That's what I think Nail.
The Muslims invented modern terrorism.
That's why I found 12,800 hits for
" Yasser Arafat" " father of modern terrorism "
on Google.

It seems all they can do is invent new ways to terrorise people.

they seem to like to follow the primitive aspects of the old Quran but they are pretty quick to grab hold of the latest technology courtesy of their western foes Wink

How come they don't find western technology offensive ??

Muslims have always employed the latest technologies, except for during the period of decline, when some ignorants became anti-technology.

Technologies are not specific to any culture. The British do not own the laws of gravity, simply because Isaac Newton codified them. The laws of gravity are universal, and operate the same in China as they do in Britain.

lastnail, why the picture of the lady? If you have no reason for it to be there, then it shall be removed.

Abu,
Quote:

And so we'll see as islamic civilisation rises again from its own ashes,
that Islam is the only thing that ever raised the Arabs and others up to the heights they achieved.

That is only wishful thinking.
Just like the Romans & the Greeks they are doomed.
Abu - I suggest you read a book called "The Rise & Fall of the Roman Empire"
You'll see how they descended into violence just like the Arabs & that was the end of them.

If that's the case then how come you lot haven't invented and contributed to any of it ??

How can you lot take science and engineering seriously if you are still behaving like Neanderthals and following everything in some old book that was written 1000's of years ago !!

And in case you hadn't noticed the lady in the picture is holding a modern piece of WESTERN technology in her hand whilst wearing a bit of clothing which dates back to the stone age times !!

Anyway - Abu has admitted that they have now declined.
I think my guess of 200 years is about right for no innovation at all.

Declined and vanished. The Islamic state system, was abolished officially in 1924, but for its last 100 years was in serious decline.

Quote:

I doubt if they will rise again.

Most analysts agree it's on the verge of being re-established.

It is the West's greatest fear, hence all the current attacks on Islam and the Muslim world, and the attempts to control and stifle progress in their countries.

Quote:

I saw a Muslim school on TV from - Somalia or was it Yemen?
The kids weren't taught anything at all but how to
recite & write the Koran by heart.
I felt so sorry for those kids.
Brainwashing little kids is a crime in my book.
They will never advance like that.

And I'm really sure the reporters objectively reported about their entire curriculum.

Quote:

modern terrorism

Really? So the Zionist militant groups that bombed the King David Hotel and carried out various other attacks during their attempts to steal Palestine were not considered terrorists? Because the British certainly called them that.

Quote:

flying aeroplanes into skyscrapers.

I think that was a Christian American invention

Dont forget stoning, cutting off hands, decaptitaions etc etc...

Yes but universal laws aren't 'technologies'......

Newton just wrote down his observations of something that was happening already..

Whereas, for example, Bell actually designed and constructed a device, which he patented....so Bell's piece of technology and the designs did in fact belong TO him..

Which decades later a certain group of nutters are now using in IED's and suicide bombings.
