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.
Shocking surprise. Only 14 out of the top 15 Christian-persecuting countries are Moslem. North Korea – an Atheist gulag – is the only obstacle to a Moslem sweep. The Western mainstream media of course, heralds this as 'proof', that Islam is peace, love, harmony and perforce that the cult of Muhammad created the modern world.....Phd academic 'science' to follow.
