Subhuman? Those guys invented algebra when your kings couldn't count on their fingers and toes. A point of correction. I certainly agree with the thrust of your overall position. But leaving this aside, I must say this fabled "Islamic brilliance" consists of quite a lot of myth. They did not invent algebra. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk. Indeed they did not invent much of anything. They did make some contributions, but almost all of them were extentions of the contributions of other cultures. There are no real "Arabic numerals," for example. "Arabic" numerals are actually Indian. I say this not to discount the historic contributions of Arabs, but to point out that those contributions add to the value of modern muslims no more than the contributions of ancient Greeks add to the value of modern Greeks. It appears there are vast numbers of modern day muslims who are indeed sub-human. If any be amongst them who are human, they are very hard to find. Savagery is mainstream amongst the muslims of today.
