Well, oh foolish one, thats rather funny, because Baghdad was the capitol of the intellectual wold during the Middle ages and the Islamic empire was the most advanced and scholarly in all the world.

In fact, they saved the world form Christian anti-intellectualism and saved Greco-Roman Classicism.

It was Islam's contributions that started the Italian and subsequent European Renaissances.

Not a big fan of it.

Except they're not prodisposed to world domination.

The Muslim Golden Age ended a long time ago, it's an Athiest Age now. Muslims are however(In the Middle East that is) living in the Middle Ages, they will murder people for not being Muslim, very dangerous, but I know some, their semi-friends of mine, they arn't bad, so I dunno, I say they need one set version of their Religion, that's their problem, the people choose what it means

Where is all this "they are living in the middle ages" coming from?

Their society, they never advanced in Culture, Government, Technology, anything, since then, their ideals are all based from back then, when they had glory, and now look at it

Cultures? How are you defining culture?

They haven't advanced technologically? How is the Islamic middle east then one of the cornerstones of the modern economy and industry - what with the importance of oil and all?

Government? Which one are you talking about? We have dicatorships, we have theocracies, we have democracy... how exactly are these indicative of Middle Age standards? By that logic there are Asian nations that are middle age like. And the whole of Africa almost?

It seems to me that "middle ages" in this case is being used to me "Hasn't kept pace with the "west"/is not acting like the "west" thinks it should."

😆 Don't be foolish.

1. How are we in an Athiest age?

2. No religon has one doctrine. Look at how many versons of EVERY religion, not to mention non-religious philosophies. The fact that you should demand one is absurd.

Indeed. And if the Muslims have to be mashed into a single religious identity it would be only just if we merge all the Christian groups into a single Christian faith. And maybe the Buddhists groups into one as well.

Of course there would likely be war... after all, who is to say which is the doctrine all the others should adhere to?

An Athiestic golden age might be nice though.

As long as it was permenant.

Yeah I know about all that, thats all in the past now.

Personally, I'm glad I'm not Muslim, because if I were, I'd be embarrassed and pissed as [insert Islamic word for Hell here] that a handful of barbarians had hijacked my faith and are making it look like [insert Islamic word for sh*t here] in front of the rest of the world.

Hijacked how?

Hijacked from what? The 7th century murdurous warlord tactics and updated it to today's terorism?

What EXACTLY has been hijacked from Islam?

How the hell noone hijacked Buddhism!? Why noone hijacked Taoism and Zen?!
Why noone hijicked Judaism?

Jihad is a holy war, and its been declared on everything non-Muslim, particulary so the west.

Orale! Tell me about it. The religion has gone down the toilet, since the majority of its followers act like it's still 1000 A.D. I'm not talking about the approximate 7 million Muslim Arab-Americans; I'm talking about the Arabs over there.

Instead of the star & crescent, the religion's symbol should be an AK and an RPG.

Lil, you need to wake up. All of Islam has not declared war on everyhtign non-Muslim. Its a small minority of crazies that are the product of poor education and unstable governments.

Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, and Judaism are all very tiny religions. Their extremest fractions are likely a couple hundred people spread throught the world. With a huge religion like Islam, the radical majority, which albeit is currently larger than normal, can gain some political traction.

Small minority my ass!

I need to wake up?

I awoke the minute I learned what Islam was and what it says. Its history and its future.

And what small minority? This ''minority'' is everywhere!

Where is this minority? Why does this minority control Arab televisions and school books, all over middle east where children are thought that Jews are not human and should all be murdered?

Strange that minority.

If it was a minority, we wouldn't hear about it all day every day, would we?

If it was a minority it would not attract so much attention BECAUSE MAJORITY would shut the MINORITY up.
