Hi Maurice

my reply was specific to your statement "What matters is what's going on nowadays. In the 20th century and 21st century, there's nothing much but carnage coming out of the Moslem world. They have been resting on 1000 year old laurels."

When a Muslim migrates to another part of the world, does that make him a Muslim no more ? I don't think so... and what I attempted to show is that the Muslim world has produced and continues to produce some of the finest brains... granted they may migrate to other parts of the world, and hence the brain drain effect on the mother country... but that does not change the fact of where they came from.

now, which is a larger contribution of scale to the world... the fanatic jihadis killing 1,000 or even 10,000 person or the science of nanotechnology for example ? yet, you consider that only fanatic jihadis are coming out of the Muslim world and you totally ignore the contribution of the discovery of nanotechnology. Why is that ?

and by the way, did I miss the scientific basis of the links you posted ? or this is just another website alleging whatever findings they want to propagate ?

and as for your statement "I know it's unfashionable to attribute anything to race" ... well Maurice, there is a word for that...

regards
AV
