She said that between 800 and 1600 AD Islamic civilization was the greatest in the world, and noted their many accomplishments. You could easily argue that that was true. I don't see the issue.

Carly Fiorina Islamic Civilization was Greatest in the World - Freedom Outpost
She said that between 800 and 1600 AD Islamic civilization was the greatest in the world, and noted their many accomplishments. You could easily argue that that was true. I don't see the issue.
Here's some parts that the author of the article takes umbrage with. And he is correct to do so.
Interesting verbiage when she says "its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known."
Her portrayal of non-Muslims as scared to death of new knowledge is simply laughable.
- Mohammed made it quite clear that Islam was to be spread by the sword. And a blood-soaked spread it was.
- During the time frame Fiorina cited, fully two thirds of Christendom fell to the armies of Mohammed.
- From Mesopotamia to Armenia, Syria to the Holy Land; Egypt to Spain; Turkey to Vienna via the Balkans; Sicily to southern France. All Christian lands where Christians were given the option of convert, pay the exorbitant jizyah tax, or simply lose your head.
- Peace and prosperity are easily maintained in the wake of ethnic and religious cleansing.
Lastly, we hear of Fiorina's admiration of Suleiman the Magnificent who she described as responsible for "our notions of tolerance and civic leadership."
- It was Christendom that gave us our systems of libraries, hospitals and universities.
- Should I really bring up the burning of the Great Library of Alexandria?
- Has Fiorina really never heard of the destruction of countless repositories of science, art and literature that were safeguarded in Catholic and Orthodox churches, monasteries and convents?

- Was that the same Suleiman the Magnificent who invaded Europe, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Byzantines, Serbs, Hungarians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Poles, Romanians, Austrians, Croats, Slovaks, Germans, etc, etc?
- I again ask rhetorically, but possibly there's a different Suleiman the Magnificent I'm thinking of (probably not), but is he the same one that invaded East, and in the process slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Persian Shi'a Muslims?

Carly Fiorina Islamic Civilization was Greatest in the World - Freedom Outpost
What's killing me is her portrayal of the Ottoman Empire as "peace, love, dove" everybody they conquered just wanted to get along.
Aye carumba! It was so brutal that fratricide among the Sultans was instituted and accepted.
Check this out. I gather they didn't believe in big family gatherings.
Fratricide
Sultan Selim introduced the policy of fratricide (the murder of brothers).
Under this system whenever a new Sultan ascended to the throne his brothers would be locked up. As soon as the Sultan had produced his first son the brothers (and their sons) would be killed. The new Sultan's sons would be then confined until their father's death and the whole system would start again.
This often meant that dozens of sons would be killed while only one would become Sultan.
In the later centuries of Ottoman rule, the brothers were imprisoned rather than executed.

No, it really doesn't.
It's actually very easy for me to wrap my head around not disregarding and trashing the legacy of the largest religion in the world simply because a few people who espoused it committed acts of terrorism.
In fact, I have a very hard time wrapping my head around why you would have an issue with it.
