When is the last time the Arabs won a war? Any war?
When is the last time their "leaders" actually fought a war? Instead they simply send their teenagers to commit suicide against civilians. Or hide in their palaces while their people fight and starve.
When have they ever built an airplane, instead of flying them into civilian buildings.
Their culture is one of death. They are centuries behind because of their oil wealth, they have no need to be productive.

You asked...so please dont take this as me defending them.
I watched a show on Islam last night on the History channel. They actually rules from Spain to China in the middle ages. The Ottoman empire was a pretty big deal for a while too.
Long story short, the Arab world kicked butt for a long, long time.
But then again, Frank Gifford looked good in the 60's and I could kick his butt now!
Remember, you asked.
