Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
R. A. Morey in his book 'The Islamic Invasions' describes what is perfectly true. Allah is the moon idol of northern Arabia. No amount of Moslem lying, sniffling, screaming, or rock-throwing can deny that fact. Nothing.
Muhammad's handbook of hate was created by men based upon the pagan practices of an illiterate and barbaric Bedouin theology. No surprise then that Western self-loathing no-brains are so in love with the cult of Submission.
