little about Islam.
Between the 7th century and 17 the century, Muslims invaded India and brutalized millions of people with massacres, forced conversions, Jizya, & wars with the native Hindu’s.
When India was partitioned by the outgoing British colonialists, the Muslims in India wanted to form the separate country of Pakistan based on predominantly Muslim regions. However there were lot of Hindu’s living there what was to become Pakistan. Those Hindu’s tried to escape Pakistan and in the process suffered the most brutal terror at hands of fanatic Muslims.
And now she insulted the Chinese...who were actually the greatest civilization on earth. Everyone was trying to make fire and the Chinese were advancing in everything.
Problem was, they managed to control their population by nasty means.
Without a doubt the oldest known recorded civilization on earth. Thousands of years old.
No since then They added Chattanooga..
Tomorrow, Monday Aug 10 at 9am EST, Ted Cruz will be at a Biscuit and Gravy event at GraceWorks Church, 6445 Lee Highway, Chattanooga..
I have my FREE ticket..
anyone with a ticket for the original venue which proved to be too small was EMailed a new one for the new spot..
The organizers have been great..
If this keeps up Ted will Cruz into the White House on his daughters scooter..easy peasy..
:)
Given her history, it would be a hole leading to India.
This is the third article I’ve read today that has me saying; bye bye to Carly.
Still, the instinct to appease after being brutally attacked is troubling.
Wow. How pathetic can you get? Carly Fiorina has connection to a murderer? Who are you shilling for? Trump? Sounds like desperation to me. If that’s the case, you should be desperate. The winners of the debates were Fiorina, Cruz, Carson, and Rubio. They were the most articulate, classy, and, in the cases of Cruz, Rubio, and Fiorina, the best informed about the issues. You can disagree with their stands on particular issues, but at least they give evidence that they’ve thought carefully about them and have firm ideas about solutions.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a crude, vulgar, egotistical, ignorant, and thin-skinned individual who takes every criticism as a personal insult. He had no specifics or solutions to offer about problems or issues and he gave no indication he has made any effort to study and learn. Some of his rambling answers were incoherent. I predict his debate performance in Cleveland will mark the beginning of the end of Donald Trump.
I think in his heart he realizes he doesn’t really want to make the effort to gain the knowledge of issues that the others on the stage clearly displayed. So, he resorts to name-calling and insults and bombast to try to divert attention from his shortcomings. He lacks the qualities to be the kind of head of state and head of government the country needs. He’s not presidential material.
By the way, I know someone named Sneed. She was a coworker of mine. No connection to Carly Fiorina at all. Maybe she was related to this murderer! Jeesh.
I’ll credit them for nice rugs, calligraphy, the Taj Mahal and the Alhambra.
The latter two in conquered lands, with native craftsman.
Oh, Damascene swords - the heated steel cooled in the body of a muscular slave.
On the whole, millions of dead vote, not worth it.
