Quote from trefoil:
Yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah.
Your education is worthless if it can't give you the common sense to figure out that if six million were killed less than two generations ago in the name of your Christian religion,
Where's yours? Nazis were just as Christian as Bin Laden is Buddhist. Paganism was one of the roots of the Nazi doctrine, that's pretty well known by any historian worth his salt.
What makes Christianity fundamentally different from Islam, is not how people interpreted and applied them, but what is written in their source.
Try to tell me that the Gospels and the Qur'an are similar in their message.
Quote from trefoil:
You write in Arabic numerals because they were and are far superior to Roman numerals for mathematics; double entry bookkeeping, the basis for modern business accounting, was invented by the Arabs, and that only scratches the surface. If you think Europe is going to go down because of Islamic immigration, you're ignorant and dumb.
Since you are willing to ascribe every single invention under the sun to the oh-so-wise Muslims, I'll have to cut you off lest some you succeed in brainwashing gullible sheep into believing you.
Arabic numerals?
Cross that one out.
The only reason they're called Arabic, is because the Europeans first were introduced to them by Arabs.
The "Arabic" numerals were invented by the Hindus, and adopted by the Arabs.
That is a well-known fact, btw. But you didn't know it.
Double entry book-keeping?
Yet another "invention" that the Muslims try so hard to portray as a fruit of their civilization. There is NO evidence whatsoever that accounting as we know it today was ever used by the Muslims. NONE.
However, there is irrefutable proof that Pachioli invented, and put into writing, the modern principles of the double-entry bookkeeping system that we use today.
So there go your brilliant "Muslim inventions" down the toilet back into your fertile Muslim netherworld of timeless Muslims "inventions".
I am not even touching upon the fact that Arabs built and maintained one of the finest libraries of Classical works of Greece and Rome in their time, while that is certainly commendable, it also shows how much scientific knowledge they adopted, rather than invented.
Muslims certainly had their inventors, but your era of invention was short-lasted, and was over as soon as the Muslim doctrine became more settled, and started curbing the intellectual freedom of its followers. That is about 5-6 centuries after Islam's invention, and it's still in effect today, as is showcased by the utter backwardness of 100% of Muslim nations today.
