Hey. A thought. Start with engineering, medicine, and the modern banking system. Then add some simple day-to-day stuff, like, hmmmm, say...let me quickly think - regular bathing? Then, after that, study a bit. Then, after that, come back and tell me how terribly wrong you probably think I am. All in that order. Be sure to study as it is unproductive to speak of what you are not versed in.
Now I am puzzled. I am wondering how in the world Islam got tied up with the pirate issue? Those guys seem to be equal opportunity across the board as they do not appear to pick their targets on the basis of any single belief. So, their motive must be something else. I will ponder.
Decision made. I have scooped up the below quote. It is odorous. The quickly developed plan is to take it outside - then what? I know. I will use it for something positive and do some good. I will fertilize something with it.
While Arabs, not the religion of Islam, has had some moments of genius long long ago, the advocates of the religion Islam, who are not all Arabs, have plunged many nations into the dark ages and continue to have their dark ages, crusader mentality.
These pirates are muslims. They practice the same thing muslims do in other nations like the Philippines of kidnapping people and holding them for ransom so they can buy more weapons.
Before you can convince us otherwise, rather than come here and attempt to rebuke us, you and all other moderate muslims need to go on a campaign of rebuking those radicals, get Islamic nations to stop beating the mess out of women, stop turning a blind eye to the practices of some of a girl being raped, then being stoned to death for being raped (honor killing).
Maybe you are just not loud enough, or maybe your visit to these forums is too arrogant. But we see Pakistan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Phillippians, Turkey Afghanistan and other nations that are islamic nations and where such practices occur...If you agree with the things that go on there then that is one thing and quite frankly you are never going to concince is Islam is the way. If you are against those things then before you can convince us of anything you guys need to start speaking LOUDER than your more intolerant and more conservative brethren

Modern banking has to do with the use of electronic banking and electronic transfer of money.
We know you have to be smoking something if you believe that came from Islam. The earliest mechanical real cash registers were from NCR and 1 or 2 others. Islam had nothing to do with the development of computors and software to do banking as we know it. I will give Muslims a credit for the explosion of bank fraud, money laundering and the necessity of the patriot act to ensure a decrease of some laundering and international transfer of money for weapons.
The leading criminals exploiting banks today are Muslim groups.
Actually, my roomate, co worker, neighbor and relative became the director of all research for IBM for many years. Of course he had no Muslim discoveries to chase to learn how to develop technology and create Computer POS devices and transfer info. The only thing Muslims and the middle east shared was sand. sand for the semiconductor industry. Now I suppose you will take credit for inventing and discovering sand? I had an employee that is a ceramics engineer. Funny how the Arabs are so irrelevant in the development of integrated circuitry and storage materials.
Just remember Mohammad was illiterate and you can have had the transfer of info limited to verbal repition have a lot of error over time.
