The West owes credit to Islam's historical feats

The relationship between Islam and the West has been depicted as one of confrontation and indifference, but there is more to Islam and its relation with the West than violence and confrontation.

What does this mean? This is news? Islam has given us little except dead bodies - you're going to have to do a little more to convince me.

Islamic countries would be still drinking camel milk straight from the teet if it wasn't for Western technology. They wouldn't even know there was oil in the ground, or what it was even for if not for being so "westernised" themselves. Hypocrites enjoying 'infidel' inventions and using them to blow 'themselves' up. Fools.

James Madison
“ We’ve staked our future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all of our heart.”

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”[1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]

Benjamin Rush:
•“I lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them…we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government; that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible; for this Divine Book, above all others, constitutes the soul of republicanism.”“By withholding the knowledge of [the Scriptures] from children, we deprive ourselves of the best means of awakening moral sensibility in their minds.”[Letter written (1790’s) in Defense of the Bible in all schools in America]
•“Christianity is the only true and perfect religion.”
•“If moral precepts alone could have reformed mankind, the mission of the Son of God into our world would have been unnecessary.”

"Let the children who are sent to those schools be taught to read and write and above all, let both sexes be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education”
Letters of Benjamin Rush, "To the citizens of Philadelphia: A Plan for Free Schools", March 28, 1787

Muhammad also disagreed with allah on the beating of wives.
and on apostacy
and on stoning...I think the goat ate that aya
and on tolerance.

But, the companions still sucked. Don't know why allah would trust any of them to compile the quran. Weird, huh?

His article was hailirous. He didn't even take the time to talk about what great things islamic middle east contribute to the world and the west.

It is true that great nations of the middle east have had lands that went from southern spain, west of africa to asia. Al-Salidin was a powerful ruler. Islamic middle east contributed to the maths and sciences from what I've been told.

Back to the article it sounds like that Mr. Mohamad Abdalla want sympathy for islam or he didn't want to write up an article so he wrote some BS.

If you have a look at the other links I provided about this guy ... then the people in Hawaii might not have let him come along to speak in the first place ....
