    Of course they did. Where do you think the Muslims got the knowledge?

    Well yes and the warfare was pretty much a constant. The last great Muslim push westward ended out side the gates of Vienna in 1683. On again and off again warfare between the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarian Empire and it's various allies would continue for another 150 years not finally coming to and end until the end of the Crimean War. In some ways Al Qeada et al are an attempt to roll back the secularism of Attaturk

    It’s weird how we constantly see attacks from you on both Christianity and Islam, but no other religions. Hmmm, I think I finally figured you out.

    Hinduism and most all other religions are almost equally as bad.

    So true, so true.
    They do currently lead the world in condemning free speech, however - as them wanting to shut down Geert Wilder's Cartoon contest proves, so I guess they do lead the world in....something.

    Europe was still partially infested by Muslims during part of the 19th century. In fact Muslims still hold the chunk of Europe where Constantinople is. Hey Constantinople is still being desecrated and called Istanbul.

    Parts of the Balkans and Russia are still populated with Muslims.
    If Inwas you Inwould not quote that piece of turd eating bacteria named Stalin.

    There is NO WAY that you're going to kick out the Muslims from Europe. Illegal and unethical. The only hope is conversion to a different (or no) religion.

    Let me guess, you hold one of these in a better regard than the others.

    For example, Buddhism is quite bad because it's role model left his family (obviously a terrible role model), and teaches that women are inferior, so no religion is really that much BETTER than the vile Abrahamic faiths are - all are superstitious nonsense.

    Inca/Aztec had it even earlier. Current ancient interaction models make any appropriation unlikely, but still, its worth noting

    Some overgeneralizing aside, that's a good point. Arabs weren't always (predominantly) Muslim. However Islam did evolve from Arab culture.

    The Arab world had plenty of contributions to modern society, both before and after the emergence of Islam as we know it. As to the OP, during the centuries mentioned, most majority muslim areas were in fact in a 'dark age' of violence, conquest and social/cultural stagnation. Europe at this point was just emerging from its own similar 'dark age' resulting from the culturally stagnant remnants of Roman Catholic rule. The Renaissance (which made Europe 'great again') is the term applied to this emergence and is closely tied to a Reformation in Christendom. Arab/Muslim culture (as they are for all intents and purposes one-and-the-same currently) has not yet had its renaissance. No reformation. ...and its in dire need of it.

    There is two thing you miss in that :
    Siddartha Gauthama leave his family before becomming Buddha.
    About women are inferior, it's not a thought shared by all buddhic schools.

    However, there is a lot of corruption in Buddhism.

    Religion is maybe bad, but it's not worse than the lies sold by the politicians. Elections replaced prayers, politicians replaced prophets.

    So AFTER he became Buddha he did the right thing and went back to his wife and kids?

    Women can't become Buddha, so Buddhism is pathetic.

    Yeah that's why they're in the NM desert teaching kids to become school shooters and flying airplanes into buildings.

    Just tell Brew that you're not a Jew and that he should stop seeing Jews under every bed. It's bad for his health.

    I'm not an expert, but as far as I know, his wife was dead but he linked back with his son.

    It depend of the sutras, in the sutra of the lotus, the story of the "dragon king's daughter" which reach Buddhahood.

    I think they also co-founded slavery.

    The Muslims also invented the Sextant without which the age of discovery would have taken much longer and thus lead in a round about way into the creation of the United States. Without their help with navigation this country may have been the United Tribes of Iroquois.

    When it happens it will be them trying to kick out the Europeans.

    And by kick out of course I mean slaughtering them.

    Both the Bible and Qur'an, TO THIS VERY DAY, approve of slavery full-stop. Clearly outdated religions - clearly. Obviously neither god knows right from wrong.
