Islam is and always has been a threat to the safe existence of civilised culture.

Up until the sacking of Baghdad by the Mongols, Islam was probably the intellectual center of the world.

Germany was a center for industrial advancement between WWI and WWII, and again not long after WWII, despite crippling debt repayments, war restitutions, being firebombed into the ground, invaded, divided between two competing superpowers, and having a lot of its intellectual talent poached, still managed to be relevant within 50 years.

Baghdad should have recovered 1200 years ago. The remnants of the Abbasid and Ummayid empires never really scraped anything together after they fell apart.

It's been 800 years since anything of intellectual worth came out of the Muslim world. Time to stop playing that card.

What card? I'm not defending the dirthole that is the modern middle east. I'm simply pointing out a flaw in OP's assertion.

That's all well and good, but what have they done for us lately?

[–]lolol42 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nothing. I'm just saying that at one point, they were a meaningful contributor.

Classic moving the goalposts.

[–]MusicMole 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

The goal posts have been set 800 years ago.

Still waiting on the next goal...

The assertion was that

Islam is and always has been [emphasis mine] a threat to the safe existence of civilised culture.

The commenter was responding to “always has been”. Your request of what they've done for us lately is unfair on the commenter, because they never claimed that they've remained a great intellectual force or anything.

Was I comparing modern Islam to ancient Islam? No! He asserted that they have always been a threat to civilization and I pointed out that there was a point (a long time ago) when that was not true.

[–]JackalKing 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup. Some of the greatest mathematicians and astronomers in history were from the Islamic world. Didn't anyone here watch Cosmos with Neil DeGrasse Tyson? Pretty sure he clearly talks about this stuff.

It's 2015. Why does this vapid comment still get upvotes?

That was 800 AD. I think it's time for that claim to stop being relevant.

[–]lolol42 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not untrue. Sure the religion contributes nothing to the modern world, but at one point, it was relevant. I didn't realize we were talking about events in this millennium. The comment said ALWAYS, not recently.

That's very easy when they kept gobbling up countries

[–]lolol42 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. The Mongols were a force to be reckoned with.

    *Islamism.

    I don't think random muslims are a threat. The problem is when radical islamists decide to shove their ideology in everyone else's face.

    Just so you know, GamerGhazi is brigading this comment. They believe it proves that you are 'right-wing'. No doubt they also believe that Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins are right-wing.

    [–]Zinthros [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    You've been linked by Ghazi!

    Funny, considering Islam absolutely ABHORS women and anyone remotely LGBT. But they get a free pass to be misogynistic, homophobic shitlords because they're (mostly) not "white."

    You know when aGG call GG right wing... Its hyperbolic bullshit like this.
