"A bit of historical reference to our adventure in Iraq---"

I wonder if this is why the Arabs lost their lead in science and math. After defeats like that, I could see the fundies saying that this was God's retribution for their pride. If the caliph had prayed more, then it would have never happened, etc. Then, after they gained control, the fundies never let up...
