OT: Bill, I'm not sure I want to pick on any particular religion(s), although some are probably much worse than others. Doug

OT Bill for someone with such knowledge of History. I'm surprised you forgot to mention the Israelites are the chosen people of God. How else could they win wars being outnumbered 10 to 1. "as was shown again and again by Israel and in desert storm. So they are self limiting as they agress their own people mainly. Of course will some muslims differ? you bet. tell me chapter and verse where I am wrong." Milo

OT Re: tell me the chapter and verse where I am wrong. While I am not a great fan of organized religion I do want to comment on your statements regarding Islam. First of all Islam was started by Muhammed so there were really no muslims before him. Secondly the mathematics of the arabs was all created after Islam became the prevalent religion in the area. In fact islamic scholars preserved and expanded much of the greek mathematics while Europe was in the grips of the dark ages. Likewise the arab empire was built after Muhammed. Please try to get your facts straight before you make these kinds of statements. Best Niels

Bill re <<The muslims were the leaders in mathematics and science, up until Mohammed>> ROFL!!! There was no such thing as Muslim before Mohammed! Re <<study of religious books became the mandated course of study and their science languished. Of course this made them horrible warriors and unable to operate modern tech weapons, as was shown again and again by Israel and in desert storm. So they are self limiting as they agress their own people mainly.>> Bill, with all due respect, it is painfully obvious that you are far from an expert in this field. I can go on for a long time on this topic, but I spare the thread. I just say that it is important to be silent about any sensitive topic that you are not an expert in. Mani
