Once Upon A Time

[MJB12741]

Around 900 to 1200 C.E. the Muslims were among the world's greatest contributors to excellence in learning. Is there ANYONE who does not marvel at the wisdom in the works of the Mu'tazilites, Avicena, al-Kindi, al-Farabi & Averroes? Men who's worldly influence was even praised in writing by the renowned Jewish philosopher Maimonodes. So much for Muslims to be proud of.

And today, the world has Palestinians to replace them.

they were brilliant----but not particularly original thinkers---they
were schooled by christians, jews and zoroastrians----the big
problem in the world of islam is that they murder and oppress their
teachers -------muslims do BRILLIANTLY when they absorb
and cherish the genius of those they conquor-----in fact we see
the SAME phenomenon in India---with the MOGHUL EMPIRE---
the famous TAJ MAHAL is a manifestation of both pre-islamic
Byzantine architecture and HINDU ART ------then what happens?

Muslims invaded mesopotamia----and TOOK the city which became
baghdad----ALREADY MADE-----a center of learning and culture---
now what? alexandria ------now what? cordoba----well---now
what?

 

[MJB12741]

Now they even condemn & persecute their own for spreading love, peace & truth. Consider the case of Salman Rushdie.

They were not brilliant. They conquered and took what other brilliant civilizations had. They are a cruel and completely intolerant religion that murder to force their ways upon those that are weaker. Intolerant and completely dictatorial in philosophy and in action. A curse upon mankind that will soon bring another world war if not held in check. They will not be held in check is my prediction. Which means they will be the primary cause of WW3.

They invaded lands and civilizations, and then called it their own. Islam history in a nutshell.

Really? sure should like the Romans and Christianity

the inquisitions the Conquering and spreading diseases to native lands and cultured for the "church" all over the world by the sword .

 

[MJB12741]

I disagree. They were indeed brilliant thinkers, although as Irose stated, not always original thinkers. Nontheless, their contributions to philosophy & literature were immence, even in todays world.

And now we have Palestinians to replace them in worldly contributions to civilization.

MJB---all true---they did utilize that which was available to them
of the genius of zoroastrians, jews, hindus, and christians ---
BRILLIANTLY-----but when you say "muslims" in lands conquored
by muslims what you are really saying is people who ----are fairly
recent converts-----the ARABIANS never really did anything. Keep
in mind----the RULING PARTY was muslims----to get anywhere in
one's CAREER one had to BE A MUSLIM------just as Disraeli was
a christian Another factoid is ----lots of historic characters were
CONVERTED to islam posthumously----it was almost 45 years ago
that a recently arrived surgeon from pakistan INFORMED ME ----
that there was once a very famous doctor in muslim spain who----
had been born a jew but then converted to islam and became a
great doctor----------you ready???........................???

his name was MAIMONIDES

(mosque history--the kind
in which sherri was
'educated' )

What connection is there between their intelligence, wisdom and pursuit of knowledge and their religion? Great scholars and scientist's come from all faiths and all faiths have some the dumbest morons ever born.

They aren't the same people. The muslims of today are just desert savages who just happen to call themselves muslims. They are in no way the inheritors of the educated culture that preceded them.

Worse than that. They are destroyers of all they deem not of Allah's will. They would plunge the world into a new dark age if allowed to gain that power.

The Renaissance in Europe created magnificent architectural structures and fine art that last even today. Muslems created subjugation and destruction.
