An interview with President Obama 2:57pm on 05 Jun 2009 397 Simon21
Have you noticed that we mostly treat you very much like we do the backside of horse? In effect, we take no notice. So get a job or find something better to do than write absolute nonsense. Maybe study. Study would be good - not least into America's genocide against its native Indians, the wiping out of buffalo herds, its history of segregation, the killing of children in the womb (about 50 million now!), then its degeneration into political correctness cowardice and dishonesty, and with it the silencing of free speech through the effects of a lame-brained Hate-speech Bill. It should be fascinating. If you know anything about the fall of the Roman Empire, you might begin to get the picture.

What you wrote here was just too true. Pathetic, too ignorant to recognize their own ignorance. Two chimps let loose on computers couldn't do worse.

Don't worry about my directness. No hostility intended toward you, but then, you're Canadian and don't quite understand!!! The fact, you're getting the wrong end of the stick from Wiki, all of which can be sorted out with a bit of research.

From long experience it's evident you specialize in writing some astoundingly ignorant rubbish in response to an attempt at discussion.

"The Arabs did not remove the inhabitant physically," you say. Based upon what knowledge do you make such a brilliant statement? In fact, they often simply hacked off the inhabitants heads, so I guess you could say they removed the inhabitants physically.

Simon, your needle got stuck in the groove and wore out the record long ago. Try something original, by now it should be evident I'm not fazed one iota by your pathetic stereotypes and characterless political correctness. And then you cannot spell or express yourself really decently. Can we safely assume that you also operate in a fog?

Oh, and just by the way, your country went to Afghanistan to stop attacks on it. Try equating that with the Crusaders.

Having revealed to you in my 326 all that I did about algebra, geometry, astronomy, architecture, hopefully you will re-think your comment to Gary, i.e. "Regarding Islam (in the civilizational sense) and mathematics, it is not so much a question of this civilization or that generating individual talent. It is a question of why an individual with such a talent finds a social environment where this talent is both cultivated and valued. To put it more directly, my point was to show that Islamic civilization was both capable and willing to cultivate such individuals."

You are being misled, much the way I once was by hollow boasts based upon what turned out to be nothing more than erroneous information and chauvinistic attitudes.

And now you know that Islamic civilizations are less "capable and willing to cultivate such individuals" than you were led to believe, maybe your "believer" faith in Wiki will also experience a re-think.

Just today in his Middle East speech Barack Obama stated that Moslem communities had been "in the forefront" of innovation and advancement. In a contemporary context, from where did he get (or dream up) this information? Maybe his aids also consulted Wiki.

You've made some interesting comments, among these: "There is certainly much Arab hatred towards Israel because they felt their land was stolen."
Worth noting is that Arabs never seem to recognize that they stole a lot of other people's land, not least that of the Byzantines, Persians, Jews, Egyptians, Carthaginians, Berbers, etc.

They invaded Spain in 711 AD and only in 1492 finally got ejected from what were by then small southern toe-holds. Now the more nutty Muslim extremists like Osama bin Laden express their belief that Spain is territory that belongs to Islam.

In conversation with Arabs from the Middle East I discovered deep-seated resentment toward Europe because of the Crusades, in the process failing to recognize that the Crusades were Europe's response to invasions by Arabs - and, of course, the Turks - but in effect, Islamic forces.

How does one deal with such a mindset?

You, having absolutely no ideas and minimal grey matter to offer, resorts to ridiculing a website name. Some brilliance! And now you're officially partnered with Simple Simon for making inane comments.

Please read my postings above. No doubt you have kindly intentions, but it is evident that you have been seriously misled, so stop flattering Islam about the supposedly intellectually superior human beings it produces. It doesn't and you're basing your opinions on erroneous information.

An expert on Islam, Dr Peter Hammond, upon whose head the government of Sudan has placed a price and order to shoot on sight, in his book, 'What Islam is not' (Adapted from his book, 'Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat?'), he says it is not a religion, and neither is it a cult, but in it fullest form a complete system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components.
The religious component, he says, is a beard for all of the other components.
An interview with President Obama 03:53am on 04 Jun 2009 237 chronophobe - and others
Re this debate about who invented mathematics, consider this I found on Google:
"Different cultures have made their own forms of mathematics. The Mayans, Indians, Greeks, and Chinese all developed separate math systems. Our mathematics today comes mainly from ideas developed in ancient India and Greece. Algebra and other topics were taken from India to Arabia, where they were then transferred to Europe. Most of our geometry comes from the Greeks. Calculus was developed in Europe by Sir Isaac Newton".

You're getting out too much and reading the wrong stuff! As to Wiki, it contains extravagant Muslims claims that amount to erroneous nonsense. So much for "the excellent Wiki entries"!

Geometry was invented by the Greeks. So was trigonometry. Algebra was invented by a Persian named Muhammad ibn Muas al-Khwarizmi in late 800AD
- it is thought, and if so, he lived in a Persia by then ruled by the Muslims who invaded it. However, the existence of algebra can be traced back to ancient Babylon.

"The earliest person regarded as an astronomer, as opposed to a cult priest trying to impress the rubes by predicting eclipses, seasons and the like, was Thales of Miletus," a Greek who visited Babylon and Egypt round 600AD, and thus before Islam emerged from Saudi Arabia.

The Muslims did not invent architecture, the Greeks did. Further, Greek architect invented three orders of architecture; Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.

You should be more careful what you read and believe. From a Arab Muslim acquaintance I long ago heard these claims of who invented what, so took the trouble to find out.
