Sounds like a perfect job for Obama's NASA Muslim outreach program.
I'm thoroughly convinced these radicals are nucking futs,
Hard-line Islamists is just a long-winded way of saying Retards.
"Various sites in Timbuktu house a matchless collection of 300,000 ancient Islamic texts"
Meh. Let em burn.
But the UN protested this? They didn't stop?
ya gotta remember...back when the retards swept outa tha desert and conquered Eygpt, the Library of Alexandra still housed many ancient texts....those that survived that fire during the era of Caesar/Cleopatra......
The scholars of Mecca ruled that any text which did not support Islam was heresy and any that did were superfluous....
To save time they just torched the lot.
When the first artillery arrived in Eygpt....it was promptly used to shoot off the Sphinx' nose....
One of the things you hear from the apologists for Islam is how far ahead of us they used to be. If they burn all the texts we can say "Prove it" and those morons won't have the evidence to do it.
Priceless? Worthless is more appropriate. Any math and science writing by an Islamic is plagarised material. While there were some few actual scholars in early islam, after the slamming of the gates of ijtihÄd in the 13th century thinking has not been allowed in Islam. http://bit.ly/NdaSnN
Name some scientific articles, papers or modern inventions, that we have all heard of or that we all use, that was developed by an Arab country.
Persian rugs do not count.
Where are the Moderate Muslims stopping them from all these Moderate Arab Nations? Where are the cries that their heritage is being destroyed ? Think if any Western nation was doing this the utter riots in every Country, the denunciations of Islamophobia. The UN sending troops. The press gone made with Islamophilia.
Frank Q "Name some scientific articles, papers or modern inventions, that we have all heard of or that we all use, that was developed by an Arab country."
Well they did steal our numeral system from India.
"Various sites in Timbuktu house a matchless collection of 300,000 ancient Islamic texts, some dating from the 13th century, which include treatises on science and mathematics."
{Various sites in Timbuktu house a matchless collection of 300,000 ancient Islamic texts, some dating from the 13th century,STOLEN from other cultures, which include treatises on science and mathematics.}
Fixed that for ya. As stated above,name ONE thing besides suicide bombers(and then not even that IIRC)that Islam has produced in medicine,religion,culture,or the sciences, that has NOT been plagerised or out right stolen.
Scar:
True enough.
However, even if they had developed the numeric system, it's not "modern" ;)
Think of all the lost Muslim wisdom...................................................................................................................................(snicker).
I think they have a great future in suicide.
Thanks JT. I just cam back to say just that.
Though probably there are records of arab african slave trade for a millinia.
"When the first artillery arrived in Eygpt....it was promptly used to shoot off the Sphinx' nose...."
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought Napoleon's French army did that.
But I nit pick, other than that, it hard to believe that such wicked foolishness is still going on in the 21st century.
