The greatest thinkers in Islam early are devoted to Greek thought, they preserve most of it for Eurpoe , then Islam takes the big dive into 1000yrs decline after they get censured.
Same time Eurpope inherits that classical literature & expands, the rennaissance,literature, art & sciences & humanism bloom! Its even referred to as a "flowering" , dimmy. Fundmementalist today just like yesterday & 1000yrs ago, or 2000yrs ago in Jerusalem, take your pick, same zealouts, same psychology. Look what happens every time, and god is never anywhere to be seen. |
